# HERE SHALL THE DOCUMENTATION RESIDE

## Enforced Political Views

- worse is better
- less is more
- embrace `unsafe {}`
- adhere `macro_rules!`
- pessimization == death (put in `std::pin::Pin` and left with hungry crabs)
- importing external dependencies == death (`fn(dependencies) -> ExecutionStrategy`)
- above sell not be disputed, discussed, or questioned

## What hblang is

Holey-Bytes-Language (hblang for short) (*.hb) is the only true language targeting hbvm byte code. hblang is low level, manually managed, and procedural. Its rumored to be better then writing hbasm and you should probably use it for complex applications.

## What hblang isnt't

hblang knows what it isn't, because it knows what it is, hblang computes this by sub...

## Examples

Examples are also used in tests. To add an example that runs during testing add:
<pre>
#### &lt;name&gt
```hb
&lt;example&gt
```
</pre>
and also:
```rs
<name>;
```
to the `run_tests` macro at the bottom of the `src/son.rs`.

### Tour Examples

Following examples incrementally introduce language features and syntax.

```hb
main := fn(): uint {
	return 1
}
```

#### arithmetic
```hb
main := fn(): uint {
	return 10 - 20 / 2 + 4 * (2 + 2) - 4 * 4 + (1 << 0) + -1
}
```

#### floating_point_arithmetic
```hb
main := fn(): f32 {
	return 10. - 20. / 2. + 4. * (2. + 2.) - 4. * 4. + -1.

add_two := fn(x: uint): uint {
	return x + 2
}

add_one := fn(x: uint): uint {
	return x + 1
}
```

#### comments
```hb
// commant is an item
main := fn(): uint {
	// comment is a statement

	foo(/* comment is an exprression /* if you are crazy */ */)
	return 0
}

foo := fn(comment: void): void return /* comment evaluates to void */

// comments might be formatted in the future
```

#### if_statements

	}
}
```

}

main := fn(): uint {
	complex_global_var += 5

#### directives
```hb
foo := @use("foo.hb")

main := fn(): uint {
	byte := @as(u8, 10)
	same_type_as_byte := @as(@TypeOf(byte), 30)
	wide_uint := @as(u32, 40)
	truncated_uint := @as(u8, @intcast(wide_uint))
	widened_float := @as(f64, @floatcast(1.))
	int_from_float := @as(int, @fti(1.))
	float_from_int := @as(f64, @itf(@as(int, 1)))
	size_of_Type_in_bytes := @sizeof(foo.Type)
	align_of_Type_in_bytes := @alignof(foo.Type)
	hardcoded_pointer := @as(^u8, @bitcast(10))
	ecall_that_returns_uint := @as(uint, @eca(1, foo.Type.(10, 20), 5, 6))
	embedded_array := @as([u8; 15], @embed("text.txt"))

}

// in module: foo.hb

Type := struct {
	brah: uint,
	blah: uint,
}

foo := fn(): uint return 0

// in module: text.txt
arbitrary text
```

- `@use(<string>)`: imports a module based on relative path, cycles are allowed when importing
- `@TypeOf(<expr>)`: results into literal type of whatever the type of `<expr>` is, `<expr>` is not included in final binary
- `@as(<ty>, <expr>)`: hint to the compiler that  `@TypeOf(<expr>) == <ty>`
- `@intcast(<expr>)`: needs to be used when conversion of `@TypeOf(<expr>)` would loose precision (widening of integers is implicit)
- `@sizeof(<ty>), @alignof(<ty>)`: get size and align of a type in bytes
- `@bitcast(<expr>)`: tell compiler to assume `@TypeOf(<expr>)` is whatever is inferred, so long as size matches
- `@eca(...<expr>)`: invoke `eca` instruction, where return type is inferred and `<expr>...` are arguments passed to the call in the standard call convention
- `@embed(<string>)`: include relative file as an array of bytes
- `@inline(<func>, ...<args>)`: equivalent to `<func>(...<args>)` but function is guaranteed to inline, compiler will otherwise never inline

#### c_strings
```hb
str_len := fn(str: ^u8): uint {
	len := 0
	loop if *str == 0 break else {
		len += 1
		str += 1
	}
	return len
}

main := fn(): uint {
	// when string ends with '\0' its a C string and thus type is '^u8'
	some_str := "abඞ\n\r\t\{35}\{36373839}\0"
	len := str_len(some_str)
	some_other_str := "fff\0"
	lep := str_len(some_other_str)
	return lep + len
}
```

#### struct_patterns
```hb
.{fib, fib_iter, Fiber} := @use("fibs.hb")

main := fn(): uint {
	.{a, b} := Fiber.{a: 10, b: 10}
	return fib(a) - fib_iter(b)
}

// in module: fibs.hb

Fiber := struct {a: u8, b: u8}

fib := fn(n: uint): uint if n < 2 {
	return n
} else {
	return fib(n - 1) + fib(n - 2)
}

fib_iter := fn(n: uint): uint {
	a := 0
	b := 1
	loop if n == 0 break else {
		c := a + b
		a = b
		b = c
		n -= 1
	}
	return a
}
```

#### arrays
```hb
main := fn(): uint {
	addr := @as(u16, 0x1FF)
	msg := [u8].(0, 0, @intcast(addr), @intcast(addr >> 8))
	_force_stack := &msg

	arr := [uint].(1, 2, 4)
	return pass(&arr) + msg[3]
}

pass := fn(arr: ^[uint; 3]): uint {
	return arr[0] + arr[1] + arr[arr[1]]
}
```

#### inline
```hb
main := fn(): uint {
	return @inline(foo, 1, 2, 3) - 6
}

gb := 0

foo := fn(a: uint, b: uint, c: uint): uint {
	if false | gb != 0 return 1
	return a + b + c
}
```

#### idk
```hb
_edge_case := @as(uint, idk)

main := fn(): uint {
	big_array := @as([u8; 128], idk)
	i := 0
	loop if i >= 128 break else {
		big_array[i] = 69
		i += 1
	}
	return big_array[42]
}
```
note: this does not work on scalar values

#### generic_functions
```hb
add := fn($T: type, a: T, b: T): T return a + b

main := fn(): uint {
	return add(u32, 2, 2) - add(uint, 1, 3)
}
```

#### die
```hb
main := fn(): never {
	// simply emmits 'un' instruction that immediately terminates the execution
	// the expresion has similar properties to 'return' but does not accept a value
	die
}
```
