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.

A subscript types only when the base's surface form is already (¤ ...). An (* int) is not, so

(fn f ((p (* int))) int
  (var e _ (¤ p 0))
  (return e))

stops with cannot infer the type of. This is the other use named on decay.

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.

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.

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;
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:

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:

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 forms that reach this walk are &&, ||, |, &, <<, >>, ++. c-and and c-or are the names from before those spellings. The writer already emits a && b from (&& a b).

(var ok _ (&& a b)) and (var x _ (<< a b)) and (var x _ (++ a)) all stop with cannot infer the type of.

An array operand is returned as the array. decay in infer.scm is the conversion this comment describes, and nothing in the walk calls it.

(var a (¤ int 4) #(1 2 3 4))
(var p _ (+ a 1))

emits int p[4] = a + 1. cc: invalid initializer.

A subscript types only when the base's surface form is already (¤ ...). An (* int) is not, so

(fn f ((p (* int))) int
  (var e _ (¤ p 0))
  (return e))

stops with cannot infer the type of. This is the other use named on decay.

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.
