Summary

  • Implements monomorphization strategy for generic functions with trait bounds, enabling trait method dispatch on type parameters
  • Fixes field assignment for generic struct types (Type::Generic handling)
  • Fixes while loop context for break/continue statements
  • Adds var statement else block handling for option unwrap pattern
  • Fixes unsafe block warnings in runtime tests

Changes

Type System (typechecker/)

  • typed_ast.rs: Added MonomorphizationInfo struct and tracking methods for recording specialized function instantiations
  • infer.rs: Implemented mangle_generic_function and mangle_type for generating unique names for monomorphized functions

Code Generation (codegen/cranelift/)

  • Added generic_functions HashMap to store uncompiled generic function ASTs
  • Implemented process_monomorphizations() to declare and compile specialized versions
  • Added compile_monomorphized_function() with type substitution support
  • Fixed field assignment to handle Type::Generic case
  • Fixed while loop to set loop_exit_block and loop_header_block for break/continue
  • Added proper handling for var statement else blocks (option unwrap pattern)

Runtime (runtime/)

  • Fixed unsafe function call warnings in test code for array.rs, bytes.rs, channel.rs, value.rs

Test plan

  • Build passes: cargo build
  • Runtime tests pass: cargo test --lib -- runtime::
  • Generic function with trait bounds compiles and runs correctly

Closes #17

- Type casting: string conversions with `as` operator (int↔string, float↔string, bytes↔string)
- Range expressions: `0..10` (exclusive) and `0..=10` (inclusive) in for loops
- String methods: `s.len()` and `s.char_at(index)` for character iteration
- Printf format strings: `{}` placeholder support in print/println
- Bytes type: heap-allocated byte arrays with string conversion
- Fix simple.naml: remove async/await (unsupported), comment out advanced FP utilities

- Support method receivers like `(self: LinkedList<T>)` in codegen
- Add type parameter substitution in method call inference
- Generic method return types now correctly resolve (e.g., `Box<string>.get_value()` returns string)

Implements monomorphization strategy for generic functions with trait bounds,
enabling trait method dispatch on type parameters. Also fixes several related
issues discovered during testing.

Key changes:
- Add monomorphization tracking in TypeAnnotations (typed_ast.rs)
- Implement type mangling for generating specialized function names (infer.rs)
- Add monomorphized function compilation in Cranelift codegen
- Fix field assignment for generic struct types (Type::Generic case)
- Fix while loop context for break/continue statements
- Add var statement else block handling for option unwrap pattern
- Fix unsafe block warnings in runtime tests (array, bytes, channel, value)

Closes #17

Code review

This PR has CLAUDE.md violations that should be addressed:

Inline Comments Violation

File: namlc/src/codegen/cranelift/mod.rs

Issue: This PR adds numerous inline comments throughout the file (e.g., // Skip generic functions - they will be monomorphized, // Store generic function for later monomorphization, etc.).

CLAUDE.md Rule: Line 15 of .claude/claude.md states:

Use block comments only at the top of files for 80-100 lines. No inline comments.

Recommendation: Remove all inline comments from the Rust source files. The code should be self-documenting through clear naming and structure.


Note: The files namlc/src/codegen/cranelift/mod.rs (4,925 lines) and namlc/src/typechecker/infer.rs (1,855 lines) also exceed the 1000-line limit specified in CLAUDE.md, and this PR worsens those violations. While these are pre-existing issues, they should be addressed in a future refactoring.
