Really sanding down the rough edges this time around. This release includes significant ergonomic improvements to the high-level API.

Added

  • New Signature Keywords: Added keywords for common C and C++ types to improve signature readability and portability.
    • Added size_t and ssize_t as platform-dependent abstract types.
    • Added char8_t, char16_t, and char32_t as aliases for uint8, uint16, and uint32 for better C++ interoperability.
  • Cookbook Examples: Extracted all recipes from the cookbook documentation into a comprehensive suite of standalone, compilable example programs located in the eg/cookbook/ directory.
  • Advanced C++ Recipes: Added new, advanced cookbook recipes demonstrating direct, wrapper-free interoperability with core C++ features:
    • Calling C++ virtual functions by emulating v-table dispatch.
    • Bridging C-side stateful callbacks with C++ objects that expect std::function or similar callable objects.

Changed

  • Improved C++ Interoperability Recipes: Refined the C++ recipes to focus on direct interaction with C++ ABIs (mangled names, v-tables) rather than relying on C-style wrappers, showcasing more advanced use cases.

  • Improved wchar_t Guidance: Added a dedicated cookbook recipe explaining the best-practice for handling wchar_t and other semantic string types via the Type Registry, ensuring signatures are unambiguous and introspectable.

  • Enhanced High-Level API for Registered Types. The primary creation functions (infix_forward_create, infix_forward_create_unbound, infix_reverse_create_callback, and infix_reverse_create_closure) can now directly accept a registered named type as a signature.

    // The high-level API now understands the "@Name" syntax directly.
// Assume the registry already has "@Adder_add_fn = (*{ val: int }, int) -> int;"
infix_reverse_create_callback(&ctx, "@Adder_add_fn", (void*)Adder_add, reg);

  • The infix_read_global and infix_write_global functions now take an additional infix_registry_t* argument to support reading and writing global variables that are defined by a named type (e.g., @MyStruct).

Fixed

  • Fixed a critical parsing bug in infix_register_types that occurred when defining a function pointer type alias (e.g., @MyFunc = (...) -> ...;). The preliminary parser for finding definition boundaries would incorrectly interpret the > in the -> token as a closing delimiter, corrupting its internal nesting level calculation. This resulted in an INFIX_CODE_UNEXPECTED_TOKEN error and prevented the registration of function pointer types. The parser is now context-aware and correctly handles the -> token, allowing for the clean and correct registration of function pointer aliases as intended.
