When the ranks tie this keeps the left operand, so the declared type depends on the order of the source.

With n a size-t (an unparsed name, rank 1, same as int):

int m1 = 1 + n;
size_t m2 = n + 1;

cc accepts both. C types 1 + n as size_t, and the int declaration narrows. The same tie makes (+ i u) an int and (+ u i) an unsigned int. char + char is declared char.

size-t never reaches the long rank because it is not a typedef Sex has parsed, so the strlen example's (+ 1 n) lands here.

walk-parts walks the type as well as the initializer. A list whose head is an in-scope closure is rewritten as a closure call, including a parameter name inside a fn type.

(var c (closure ((int)) int) (make-adder 1))
(var fp (fn ((c int)) int) (lambda ((c int)) int (return c)))

-m shows (var fp (fn ((ƛint_int_call c int)) int) ...), and the C is int (*fp)(c int). With no closure named c, the same declaration emits int (*fp)(int).

The callee is typed before it is walked, so a closure literal has no type yet and falls through to convert-arguments. After the walk the form is a call of the constructor:

return ƛ0_f_make()(5);

cc: called object is not a function or function pointer. ((lambda ((x int)) int (return x)) 5) works, because the lifted function is registered before the call is typed. ((make-adder 20) 22) works, because the callee is already a call with a closure return type.

When the ranks tie this keeps the left operand, so the declared type depends on the order of the source.

With n a size-t (an unparsed name, rank 1, same as int):

int m1 = 1 + n;
size_t m2 = n + 1;

cc accepts both. C types 1 + n as size_t, and the int declaration narrows. The same tie makes (+ i u) an int and (+ u i) an unsigned int. char + char is declared char.

size-t never reaches the long rank because it is not a typedef Sex has parsed, so the strlen example's (+ 1 n) lands here.

The callee is typed before it is walked, so a closure literal has no type yet and falls through to convert-arguments. After the walk the form is a call of the constructor:

When the ranks tie this keeps the left operand, so the declared type depends on the order of the source.

With n a size-t (an unparsed name, rank 1, same as int):

int m1 = 1 + n;

cc accepts both. C types 1 + n as size_t, and the int declaration narrows. The same tie makes (+ i u) an int and (+ u i) an unsigned int. char + char is declared char.

size-t never reaches the long rank because it is not a typedef Sex has parsed, so the strlen example's (+ 1 n) lands here.

When the ranks tie this keeps the left operand, so the declared type depends on the order of the source.

With n a size-t (an unparsed name, rank 1, same as int):

int m1 = 1 + n;
size_t m2 = n + 1;

cc accepts both. C types 1 + n as size_t, and the int declaration narrows. The same tie makes (+ i u) an int and (+ u i) an unsigned int. char + char is declared char.

size-t never reaches the long rank because it is not a typedef Sex has parsed, so the strlen example's (+ 1 n) lands here.

The callee is typed before it is walked, so a closure literal has no type yet and falls through to convert-arguments. After the walk the form is a call of the constructor:

cc: called object is not a function or function pointer. ((lambda ((x int)) int (return x)) 5) works, because the lifted function is registered before the call is typed. ((make-adder 20) 22) works, because the callee is already a call with a closure return type.

When the ranks tie this keeps the left operand, so the declared type depends on the order of the source.

With n a size-t (an unparsed name, rank 1, same as int):

int m1 = 1 + n;
size_t m2 = n + 1;

cc accepts both. C types 1 + n as size_t, and the int declaration narrows. The same tie makes (+ i u) an int and (+ u i) an unsigned int. char + char is declared char.

size-t never reaches the long rank because it is not a typedef Sex has parsed, so the strlen example's (+ 1 n) lands here.

When the ranks tie this keeps the left operand, so the declared type depends on the order of the source.

With n a size-t (an unparsed name, rank 1, same as int):

int m1 = 1 + n;
size_t m2 = n + 1;

cc accepts both. C types 1 + n as size_t, and the int declaration narrows. The same tie makes (+ i u) an int and (+ u i) an unsigned int. char + char is declared char.

size-t never reaches the long rank because it is not a typedef Sex has parsed, so the strlen example's (+ 1 n) lands here.

The callee is typed before it is walked, so a closure literal has no type yet and falls through to convert-arguments. After the walk the form is a call of the constructor:

cc: called object is not a function or function pointer. ((lambda ((x int)) int (return x)) 5) works, because the lifted function is registered before the call is typed. ((make-adder 20) 22) works, because the callee is already a call with a closure return type.

When the ranks tie this keeps the left operand, so the declared type depends on the order of the source.

With n a size-t (an unparsed name, rank 1, same as int):

int m1 = 1 + n;
size_t m2 = n + 1;

cc accepts both. C types 1 + n as size_t, and the int declaration narrows. The same tie makes (+ i u) an int and (+ u i) an unsigned int. char + char is declared char.

size-t never reaches the long rank because it is not a typedef Sex has parsed, so the strlen example's (+ 1 n) lands here.

With n a size-t (an unparsed name, rank 1, same as int):

The callee is typed before it is walked, so a closure literal has no type yet and falls through to convert-arguments. After the walk the form is a call of the constructor:

resolve-closure-types runs here and resolve-wildcard does not. (var n _ 1) at toplevel emits static _ n = 1. cc: unknown type name '_'. The same form inside a function becomes int n = 1.

`resolve-closure-types` runs here and `resolve-wildcard` does not. `(var n _ 1)` at toplevel emits `static _ n = 1`. `cc`: `unknown type name '_'`. The same form inside a function becomes `int n = 1`.

walk-parts walks the type as well as the initializer. A list whose head is an in-scope closure is rewritten as a closure call, including a parameter name inside a fn type.

(var c (closure ((int)) int) (make-adder 1))
(var fp (fn ((c int)) int) (lambda ((c int)) int (return c)))

-m shows (var fp (fn ((ƛint_int_call c int)) int) ...), and the C is int (*fp)(c int). With no closure named c, the same declaration emits int (*fp)(int).

Review

The callee is typed before it is walked, so a closure literal has no type yet and falls through to convert-arguments. After the walk the form is a call of the constructor:

return ƛ0_f_make()(5);

cc: called object is not a function or function pointer. ((lambda ((x int)) int (return x)) 5) works, because the lifted function is registered before the call is typed. ((make-adder 20) 22) works, because the callee is already a call with a closure return type.
