v0.15.2 - Enum Error Values

Enum Error Values

This release adds proper enum value support in @error() - enum values are now resolved at compile time for optimal code generation.

Key Feature

enum MathError { None, DivByZero, Overflow }

fun safe_divide?(a: u8, b: u8) -> u8 ? MathError {
    if b == 0 {
        @error(MathError.DivByZero);  // Proper enum syntax!
    }
    return a;
}

Generated Z80 Assembly

LD A, 1       ; Error code (MathError.DivByZero = 1)
SCF           ; Set carry flag (error indicator)
RET           ; Return with error

Changes

• @error(EnumType.Variant) resolves enum values at compile time
• Fixed codegen to handle Imm=0 correctly (e.g., MathError.None)
• Updated examples and README with proper enum syntax

Before vs After

// Before (v0.15.1) - works but uses magic numbers
@error(1);

// After (v0.15.2) - proper enum syntax!
@error(MathError.DivByZero);

Metrics

• Compilation rate: 81% (48/59 examples)
• No regressions

Full Changelog: v0.15.1...v0.15.2

v0.15.1 - Error Propagation Milestone

Error Propagation Milestone

This release marks a significant milestone: the @error(code) metafunction is now fully working!

Key Features

• @error(code) metafunction - Sets CY flag and returns with error code
• Proper Z80 code generation - Generates SCF (Set Carry Flag) instruction
• CY flag + A register ABI - Complete error handling ABI

Example

enum FileError { None, NotFound, Permission }

fun read_file?(path: u8) -> u8 ? FileError {
    if path == 0 {
        @error(1);  // FileError.NotFound - sets CY flag
    }
    return path;
}

Generated Z80 Assembly

LD A, D          ; Load error code
SCF              ; Set carry flag (error indicator)
RET              ; Return with error

Metrics

• Compilation rate: 81% (48/59 examples)
• No regressions from previous release

Documentation

• Error Propagation Milestone Report
• Claims Verification Report

What's Next

• Enum value access (ErrorType.Value syntax)
• ?? @error propagation syntax cleanup
• Type inference for ?-suffixed function calls
