v0.75.0 — the madc::value intrinsic + value-first <ns_madc>
Release v0.75.0 — 2026-08-09
madc::value is now a first-class script intrinsic: value, var, and
qualified madc::value work with zero includes in the default dialect,
and the whole madc:: API surface is typed in it — the value-first
<ns_madc> drops its #include <string>, so madc::-only scripts
compile at the millisecond floor (the exec-channel sort script: 15ms
packed, down from ~130ms). Two long-latent compiler defects the work
uncovered ship fixed in the same release.
value/var/madc::value— spellings of the one intrinsic
DataDef (canonicalmadc::value);arrayunchanged (a madc::array IS
a madc::value carrying an array).vardeclares the runtime-retaggable
dynamic carrier (contrast compile-timeauto). Bare spellings are
--std=madc-only; qualifiedmadc::valueworks in every mode.- Scalar surface on the intrinsic — native
operator=family
(cstr/int/real/bool/value),c_str(), printf%scoercion, and the
channelreadline/readall/writevalue carriers. - Value-first
<ns_madc>— primary API invalue+const char*
(value-out eval twins with_ctxscope-capture siblings,const char*
context keys);std::stringoverloads become conveniences declared
exactly when<string>precedes<ns_madc>(auto-include orders it
correctly for include-free scripts). - No-viable method overloads against
valueparameters now diagnose
([over.match.viable]) instead of silently compiling the by-name arity
pick with the wrong parameter class (a rawstd::string*passed as
madc::value*). - Method default arguments work —
[required..total]arity plus
call-site filling from the selected overload; previously they survived
overload selection only via the silent fallback and then failed in
c2mir. - Use-after-free fixed in the file-lane tokenizer — token file
pointers are interned; libmadc's temp-source eval no longer leaves the
lazy JIT build reading freed memory (valgrind-clean). - Suite grows to 1017 integration tests (JIT, EXE, OBJ, release,
packed all 0-failure) and 1013/0 on the libc++ flavor lane.
