Joseph Ferano 70af1966a2 Braces are no longer a type: (Map K V) is the only spelling
The author's decision, and it removes the one syntax question generics
had. A return type can no longer be written in braces, so a {...} after
the signature is unambiguously the constraint map and there is no
structural rule to explain.

The reasons for the record: the brace's value meaning and its type
meaning do not correspond the way the bracket's do - [1 2 3] is a value
whose type is [3 i32], but {.x 1} is a value whose type is a name, and a
map value is built by map-new with no braces anywhere - and dropping it
reserves {} in type position for anonymous struct types.

Braces in a type are refused with the surviving spelling named rather
than falling through to "expected a type". Types.to_string and
Cimport's source printer both print (Map K V) now, and Shim refuses the
application spelling where it used to refuse only Ast.Tmap.

(** [declare-c]: a foreign function written in the C library's own terms, with
the crossing generated rather than hand-written.
[declare] says "this Flan signature *is* the C signature" — the symbol it
names already trades in scalars and ptr+len, because somebody wrote it that
way ([flan_agent_start], [sqrtf], the runtime's own shims). That form is
unchanged and this module never touches one.
[declare-c] says the other thing: the signature is the *library's*, structs
by value and all, and the compiler is to produce whatever flattening makes
it crossable. The two cannot be one form —
[(declare start-raw [path string] i32 "flan_agent_start")] and
[(declare-c init-window [w i32 h i32 title string] "InitWindow")] are the
same shape and mean opposite things about who NUL-terminates the string.
Why the crossing is still C, and not [emit.ml]: a small aggregate's calling
convention is a per-target *classification*, not part of its layout.
x86-64 hands [Vector2] over as [<2 x float>] and returns [Rectangle] as
[{i64,i64}]; arm64 and wasm32 each do something else. Reproducing that in
the backend is three classifiers to keep correct forever, and a mistake
reads as a field full of garbage rather than as a link error. clang already
does it, per target, for free. So the C shim stays; what stops is writing
it by hand.
What this module does with one [declare-c]:
- emits a C [typedef] for every struct in the signature, from the Flan
[defstruct], transitively and once each;
- emits an [extern] prototype for the real function, in its true signature;
- emits a wrapper that flattens — a struct returns through an out-pointer,
a struct argument goes by pointer, a Flan string arrives as ptr+len and
the wrapper NUL-terminates a copy;
- and rewrites the declaration into the flattened [declare] the Flan side
calls, with an ordinary Flan [defn] above it carrying the nice signature.
{2 What is guaranteed and what is trusted}
Guaranteed: the C typedef and the Flan struct come from the same
[defstruct], so they cannot disagree — permute the [defstruct] and the
typedef permutes with it. And clang type-checks the wrapper against the
[extern] prototype, so the flattening cannot disagree with the prototype.
Padding is not a separate hazard, which is worth saying because it reads
like one. For every field type this generator admits — the machine
integers, the two floats, [bool], a pointer and a nested struct — LLVM's
struct layout is C's, and [emit.ml] writes no datalayout, so clang applies
the target's own rules to both halves and they land in the same place.
Everything where the two could diverge — a fixed array, a slice, an
[Option], a map, a union — is refused at the field, by name.
Trusted: that the [defstruct] describes the library's real struct, and that
the [declare-c] signature is the function's real signature. No library
header is read — deliberately, so a build needs the shared library and not
the -devel package — so nothing here can check either. Two consequences
worth stating plainly:
- the prototype is now generated *from the declaration*, so a scalar's
width carries ABI weight it did not before. [f64] where the library says
[float] used to be narrowed by clang at the hand-written call site; now
it emits [double] and the library reads garbage.
- the only thing that catches a wrong [defstruct] is a test that makes the
library *compute* with the fields — which is why the raylib acceptance
cases pin layouts by arithmetic and go red when a [defstruct] is
permuted.
A [_Static_assert] on [sizeof] and [offsetof] was considered and left out:
both sides of it would come from the same field list, so it would check
this module's arithmetic against clang's and say nothing about the library.
What converts the trusted half into a checked one is reading the real
header, and that is built: [Cimport] asks clang for a JSON dump of one
and compares both halves against it — every [defstruct] against the
header's record, and every [declare-c] against the header's signature.
Nothing in this module changed for it. The refusals below still raise,
which is right for a signature a human named; the importer makes the
same judgements and merely skips instead, since one returned
[const char *] must not kill a header of five hundred functions. *)

truncated past it. A generator has no call site to look at, so it must not
be the thing deciding a string is too long: what does not fit the stack
buffer is copied to the heap and freed after the call. The stack buffer is
what keeps that allocation-free in the overwhelmingly common case, and it is
