Finch 2.4.0: methods, maps, errors as values; str() of any value; macOS and ARM64 docs; Kate support

- fn Struct.method(...) with self by reference, also on C structs
- map[K]V: insertion-ordered hash maps, literals, m[k] += 1, has/get/remove/keys/values
- -> T! / -> !, return error(...), or <value>, or { err }, try; fallible int/float/read_file/write_file/delete_file
- for i, x in list / for k, v in map
- print and str() share one text formatter
- LSP: method and map completion, method signatures; grammar and snippets for VS Code and Kate
- tests: 74 (methods, errors, maps + 11 failure cases); docs at all three levels, en and pl

- **Safer than C, where it is cheap.** No silent narrowing and no signed/unsigned mixing. Out-of-range
indexes, division by zero and null pointers stop with a clear runtime error instead of undefined behavior.
Operator precedence that does not bite (`x & 1 == 0` means what it says).
- **Practical.** Maps, methods, errors as values (`int(s) or 0`, `try read_file(p)`), modules, any C
library, and a language server for your editor. Runs on Linux, macOS and Windows, on x86-64 and ARM64.

If you also want to know *where* you are in the list, give `for` two names: the first one counts

### Looking things up by name: maps
A list finds things by their place: `fruits[0]`. Sometimes you want to find things by a **name**
instead, like looking up a word in a dictionary, or a phone number in a phone book.
That's a **map**: each **key** (the name) has a **value**:
```c
fn main() {
phone := ["Ola": "555-1234", "Jan": "555-9876"]
print(phone["Ola"]) // 555-1234
phone["Ewa"] = "555-0000" // add a new name
print(phone.len) // 3
if phone.has("Tom") {
print("Tom is here")
} else {
print("no Tom")
}
for name, number in phone { // every name with its number
print(name, number)
}
}
```
- `["key": value, ...]` makes a map. Keys are often text, but numbers work too.
- `phone["Ola"]` gets the value for a key. Asking for a key that isn't there stops the program,
so check first with `phone.has("Tom")`, or use `phone.get("Tom", "unknown")`.
- `for name, number in phone` visits every key with its value, in the order you added them.
Maps are great for **counting**. A new key starts at 0, so `+= 1` just works:
```c
fn main() {
map[str]int votes // an empty map: text keys, whole-number values
for v in ["cat", "dog", "cat", "cat", "fish"] {
votes[v] += 1
}
print(votes) // {"cat": 3, "dog": 1, "fish": 1}
}

A struct can have its own commands. Write the struct's name, a dot, and the command's name.
Inside, `self` is the struct the command was used on:
```c
struct Player {
str name
int lives = 3
}
fn Player.hit() {
self.lives -= 1
print(self.name, "has", self.lives, "lives left")
}
fn Player.is_alive() -> bool {
return self.lives > 0
}
fn main() {
p := Player(name: "Ola")
p.hit() // Ola has 2 lives left
p.hit() // Ola has 1 lives left
print(p.is_alive()) // true
}
```
`p.hit()` changes `p` itself, so after two hits `p.lives` really is 1.

| `index 5 is out of range (the length is 3)` | You asked a list for a place it doesn't have | Remember counting starts at 0; check `.len` |
| `can't turn "abc" into int` | `int(...)` got text that isn't a number | Check what the person typed |
| `can't use '+' on str and int` | Text plus a number | Use `str(...)` on the number |
| `'f' can fail, so say what happens then` | You used a command that can fail without saying what to do | Add `or ...` (see below) |
### Things that can fail: `or` and `try`
Some things can go wrong *while the program runs*: the person types `abc` where you wanted a number,
or a file isn't there. Instead of stopping the program, you can say what to do then, with **`or`**:
```c
fn main() {
age := int(input("Your age? ")) or 0 // not a number? use 0
print("Next year you'll be", age + 1)
note := read_file("note.txt") or "(no note yet)"
print(note)
}
```
`or` can also be followed by a block. Inside it, `err` is the message that says what went wrong:
```c
fn main() {
while true {
n := int(input("Pick a number: ")) or {
print("That's not a number, try again")
continue
}
print("You picked", n)
break
}
}
```
Your own functions can fail too. Put `!` after the result type, and use `return error("...")`:
```c
fn safe_divide(int a, int b) -> int! {
if b == 0 {
return error("can't divide by zero")
}
return a / b
}
fn main() {
print(safe_divide(10, 2) or -1) // 5
print(safe_divide(10, 0) or -1) // -1
}
```
Finch won't let you forget: calling `safe_divide(10, 0)` without `or` is an error that tells you
to handle it. (You can also pass the problem on with `try`; the
[guide for technicians](for-technicians.md#errors-as-values) explains it.)

`str` with its length, `%p`), separated by spaces, then `\n`. Arrays, fixed arrays and structs call

`print` emits `printf` per scalar argument with a format chosen by type (`%lld`, `%llu`, `%g`, `%c`,
`%.*s` for `str` with its length), separated by spaces, then `\n`. Everything else (pointers, arrays,
fixed arrays, maps, structs) is first **formatted** into a heap `str` buffer by `emitFormat()` and
printed with `finch_buf_print`. Composite types get a generated helper `finch.format.<key>(buf, value*)`
that appends `[1, 2]` / `{"a": 1}` / `Point(x: 1, y: 2)`, quoting strings and chars inside. `str(x)` of
an array, map or struct runs the same helper, so `str(x)` is always what `print(x)` shows.
### 10.9 Array and str methods
@ -549,6 +579,65 @@ Arrays: `push` (`finch_arr_reserve` + store + len++), `pop`/`remove` (move out,
(swap loop), `sort` (libc `qsort` with a generated comparator `finch.cmp.<key>`), `join` (runtime).
Methods that change the array require an address (a variable/field/element).
Strings: `sub find contains starts_with ends_with split trim upper lower replace repeat bytes`, all in the runtime.
`for i, x in list` adds a read-only `int` index variable next to the element.
### 10.10 Methods
`fn Point.move(int dx)` is declared like a function named `finch.[module.]Point.move` with a leading
`ptr` parameter and stored in `Codegen::methods[StructInfo*]` (so methods follow the struct into every
module that uses it, and C structs can have methods too). In `define()`, `self` is a `Var` whose `slot`
**is that pointer argument**: `self.x` is a GEP from the caller's own struct, and `self = …` writes the
caller's value. No copy happens, ever.
At a call `obj.m(args)` (`structMethod()`), `ref(obj)` gives an address when `obj` is a place (a variable,
field, element, `m[key]`), the loaded pointer for a `ptr[T]` (null-checked), or a stack temporary for a
value (`Point(1, 2).length()`), which is dropped after the call. Two safety rules come from the mutation
analysis: a method that changes `self` can't be called on a read-only loop variable, and if such a method
is given an argument that lives inside the receiver (`c.merge(c)`, `p.add(p.items)`), the argument is
copied first, so `self` can't free memory the argument still points to.
### 10.11 Errors as values
A fallible function (`-> T!`) returns `{ i1 ok, T value, str error }`; on failure `value` is zero, so the
caller never has to drop it. `return v` wraps `{1, v, zero}` (`retValue()`); `return error(msg)` evaluates
the message, runs the cleanups and returns `{0, zero, msg}` (`retError()`).
Calling a fallible function is only allowed as the operand of `or` / `try`. `fallible(call)` sets
`fallibleTarget` to the call expression; `callFinch()` (and the fallible built-ins) compare their own
`CallExpr`/`MethodExpr` against it, and if it matches, leave `fallibleFailed` (`i1`) and `fallibleMsg`
(`str`) for the caller; if a fallible call doesn't match, it's the compile error *'f' can fail, so say what
happens then*. Nested handlers save and restore the three fields.
| Form | Lowering |
|---|---|
| `f(x) or fallback` | `br failed, or.failed, or.ok`; the failed block drops the message and evaluates the fallback (only there); a φ joins the two values |
| `f(x) or { … }` | the failed block declares `err` (owning the message) and runs the block. If the value is used, the block must end in a terminator; as a statement it may fall through, and the success path releases the unused value |
| `try f(x)` | the failed block runs `emitCleanups(0)` and returns `{0, zero, msg}` from the current function, which must be fallible |
Built-ins with a failure mode check `&call == fallibleTarget` and switch to `finch_str_try_int`,
`finch_str_try_float`, `finch_try_read_file`, `finch_try_write_file`, `finch_try_delete_file`, which
return 1 / 0 and fill an error `str` instead of panicking. The cost on success is one predictable branch;
nothing is allocated unless a failure happens.
### 10.12 Maps
The runtime (§12) keeps an insertion-ordered hash table, in the style of CPython's `dict`: an `entries`
array of `{ i64 hash, K key, V value }` slots in insertion order (hash 0 = removed), plus an `index` of
`icap` slots (power of two, ≥ 2 × cap) with linear probing (−1 empty, −2 removed, else an entry number).
The runtime only hashes (FNV-1a + a 64-bit mix; text keys by content, others by bytes), finds and places
entries; the compiler stores, copies and drops keys and values, exactly like array elements.
| Code | Lowering |
|---|---|
| `m[k]` read | `finch_map_find`; −1 → `finch_map_missing` (noreturn, with the key as text); else a place at `entry.value` |
| `m[k]` write (`=`, `+=`, a changing method, `addr`) | `mapSlot()`: `finch_map_slot` returns the entry, adding it if missing; a new entry gets a copy of the key and the value type's default |
| `["a": 1, …]` | a zeroed map + `mapSlot` per entry (the first entry decides the types; number values are all `float` if one has a dot) |
| `has`, `get`, `remove`, `clear`, `keys`, `values` | `codegen_map.cpp`; `get`'s default is evaluated only when the key is missing |
| `for k, v in m` | a loop over `0..used` that skips removed slots, re-reading `entries` and `used` every round |
| copy / drop / format | helpers like arrays': `finch_map_clone_raw` then deep copies of owning keys and values; drop each live entry, then `finch_map_free` |
Removing marks the slot (and the index entry) removed; slots are packed when the table would grow while
at least a quarter of them are removed. Removing the last key resets the table.

`classify()` mirrors clang's AArch64 lowering:
- A **homogeneous floating-point aggregate** (1–4 members, all `float` or all `double`, nested structs
and arrays flattened) goes in vector registers: passed as `[n x float]` / `[n x double]`, returned as
`{ float, … }`. On Linux the argument also gets `alignstack(8)`, as clang does; Apple doesn't.
- Any other struct of up to 16 bytes goes in general registers: `i64` (≤ 8 bytes) or `[2 x i64]`
(`i128` if its alignment is 16); it is returned as an integer of its exact size or `[2 x i64]`.
- Bigger structs are **Indirect**: a copy on the caller's stack, passed by address (no `byval`); returned
through `sret`.
- There is no register counting: the backend places each part.
- C's plain `char` is **unsigned** on ARM64 Linux and signed on Apple and x86, which matters for the
sign/zero extension of `char` arguments and results (`charIsSigned()`).
- Apple passes the variadic part of `printf(...)` on the stack; LLVM does that from the `...` in the
function type.

GCC) under QEMU, and CI runs it natively on ARM64 Linux and Apple Silicon.

## 2. Installing
Finch runs on **Linux and Windows, x86-64**, and is built with **LLVM 21**.
Finch runs on **Linux** (x86-64 and ARM64), **macOS** (Apple Silicon and Intel) and **Windows** (x86-64),
and is built with **LLVM 21**. Each [release](https://github.com/Nexoniarz/Finch/releases) has a ready
`finch` for Windows, Linux x86-64, Linux ARM64 and macOS ARM64.
### Windows
@ -76,8 +78,30 @@ Finch runs on **Linux and Windows, x86-64**, and is built with **LLVM 21**.
Programs are normal `.exe` files. To build from source on Windows instead, follow `.github/workflows/ci.yml`
(Visual Studio 2022 + the `clang+llvm-21.x-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` package from LLVM's releases).
### macOS
```sh
brew install llvm@21 # Finch's LLVM; programs are linked with Apple's clang
```
Then either unpack **`finch-macos-arm64.tar.gz`** from the releases (it uses Homebrew's `llvm@21`),
or build it yourself (Xcode command line tools: `xcode-select --install`):
```sh
git clone https://github.com/Nexoniarz/Finch.git && cd Finch
cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLLVM_DIR="$(brew --prefix llvm@21)/lib/cmake/llvm"
ninja -C build
./build/finch version
```
Apple frameworks link with `link "Cocoa.framework"` (`-framework Cocoa`), and their headers import as usual:
`import "OpenGL/gl.h"`.
### Linux
The ready `finch-linux-x64.tar.gz` / `finch-linux-arm64.tar.gz` need LLVM 21's libraries
(Debian/Ubuntu: `libllvm21 libclang1-21` from [apt.llvm.org](https://apt.llvm.org)) and a C compiler (`cc`).
Building it yourself works the same on x86-64 and ARM64 (Raspberry Pi 4/5, Graviton, …).
Other LLVM versions will likely fail to compile, because LLVM's C++ API changes between releases.

### Maps
A `map[K]V` finds values by a key. Keys can be whole numbers, `char`, `bool` or `str`; values can be
anything (arrays, structs, other maps). Iterating goes in the order the keys were first added.
```c
ages := ["anna": 31, "bob": 25] // a map literal: map[str]int
map[str][]str groups // an empty map
map[int]str names = [:] // [:] is an empty map where the type is known
```
| Operation | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `m[k]` | the value for `k`; a missing key stops the program with `the key "k" is not in the map` |
| `m[k] = v` | add or replace |
| `m[k] += 1`, `m[k].push(x)`, `m[k].field = …` | changing a missing key adds it first, with the value type's default (0, `""`, `[]`, …) |
| `m.len` | the number of keys |
| `m.has(k)` | is `k` there? |
| `m.get(k, default)` | the value, or `default` (only computed when needed) |
| `m.remove(k)` | removes `k`; `true` if it was there |
| `m.clear()` | removes everything |
| `m.keys()`, `m.values()` | new arrays, in insertion order |
| `print(m)`, `str(m)` | `{"anna": 31, "bob": 25}` |
```c
map[str]int counts
for word in text.split(" ") {
counts[word] += 1 // counting: a new word starts at 0
}
for word, n in counts {
print(word, n)
}
```
Lookups are hash-based (average constant time). Like arrays, maps own their keys and values,
copy on assignment, and are freed at the end of their block. Don't add or remove keys of a map
inside a `for` over that same map; collect them in an array and change the map after the loop.

- Assigning or passing a struct copies it, together with its arrays and text.
- A struct can't contain itself directly; use `ptr[Node]` or `[]Node` for that field (trees, lists).
- Structs have no methods. Write functions that take the struct: `fn heal(Player p) -> Player`.
### Methods
A method is a function that belongs to a struct: `fn Struct.name(...)`. Inside, `self` is the struct
it was called on, and it is the caller's value itself, not a copy: changes to `self` stay.
```c
fn Player.heal(int amount) {
self.lives += amount
}
fn Player.is_alive() -> bool {
return self.lives > 0
}
p := Player(name: "Ola")
p.heal(2) // p.lives is now 5
if p.is_alive() { ... }
team[0].heal(1) // on an array element, a field, m[key], through a ptr[Player] ...
```
- A method goes in the same file (module) as its struct, and is available wherever the struct is.
- Methods can also be added to **structs from C headers**: `fn Vector2.length() -> f32 { ... }`.
- A method can't have the name of a field.
- Calling a method that changes `self` on a loop variable (`for p in team { p.heal(1) }`) is an error,
because the loop variable is read-only; use `for i in 0..team.len { team[i].heal(1) }`.
- Like functions, methods can fail (`-> !`); see [Errors as values](#errors-as-values).

## 18. Errors
### Errors as values
Some failures are normal: the user types `abc`, a file is missing. Finch handles them without
exceptions and without hidden control flow. A function that can fail says so with `!` after its result
type, and fails with `return error("message")`:
```c
fn parse_port(str text) -> int! {
n := int(text) or { return error("'" + text + "' is not a number") }
if n < 1 || n > 65535 {
return error("port " + str(n) + " is out of range")
}
return n
}
fn save(str path, str text) -> ! { // can fail, gives back nothing
try write_file(path, text)
}
```
The caller **must** handle the failure, in one of three ways (forgetting is a compile error):
| Code | On failure |
|---|---|
| `port := parse_port(s) or 8080` | use this value instead (it's only computed on failure; it can be another call with `or`) |
| `port := parse_port(s) or { print(err); return }` | run the block; `err` is the message (a `str`). The block must leave (`return`, `break`, `continue`, `exit`) unless the result isn't used. |
| `port := try parse_port(s)` | fail the current function with the same error (it must be fallible too) |
```c
fn load(str path) -> Config! {
text := try read_file(path)
port := try parse_port(text.trim())
return Config(port: port)
}
fn main() -> ! { // main can fail too: the error is printed, and the exit code is 1
config := try load("app.conf")
...
}
```
Built-ins that can fail work the same way: `int(text)`, `float(text)`, `read_file`, `write_file`,
`delete_file`. Without `or` / `try` they behave as before (`int("x")` stops the program,
`write_file` gives back a `bool`).
Under the hood a fallible function returns its value plus a flag and the message: no allocation on
success, no unwinding, and the cost of a failure is building its message.

## 19. Editors: VS Code, Kate and others
Every editor feature comes from the same language server, `finch lsp`, which uses the real compiler:
errors as you type, types and docs on hover, go to definition, completion (fields, methods, map and array
methods after `.`, module members, names from C headers), the file's outline, and parameter hints.
### Kate (and KWrite, KDevelop)
```sh
editors/kate/install.sh
```
It installs the highlighting (`~/.local/share/org.kde.syntax-highlighting/syntax/finch.xml`) and adds `finch`
to Kate's LSP client settings, keeping your other servers. Restart Kate and enable the **LSP Client** plugin.
To run programs, add `finch run %f` as a target in the **Build & Run** plugin; Finch's
`file:line:column: error:` messages are then clickable. Details: `editors/kate/README.md`.

Finch 2.0 is a complete small language, but not a finished one. Not there yet:
Not there yet:
- Methods on structs, generics, maps/dictionaries, `match`. (Use arrays of structs and functions.)
- Error values: errors in `int("x")` or `read_file` stop the program. Check first (`file_exists`).
- Generics (your own `List[T]`), interfaces, `match`, enums written in Finch.
- Unicode-aware text: `.len`, `s[i]` and `upper()` work on bytes / ASCII.
- Threads.
- Platforms other than Linux and Windows on x86-64 (macOS, ARM).
- Windows on ARM64, 32-bit systems, WebAssembly.

Metody zmieniające tablicę wymagają adresu (zmienna/pole/element).
Teksty: `sub find contains starts_with ends_with split trim upper lower replace repeat bytes`, wszystkie w runtime.
`for i, x in lista` dodaje obok elementu zmienną-indeks typu `int` tylko do odczytu.
### 10.10 Metody
`fn Punkt.przesun(int dx)` jest deklarowana jak funkcja `finch.[modul.]Punkt.przesun` z dodatkowym
pierwszym parametrem `ptr` i trzymana w `Codegen::methods[StructInfo*]` (więc metody idą za strukturą do
każdego modułu, który jej używa, a struktury z C też mogą mieć metody). W `define()` `self` to `Var`, którego
`slot` **jest tym argumentem-wskaźnikiem**: `self.x` to GEP od struktury samego wywołującego, a `self = …`
zapisuje wartość wywołującego. Nigdy nie ma kopii.
Przy wywołaniu `obj.m(args)` (`structMethod()`) `ref(obj)` daje adres, gdy `obj` jest miejscem (zmienna,
pole, element, `m[klucz]`), wczytany wskaźnik dla `ptr[T]` (sprawdzany na null) albo tymczasowe miejsce na
stosie dla wartości (`Punkt(1, 2).dlugosc()`), zwalniane po wywołaniu. Z analizy modyfikacji wynikają dwie
reguły bezpieczeństwa: metody zmieniającej `self` nie można wywołać na zmiennej pętli (tylko do odczytu),
a jeśli taka metoda dostaje argument żyjący wewnątrz odbiorcy (`c.merge(c)`, `p.add(p.items)`), argument
jest najpierw kopiowany, żeby `self` nie mógł zwolnić pamięci, na którą argument wciąż wskazuje.
### 10.11 Błędy jako wartości
Funkcja, która może się nie udać (`-> T!`), zwraca `{ i1 ok, T value, str error }`; przy porażce `value`
jest zerem, więc wywołujący nigdy nie musi go zwalniać. `return v` opakowuje `{1, v, zero}` (`retValue()`);
`return error(msg)` liczy komunikat, wykonuje sprzątanie i zwraca `{0, zero, msg}` (`retError()`).
Wywołanie takiej funkcji jest dozwolone tylko jako argument `or` / `try`. `fallible(wywołanie)` ustawia
`fallibleTarget` na wyrażenie wywołania; `callFinch()` (i funkcje wbudowane, które mogą się nie udać)
porównują z nim swoje `CallExpr`/`MethodExpr` i jeśli pasuje, zostawiają `fallibleFailed` (`i1`)
i `fallibleMsg` (`str`) dla wywołującego; jeśli wywołanie takiej funkcji nie pasuje, to błąd kompilacji
*'f' can fail, so say what happens then*. Zagnieżdżone obsługi zapisują i przywracają te trzy pola.
| Forma | Tłumaczenie |
|---|---|
| `f(x) or zapasowa` | `br failed, or.failed, or.ok`; blok porażki zwalnia komunikat i liczy wartość zapasową (tylko tam); φ łączy obie wartości |
| `f(x) or { … }` | blok porażki deklaruje `err` (właściciel komunikatu) i wykonuje blok. Jeśli wartość jest używana, blok musi kończyć się skokiem; jako instrukcja może przejść dalej, a ścieżka sukcesu zwalnia nieużytą wartość |
| `try f(x)` | blok porażki wykonuje `emitCleanups(0)` i zwraca `{0, zero, msg}` z bieżącej funkcji, która też musi móc się nie udać |
Funkcje wbudowane z trybem porażki sprawdzają `&wywołanie == fallibleTarget` i przełączają się na
`finch_str_try_int`, `finch_str_try_float`, `finch_try_read_file`, `finch_try_write_file`,
`finch_try_delete_file`, które zwracają 1 / 0 i wypełniają `str` z błędem zamiast robić panic. Koszt przy
sukcesie to jedna przewidywalna gałąź; nic nie jest alokowane, dopóki nie zdarzy się porażka.
### 10.12 Mapy
Runtime (§12) trzyma tablicę haszującą zachowującą kolejność wstawiania, w stylu `dict` z CPythona:
tablica `entries` z miejscami `{ i64 hash, K key, V value }` w kolejności wstawiania (hash 0 = usunięte)
oraz `index` z `icap` miejscami (potęga dwójki, ≥ 2 × cap) z sondowaniem liniowym (−1 puste, −2 usunięte,
w innym razie numer wpisu). Runtime tylko haszuje (FNV-1a + 64-bitowe mieszanie; klucze tekstowe po treści,
pozostałe po bajtach), znajduje i umieszcza wpisy; kompilator zapisuje, kopiuje i zwalnia klucze i wartości,
dokładnie tak jak elementy tablic.
| Kod | Tłumaczenie |
|---|---|
| odczyt `m[k]` | `finch_map_find`; −1 → `finch_map_missing` (noreturn, z kluczem jako tekst); w innym razie miejsce `entry.value` |

| `["a": 1, …]` | wyzerowana mapa + `mapSlot` dla każdego wpisu (pierwszy wpis ustala typy; liczbowe wartości są wszystkie `float`, jeśli któraś ma kropkę) |
| `has`, `get`, `remove`, `clear`, `keys`, `values` | `codegen_map.cpp`; wartość domyślna `get` jest liczona tylko wtedy, gdy klucza brak |
| `for k, v in m` | pętla po `0..used` pomijająca usunięte miejsca, wczytująca `entries` i `used` w każdym obrocie |
| kopia / zwolnienie / tekst | helpery jak dla tablic: `finch_map_clone_raw`, a potem głębokie kopie posiadających kluczy i wartości; zwolnienie każdego żywego wpisu, potem `finch_map_free` |
Usunięcie oznacza miejsce (i wpis w indeksie) jako usunięte; miejsca są upychane, gdy tablica miałaby
urosnąć, a co najmniej ćwierć z nich jest usunięta. Usunięcie ostatniego klucza resetuje tablicę.

zagnieżdżone struktury i tablice spłaszczone) idzie w rejestrach wektorowych: przekazywany jako
`[n x float]` / `[n x double]`, zwracany jako `{ float, … }`. Na Linuksie argument dostaje też
`alignstack(8)`, tak jak u clanga; Apple tego nie robi.
- Każda inna struktura do 16 bajtów idzie w rejestrach ogólnych: `i64` (≤ 8 bajtów) albo `[2 x i64]`
(`i128`, jeśli jej wyrównanie to 16); zwracana jest jako liczba całkowita dokładnie jej rozmiaru albo `[2 x i64]`.
- Większe struktury są **pośrednie (Indirect)**: kopia na stosie wywołującego, przekazana przez adres
(bez `byval`); zwracane przez `sret`.
- Nie ma liczenia rejestrów: każdą część rozmieszcza backend.
- Zwykły `char` w C jest **bez znaku** na Linuksie ARM64, a ze znakiem na Apple i x86, co ma znaczenie przy
rozszerzaniu argumentów i wyników typu `char` (`charIsSigned()`).
- Apple przekazuje zmienną część `printf(...)` przez stos; LLVM robi to na podstawie `...` w typie funkcji.

### Szukanie po nazwie: mapy
Lista znajduje rzeczy po miejscu: `owoce[0]`. Czasem chcesz znaleźć coś po **nazwie**, tak jak
słowo w słowniku albo numer w książce telefonicznej. Do tego służy **mapa** (`map`): każdy
**klucz** (nazwa) ma swoją **wartość**:
```c
fn main() {
telefon := ["Ola": "555-1234", "Jan": "555-9876"]
print(telefon["Ola"]) // 555-1234
telefon["Ewa"] = "555-0000" // nowa osoba
print(telefon.len) // 3
if telefon.has("Tomek") {
print("Tomek jest")
} else {
print("nie ma Tomka")
}
for imie, numer in telefon { // każde imię z jego numerem
print(imie, numer)
}
}
```
- `["klucz": wartość, ...]` tworzy mapę. Klucze to zwykle tekst, ale mogą być też liczby.
- `telefon["Ola"]` daje wartość dla klucza. Pytanie o klucz, którego nie ma, zatrzymuje program,
więc najpierw sprawdź `telefon.has("Tomek")` (czy ma) albo użyj `telefon.get("Tomek", "nie wiem")`.
- `for imie, numer in telefon` odwiedza każdy klucz z wartością, w kolejności dodawania.
Mapy świetnie nadają się do **liczenia**. Nowy klucz zaczyna od 0, więc `+= 1` po prostu działa:
```c
fn main() {
map[str]int glosy // pusta mapa: klucze to tekst, wartości to liczby
for g in ["kot", "pies", "kot", "kot", "rybka"] {
glosy[g] += 1
}
print(glosy) // {"kot": 3, "pies": 1, "rybka": 1}
}

g.trafiony() // Ola ma jeszcze 2 życia

| `'f' can fail, so say what happens then` | Użyłeś polecenia, które może się nie udać, i nie napisałeś, co wtedy | Dopisz `or ...` (niżej) |
### Rzeczy, które mogą się nie udać: `or` i `try`
Niektóre rzeczy mogą pójść źle *w trakcie działania programu*: ktoś wpisze `abc` zamiast liczby
albo pliku nie ma. Zamiast zatrzymywać program, możesz powiedzieć, co wtedy zrobić, słowem **`or`** („albo”):
```c
fn main() {
wiek := int(input("Ile masz lat? ")) or 0 // to nie liczba? weź 0
print("Za rok będziesz mieć", wiek + 1)
notatka := read_file("notatka.txt") or "(jeszcze brak notatki)"
print(notatka)
}
```
Po `or` może też być blok. W środku `err` to komunikat, co poszło nie tak:
```c
fn main() {
while true {
n := int(input("Podaj liczbę: ")) or {
print("To nie jest liczba, spróbuj jeszcze raz")
continue
}
print("Wybrałeś", n)
break
}
}
```
Twoje własne funkcje też mogą się nie udać. Dopisz `!` po typie wyniku i użyj `return error("...")`:
```c
fn bezpieczne_dzielenie(int a, int b) -> int! {
if b == 0 {
return error("nie można dzielić przez zero")
}
return a / b
}
fn main() {
print(bezpieczne_dzielenie(10, 2) or -1) // 5
print(bezpieczne_dzielenie(10, 0) or -1) // -1
}
```
Finch nie pozwoli ci zapomnieć: wywołanie `bezpieczne_dzielenie(10, 0)` bez `or` to błąd, który
przypomina, żeby to obsłużyć. (Można też przekazać problem dalej przez `try`; wyjaśnia to
[przewodnik dla techników](dla-technikow.md#błędy-jako-wartości).)

Programy to zwykłe pliki `.exe`. Żeby zbudować Fincha ze źródeł na Windowsie, idź za `.github/workflows/ci.yml`
(Visual Studio 2022 + pakiet `clang+llvm-21.x-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` z wydań LLVM).
### macOS
```sh
brew install llvm@21 # LLVM dla Fincha; programy linkuje clang od Apple
```
Potem rozpakuj **`finch-macos-arm64.tar.gz`** z wydań (korzysta z `llvm@21` z Homebrew)
albo zbuduj go sam (narzędzia wiersza poleceń Xcode: `xcode-select --install`):
```sh

cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DLLVM_DIR="$(brew --prefix llvm@21)/lib/cmake/llvm"
ninja -C build
./build/finch version
```
Frameworki Apple linkuje się przez `link "Cocoa.framework"` (`-framework Cocoa`), a ich nagłówki importuje
się normalnie: `import "OpenGL/gl.h"`.
### Linux
Gotowe `finch-linux-x64.tar.gz` / `finch-linux-arm64.tar.gz` potrzebują bibliotek LLVM 21
(Debian/Ubuntu: `libllvm21 libclang1-21` z [apt.llvm.org](https://apt.llvm.org)) i kompilatora C (`cc`).
Samodzielne budowanie wygląda tak samo na x86-64 i ARM64 (Raspberry Pi 4/5, Graviton, …).
Z innymi wersjami LLVM Finch prawdopodobnie się nie skompiluje, bo API C++ LLVM zmienia się między wydaniami.

### Mapy
`map[K]V` znajduje wartości po kluczu. Kluczem może być liczba całkowita, `char`, `bool` albo `str`;
wartością cokolwiek (tablice, struktury, inne mapy). Przechodzenie pętlą idzie w kolejności, w jakiej
klucze zostały dodane po raz pierwszy.
```c
wiek := ["anna": 31, "bob": 25] // literał mapy: map[str]int
map[str][]str grupy // pusta mapa
map[int]str nazwy = [:] // [:] to pusta mapa tam, gdzie typ jest znany
```
| Operacja | Znaczenie |
|---|---|
| `m[k]` | wartość dla `k`; brak klucza zatrzymuje program komunikatem `the key "k" is not in the map` |
| `m[k] = v` | dodaj albo zastąp |
| `m[k] += 1`, `m[k].push(x)`, `m[k].pole = …` | zmiana brakującego klucza najpierw go dodaje, z wartością domyślną typu (0, `""`, `[]`, …) |
| `m.len` | liczba kluczy |
| `m.has(k)` | czy `k` jest w mapie? |
| `m.get(k, domyslna)` | wartość albo `domyslna` (liczona tylko w razie potrzeby) |
| `m.remove(k)` | usuwa `k`; `true`, jeśli był |
| `m.clear()` | usuwa wszystko |
| `m.keys()`, `m.values()` | nowe tablice, w kolejności dodawania |
| `print(m)`, `str(m)` | `{"anna": 31, "bob": 25}` |
```c
map[str]int ile
for slowo in tekst.split(" ") {
ile[slowo] += 1 // liczenie: nowe słowo zaczyna od 0
}
for slowo, n in ile {
print(slowo, n)
}
```
Wyszukiwanie używa haszowania (średnio stały czas). Tak jak tablice, mapy są właścicielami kluczy
i wartości, kopiują się przy przypisaniu i zwalniają na końcu bloku. Nie dodawaj ani nie usuwaj kluczy
mapy wewnątrz `for` po tej samej mapie; zbierz je do tablicy i zmień mapę po pętli.

- Metoda nie może nazywać się tak jak pole.
- Wywołanie metody zmieniającej `self` na zmiennej pętli (`for g in druzyna { g.wylecz(1) }`) to błąd,
bo zmienna pętli jest tylko do odczytu; użyj `for i in 0..druzyna.len { druzyna[i].wylecz(1) }`.

## 18. Błędy
### Błędy jako wartości
Niektóre porażki są normalne: użytkownik wpisze `abc`, pliku nie ma. Finch obsługuje je bez wyjątków
i bez ukrytych skoków. Funkcja, która może się nie udać, mówi to znakiem `!` po typie wyniku i kończy się
porażką przez `return error("komunikat")`:
```c
fn port_z_tekstu(str tekst) -> int! {
n := int(tekst) or { return error("'" + tekst + "' to nie liczba") }
if n < 1 || n > 65535 {
return error("port " + str(n) + " jest poza zakresem")
}
return n
}
fn zapisz(str sciezka, str tekst) -> ! { // może się nie udać, nic nie oddaje
try write_file(sciezka, tekst)
}
```
Wywołujący **musi** obsłużyć porażkę, na jeden z trzech sposobów (zapomnienie to błąd kompilacji):
| Kod | W razie porażki |
|---|---|
| `port := port_z_tekstu(s) or 8080` | użyj tej wartości (liczonej tylko przy porażce; może to być kolejne wywołanie z `or`) |
| `port := port_z_tekstu(s) or { print(err); return }` | wykonaj blok; `err` to komunikat (`str`). Blok musi wyjść (`return`, `break`, `continue`, `exit`), chyba że wynik nie jest używany. |
| `port := try port_z_tekstu(s)` | zakończ bieżącą funkcję tym samym błędem (musi też móc się nie udać) |
```c
fn wczytaj(str sciezka) -> Konfig! {
tekst := try read_file(sciezka)
port := try port_z_tekstu(tekst.trim())
return Konfig(port: port)
}
fn main() -> ! { // main też może się nie udać: błąd zostanie wypisany, a kod wyjścia to 1
konfig := try wczytaj("app.conf")
...
}
```
Funkcje wbudowane, które mogą się nie udać, działają tak samo: `int(tekst)`, `float(tekst)`, `read_file`,
`write_file`, `delete_file`. Bez `or` / `try` zachowują się jak wcześniej (`int("x")` zatrzymuje program,
`write_file` oddaje `bool`).
Pod spodem funkcja, która może się nie udać, zwraca wartość z flagą i komunikatem: bez alokacji przy
sukcesie, bez zwijania stosu, a porażka kosztuje tyle, co zbudowanie komunikatu.

- Błędów jako wartości: błąd w `int("x")` albo `read_file` zatrzymuje program. Sprawdzaj wcześniej (`file_exists`).
- Typów generycznych (własnego `Lista[T]`), interfejsów, `match`, enumów pisanych w Finchu.
- Tekstu świadomego Unicode: `.len`, `s[i]` i `upper()` działają na bajtach / ASCII.
- Wątków.
- Platform innych niż Linux i Windows na x86-64 (macOS, ARM).
- Windowsa na ARM64, systemów 32-bitowych, WebAssembly.
