From ca30606aecdd2897e2949d0fa8d2f023717ca99c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brummel Date: Thu, 7 May 2026 22:07:05 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Iter 16b.3: post-typecheck lift for LetRec with Let-bound captures MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds path-2 from the 16b.2 planning entry. Desugar now defers LetRecs whose captures include Term::Let-bound names; a new ailang-check::lift_letrecs pass runs after typecheck and uses the elaborated env to resolve capture types. ailang-check learns a real Term::LetRec typing rule in synth and verify_tail_positions. - desugar: Term::LetRec arm gains a defer-arm; helpers promoted to pub for reuse by the lift pass; find_non_callee_use moved before classification. - ailang-check::synth/verify_tail_positions: real LetRec rules (effect-subset, locals install, recursive name in body+in_term). - ailang-check::lift.rs (new, 720 LOC): post-typecheck lift with post-order traversal, env-walk for capture-type resolution, fast-path skip when no LetRec is present. - ail::main.rs: build path now does load → check → desugar → lift_letrecs → codegen. - examples/local_rec_let_capture.{ailx,ail.json}: new fixture capturing a let-bound `threshold` in a recursive helper. - e2e + check unit tests: 106 → 110 (+4).
