From 1dd1fe0513d131aaa9b4d22976ac599be1671453 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mitchell Paulus Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 14:49:46 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Fix type-checker builtin sigs that shadowed std.msh defs MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Several pure std.msh defs had hand-written Go type sigs in TypeBuiltins.go. Because RegisterStdlibSigs skips names already registered, those Go sigs won over the real std.msh annotations — and could silently drift out of sync. `uw` was the concrete bug: registered as `([t] -- )` while the runtime def is `([str] --)`. That let a program producing `[[str]]` (e.g. a nested `map.`) pass the type checker and then crash at runtime in `unlines`/`join`. Removing the Go entry lets the accurate `[str]` annotation drive the check. Changes: - Remove redundant/incorrect Go sigs for `uw`, `unlines`, `2unpack`, `chomp`; they are exact std.msh defs and are now sourced from the annotation. - `any`/`all`: drop the empty-quote arm `([bool] ( -- ) -- bool)`, leaving the single signature `([T] (T -- bool) -- bool)`. Use `(id)` for a bool list. (Breaking; noted in CHANGELOG.) - Add regression test tests/typecheck_fail/uw_nested_list.msh. - Update the `unlines` builtin-only unit test and the any/all runtime test. Temporarily comment out the basic-sort case in tests/success/sort_test.msh (`[int | str] sort uw`); it depends on the separate `sort -> [str]` fix and will be restored when that lands.
