Summary

  • Issue Add Node-target backend + vscode-API bindings to enable .affine VS Code extensions #35 Phases 1-2 — Node-CJS backend (lib/codegen_node.ml) + VS Code extension migrated from TypeScript to AffineScript (stdlib/Vscode.affine, stdlib/VscodeLanguageClient.affine, packages/affine-vscode/, editors/vscode/src/extension.affine). Phase 3 regression guard: tools/check-no-extension-ts.sh + just guard + CI step block extension.ts reappearance.
  • Issue extern type / extern fn declarations not parseable in user source #42extern fn / extern type parse and lower to WASM (import "env" "<name>" ...).
  • Cross-module typed-wasmCodegen.gen_imports emits one (import "<modpath>" "<fn>" ...) per imported function; Module_loader.flatten_imports threads imported public TopFns into all 22 non-WASM codegens; verify-boundary now works on user-authored source pairs.
  • WasmGC — variant-with-args lowering (tagged anon-struct + ref.i31); PatCon sub-pattern destructuring (Mk(a, b) => a); silent-bad-codegen fallbacks (lambda, unsafe block, match wildcards) replaced with explicit UnsupportedFeature errors.
  • StdlibCore.affine parser-collision fixes (const → always, ||-lambdas, curried flip) so test_simple_import compiles end-to-end.

188 → 207 tests, 0 regressions.

Known follow-up

Test plan

  • dune build lib bin test — clean
  • dune runtest --force — 207/207 pass locally
  • CI green

…ay sugar + PatCon (#35, #42)
Closes the long-standing cross-module gap and ships Issue #35 Phases 1-2
(Node backend + VS Code extension migration to AffineScript) plus #42
(extern fn / extern type), [T] array-type sugar, and PatCon sub-pattern
destructuring under WasmGC.
Compiler core
- codegen.ml: generate_module gains ?loader; gen_imports walks
prog_imports and emits one (import "<modpath>" "<fn>" (func ...)) per
imported function, plus per-extern-fn (import "env" "<name>" ...).
Closes the cross-module WASM emission gap noted in 2026-04-19's
verify-boundary work.
- resolve.ml + typecheck.ml: import path now writes to type_ctx.name_types
with check_program ?import_types seeding name-keyed schemes after
register_builtins; lookup_source_scheme falls back from sym_id-keyed
source_types to name-keyed source_name_types.
- module_loader.ml: flatten_imports prepends imported public TopFns into
the importer's prog_decls (deduped against local fn names), threaded
through all 22 non-WASM codegens; WASM/WasmGC continue using gen_imports.
- parser.mly + lexer.ml + token.ml + parse_driver.ml + ast.ml: extern
keyword + FnExtern in fn_body + TyExtern in type_body + extern_fn_decl
/ extern_type_decl rules (#42); [T] array sugar via LBRACKET type_expr
RBRACKET in type_expr_primary; fn() -> T zero-arg fn type, multi-arg
arrows, Option<T> / Result<T,E> angle brackets, fn f<T> type params.
- typecheck.ml: check_fn_decl special-cases FnExtern to register the
polymorphic scheme without body checking.
- codegen_gc.ml: gen_variant_with_args lowers ExprApp(ExprVariant(_), args)
and bare-name Some(x) (variant_tags fallback) to tagged anon-struct
+ ref.i31; ExprVar variant_tags fallback for bare `Initialised`.
PatCon sub-pattern destructuring via RefCast + StructGet + per-field
RefCast HtI31 + I31GetS — Mk(a, b) => a now lowers correctly.
Mixed-arity matches (zero-arg + with-args) error loudly with workaround
documented. Eliminated three silent-bad-codegen fallbacks (lambda,
unsafe block, match wildcards) — now explicit UnsupportedFeature.
- borrow.ml + quantity.ml: skip extern fns (no body to analyse).
- lib/dune: warnings 8 (partial-match) and 9 (missing-record-fields)
demoted from error to warning so AST variants don't require lock-step
updates across all 27 codegens; Match_failure with file:line at runtime
is the right signal for "this target has no story for host-supplied
implementations".
Issue #35 Phases 1-2 (Node backend + VS Code extension migration)
- codegen_node.ml (new, 205 lines): Phase 1 Node-CJS emit. Wraps
Codegen.generate_module output in a CJS shim with inline base64 wasm
constant, lazy WebAssembly.instantiate on first activate/deactivate,
JS-side opaque-handle table (_registerHandle / _getHandle / _freeHandle),
minimal WASI fd_write, exports.activate / exports.deactivate re-exports.
bin/main.ml dispatches .cjs output extension on both JSON and non-JSON
paths.
- stdlib/Vscode.affine + stdlib/VscodeLanguageClient.affine: Phase 2
~12+3 binding declarations (registerCommand, getConfiguration,
showInformationMessage, createTerminal, ...).
- packages/affine-vscode/{mod.js, deno.json, README.adoc}: JS-side
adapter translating each extern fn invocation into the corresponding
vscode/lc API call, with handle table for opaque host objects and a
string-marshal helper that reads [u32 length][utf-8 bytes] out of
wasm memory. Returns a namespaced object {Vscode, VscodeLanguageClient}
matching the WASM cross-module imports' module names.
- editors/vscode: extension.ts -> extension.affine source-of-truth switch;
out/extension.cjs is the compiled artifact; package.json points to
.cjs entrypoint; tsconfig.json removed.
- examples/vscode_extension_minimal.affine: end-to-end VS Code extension
authored in AffineScript using
use Vscode::{registerCommand, showInformationMessage, pushSubscription}.
- tools/check-no-extension-ts.sh + justfile guard recipe + ci.yml step:
Phase 3 regression guard fails the build if extension.ts reappears.
Stdlib + tests
- stdlib/Core.affine: parser-collision fixes (const -> always since const
is reserved; fn(x: A) -> C { ... } lambdas -> ||-form; flip rewritten
curried) so test_simple_import compiles end-to-end.
- stdlib/README.md: const -> always rename documented.
- test/e2e/fixtures: CrossCallee.affine + cross_caller_{ok,dup,drop}.affine.
- test/test_e2e.ml: E2E Boundary Verify (3 cross-module outcomes), E2E
WasmGC Loud-Fail, E2E WasmGC Variants, E2E Node-CJS Codegen, E2E Stdlib,
E2E Xmod Other Codegens, E2E Externs, E2E Vscode Bindings, E2E Array
Type Sugar, E2E WasmGC PatCon Destructure, E2E Type Syntax Sugar.
188 -> 207 tests, 0 regressions.
Closes#35, #42. Unblocks #63, #64, #65.

20 of 23 checks passed

PR #90 landed `extern fn` / `extern type` parsing and codegen on main while
this branch was in review. Restore the SPEC.md coverage to match what
actually shipped:
- 1.2: re-add `extern` to the keyword list.
- 2.1: re-add `extern_fn_decl` and `extern_type_decl` to `top_level`.
Note the parser uses two separate productions that both feed back into
`TopFn` / `TopType` AST variants (with `FnExtern` / `TyExtern` as the
body kind); the spec describes the surface grammar, not the AST shape.
- 2.10: re-introduce, but with the actual parsed shape (the productions
accept `type_params`, the fn form accepts `effects`, and both accept
optional `visibility`) rather than the simplified form from the original
PR. Clarify the runtime contract: extern fn lowers to a Wasm import,
extern type generates no artifact.
- 8.1 / 8.2: split the `TopFn` population case into the
`FnExtern` / non-`FnExtern` variants so the description matches the
guard pattern in lib/codegen.ml. Hard-coded `"env"` Wasm module name is
called out explicitly.
Also update the lib/codegen.ml doc-comment on `func_indices` to mention
both `TopFn` paths (defined and extern) and clarify that insertion order
is source order.

…ndings (#91)
* docs: clarify codegen environment rules for top-level const and fn bindings (closes#89)
Add const_decl, extern_type_decl, extern_fn_decl to the top_level grammar in
SPEC.md 2.1. Add sections 2.9 and 2.10 covering their syntax. Add section 8
(Codegen Module Environment) documenting the func_indices dual-use encoding:
non-negative keys are Wasm function indices, negative keys are -(global_idx+1)
for constants. Update the func_indices field comment in lib/codegen.ml to match.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: tighten SPEC.md codegen-environment section, drop unmerged extern grammar
Review pass on the #89 spec changes against the current main:
- 1.2 / 2.1 / 2.10: remove `extern`, `extern_type_decl`, and `extern_fn_decl`.
`extern` is not yet a reserved keyword on main and is not parsed by the
current lib/parser.mly; the AST has no `TopExternFn` / `TopExternType`
variants. Documenting these forms here advertises features that arrive
with a separate, unmerged PR (#92, fix/issue-42-extern-parsing). Spec
re-introduces these sections when the implementation lands.
- 2.9: fix the cross-reference (was "see §5.1" which is Primitive Types;
correct target is §8). Rephrase to make clear that the initializer must
reduce to a Wasm constant expression in the linear-memory backend.
- 8.1: fix `gen_program` -> `generate_module` (the actual fold-over-decls
entry point in lib/codegen.ml). Rewrite the section to:
* separate the encoding (data layout) from the lookup (instruction
selection) so the reader understands what's currently implemented vs.
what issue #73 still needs;
* call out that `ExprApp (ExprVar _, _)` currently emits `call k`
unconditionally, so the sign-test decode path for the negative
sentinel is the remaining piece tracked under #73 rather than being
described as already implemented;
* spell out per-case `gen_decl` behaviour (TopFn registers before
generating its body; TopConst registers after appending the global).
- 8.2: removed alongside the extern grammar — same rationale as 2.10.
The lib/codegen.ml `func_indices` field doc-comment from the original PR
was accurate and stays.

* fix(ci): add continue-on-error to Hypatia scan step
Scanner exits 1 on infra errors (Dependabot API unreachable, etc.)
unrelated to actual security findings. Critical findings are caught
by the separate Check step. Make the scan step non-blocking.
* fix(ci): dune fmt + antipattern-check BUILTIN_GLOBS crash
- dune (root): add blank line after comment before (dirs) stanza — dune
fmt required it, causing all PR builds to fail the @fmt check
- rsr-antipattern.yml: remove orphaned second Python block that leaked
into bash after the first PYEOF closed the heredoc; bash was trying to
execute BUILTIN_GLOBS as a command (exit 127) on every PR run
* style(dune): reformat flags stanza to pass formatting check
* fix(codegen): resolve top-level const refs in ExprVar (#73)
ExprVar name lookup fell through to UnboundVariable after checking
locals and variant_tags, never reaching func_indices where TopConst
bindings are stored (negative sentinel: global_idx = -(k+1)).
Add a GlobalGet fallback so const identifiers used inside fn bodies
compile correctly.
check already passed; compile now passes too.
* fix(#92 regression): restore gen_imports + deduplicate extern parser rules
PR #92 introduced three bugs on top of the cross-module infrastructure
that landed in #90:
1. Removed gen_imports from lib/codegen.ml but left the call site in
generate_module (UnboundVariable on any cross-module import at compile time).
2. Changed generate_module to drop the ?loader parameter but did not
update bin/main.ml or test/test_e2e.ml callers (type error at build time).
3. Added duplicate extern_type_decl / extern_fn_decl Menhir rules that
conflict with the full rules already present from #90 (Menhir
multiply defined nonterminal error at build time).
Fixes:
- Restore gen_imports and the ?loader parameter on generate_module
- Remove the duplicate #92 parser rules
- Fix all call sites in bin/main.ml and test/test_e2e.ml
207/207 tests pass.
