s := 0
L x:arr { s += x }
s
}

Test Coverage
This project uses cargo-llvm-cov to measure test coverage. Coverage reports are generated automatically in the CI pipeline.
Local Coverage Measurement
To generate coverage reports locally:
# Install cargo-tarpaulin (one-time setup)
cargo install cargo-tarpaulin
# Generate coverage reports (HTML and Lcov)
cargo tarpaulin --config tarpaulin.toml
# Or use the convenience alias
cargo coverage
# Generate HTML report only
cargo coverage-html
# Generate Lcov format for CI integration
cargo coverage-lcov
Coverage reports are saved to target/coverage/:
index.html- Interactive HTML coverage reportlcov.info- Lcov format for codecov integration
CI Integration
Coverage is measured automatically on every push and pull request to main and develop branches. Reports are:
- Uploaded as GitHub Actions artifacts
- Sent to Codecov for tracking trends
- Available for 30 days in the CI artifacts
Usage

Installation
Prerequisites
- Rust toolchain (for building the compiler)
- LLVM (for code generation)
- Clang (for compiling generated LLVM IR)
Building from Source
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/vaislang/vais.git
cd vais
# Build the compiler
cargo build --release
# The compiler will be available at:
./target/release/vaisc
Verify Installation
./target/release/vaisc --version
# Should output: Vais 0.0.1
Hello World
Let's write your first Vais program!
Create a file hello.vais:
# Hello World example
F main()->i64 {
puts("Hello, Vais!")
0
}
Compile and run:
./target/release/vaisc hello.vais
./hello
Output:
Hello, Vais!
Understanding the code:
F- Keyword for function definitionmain- Entry point function name()->i64- Function signature: no parameters, returns i64puts("Hello, Vais!")- Print a string0- Return value (convention: 0 for success)
Variables and Types
Type-Inferred Variables
Use := for automatic type inference:
F main()->i64 {
x := 10 # i64 inferred
y := 3.14 # f64 inferred
name := "Alice" # str inferred
flag := true # bool inferred
puts("Variables declared!")
0
}
Explicit Types
Specify types explicitly with ::
F main()->i64 {
x: i64 = 100
y: f64 = 2.5
count: i32 = 42
puts("Typed variables declared!")
0
}
Primitive Types
Integers:
a: i8 = 127 # 8-bit signed
b: i16 = 32000 # 16-bit signed
c: i32 = 1000000 # 32-bit signed
d: i64 = 999999999 # 64-bit signed
ua: u8 = 255 # 8-bit unsigned
ub: u32 = 4294967295 # 32-bit unsigned
Floating-point:
x: f32 = 3.14 # 32-bit float
y: f64 = 2.718281828 # 64-bit float
Boolean:
is_ready := true
is_done := false
Using Variables
F main()->i64 {
x := 10
y := 20
sum := x + y
puts("Sum calculated!")
0
}
Functions
Simple Functions
Expression form (single expression):
F add(a:i64, b:i64)->i64 = a + b
F square(x:i64)->i64 = x * x
F max(a:i64, b:i64)->i64 = a > b ? a : b
Block form (multiple statements):
F greet(name: str)->i64 {
puts("Hello, ")
puts(name)
puts("!")
0
}
Function Parameters
# Multiple parameters with different types
F calculate(x: i64, y: f64, multiplier: i64) -> f64 {
result := x * multiplier
result * y
}
Calling Functions
F main()->i64 {
sum := add(10, 20)
squared := square(5)
maximum := max(100, 200)
puts("Functions called!")
0
}
Self-Recursion with @
The @ operator calls the current function recursively:
# Fibonacci using self-recursion
F fib(n:i64)->i64 = n<2 ? n : @(n-1) + @(n-2)
# Factorial
F factorial(n:i64)->i64 = n<2 ? 1 : n * @(n-1)
# Countdown
F countdown(n:i64)->i64 {
I n <= 0 {
puts("Done!")
0
} E {
puts("Counting...")
@(n-1)
}
}
Why use @?
- More concise than writing the function name
- Fewer tokens for AI code generation
- Clear indicator of recursion
Control Flow
If-Else Expressions
Ternary form (single expression):
F abs(x:i64)->i64 = x < 0 ? -x : x
F sign(x:i64)->i64 = x < 0 ? -1 : x > 0 ? 1 : 0
Block form:
F classify(x:i64)->str {
I x < 0 {
"negative"
} E I x == 0 {
"zero"
} E {
"positive"
}
}
Note: E is used for "else". Context determines whether E means "enum" or "else".
Loops
Infinite loop:
F loop_forever()->i64 {
L {
puts("Looping...")
# Need break condition
}
0
}
Range loop:
F count_to_ten()->i64 {
L i: 0..10 {
puts("Number: ")
print_i64(i)
putchar(10)
}
0
}
With break and continue:
F find_first_even()->i64 {
L i: 0..100 {
I i % 2 == 0 {
puts("Found even number:")
print_i64(i)
B # Break
}
C # Continue
}
0
}
Early Return
F validate(x: i64)->i64 {
I x < 0 {
puts("Error: negative value")
R -1 # Early return
}
I x == 0 {
puts("Error: zero value")
R -1
}
# Process valid value
puts("Valid!")
x * 2
}
Structs and Enums
Defining Structs
S Point {
x: f64,
y: f64
}
S Person {
name: str,
age: i64
}
S Rectangle {
top_left: Point,
bottom_right: Point
}
Creating Struct Instances
F main()->i64 {
# Create a Point
p := Point { x: 10.0, y: 20.0 }
# Create a Person
person := Person { name: "Bob", age: 25 }
# Nested structs
rect := Rectangle {
top_left: Point { x: 0.0, y: 10.0 },
bottom_right: Point { x: 10.0, y: 0.0 }
}
0
}
Accessing Fields
F main()->i64 {
p := Point { x: 5.0, y: 15.0 }
x_coord := p.x
y_coord := p.y
puts("Point coordinates:")
print_f64(x_coord)
print_f64(y_coord)
0
}
Defining Enums
Simple enum:
E Color {
Red,
Green,
Blue
}
Enum with data:
E Option {
None,
Some(i64)
}
E Result {
Ok(i64),
Err(str)
}
E Message {
Quit,
Move(i64, i64),
Write(str)
}
Using Enums
F main()->i64 {
color := Red
opt := Some(42)
result := Ok(100)
msg := Move(10, 20)
puts("Enums created!")
0
}
Pattern Matching
Pattern matching with M (match) is powerful for working with enums and values.
Basic Match
F describe_number(n: i64)->str {
M n {
0 => "zero",
1 => "one",
2 => "two",
_ => "other" # Wildcard: matches everything else
}
}
Match with Binding
Extract values from matched patterns:
E Option {
None,
Some(i64)
}
F unwrap_or(opt: Option, default: i64) -> i64 {
M opt {
Some(x) => x, # Bind value to 'x'
None => default
}
}
F main()->i64 {
opt1 := Some(42)
opt2 := None
v1 := unwrap_or(opt1, 0) # Returns 42
v2 := unwrap_or(opt2, 99) # Returns 99
print_i64(v1)
print_i64(v2)
0
}
Match with Result Types
E Result {
Ok(i64),
Err(str)
}
F handle_result(res: Result) -> i64 {
M res {
Ok(value) => value,
Err(msg) => {
puts("Error: ")
puts(msg)
0
}
}
}
Complete Example
E Color {
Red,
Green,
Blue
}
F color_to_code(c: Color) -> i64 {
M c {
Red => 0xFF0000,
Green => 0x00FF00,
Blue => 0x0000FF
}
}
F main()->i64 {
red_code := color_to_code(Red)
green_code := color_to_code(Green)
puts("Color codes calculated!")
0
}
Traits and Methods
Defining Traits
Traits define interfaces that types can implement:
W Printable {
F print(&self) -> i64
}
W Comparable {
F compare(&self, other: &Self) -> i64
}
Implementing Traits
S Counter {
value: i64
}
# Implement Printable trait for Counter
X Counter: Printable {
F print(&self) -> i64 {
puts("Counter value: ")
print_i64(self.value)
putchar(10)
0
}
}
Adding Methods
Add methods without traits using X:
X Counter {
F increment(&self) -> i64 {
self.value + 1
}
F double(&self) -> i64 {
self.value * 2
}
F reset() -> Counter {
Counter { value: 0 }
}
}
Using Methods
F main()->i64 {
c := Counter { value: 10 }
# Call trait method
c.print()
# Call impl methods
inc := c.increment()
dbl := c.double()
puts("Incremented: ")
print_i64(inc)
puts("Doubled: ")
print_i64(dbl)
0
}
Complete Example
W Shape {
F area(&self) -> f64
}
S Circle {
radius: f64
}
S Rectangle {
width: f64,
height: f64
}
X Circle: Shape {
F area(&self) -> f64 {
pi := 3.14159
pi * self.radius * self.radius
}
}
X Rectangle: Shape {
F area(&self) -> f64 {
self.width * self.height
}
}
F main()->i64 {
circle := Circle { radius: 5.0 }
rect := Rectangle { width: 4.0, height: 6.0 }
circle_area := circle.area()
rect_area := rect.area()
puts("Circle area: ")
print_f64(circle_area)
puts("Rectangle area: ")
print_f64(rect_area)
0
}
Generics
Generics allow you to write code that works with multiple types.
Generic Functions
F identity<T>(x: T) -> T = x
F first<T>(a: T, b: T) -> T = a
F swap<A, B>(a: A, b: B) -> (B, A) {
(b, a)
}
Generic Structs
S Pair<T> {
first: T,
second: T
}
S Box<T> {
value: T
}
S Container<K, V> {
key: K,
value: V
}
Using Generic Structs
F main()->i64 {
# Pair of integers
int_pair := Pair { first: 10, second: 20 }
# Pair of floats
float_pair := Pair { first: 1.5, second: 2.5 }
# Container with different types
container := Container { key: 1, value: "hello" }
0
}
Methods on Generic Types
S Pair<T> {
first: T,
second: T
}
X Pair {
F sum(&self) -> i64 {
self.first + self.second
}
F swap(&self) -> Pair {
Pair { first: self.second, second: self.first }
}
}
F main()->i64 {
p := Pair { first: 10, second: 20 }
total := p.sum()
swapped := p.swap()
print_i64(total) # 30
0
}
Generic Enums
E Option<T> {
None,
Some(T)
}
E Result<T, E> {
Ok(T),
Err(E)
}
F main()->i64 {
# Option of i64
opt_int := Some(42)
# Option of str
opt_str := Some("hello")
# Result with i64 value and str error
result := Ok(100)
0
}
Standard Library Basics
Using the Math Library
U std/math
F main()->i64 {
# Constants
pi := PI
e := E
# Basic math
x := abs(-10.0) # Absolute value
min_val := min(5.0, 10.0)
max_val := max(5.0, 10.0)
# Advanced math
root := sqrt(16.0) # Square root: 4.0
power := pow(2.0, 8.0) # 2^8 = 256.0
# Trigonometry
sine := sin(PI / 2.0) # sin(90°) = 1.0
cosine := cos(0.0) # cos(0°) = 1.0
# Logarithms
natural_log := log(E) # ln(e) = 1.0
log_base_10 := log10(100.0) # 2.0
print_f64(root)
0
}
Using the IO Library
U std/io
F main()->i64 {
# Read an integer
puts("Enter a number: ")
num := read_i64()
puts("You entered: ")
print_i64(num)
putchar(10)
# Read a float
puts("Enter a decimal: ")
decimal := read_f64()
puts("You entered: ")
print_f64(decimal)
putchar(10)
# Prompt functions
age := prompt_i64("Enter your age: ")
height := prompt_f64("Enter your height: ")
puts("Age: ")
print_i64(age)
puts("Height: ")
print_f64(height)
0
}
Using Option and Result
U std/option
U std/result
F divide(a: i64, b: i64) -> Option {
I b == 0 {
None
} E {
Some(a / b)
}
}
F main()->i64 {
result := divide(10, 2)
value := result.unwrap_or(0) # Returns 5
error_result := divide(10, 0)
default_value := error_result.unwrap_or(-1) # Returns -1
print_i64(value)
print_i64(default_value)
0
}
Async Programming
Vais supports async/await for concurrent programming.
Defining Async Functions
# Mark function as async with 'A'
A F compute(x: i64) -> i64 {
x * 2
}
A F fetch_data(id: i64) -> str {
# Simulate async operation
"Data loaded"
}
Awaiting Async Functions
F main()->i64 {
# Call async function and await the result
result := compute(21).await
puts("Result: ")
print_i64(result) # 42
# Chain async calls
data := fetch_data(1).await
puts(data)
0
}
Spawning Concurrent Tasks
A F task1() -> i64 {
puts("Task 1 running")
100
}
A F task2() -> i64 {
puts("Task 2 running")
200
}
F main()->i64 {
# Spawn tasks to run concurrently
t1 := spawn task1()
t2 := spawn task2()
# Await results
r1 := t1.await
r2 := t2.await
total := r1 + r2
print_i64(total) # 300
0
}

빌트인 함수
Vais 컴파일러가 제공하는 내장 함수입니다:
| 함수 | 설명 | 예시 |
|---|---|---|
swap(ptr, i, j) | 배열 요소 교환 | swap(arr, 0, 2) |
sizeof(expr) | 표현식 크기 (바이트) | sizeof(x) |
type_size<T>() | 타입 T의 크기 | type_size<i64>() |
store_byte(ptr, offset, val) | 바이트 저장 | store_byte(buf, 0, 65) |
load_byte(ptr, offset) | 바이트 로드 | load_byte(buf, 0) |
puts(msg) | 문자열 출력 + 줄바꿈 | puts("hello") |
putchar(c) | 문자 출력 | putchar(65) |
println(msg) | 문자열 출력 + 줄바꿈 | println("hello") |
swap — 배열 요소 교환
swap(ptr, idx1, idx2) 빌트인으로 배열 요소를 교환할 수 있습니다:
F main() {
arr: *i64 = [10, 20, 30]
swap(arr, 0, 2) # arr[0]과 arr[2] 교환
# arr = [30, 20, 10]
println("~{load_i64(arr + 0 * 8)}") # 30
}

Troubleshooting
LSP Server Not Starting
-
Check if server is built:
ls -la target/release/vais-lsp -
Check if server is in PATH:
which vais-lsp -
Run server manually to check for errors:
vais-lsp 2>&1 | head -20
Syntax Highlighting Not Working
- Verify file extension: Must be
.vais - Check filetype detection:
- Neovim:
:set ft?should showvais - Emacs:
M-x describe-modeshould showVais
- Neovim:
- Reload syntax files after installation
Completion Not Triggering
- Verify LSP is connected:
- Neovim:
:LspInfo - VS Code: Check status bar
- Emacs:
M-x lsp-describe-session
- Neovim:
- Check trigger characters:
.and:trigger completion - Manual trigger: Use Ctrl+Space or your editor's completion key
Performance Issues
- Large files: LSP may be slow on files >10,000 lines
- Enable incremental sync if available
- Check for excessive logging: Disable trace/verbose modes

{
type = 'vais',
request = 'launch',
name = 'Debug Vais Program',
program = '${file}',
stopOnEntry = true,
autoCompile = true,
}
}
Emacs Debugging
With dap-mode:
(require 'dap-mode)
(dap-register-debug-template
"Vais Debug"
(list :type "vais"
:request "launch"
:name "Debug Vais"
:program nil ; Will prompt for file
:stopOnEntry t
:autoCompile t))
;; Or use dap-debug directly
(defun vais-debug ()
"Debug current Vais file."
(interactive)
(dap-debug
(list :type "vais"
:request "launch"
:name "Debug"
:program (buffer-file-name)
:stopOnEntry t
:autoCompile t)))

Tutorial: CLI Tool 만들기
이 튜토리얼에서는 Vais로 텍스트 파일의 줄 수, 단어 수, 바이트 수를 세는 CLI 도구 vwc (Vais Word Count)를 만듭니다. Unix의 wc 명령어의 간단한 버전입니다.
최종 결과
$ vaisc run examples/tutorial_wc.vais
=== Vais Word Count (vwc) ===
Lines: 15
Words: 42
Bytes: 256
사전 준비
- Vais 설치 완료 (
vaisc --version으로 확인) - 텍스트 에디터 (VSCode + Vais 확장 추천)
Step 1: 프로젝트 뼈대 (5분)
tutorial_wc.vais 파일을 만들고 기본 구조를 작성합니다:
# vwc — Vais Word Count
# 텍스트 파일의 줄/단어/바이트를 센다
F main() -> i64 {
puts("=== Vais Word Count (vwc) ===")
0
}
컴파일 및 실행:
vaisc run tutorial_wc.vais
핵심 개념: Vais에서 F는 함수 선언 키워드입니다. main() 함수는 프로그램 진입점이며, 반환 타입을 생략하면 암시적으로 i64를 반환합니다.
Step 2: 결과를 담을 구조체 (10분)
카운트 결과를 저장할 구조체를 정의합니다:
# 카운트 결과를 저장하는 구조체
S WcResult {
lines: i64
words: i64
bytes: i64
}
# 메서드 정의
X WcResult {
F new() -> WcResult {
R WcResult { lines: 0, words: 0, bytes: 0 }
}
F print(&self) {
puts("Lines: ~{self.lines}")
puts("Words: ~{self.words}")
puts("Bytes: ~{self.bytes}")
}
}
핵심 개념:
S는 구조체(struct) 선언 키워드X는 impl 블록 (메서드 정의)&self는 해당 구조체의 불변 참조~{expr}는 문자열 보간 (string interpolation)R은 return 키워드
Step 3: 바이트 카운팅 함수 (10분)
입력 텍스트의 바이트 수를 세는 함수를 작성합니다:
N "C" {
F strlen(s: str) -> i64
}
F count_bytes(text: str) -> i64 {
R strlen(text)
}
핵심 개념:
N "C"는 extern 블록으로, C 표준 라이브러리 함수를 호출합니다- Vais는 LLVM 백엔드를 사용하므로 C 함수를 직접 호출할 수 있습니다
Step 4: 줄 수 세기 (10분)
문자열을 순회하며 줄바꿈 문자(\n, ASCII 10)를 세는 함수입니다:
F count_lines(text: str, len: i64) -> i64 {
count := mut 0
L i:0..len {
byte := load_byte(text, i)
I byte == 10 {
count = count + 1
}
}
# 마지막 줄이 줄바꿈으로 끝나지 않는 경우
I len > 0 {
last := load_byte(text, len - 1)
I last != 10 {
count = count + 1
}
}
count
}
핵심 개념:
L i:0..len은 범위 루프 (0부터 len-1까지)load_byte(ptr, offset)는 메모리에서 바이트를 읽는 빌트인 함수I는 if, 10은 줄바꿈 문자의 ASCII 코드mut는 가변 변수 선언
Step 5: 단어 수 세기 (15분)
공백, 탭, 줄바꿈을 구분자로 사용하여 단어를 셉니다:
F is_whitespace(b: i64) -> i64 {
# 공백(32), 탭(9), 줄바꿈(10), 캐리지 리턴(13)
I b == 32 { R 1 }
I b == 9 { R 1 }
I b == 10 { R 1 }
I b == 13 { R 1 }
0
}
F count_words(text: str, len: i64) -> i64 {
count := mut 0
in_word := mut 0
L i:0..len {
byte := load_byte(text, i)
I is_whitespace(byte) == 1 {
I in_word == 1 {
count = count + 1
in_word = 0
}
} E {
in_word = 1
}
}
# 마지막 단어 처리
I in_word == 1 {
count = count + 1
}
count
}
핵심 개념:
E는 else 키워드- 상태 머신 패턴:
in_word플래그로 단어 경계를 추적 - Vais의
bool은0/1정수로 처리됩니다 (i64 기반)
Step 6: 전체 조합 (10분)
모든 함수를 조합하여 완성합니다:
F analyze(text: str) -> WcResult {
len := strlen(text)
R WcResult {
lines: count_lines(text, len),
words: count_words(text, len),
bytes: len
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
puts("=== Vais Word Count (vwc) ===")
# 테스트 텍스트
text := "Hello Vais World\nThis is line two\nAnd line three\n"
result := analyze(text)
result.print()
0
}
Step 7: 복수 텍스트 처리 (10분)
여러 텍스트를 처리하고 합계를 구하는 기능을 추가합니다:
F add_results(a: WcResult, b: WcResult) -> WcResult {
R WcResult {
lines: a.lines + b.lines,
words: a.words + b.words,
bytes: a.bytes + b.bytes
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
puts("=== Vais Word Count (vwc) ===")
text1 := "Hello Vais World\nThis is a test\n"
text2 := "Another paragraph\nWith more words here\n"
r1 := analyze(text1)
r2 := analyze(text2)
total := add_results(r1, r2)
puts("\n--- File 1 ---")
r1.print()
puts("\n--- File 2 ---")
r2.print()
puts("\n--- Total ---")
total.print()
0
}

Tutorial: HTTP Server 만들기
이 튜토리얼에서는 Vais의 표준 라이브러리를 사용하여 간단한 REST API 서버를 만듭니다. JSON 요청/응답 처리와 간단한 메모리 내 데이터 저장을 구현합니다.
최종 결과
$ vaisc run examples/tutorial_http_server.vais
Server listening on port 8080
# 다른 터미널에서:
$ curl http://localhost:8080/api/hello
{"message":"Hello from Vais!"}
사전 준비
- Vais 설치 완료
- CLI Tool 튜토리얼 완료 권장
curl또는 브라우저 (API 테스트용)
Step 1: TCP 서버 기반 (10분)
HTTP 서버는 TCP 소켓 위에 동작합니다. Vais에서는 C 런타임 함수를 통해 네트워킹을 지원합니다:
# 외부 함수 선언
N "C" {
F __tcp_listen(port: i64) -> i64
F __tcp_accept(listener_fd: i64) -> i64
F __tcp_send(fd: i64, data: i64, len: i64) -> i64
F __tcp_recv(fd: i64, buffer: i64, len: i64) -> i64
F __tcp_close(fd: i64) -> i64
F strlen(s: str) -> i64
F malloc(size: i64) -> i64
F free(ptr: i64) -> i64
}
핵심 개념:
N "C"는 C FFI 블록입니다- TCP 함수들은 파일 디스크립터(fd) 기반으로 동작합니다
__tcp_listen은 포트를 열고,__tcp_accept는 연결을 수락합니다
Step 2: HTTP 요청 파싱 (15분)
HTTP 요청의 첫 줄에서 메서드와 경로를 추출합니다:
# HTTP 요청 정보
S HttpRequest {
method: i64 # 0=GET, 1=POST, 2=PUT, 3=DELETE
path_start: i64
path_len: i64
buffer: i64
}
F parse_request(buf: i64, len: i64) -> HttpRequest {
# 메서드 판별 (첫 바이트)
first := load_byte(buf, 0)
method := mut 0
I first == 71 { method = 0 } # G -> GET
I first == 80 { method = 1 } # P -> POST
# 경로 시작점 찾기 (첫 번째 공백 이후)
path_s := mut 0
L i:0..len {
I load_byte(buf, i) == 32 {
path_s = i + 1
B
}
}
# 경로 끝점 찾기 (두 번째 공백)
path_e := mut path_s
L i:path_s..len {
I load_byte(buf, i) == 32 {
path_e = i
B
}
}
R HttpRequest {
method: method,
path_start: path_s,
path_len: path_e - path_s,
buffer: buf
}
}
핵심 개념:
B는 break (루프 탈출)32는 공백 문자의 ASCII 코드- HTTP 요청 형식:
GET /path HTTP/1.1\r\n... - 구조체 필드에
i64를 사용하는 이유: Vais의 기본 정수 타입
Step 3: HTTP 응답 생성 (10분)
HTTP 응답을 구성하는 헬퍼 함수를 만듭니다:
F send_response(fd: i64, status: i64, body: str) {
# 응답 헤더 구성
header := mut "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nContent-Type: application/json\r\n\r\n"
I status == 404 {
header = "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found\r\nContent-Type: application/json\r\n\r\n"
}
# 헤더 전송
hdr_len := strlen(header)
__tcp_send(fd, header, hdr_len)
# 본문 전송
body_len := strlen(body)
__tcp_send(fd, body, body_len)
}
핵심 개념:
- HTTP 응답은 상태 줄 + 헤더 + 빈 줄 + 본문으로 구성
\r\n은 HTTP 줄바꿈 (CRLF)Content-Type: application/json으로 JSON 응답 명시
Step 4: 라우터 구현 (15분)
경로에 따라 다른 핸들러를 실행하는 라우터를 만듭니다:
F path_equals(buf: i64, start: i64, len: i64, target: str) -> i64 {
target_len := strlen(target)
I len != target_len { R 0 }
L i:0..len {
I load_byte(buf, start + i) != load_byte(target, i) {
R 0
}
}
R 1
}
F handle_request(fd: i64, req: HttpRequest) {
# 라우트 매칭
I path_equals(req.buffer, req.path_start, req.path_len, "/") == 1 {
send_response(fd, 200, "{\"service\":\"Vais API\",\"version\":\"1.0\"}")
R 0
}
I path_equals(req.buffer, req.path_start, req.path_len, "/api/hello") == 1 {
send_response(fd, 200, "{\"message\":\"Hello from Vais!\"}")
R 0
}
I path_equals(req.buffer, req.path_start, req.path_len, "/health") == 1 {
send_response(fd, 200, "{\"status\":\"ok\"}")
R 0
}
# 404 Not Found
send_response(fd, 404, "{\"error\":\"Not Found\"}")
}
핵심 개념:
- 바이트 단위 문자열 비교 (길이 비교 + 바이트별 비교)
- 라우팅은 경로 매칭의 연속입니다
R 0으로 함수 조기 반환 (early return)
Step 5: 서버 메인 루프 (10분)
요청을 수신하고 처리하는 메인 루프를 작성합니다:
F main() -> i64 {
port := 8080
puts("Starting Vais HTTP Server on port ~{port}...")
listener := __tcp_listen(port)
I listener < 0 {
puts("ERROR: Failed to listen on port ~{port}")
R 1
}
puts("Server listening on port ~{port}")
puts("Try: curl http://localhost:~{port}/api/hello")
# 요청 수신 버퍼
buf := malloc(4096)
# 서버 루프 (데모: 10개 요청 처리 후 종료)
L i:0..10 {
client := __tcp_accept(listener)
I client < 0 { C } # 에러 시 스킵
# 요청 읽기
n := __tcp_recv(client, buf, 4095)
I n > 0 {
store_byte(buf, n, 0) # null-terminate
req := parse_request(buf, n)
handle_request(client, req)
}
__tcp_close(client)
}
free(buf)
__tcp_close(listener)
puts("Server shut down.")
0
}
핵심 개념:
C는 continue (현재 반복 스킵)malloc/free로 버퍼 메모리 관리store_byte로 null-terminator 추가- 데모용으로 10개 요청 후 종료 (실제 서버는 무한 루프 사용)
Step 6: JSON 응답 빌더 (15분)
동적 JSON 응답을 생성하는 헬퍼를 추가합니다:
# 간단한 JSON key:value 응답 생성
F json_kv(key: str, value: str) -> i64 {
buf := malloc(512)
pos := mut 0
# {"key":"value"}
store_byte(buf, pos, 123) # {
pos = pos + 1
store_byte(buf, pos, 34) # "
pos = pos + 1
# key 복사
key_len := strlen(key)
L i:0..key_len {
store_byte(buf, pos, load_byte(key, i))
pos = pos + 1
}
store_byte(buf, pos, 34) # "
pos = pos + 1
store_byte(buf, pos, 58) # :
pos = pos + 1
store_byte(buf, pos, 34) # "
pos = pos + 1
# value 복사
val_len := strlen(value)
L i:0..val_len {
store_byte(buf, pos, load_byte(value, i))
pos = pos + 1
}
store_byte(buf, pos, 34) # "
pos = pos + 1
store_byte(buf, pos, 125) # }
pos = pos + 1
store_byte(buf, pos, 0) # null
buf
}
핵심 개념:
- 바이트 단위로 JSON 문자열을 수동 조립합니다
- ASCII 코드:
{=123,}=125,"=34,:=58 - 반환된 포인터는 호출자가
free()해야 합니다
Step 7: 카운터 엔드포인트 (10분)
요청 횟수를 추적하는 상태 관리 기능을 추가합니다:
# 전역 카운터
G request_count := 0
F handle_request_with_counter(fd: i64, req: HttpRequest) {
request_count = request_count + 1
I path_equals(req.buffer, req.path_start, req.path_len, "/stats") == 1 {
puts("Request #~{request_count}: /stats")
# 응답 생성
body := json_kv("requests", "~{request_count}")
send_response(fd, 200, body)
free(body)
R 0
}
# 기존 라우트...
handle_request(fd, req)
}
핵심 개념:
G는 전역 변수 선언 키워드- 전역 변수로 요청 간 상태를 유지합니다
- 참고: 실전에서는 구조체 기반 상태 관리를 권장합니다

확장 아이디어
- 요청 본문 파싱: POST 요청의 JSON 본문을 파싱하여 데이터 저장
- 라우트 패턴:
/users/:id같은 동적 경로 파라미터 - CORS 헤더: 브라우저 호환을 위한 Access-Control 헤더 추가
- 파일 서빙: 정적 파일을 HTTP로 서빙
- 로깅: 요청/응답 로그를 파일에 기록

Tutorial: Data Pipeline 만들기
이 튜토리얼에서는 Vais로 데이터를 읽고, 변환하고, 출력하는 파이프라인을 만듭니다. CSV 형식의 데이터를 파싱하여 통계를 계산하고, 결과를 출력하는 프로그램입니다.
최종 결과
$ vaisc run examples/tutorial_pipeline.vais
=== Data Pipeline ===
Records: 5
Total score: 435
Average: 87
Max: 98
Min: 72
사전 준비
- Vais 설치 완료
- CLI Tool 튜토리얼 완료 권장
Step 1: 데이터 모델 (10분)
파이프라인에서 처리할 데이터 구조를 정의합니다:
# 학생 성적 레코드
S Record {
id: i64
score: i64
}
# 통계 결과
S Stats {
count: i64
total: i64
max_val: i64
min_val: i64
}
X Stats {
F average(&self) -> i64 {
I self.count == 0 { R 0 }
R self.total / self.count
}
F print(&self) {
puts("Records: ~{self.count}")
puts("Total score: ~{self.total}")
puts("Average: ~{self.average()}")
puts("Max: ~{self.max_val}")
puts("Min: ~{self.min_val}")
}
}
핵심 개념:
S로 데이터 모델 정의X로 메서드 추가 (self를 통한 필드 접근)I/R로 0 나눗셈 방어
Step 2: 데이터 소스 (10분)
메모리 내 배열로 데이터를 구성합니다. 실전에서는 파일이나 네트워크에서 읽어옵니다:
N "C" {
F malloc(size: i64) -> i64
F free(ptr: i64) -> i64
F strlen(s: str) -> i64
}
# 고정 배열로 데이터 생성
F create_dataset(buf: i64) -> i64 {
# 5개 레코드: id, score 쌍
# Record 0: id=1, score=85
store_i64(buf, 0, 1)
store_i64(buf, 8, 85)
# Record 1: id=2, score=92
store_i64(buf, 16, 2)
store_i64(buf, 24, 92)
# Record 2: id=3, score=78
store_i64(buf, 32, 3)
store_i64(buf, 40, 78)
# Record 3: id=4, score=98
store_i64(buf, 48, 4)
store_i64(buf, 56, 98)
# Record 4: id=5, score=72
store_i64(buf, 64, 5)
store_i64(buf, 72, 72)
R 5 # 레코드 수 반환
}
F store_i64(buf: i64, offset: i64, value: i64) {
# 8바이트 정수 저장 (little-endian)
L i:0..8 {
byte := (value >> (i * 8)) & 255
store_byte(buf + offset, i, byte)
}
}
F load_i64_at(buf: i64, offset: i64) -> i64 {
result := mut 0
L i:0..8 {
byte := load_byte(buf + offset, i)
result = result | (byte << (i * 8))
}
result
}
핵심 개념:
- 바이트 레벨 메모리 조작으로 데이터 저장/로드
store_byte/load_byte는 빌트인 함수- 비트 연산 (
>>,<<,&,|)으로 바이트 추출/조합
Step 3: 변환 단계 (Transform) (15분)
데이터를 읽고 변환하는 파이프라인 단계를 구현합니다:
# 레코드 하나 읽기
F read_record(buf: i64, index: i64) -> Record {
offset := index * 16 # 각 레코드 16바이트 (id 8 + score 8)
R Record {
id: load_i64_at(buf, offset),
score: load_i64_at(buf, offset + 8)
}
}
# 점수 보정: 커브 적용 (10% 보너스, 최대 100)
F apply_curve(score: i64) -> i64 {
curved := score + score / 10
I curved > 100 { R 100 }
curved
}
# 필터: 최소 점수 이상만 통과
F passes_filter(score: i64, min_score: i64) -> i64 {
I score >= min_score { R 1 }
0
}
핵심 개념:
- 순수 함수로 각 변환 단계를 구현
- 구조체를 값으로 반환
- 조건부 반환으로 범위 제한
Step 4: 집계 단계 (Aggregate) (15분)
전체 데이터를 순회하며 통계를 계산합니다:
F compute_stats(buf: i64, count: i64) -> Stats {
total := mut 0
max_v := mut 0
min_v := mut 999999
L i:0..count {
rec := read_record(buf, i)
score := apply_curve(rec.score)
total = total + score
I score > max_v {
max_v = score
}
I score < min_v {
min_v = score
}
}
R Stats {
count: count,
total: total,
max_val: max_v,
min_val: min_v
}
}
핵심 개념:
- 루프 내에서 min/max 추적 패턴
mut변수로 누적 계산- 파이프라인 단계: read -> transform (curve) -> aggregate
Step 5: 필터링 파이프라인 (15분)
조건에 맞는 레코드만 처리하는 필터를 추가합니다:
F compute_filtered_stats(buf: i64, count: i64, min_score: i64) -> Stats {
total := mut 0
max_v := mut 0
min_v := mut 999999
passed := mut 0
L i:0..count {
rec := read_record(buf, i)
score := apply_curve(rec.score)
I passes_filter(score, min_score) == 1 {
total = total + score
passed = passed + 1
I score > max_v { max_v = score }
I score < min_v { min_v = score }
}
}
I passed == 0 {
min_v = 0
}
R Stats {
count: passed,
total: total,
max_val: max_v,
min_val: min_v
}
}
핵심 개념:
- 필터와 변환을 조합하는 패턴
- 빈 결과 처리 (passed == 0일 때 min 초기화)
Step 6: 전체 파이프라인 조합 (10분)
F main() -> i64 {
puts("=== Data Pipeline ===")
# 1. 데이터 생성
buf := malloc(256)
count := create_dataset(buf)
# 2. 전체 통계
puts("\n--- All Records (with curve) ---")
all_stats := compute_stats(buf, count)
all_stats.print()
# 3. 필터링 통계 (85점 이상)
puts("\n--- Filtered (min 85, with curve) ---")
filtered := compute_filtered_stats(buf, count, 85)
filtered.print()
# 4. 원본 데이터 출력
puts("\n--- Raw Data ---")
L i:0..count {
rec := read_record(buf, i)
curved := apply_curve(rec.score)
puts(" ID ~{rec.id}: ~{rec.score} -> ~{curved}")
}
# 5. 정리
free(buf)
puts("\nPipeline complete.")
0
}
파이프라인 아키텍처
[데이터 소스] [변환] [집계] [출력]
create_dataset -> read_record -> compute_ -> print()
apply_curve stats
passes_filter
이 구조는 일반적인 ETL (Extract-Transform-Load) 패턴을 따릅니다:
- Extract:
create_dataset+read_record - Transform:
apply_curve+passes_filter - Load:
compute_stats+print
Step 7: 파이프 연산자 활용 (보너스)
Vais의 |> 연산자로 변환 체인을 표현적으로 작성할 수 있습니다:
# 단일 레코드 처리
F process_score(score: i64) -> i64 {
score |> apply_curve |> |s| I s > 100 { 100 } E { s }
}
핵심 개념:
|>는 파이프 연산자: 왼쪽 결과를 오른쪽 함수의 첫 인수로 전달- 클로저
|s| expr와 조합하여 인라인 변환 가능

다음 단계
Tutorial: WebSocket Chat Server 만들기
이 튜토리얼에서는 Vais로 실시간 WebSocket 채팅 서버를 만듭니다. 클라이언트가 메시지를 보내면 서버가 모든 연결된 클라이언트에게 브로드캐스트하는 echo-broadcast 패턴을 구현합니다.
최종 결과
$ vaisc run examples/tutorial_ws_chat.vais
=== Vais WebSocket Chat Server ===
Listening on port 9001
Test with: websocat ws://127.0.0.1:9001
사전 준비
- Vais 설치 완료
- CLI Tool 튜토리얼 완료 권장
websocat또는wscat(WebSocket 클라이언트)
Step 1: TCP 기반 서버 뼈대 (10분)
WebSocket은 TCP 위에 동작합니다. 먼저 TCP 서버를 설정합니다:
# 외부 함수 선언 — C 런타임 네트워킹
N "C" {
F __tcp_listen(port: i64) -> i64
F __tcp_accept(listener_fd: i64) -> i64
F __tcp_send(fd: i64, data: i64, len: i64) -> i64
F __tcp_recv(fd: i64, buffer: i64, len: i64) -> i64
F __tcp_close(fd: i64) -> i64
F __malloc(size: i64) -> i64
F __free(ptr: i64) -> i64
}
F main() -> i64 {
port := 9001
puts("=== Vais WebSocket Chat Server ===")
listener := __tcp_listen(port)
I listener < 0 {
puts("Failed to start server")
R 1
}
puts("Listening on port 9001")
puts("Waiting for connections...")
# Accept loop
L true {
client := __tcp_accept(listener)
I client < 0 { C }
puts("New connection!")
__tcp_close(client)
}
__tcp_close(listener)
0
}
핵심 포인트:
N "C" { ... }블록으로 C 런타임 함수를 선언합니다__tcp_listen은 포트를 바인딩하고 리스너 파일 디스크립터를 반환합니다L true { ... }는 무한 루프입니다 (클라이언트를 계속 수락)
Step 2: WebSocket 핸드셰이크 (15분)
WebSocket 연결은 HTTP Upgrade 요청으로 시작됩니다. 핸드셰이크를 처리하는 함수를 작성합니다:
# WebSocket 런타임 함수들
N "C" {
F __ws_parse_upgrade_request(buffer: i64, len: i64) -> i64
F __ws_accept_key(client_key: i64) -> i64
F __ws_build_upgrade_response(accept_key: i64, out_buffer: i64) -> i64
F __find_header_end(buffer: i64, len: i64) -> i64
F __strlen(s: str) -> i64
}
F do_handshake(fd: i64) -> i64 {
buf := __malloc(8192)
I buf == 0 { R 0 }
# HTTP 요청 전체를 읽기 (헤더 끝까지)
total := mut 0
L true {
n := __tcp_recv(fd, buf + total, 4096)
I n <= 0 {
__free(buf)
R 0
}
total = total + n
I __find_header_end(buf, total) >= 0 { B }
I total >= 8192 {
__free(buf)
R 0
}
}
# Sec-WebSocket-Key 추출
ws_key := __ws_parse_upgrade_request(buf, total)
__free(buf)
I ws_key == 0 { R 0 }
# SHA-1 + Base64로 Accept 키 생성
accept_key := __ws_accept_key(ws_key)
__free(ws_key)
I accept_key == 0 { R 0 }
# 101 Switching Protocols 응답 전송
resp_buf := __malloc(512)
I resp_buf == 0 {
__free(accept_key)
R 0
}
resp_len := __ws_build_upgrade_response(accept_key, resp_buf)
__free(accept_key)
sent := __tcp_send(fd, resp_buf, resp_len)
__free(resp_buf)
I sent > 0 { 1 } E { 0 }
}
핵심 포인트:
- WebSocket 핸드셰이크는 HTTP → WebSocket 프로토콜 업그레이드입니다
__ws_parse_upgrade_request가Sec-WebSocket-Key헤더를 추출합니다__ws_accept_key가 RFC 6455 규격에 따라 Accept 키를 계산합니다D(defer)로 메모리 해제를 보장할 수도 있습니다 (Step 4 참고)
Step 3: 메시지 수신과 에코 (15분)
WebSocket 프레임을 디코딩하고 에코하는 루프를 작성합니다:
# WebSocket opcodes
C WS_TEXT: i64 = 1
C WS_CLOSE: i64 = 8
C WS_PING: i64 = 9
C WS_PONG: i64 = 10
N "C" {
F __ws_encode_frame(opcode: i64, payload: i64, payload_len: i64,
masked: i64, mask_key: i64, out_frame: i64) -> i64
F __ws_decode_frame(data: i64, data_len: i64, out_frame: i64) -> i64
F __load_i64(ptr: i64) -> i64
}
F ws_send_text(fd: i64, msg: str) -> i64 {
msg_len := __strlen(msg)
buf := __malloc(msg_len + 14)
I buf == 0 { R -1 }
frame_len := __ws_encode_frame(WS_TEXT, msg as i64, msg_len, 0, 0, buf)
sent := __tcp_send(fd, buf, frame_len)
__free(buf)
sent
}
F handle_client(fd: i64) -> i64 {
recv_buf := __malloc(65550)
frame_out := __malloc(40) # 5 x i64 필드
I recv_buf == 0 { R -1 }
is_open := mut 1
L is_open == 1 {
# 최소 2바이트 수신 (프레임 헤더)
total := mut 0
L total < 2 {
n := __tcp_recv(fd, recv_buf + total, 4096)
I n <= 0 { is_open = 0; B }
total = total + n
}
I is_open == 0 { B }
# 프레임 디코딩
consumed := __ws_decode_frame(recv_buf, total, frame_out)
opcode := __load_i64(frame_out)
payload := __load_i64(frame_out + 8)
payload_len := __load_i64(frame_out + 16)
M opcode {
1 => {
# 텍스트 메시지 — 에코
puts("Received text message")
ws_send_text(fd, payload as str)
},
8 => {
# Close 프레임
puts("Client disconnected")
is_open = 0
},
9 => {
# Ping → Pong 응답
pong_buf := __malloc(16)
__ws_encode_frame(WS_PONG, 0, 0, 0, 0, pong_buf)
__tcp_send(fd, pong_buf, 2)
__free(pong_buf)
},
_ => { }
}
I payload != 0 { __free(payload) }
}
__free(recv_buf)
__free(frame_out)
0
}
핵심 포인트:
M opcode { ... }로 WebSocket 프레임 타입별 처리를 합니다- 서버→클라이언트는 마스킹 없이 (
masked=0) 전송합니다 __load_i64(frame_out + offset)으로 구조체 필드를 읽습니다is_open := mut 1— 가변 플래그로 루프 제어
Step 4: Defer로 리소스 정리 (5분)
메모리 누수를 방지하기 위해 D (defer)를 활용합니다:
F handle_client_safe(fd: i64) -> i64 {
recv_buf := __malloc(65550)
D __free(recv_buf) # 함수 종료 시 자동 해제
frame_out := __malloc(40)
D __free(frame_out) # LIFO 순서로 해제
# ... 나머지 로직 동일
0
}
D 문은 현재 스코프가 종료될 때 역순(LIFO)으로 실행됩니다. 에러 경로에서도 정리가 보장됩니다.
Step 5: 전체 조합 (10분)
모든 함수를 조합하여 완전한 서버를 만듭니다:
F main() -> i64 {
port := 9001
puts("=== Vais WebSocket Chat Server ===")
listener := __tcp_listen(port)
I listener < 0 {
puts("Failed to start server")
R 1
}
puts("Listening on port 9001")
puts("Test with: websocat ws://127.0.0.1:9001")
L true {
client := __tcp_accept(listener)
I client < 0 { C }
puts("New TCP connection")
ok := do_handshake(client)
I ok == 1 {
puts("WebSocket handshake OK")
handle_client(client)
} E {
puts("Handshake failed")
}
__tcp_close(client)
}
__tcp_close(listener)
0
}

Tutorial: JSON Parser 만들기
이 튜토리얼에서는 Vais로 간단한 JSON 파서를 만듭니다. 재귀 하강(recursive descent) 기법으로 JSON 문자열을 파싱하고, 값을 추출하는 프로그램을 작성합니다.
최종 결과
$ vaisc run examples/tutorial_json_parser.vais
=== Vais JSON Parser ===
Parsing: {"name":"vais","version":1,"active":true}
Found key: name = vais
Found key: version = 1
Found key: active = true
Parse OK — 3 fields
사전 준비
- Vais 설치 완료
- CLI Tool 튜토리얼 완료 권장
- JSON 형식 기본 이해
Step 1: 토큰 정의 (10분)
JSON은 6가지 값 타입을 갖습니다: 문자열, 숫자, 불리언, null, 배열, 객체. 먼저 토큰 타입을 정의합니다:
# JSON 토큰 타입 상수
C TOK_STRING: i64 = 1
C TOK_NUMBER: i64 = 2
C TOK_TRUE: i64 = 3
C TOK_FALSE: i64 = 4
C TOK_NULL: i64 = 5
C TOK_LBRACE: i64 = 6 # {
C TOK_RBRACE: i64 = 7 # }
C TOK_LBRACKET: i64 = 8 # [
C TOK_RBRACKET: i64 = 9 # ]
C TOK_COLON: i64 = 10 # :
C TOK_COMMA: i64 = 11 # ,
C TOK_EOF: i64 = 12
C TOK_ERROR: i64 = -1
핵심 포인트:
C키워드로 컴파일 타임 상수를 정의합니다- 토큰을 정수 코드로 표현하면
M(match)로 빠르게 분기할 수 있습니다
Step 2: 렉서 (Lexer) 구현 (15분)
입력 문자열을 토큰 스트림으로 변환하는 렉서를 작성합니다:
# 파서 상태 — 전역 변수로 위치 추적
G input_str: str = ""
G pos: i64 = mut 0
G input_len: i64 = 0
# 현재 문자 읽기
F peek_char() -> i64 {
I pos >= input_len { R 0 }
load_byte(input_str as i64 + pos)
}
# 다음 문자로 이동
F advance() -> i64 {
I pos < input_len { pos = pos + 1 }
0
}
# 공백 건너뛰기
F skip_whitespace() -> i64 {
L pos < input_len {
ch := peek_char()
# space(32), tab(9), newline(10), carriage return(13)
I ch == 32 | ch == 9 | ch == 10 | ch == 13 {
advance()
} E {
B
}
}
0
}
# 다음 토큰 타입 반환
F next_token() -> i64 {
skip_whitespace()
I pos >= input_len { R TOK_EOF }
ch := peek_char()
M ch {
123 => { advance(); TOK_LBRACE }, # '{'
125 => { advance(); TOK_RBRACE }, # '}'
91 => { advance(); TOK_LBRACKET }, # '['
93 => { advance(); TOK_RBRACKET }, # ']'
58 => { advance(); TOK_COLON }, # ':'
44 => { advance(); TOK_COMMA }, # ','
34 => { scan_string() }, # '"'
_ => {
# 숫자 또는 키워드 (true/false/null)
I ch >= 48 & ch <= 57 | ch == 45 {
scan_number()
} E {
scan_keyword()
}
}
}
}
핵심 포인트:
G키워드로 전역 변수를 선언합니다 (파서 상태 공유)M ch { ... }로 문자별 분기 처리합니다- 문자 코드를 직접 사용합니다 (예:
123={,34=")
Step 3: 문자열과 숫자 스캐너 (15분)
문자열과 숫자 토큰을 파싱하는 헬퍼 함수를 작성합니다:
# 문자열 값을 저장할 버퍼
G str_buf: i64 = 0
G str_len: i64 = 0
F scan_string() -> i64 {
advance() # 여는 '"' 건너뛰기
start := pos
L pos < input_len {
ch := peek_char()
I ch == 34 { # 닫는 '"'
str_len = pos - start
str_buf = input_str as i64 + start
advance()
R TOK_STRING
}
I ch == 92 { # '\' 이스케이프
advance()
}
advance()
}
TOK_ERROR # 닫는 따옴표 없음
}
# 파싱된 숫자 값
G num_value: i64 = 0
F scan_number() -> i64 {
negative := mut 0
I peek_char() == 45 { # '-'
negative = 1
advance()
}
result := mut 0
L pos < input_len {
ch := peek_char()
I ch >= 48 & ch <= 57 {
result = result * 10 + (ch - 48)
advance()
} E {
B
}
}
num_value = I negative == 1 { -result } E { result }
TOK_NUMBER
}
F scan_keyword() -> i64 {
# true, false, null 식별
ch := peek_char()
I ch == 116 { # 't'
pos = pos + 4 # "true"
R TOK_TRUE
}
I ch == 102 { # 'f'
pos = pos + 5 # "false"
R TOK_FALSE
}
I ch == 110 { # 'n'
pos = pos + 4 # "null"
R TOK_NULL
}
TOK_ERROR
}
핵심 포인트:
str_buf와str_len으로 파싱된 문자열의 위치와 길이를 추적합니다- 숫자 파싱은 자릿수별로
result * 10 + digit누적합니다 - 키워드는 첫 문자로 판별하고 고정 길이만큼 건너뜁니다
Step 4: 재귀 하강 파서 (20분)
JSON 객체와 배열을 재귀적으로 파싱합니다:
# JSON 값 파싱 — 재귀 진입점
F parse_value() -> i64 {
tok := next_token()
M tok {
1 => { # TOK_STRING
puts(" string value")
1
},
2 => { # TOK_NUMBER
puts(" number value")
1
},
3 => { 1 }, # true
4 => { 1 }, # false
5 => { 1 }, # null
6 => parse_object(), # '{'
8 => parse_array(), # '['
_ => {
puts("Parse error: unexpected token")
0
}
}
}
# JSON 객체 파싱: { "key": value, ... }
F parse_object() -> i64 {
field_count := mut 0
tok := next_token()
I tok == TOK_RBRACE { R 0 } # 빈 객체 {}
# 첫 번째 키-값 쌍
I tok != TOK_STRING {
puts("Error: expected string key")
R -1
}
puts(" key found")
field_count = field_count + 1
# ':' 구분자
colon := next_token()
I colon != TOK_COLON {
puts("Error: expected ':'")
R -1
}
# 값 파싱 (재귀)
I parse_value() < 0 { R -1 }
# 나머지 키-값 쌍
L true {
tok = next_token()
I tok == TOK_RBRACE { B } # 객체 끝
I tok != TOK_COMMA {
puts("Error: expected ',' or '}'")
R -1
}
# 다음 키-값
tok = next_token()
I tok != TOK_STRING { R -1 }
field_count = field_count + 1
colon = next_token()
I colon != TOK_COLON { R -1 }
I parse_value() < 0 { R -1 }
}
field_count
}
# JSON 배열 파싱: [ value, ... ]
F parse_array() -> i64 {
count := mut 0
# 빈 배열 체크
skip_whitespace()
I peek_char() == 93 { # ']'
advance()
R 0
}
# 첫 번째 요소
I parse_value() < 0 { R -1 }
count = count + 1
# 나머지 요소
L true {
tok := next_token()
I tok == TOK_RBRACKET { B }
I tok != TOK_COMMA { R -1 }
I parse_value() < 0 { R -1 }
count = count + 1
}
count
}
핵심 포인트:
parse_value()→parse_object()→parse_value()재귀 구조@(자재귀)는 단일 함수 내에서만 사용 가능 — 여기서는 상호 재귀이므로 직접 호출- 에러 시
-1반환으로 에러 전파 (수동 Result 패턴)
Step 5: main 함수와 통합 (10분)
F main() -> i64 {
puts("=== Vais JSON Parser ===")
# 테스트 JSON 문자열
json := "{\"name\":\"vais\",\"version\":1,\"active\":true}"
input_str = json
input_len = __strlen(json)
pos = 0
puts("Parsing JSON...")
tok := next_token()
I tok == TOK_LBRACE {
fields := parse_object()
I fields >= 0 {
puts("Parse OK")
R 0
}
}
puts("Parse failed")
1
}
빌드 및 실행

{"user": {"name": "Alice", "scores": [95, 87, 92]}}
3. 에러 위치 보고
F report_error(msg: str) -> i64 {
puts("Error at position {pos}: {msg}")

사전 준비
- Vais 설치 완료
- CLI Tool 튜토리얼 완료 권장
Step 1: 인자 파싱 기반 (10분)
CLI 프로그램의 핵심은 명령행 인자를 읽는 것입니다. Vais에서는 C 런타임의 argc/argv를 통해 접근합니다:
# C 런타임 함수
N "C" {
F __get_argc() -> i64
F __get_argv(index: i64) -> str
F __strlen(s: str) -> i64
F __strcmp(a: str, b: str) -> i64
F __atoi(s: str) -> i64
}
F main() -> i64 {
argc := __get_argc()
I argc < 2 {
puts("Usage: mycli <command> [args...]")
puts("Try: mycli help")
R 1
}
cmd := __get_argv(1)
puts("Command: {cmd}")
0
}
핵심 포인트:
__get_argc()는 인자 개수,__get_argv(i)는 i번째 인자를 반환합니다__strcmp로 문자열 비교 (0이면 동일)__atoi로 문자열→정수 변환
Step 2: 커맨드 디스패처 (15분)
서브커맨드별로 핸들러 함수를 분기하는 디스패처를 만듭니다:
# 서브커맨드 핸들러들
F cmd_help() -> i64 {
puts("mycli v1.0 — Vais CLI Framework Demo")
puts("")
puts("Commands:")
puts(" greet <name> Say hello")
puts(" count <n> Count from 1 to n")
puts(" fib <n> Compute Fibonacci")
puts(" help Show this help")
0
}
F cmd_greet() -> i64 {
argc := __get_argc()
I argc < 3 {
puts("Error: greet requires a name")
puts("Usage: mycli greet <name>")
R 1
}
name := __get_argv(2)
puts("Hello, {name}!")
0
}
F cmd_count() -> i64 {
argc := __get_argc()
I argc < 3 {
puts("Error: count requires a number")
R 1
}
n := __atoi(__get_argv(2))
I n <= 0 {
puts("Error: n must be positive")
R 1
}
L i:1..n+1 {
putchar(i / 10 + 48)
putchar(i % 10 + 48)
putchar(32) # space
}
putchar(10) # newline
0
}
F cmd_fib() -> i64 {
argc := __get_argc()
I argc < 3 {
puts("Error: fib requires a number")
R 1
}
n := __atoi(__get_argv(2))
result := fib(n)
puts("fib({n}) = {result}")
0
}
# 피보나치 (자재귀)
F fib(n: i64) -> i64 = n < 2 ? n : @(n-1) + @(n-2)
# 디스패처
F dispatch(cmd: str) -> i64 {
I __strcmp(cmd, "help") == 0 { R cmd_help() }
I __strcmp(cmd, "greet") == 0 { R cmd_greet() }
I __strcmp(cmd, "count") == 0 { R cmd_count() }
I __strcmp(cmd, "fib") == 0 { R cmd_fib() }
puts("Unknown command: {cmd}")
puts("Try: mycli help")
1
}
F main() -> i64 {
argc := __get_argc()
I argc < 2 {
R cmd_help()
}
cmd := __get_argv(1)
dispatch(cmd)
}
핵심 포인트:
- 각 커맨드는 독립 함수로 분리합니다
dispatch가 문자열 비교로 적절한 핸들러를 호출합니다- 인자 검증을 각 핸들러에서 수행합니다 (argc 체크)
R(return)으로 조기 반환하여 에러 처리합니다
Step 3: 옵션 파싱 (15분)
--verbose, --output=file 같은 옵션을 파싱하는 기능을 추가합니다:
# 전역 옵션 플래그
G verbose: i64 = mut 0
G output_file: str = ""
# 문자열 접두사 비교
F starts_with(s: str, prefix: str) -> i64 {
s_len := __strlen(s)
p_len := __strlen(prefix)
I p_len > s_len { R 0 }
i := mut 0
L i < p_len {
sc := load_byte(s as i64 + i)
pc := load_byte(prefix as i64 + i)
I sc != pc { R 0 }
i = i + 1
}
1
}
# 옵션 파싱 — 옵션이 아닌 첫 인자의 인덱스 반환
F parse_options() -> i64 {
argc := __get_argc()
i := mut 1 # argv[0]은 프로그램 이름
L i < argc {
arg := __get_argv(i)
I __strcmp(arg, "--verbose") == 0 | __strcmp(arg, "-v") == 0 {
verbose = 1
i = i + 1
C
}
I starts_with(arg, "--output=") == 1 {
# "=" 뒤의 값 추출
output_file = arg as i64 + 9 as str
i = i + 1
C
}
I starts_with(arg, "-") == 1 {
puts("Unknown option: {arg}")
i = i + 1
C
}
# 옵션이 아닌 인자 발견 → 커맨드 시작
B
}
i # 커맨드 인자의 시작 인덱스
}
핵심 포인트:
- 전역 플래그
G verbose: i64 = mut 0로 옵션 상태를 저장합니다 starts_with헬퍼로 접두사 매칭합니다C(continue)로 다음 인자를 처리합니다B(break)로 옵션 파싱을 종료하고 커맨드 처리로 넘어갑니다
Step 4: 에러 처리와 종료 코드 (10분)
Unix 관례에 따라 적절한 종료 코드를 반환합니다:
C EXIT_OK: i64 = 0
C EXIT_USAGE: i64 = 1
C EXIT_ERROR: i64 = 2
F error(msg: str) -> i64 {
puts("Error: {msg}")
EXIT_ERROR
}
F usage_error(msg: str) -> i64 {
puts("Error: {msg}")
puts("")
cmd_help()
EXIT_USAGE
}
# 개선된 디스패처
F dispatch_v2(cmd: str) -> i64 {
I verbose == 1 {
puts("[verbose] Dispatching command: {cmd}")
}
I __strcmp(cmd, "help") == 0 { R cmd_help() }
I __strcmp(cmd, "greet") == 0 { R cmd_greet() }
I __strcmp(cmd, "count") == 0 { R cmd_count() }
I __strcmp(cmd, "fib") == 0 { R cmd_fib() }
usage_error("unknown command")
}
Step 5: 전체 프로그램 (10분)
F main() -> i64 {
# 1) 옵션 파싱
cmd_start := parse_options()
argc := __get_argc()
I cmd_start >= argc {
R cmd_help()
}
# 2) 커맨드 실행
cmd := __get_argv(cmd_start)
I verbose == 1 {
puts("[verbose] Options parsed")
I __strlen(output_file) > 0 {
puts("[verbose] Output: {output_file}")
}
}
dispatch_v2(cmd)

에러 처리 패턴 가이드
Vais에서 에러를 안전하게 처리하는 방법을 배웁니다. Vais는 예외 대신 타입 기반의 에러 처리를 권장합니다.
에러 처리 전략
Vais는 여러 에러 처리 패턴을 지원합니다:
- 에러 코드 반환 - 정수 반환값으로 상태 표시
- Option/Result 패턴 - 선택적 값과 에러 정보
- 에러 전파 - 고수준 함수에 에러 처리 위임
- 패닉 (panic) - 복구 불가능한 에러
1. 에러 코드 패턴
기본 에러 코드
전통적인 C 스타일의 에러 코드를 사용합니다:
# 에러 코드 상수
G SUCCESS: i64 = 0
G ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND: i64 = 1
G ERROR_INVALID_INPUT: i64 = 2
G ERROR_PERMISSION_DENIED: i64 = 3
# 함수에서 에러 코드 반환
F read_config(path: str) -> i64 {
I path.len() == 0 {
R ERROR_INVALID_INPUT
}
# 파일 읽기 시뮬레이션
R SUCCESS
}
F main() -> i64 {
status := read_config("")
I status == SUCCESS {
puts("Configuration loaded")
} E I status == ERROR_INVALID_INPUT {
puts("Error: Invalid file path")
} E I status == ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND {
puts("Error: File not found")
} E {
puts("Error: Unknown error")
}
status
}
에러 코드 모듈화
여러 함수에서 재사용할 수 있도록 에러 코드를 모듈화합니다:
# errors.vais - 에러 정의 모듈
S ErrorCode {
code: i64
message: str
}
F error_success() -> ErrorCode = ErrorCode { code: 0, message: "Success" }
F error_not_found() -> ErrorCode = ErrorCode { code: 1, message: "Not found" }
F error_invalid_arg() -> ErrorCode = ErrorCode { code: 2, message: "Invalid argument" }
F error_io() -> ErrorCode = ErrorCode { code: 3, message: "I/O error" }
F is_error(err: ErrorCode) -> bool = err.code != 0
F error_message(err: ErrorCode) -> str = err.message
2. Option 패턴
Option 타입으로 값이 있을 수도, 없을 수도 있는 경우를 표현합니다:
# Option 구조체 정의
E Option<T> {
Some(T),
None
}
# Option을 반환하는 함수
F find_user(id: i64) -> Option<str> {
I id == 1 {
R Option.Some("Alice")
}
R Option.None
}
# Option 값 처리
F main() -> i64 {
user := find_user(1)
M user {
Option.Some(name) => puts("Found user: ~{name}"),
Option.None => puts("User not found")
}
0
}
Option 체이닝
여러 Option 연산을 연쇄적으로 수행합니다:
S User {
id: i64
name: str
email: str
}
# Option 반환 함수들
F find_user_by_id(id: i64) -> Option<User> {
I id > 0 {
R Option.Some(User { id: id, name: "User", email: "user@example.com" })
}
R Option.None
}
F get_email(user: User) -> Option<str> {
I user.email.len() > 0 {
R Option.Some(user.email)
}
R Option.None
}
# 함수 조합
F get_user_email(user_id: i64) -> Option<str> {
user := find_user_by_id(user_id)
M user {
Option.Some(u) => get_email(u),
Option.None => Option.None
}
}
3. Result 패턴
에러 정보와 함께 성공/실패를 표현하는 패턴입니다:
# Result 구조체 정의
E Result<T> {
Ok(T),
Err(str)
}
# Result를 반환하는 함수
F parse_number(s: str) -> Result<i64> {
# 간단한 파싱 (실제로는 더 복잡함)
I s.len() == 0 {
R Result.Err("Empty string")
}
# 성공 케이스
R Result.Ok(42)
}
F main() -> i64 {
result := parse_number("123")
M result {
Result.Ok(num) => puts("Parsed: ~{num}"),
Result.Err(err) => puts("Error: ~{err}")
}
0
}
Result 에러 전파
에러를 상위 함수로 전파합니다:
E FileError {
NotFound,
PermissionDenied,
IoError
}
E Result<T> {
Ok(T),
Err(FileError)
}
# 파일 읽기 함수
F read_file(path: str) -> Result<str> {
I path.len() == 0 {
R Result.Err(FileError.NotFound)
}
# 파일 내용 읽기
content := "file content"
R Result.Ok(content)
}
# 파일 처리 함수 (에러 전파)
F process_file(path: str) -> Result<i64> {
content := read_file(path)
M content {
Result.Ok(data) => {
# 데이터 처리
line_count := 1
R Result.Ok(line_count)
},
Result.Err(err) => {
# 에러 전파
R Result.Err(err)
}
}
}
4. 안전한 에러 처리 패턴
기본값 제공
F get_config_value(key: str) -> i64 {
# 기본값 반환
0
}
F main() -> i64 {
# 에러 발생 시 기본값 사용
timeout := get_config_value("timeout")
# 0이 기본값 (에러 처리됨)
actual_timeout := timeout > 0 ? timeout : 30
puts("Timeout: ~{actual_timeout}")
0
}
조건부 처리
F divide(a: i64, b: i64) -> Result<i64> {
I b == 0 {
R Result.Err("Division by zero")
}
R Result.Ok(a / b)
}
F main() -> i64 {
result := divide(10, 2)
M result {
Result.Ok(value) => puts("Result: ~{value}"),
Result.Err(msg) => puts("Cannot divide: ~{msg}")
}
0
}
5. 구조화된 로깅 통합
에러와 함께 로깅합니다:
# log.vais 사용 (표준 라이브러리)
E LogLevel {
Debug,
Info,
Warn,
Error,
Fatal
}
S Logger {
level: LogLevel
}
X Logger {
F log(&self, level: LogLevel, msg: str) {
M level {
LogLevel.Error => puts("[ERROR] ~{msg}"),
LogLevel.Warn => puts("[WARN] ~{msg}"),
LogLevel.Info => puts("[INFO] ~{msg}"),
LogLevel.Debug => puts("[DEBUG] ~{msg}"),
LogLevel.Fatal => {
puts("[FATAL] ~{msg}")
# 프로그램 종료
}
}
}
F error(&self, msg: str) {
self.log(LogLevel.Error, msg)
}
F warn(&self, msg: str) {
self.log(LogLevel.Warn, msg)
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
logger := Logger { level: LogLevel.Info }
result := divide(10, 0)
M result {
Result.Ok(value) => logger.log(LogLevel.Info, "Division successful"),
Result.Err(msg) => logger.error("Division failed: ~{msg}")
}
0
}
6. 리소스 정리 (defer)
에러 발생 후에도 리소스를 정리하는 패턴입니다:
F read_and_process(filename: str) -> Result<i64> {
# 파일 열기
handle := fopen(filename, "r")
I handle == 0 {
R Result.Err("Failed to open file")
}
# defer를 사용하여 파일 닫기 보장
D fclose(handle)
# 파일 처리
line_count := 0
# ... 파일 읽기 로직 ...
R Result.Ok(line_count)
}
7. 복합 에러 처리 예제
실제 시나리오에서의 에러 처리:
S Config {
host: str
port: i64
timeout: i64
}
E ConfigError {
NotFound,
InvalidFormat,
MissingField
}
F load_config(path: str) -> Result<Config> {
# 1. 파일 존재 확인
I path.len() == 0 {
R Result.Err(ConfigError.NotFound)
}
# 2. 파일 읽기
content := "host=localhost\nport=8080\ntimeout=30"
# 3. 파싱
I content.len() == 0 {
R Result.Err(ConfigError.InvalidFormat)
}
# 4. 구성 객체 생성
config := Config {
host: "localhost",
port: 8080,
timeout: 30
}
R Result.Ok(config)
}
F validate_config(config: Config) -> Result<bool> {
I config.port <= 0 || config.port > 65535 {
R Result.Err(ConfigError.InvalidFormat)
}
I config.timeout <= 0 {
R Result.Err(ConfigError.InvalidFormat)
}
R Result.Ok(true)
}
F main() -> i64 {
# 설정 로드
config_result := load_config("config.txt")
I config_result {
M config_result {
Result.Ok(cfg) => {
# 설정 검증
valid := validate_config(cfg)
M valid {
Result.Ok(_) => {
puts("Configuration loaded and validated")
puts("Host: ~{cfg.host}:~{cfg.port}")
},
Result.Err(_) => puts("Configuration validation failed")
}
},
Result.Err(err) => {
M err {
ConfigError.NotFound => puts("Config file not found"),
ConfigError.InvalidFormat => puts("Invalid config format"),
ConfigError.MissingField => puts("Missing required field")
}
}
}
}
0
}
모범 사례 (Best Practices)
1. 명확한 에러 타입
# Good: 명확한 에러 타입
E DatabaseError {
ConnectionFailed,
QueryFailed,
TimeoutError
}
# Bad: 문자열만 사용
F bad_db_operation() -> Result<str> {
R Result.Err("Some error occurred")
}
2. 에러 전파 명시
# 에러 전파를 함수 시그니처에 명시
F fetch_user_data(id: i64) -> Result<str> {
# ...에러 처리...
}
3. 컨텍스트 제공
F process_records(count: i64) -> Result<bool> {
I count <= 0 {
# 좋은 에러 메시지: 무엇이 잘못되었는지 알 수 있음
R Result.Err("Record count must be positive, got ~{count}")
}
R Result.Ok(true)
}
4. 조기 반환
F validate_user(name: str, age: i64) -> Result<bool> {
# 각 조건을 빠르게 검사하고 반환
I name.len() == 0 { R Result.Err("Name is required") }
I age < 0 { R Result.Err("Age cannot be negative") }
I age > 150 { R Result.Err("Age seems invalid") }
R Result.Ok(true)
}
테스트 에러 처리
# 에러를 예상하는 테스트
F test_division_by_zero() {
result := divide(10, 0)
M result {
Result.Ok(_) => puts("Test failed: should have returned error"),
Result.Err(_) => puts("Test passed: error caught correctly")
}
}
# 성공을 예상하는 테스트
F test_valid_division() {
result := divide(10, 2)
M result {
Result.Ok(value) => {
I value == 5 {
puts("Test passed: correct result")
} E {
puts("Test failed: wrong result")
}
},
Result.Err(_) => puts("Test failed: unexpected error")
}
}

성능 최적화 가이드
Vais 컴파일러는 다양한 최적화 기법을 제공하여 실행 속도와 컴파일 시간을 모두 개선할 수 있습니다. 이 가이드는 Vais 프로그램의 성능을 극대화하는 방법을 다룹니다.
최적화 레벨
Vais 컴파일러는 4가지 최적화 레벨을 제공합니다.
-O0 (기본값)
최적화 없음. 디버깅에 최적화되어 있습니다.
vaisc build main.vais
vaisc build main.vais -O0
- 장점: 빠른 컴파일, 디버깅 용이
- 단점: 느린 실행 속도
- 사용 시점: 개발 단계, 버그 추적
-O1
기본 최적화. 컴파일 시간과 실행 속도의 균형.
vaisc build main.vais -O1
- 최적화: dead code elimination, constant folding, basic inlining
- 사용 시점: 일반 개발, CI 빌드
-O2
적극적 최적화. 프로덕션 권장 레벨.
vaisc build main.vais -O2
- 최적화: loop unrolling, vectorization, function inlining, tail call optimization
- 컴파일 시간: -O1 대비 20-30% 증가
- 실행 속도: -O1 대비 30-50% 개선
- 사용 시점: 프로덕션 릴리스, 벤치마크
-O3
최대 최적화. 컴파일 시간 희생.
vaisc build main.vais -O3
- 최적화: aggressive inlining, loop transformations, interprocedural optimization
- 컴파일 시간: -O2 대비 50-100% 증가
- 실행 속도: -O2 대비 5-15% 추가 개선
- 사용 시점: CPU-bound 애플리케이션, 고성능 라이브러리
PGO (Profile-Guided Optimization)
PGO는 실제 실행 프로파일을 기반으로 최적화합니다. 2단계 프로세스입니다.
1단계: 프로파일 수집
# 프로파일링 빌드 생성
vaisc build main.vais --pgo-gen -O2
# 실행하여 프로파일 데이터 수집 (.profraw 생성)
./main
# 프로파일 병합 (여러 실행 결과 통합)
llvm-profdata merge -o default.profdata default_*.profraw
2단계: 프로파일 사용
# 프로파일 기반 최적화 빌드
vaisc build main.vais --pgo-use=default.profdata -O2
PGO 성능 향상
- 브랜치 예측: 자주 실행되는 경로를 최적화
- 함수 인라이닝: 호출 빈도 기반 인라이닝 결정
- 코드 레이아웃: 핫 경로를 연속된 메모리에 배치
예상 성능 개선: 5-20% (워크로드 의존적)
모범 사례
- 대표적인 워크로드 사용: 프로파일링 실행은 실제 사용 패턴을 반영해야 함
- 여러 시나리오 수집: 다양한 입력으로 여러 번 실행 후 병합
- 정기적 갱신: 코드 변경 시 프로파일 재수집
# 예: 여러 워크로드 프로파일링
vaisc build server.vais --pgo-gen -O2
./server < workload1.txt
./server < workload2.txt
./server < workload3.txt
llvm-profdata merge -o server.profdata default_*.profraw
vaisc build server.vais --pgo-use=server.profdata -O2
인크리멘탈 컴파일
대규모 프로젝트에서 컴파일 시간을 단축합니다.
기본 사용법
# 모듈별 컴파일 활성화
vaisc build main.vais --per-module
동작 방식
- 각 모듈을 개별 LLVM IR로 컴파일
- 변경되지 않은 모듈은 캐시 재사용
- 변경된 모듈만 재컴파일
- 링크 단계에서 통합
성능 수치
| 프로젝트 크기 | 초기 빌드 | 1파일 변경 | 개선율 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5K lines | 380ms | 78ms | 4.9x |
| 30K lines | 571ms | 96ms | 5.9x |
| 50K lines | 900ms | 140ms | 6.4x |
캐시 관리
# 캐시 크기 제한 (기본값: 512MB)
vaisc build main.vais --per-module --cache-limit=256
# 캐시 위치: ~/.vais-cache/ir_cache/
# 수동 정리:
rm -rf ~/.vais-cache/ir_cache/
주의사항
- 초기 빌드는 더 느릴 수 있음 (캐시 생성 오버헤드)
- 디스크 공간 사용: 대규모 프로젝트는 수백 MB 캐시
- 최적화 레벨: -O2/-O3와 함께 사용 가능
벤치마크 작성
Vais는 Criterion 기반 벤치마크를 지원합니다.
기본 벤치마크
# benches/my_bench.vais
U std/bench
F fibonacci(n: i64) -> i64 {
I n <= 1 { R n }
R fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2)
}
F bench_fib() {
benchmark("fibonacci_20", || {
fibonacci(20)
})
}
F main() {
bench_fib()
bench_report()
}
실행
vaisc bench benches/my_bench.vais
비교 벤치마크
F bench_sorting() {
v1 := vec_new<i64>()
L i := 0; i < 1000; i := i + 1 {
vec_push(v1, 1000 - i)
}
benchmark("quicksort_1000", || {
vec_sort(v1)
})
benchmark("merge_sort_1000", || {
vec_merge_sort(v1)
})
}
벤치마크 모범 사례
- 워밍업: 첫 실행은 캐시 미스로 느릴 수 있음
- 반복 횟수: 충분히 반복하여 통계적 유의성 확보
- 일관된 환경: CPU 거버너 설정, 백그라운드 프로세스 최소화
- 프로파일링과 병행:
--profile플래그로 상세 분석
메모리 최적화
Arena Allocator
빈번한 할당/해제 시 성능 향상.
U std/alloc
F main() {
arena := arena_new(1024 * 1024) # 1MB arena
L i := 0; i < 10000; i := i + 1 {
ptr := arena_alloc(arena, 64)
# 개별 free 불필요
}
arena_free(arena) # 한 번에 전체 해제
}
성능: 일반 malloc 대비 10-50배 빠름 (할당 패턴 의존)
Object Pool
재사용 가능한 객체 풀.
U std/pool
S Connection { fd: i64 }
F main() {
pool := pool_new<Connection>(10) # 10개 미리 할당
L i := 0; i < 100; i := i + 1 {
conn := pool_acquire(pool)
# 연결 사용
pool_release(pool, conn)
}
}
Box (힙 할당)
큰 구조체는 Box로 감싸서 스택 오버플로 방지.
S LargeData {
buffer: [i64; 10000]
}
F main() {
data := box(LargeData { buffer: [0; 10000] })
# 스택 대신 힙에 할당
}
SIMD 활용
Vais는 SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data)를 지원합니다.
기본 SIMD 연산
U std/simd
F dot_product_simd(a: Vec<f32>, b: Vec<f32>) -> f32 {
result := 0.0
len := vec_len(a)
# SIMD 레지스터 크기 (4 floats for SSE, 8 for AVX)
simd_width := 8
L i := 0; i + simd_width < len; i := i + simd_width {
va := simd_load_f32(vec_ptr(a), i)
vb := simd_load_f32(vec_ptr(b), i)
vc := simd_mul_f32(va, vb)
result := result + simd_sum_f32(vc)
}
# 나머지 처리
L i >= len - simd_width; i < len; i := i + 1 {
result := result + vec_get(a, i) * vec_get(b, i)
}
R result
}
SIMD 성능 향상
- AVX2 (256-bit): 4-8배 속도 향상 (f32 기준)
- NEON (ARM): 3-4배 속도 향상
- 자동 벡터화: -O2/-O3는 일부 루프를 자동 SIMD화
컴파일러 힌트
# AVX2 활성화
vaisc build main.vais -O3 --target-cpu=native
# 특정 CPU 타겟
vaisc build main.vais -O3 --target-cpu=skylake
프로파일링
--profile 플래그
컴파일러 내부 프로파일링.
vaisc build main.vais --profile
출력 예:
=== Vais Compiler Profile ===
Lexing: 12ms
Parsing: 45ms
Type Checking: 78ms
Codegen: 234ms
Linking: 91ms
Total: 460ms
런타임 프로파일링
# Linux: perf
perf record ./main
perf report
# macOS: Instruments
instruments -t "Time Profiler" ./main
# 범용: flamegraph
vaisc build main.vais -O2 --debug-info
perf record -g ./main
perf script | stackcollapse-perf.pl | flamegraph.pl > flame.svg
컴파일 시간 최적화
1. 인크리멘탈 컴파일 사용
vaisc build main.vais --per-module
2. 병렬 컴파일
# 4개 스레드로 병렬 컴파일 (기본값: CPU 코어 수)
vaisc build main.vais --per-module --jobs=4
3. IR 캐싱
# IR 파일 보존 (재컴파일 시 재사용)
vaisc build main.vais --emit-ir --per-module
4. 타입 체커 최적화
- 모듈 분할: 대형 파일을 여러 모듈로 분리
- 제네릭 사용 최소화: 과도한 monomorphization 방지
- 타입 명시: 타입 추론 부담 감소
# 나쁨: 과도한 타입 추론
F process(data) {
result := transform(data)
R finalize(result)
}
# 좋음: 명시적 타입
F process(data: Vec<i64>) -> i64 {
result: Vec<i64> = transform(data)
R finalize(result)
}
5. 의존성 최소화
# 나쁨: 전체 라이브러리 임포트
U std/collections
# 좋음: 필요한 함수만 선택적 임포트
U std/collections { vec_new, vec_push, vec_len }

추가 리소스
성능 최적화는 측정에서 시작합니다. 벤치마크 → 프로파일 → 최적화 → 검증 사이클을 반복하세요.
코딩 스타일 가이드
Vais 커뮤니티가 권장하는 코딩 스타일입니다. 이 가이드를 따르면 코드가 일관되고 읽기 쉬워집니다.
네이밍 컨벤션 (Naming Conventions)

├── User.vais # PascalCase 사용 금지
├── Config.vais # PascalCase 사용 금지
├── get_user_by_id.vais # 파일명이 너무 상세함
모듈 크기
파일이 너무 커지지 않도록 주의합니다.
권장 파일 크기:
- 300줄 이하: 이상적
- 300-500줄: 괜찮음
- 500줄 이상: 분할 검토
모듈 구성
관련 기능별로 파일을 구성합니다.

주석 및 문서화
주석 스타일
# 한 줄 주석은 #를 사용합니다
# 여러 줄 주석은 여러 개의 #를 사용합니다
# 이것은 복잡한 로직을 설명합니다
# 각 줄마다 #를 붙입니다
F example() {
# 코드 내 주석
x := 42 # 인라인 주석은 간단하게
}
API 문서화
공개 함수는 주석으로 문서화합니다.
# Calculate the sum of two numbers
#
# Arguments:
# a: first number
# b: second number
#
# Returns:
# sum of a and b
#
# Example:
# result := add(2, 3) # result = 5
F add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 = a + b
# Parse a JSON string
#
# Arguments:
# text: JSON string to parse
#
# Returns:
# Ok(JsonValue) if parsing succeeds
# Err(ParseError) if parsing fails
#
# Note:
# This function is strict about JSON format
F parse_json(text: str) -> Result<JsonValue> {
# ...
}
설명이 필요한 주석
복잡한 로직에만 주석을 작성합니다.
# 좋은 예: 왜 이렇게 하는지 설명
F find_user_efficiently(id: i64) -> Option<User> {
# Use binary search on sorted user list
# Linear search would be O(n), but we have 100k users
# so O(log n) is critical for performance
# ...
}
# 나쁜 예: 명확한 코드는 주석 불필요
F add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 {
# Add a to b
a + b
}
포매팅 (Formatting)
들여쓰기
4개의 스페이스를 사용합니다. 탭은 사용하지 않습니다.
# 좋은 예
F outer() {
I true {
puts("inner")
}
}
# 나쁜 예 (탭 사용)
F outer() {
→ I true {
→ puts("inner")
→ }
}
줄 길이
한 줄은 100자를 넘지 않도록 합니다.
# 좋은 예
result := calculate_complex_value(arg1, arg2, arg3)
# 나쁜 예 (한 줄이 너무 김)
result := calculate_complex_value(arg1, arg2, arg3) + another_function(x, y, z) * some_multiplier
# 개선
result := calculate_complex_value(arg1, arg2, arg3)
extra := another_function(x, y, z) * some_multiplier
result = result + extra
공백
함수 정의와 구현 사이에 빈 줄을 추가합니다.
# 좋은 예
F first_function() -> i64 {
42
}
F second_function() -> str {
"hello"
}
# 나쁜 예 (빈 줄 없음)
F first_function() -> i64 {
42
}
F second_function() -> str {
"hello"
}
연산자 주변 공백
연산자 주변에 공백을 추가합니다.
# 좋은 예
x := a + b
result := value * factor + offset
I count > 0 {
# ...
}
# 나쁜 예
x := a+b
result := value*factor+offset
I count>0 {
# ...
}
구조체와 함수 구조
구조체 레이아웃
필드는 논리적으로 그룹화합니다.
# 좋은 예
S User {
# 식별 정보
id: i64
name: str
email: str
# 프로필 정보
age: i64
bio: str
# 상태 정보
is_active: bool
created_at: i64
updated_at: i64
}
# 나쁜 예 (순서 무작위)
S User {
name: str
created_at: i64
id: i64
email: str
is_active: bool
age: i64
updated_at: i64
bio: str
}
impl 블록 구조
impl 블록의 메서드를 논리적으로 정렬합니다.
X User {
# 생성자
F new(id: i64, name: str) -> User {
User { id: id, name: name, email: "", age: 0, bio: "", is_active: true, created_at: 0, updated_at: 0 }
}
# 기본 접근자
F get_id(&self) -> i64 = self.id

Rust에서 Vais로 전환하기
개요
Vais는 Rust와 유사한 타입 시스템과 소유권 모델을 가지고 있지만, AI 최적화를 위해 단일 문자 키워드를 사용합니다. Rust 개발자라면 Vais의 핵심 개념이 익숙할 것입니다.
주요 차이점:
- 단일 문자 키워드 (
F,S,E,I,L,M,R등) @연산자로 자기 재귀 표현:=로 변수 바인딩- 간결한 문법 (세미콜론 선택적)
- LLVM 기반 컴파일러
- 완전한 타입 추론

모듈 시스템
모듈 정의와 사용
// Rust
// math.rs
pub fn add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 {

}
pub fn multiply(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 {

표준 라이브러리 사용
// Rust
use std::collections::HashMap;
use std::fs::File;
use std::io::{self, Read};
fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
let mut file = File::open("data.txt")?;
let mut contents = String::new();

R Ok(())
}
자기 재귀 (@ 연산자)
Vais의 독특한 기능 중 하나는 @ 연산자를 사용한 자기 재귀입니다.
// Rust
fn factorial(n: i64) -> i64 {
if n <= 1 {
1
} else {
n * factorial(n - 1)
}
}
fn fibonacci(n: i64) -> i64 {

n
} else {
fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2)
}
}
# Vais
F factorial(n: i64) -> i64 {

}
for 루프 스타일 (iterator)
// Rust
for i in 0..10 {
println!("{}", i);
}
for item in vec.iter() {
println!("{}", item);
}
# Vais
# Range iterator 사용
range := 0..10
L {

마무리
Vais는 Rust의 강력한 타입 시스템과 소유권 모델을 유지하면서도 더 간결한 문법을 제공합니다. 주요 차이점은:
- 단일 문자 키워드: 코드 길이 단축 및 AI 최적화
@연산자: 재귀 호출을 명시적으로 표현:=바인딩:let대신 간결한 표기- 표현식 중심: 대부분의 구문이 값을 반환
- 간소화된 모듈 시스템:
U키워드로 통합
Rust 개발자라면 Vais의 학습 곡선이 매우 낮을 것입니다. 기존 Rust 코드를 Vais로 포팅할 때는 주로 키워드만 변경하면 됩니다.

이 Cookbook은 Vais 언어의 주요 패턴과 관용구를 다룹니다. 더 많은 예제와 심화 내용은 Language Guide와 Standard Library API를 참고하세요.
테스팅 가이드
Vais 프로그램의 품질을 보장하기 위한 테스트 작성 방법을 안내합니다.
개요
Vais는 다양한 수준의 테스트를 지원합니다:
- 단위 테스트: 개별 함수와 모듈의 동작 검증
- 통합 테스트: 여러 모듈 간 상호작용 검증
- 속성 기반 테스트: 무작위 입력으로 속성 검증
- E2E 테스트: 컴파일부터 실행까지 전체 파이프라인 검증
- 벤치마킹: 성능 측정 및 회귀 감지
단위 테스트
기본 테스트 함수
Vais에서 테스트 함수는 test_ 접두사로 시작하는 함수로 작성합니다:
# math.vais
F add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 {
a + b
}
F test_add_positive() {
assert_eq(add(2, 3), 5)
}
F test_add_negative() {
assert_eq(add(-5, 3), -2)
}
F test_add_zero() {
assert_eq(add(0, 0), 0)
}
Assert 빌트인
Vais는 다음 assert 빌트인을 제공합니다:
# 조건 검증
assert(condition)
assert(x > 0)
# 값 동등성 검증
assert_eq(actual, expected)
assert_eq(result, 42)
# 부동소수점 근사 비교 (epsilon: 1e-10)
assert_approx(3.14159, pi(), 0.0001)
구조체 테스트
S Point {
x: i64,
y: i64
}
F Point::distance_squared(self) -> i64 {
self.x * self.x + self.y * self.y
}
F test_point_distance() {
p := Point { x: 3, y: 4 }
assert_eq(p.distance_squared(), 25)
}
F test_point_origin() {
origin := Point { x: 0, y: 0 }
assert_eq(origin.distance_squared(), 0)
}
Enum 및 패턴 매칭 테스트
E Result<T, E> {
Ok(T),
Err(E)
}
F divide(a: i64, b: i64) -> Result<i64, str> {
I b == 0 {
R Result::Err("division by zero")
}
Result::Ok(a / b)
}
F test_divide_success() {
result := divide(10, 2)
M result {
Result::Ok(val) => assert_eq(val, 5),
Result::Err(_) => assert(false)
}
}
F test_divide_by_zero() {
result := divide(10, 0)
M result {
Result::Ok(_) => assert(false),
Result::Err(msg) => assert_eq(msg, "division by zero")
}
}
통합 테스트
모듈 간 테스트
여러 모듈을 조합하여 테스트합니다:
# tests/integration_test.vais
U std/vec
U std/string
F test_vec_operations() {
v := Vec::new()
v.push(10)
v.push(20)
v.push(30)

assert_eq(v.get(0), 10)
assert_eq(v.get(2), 30)
}
F test_string_manipulation() {
s := String::from("hello")
s.push_str(" world")
assert_eq(s.len(), 11)

속성 기반 테스트
vais-testgen 크레이트를 사용하여 속성 기반 테스트를 작성할 수 있습니다:
U vais_testgen/property
# 속성: 리스트를 정렬한 후 뒤집으면 내림차순 정렬과 같다
F prop_sort_reverse() {
gen := property::list_i64(100)
property::check(gen, |xs| {
sorted := xs.sort()
reversed := sorted.reverse()
descending := xs.sort_by(|a, b| b - a)
assert_eq(reversed, descending)
})
}
# 속성: 문자열 연결은 결합법칙을 만족한다
F prop_string_concat_associative() {
gen := property::string_gen(50)
property::check_triple(gen, |a, b, c| {
left := a.concat(b).concat(c)
right := a.concat(b.concat(c))
assert_eq(left, right)
})
}

에러 처리 모범 사례
개요
Vais는 예외(exceptions) 대신 명시적인 에러 타입을 사용하는 시스템 프로그래밍 언어입니다. 모든 실패 가능한 연산은 Result<T, E> 또는 Option<T> 타입을 반환하여 컴파일 타임에 에러 처리를 강제합니다.
핵심 원칙
- 명시성: 함수 시그니처에서 에러 가능성이 드러남
- 타입 안전성: 컴파일러가 처리되지 않은 에러를 감지
- 제로 비용 추상화: 런타임 오버헤드 없음
Result<T, E> 패턴
기본 구조
Result enum은 성공(Ok)과 실패(Err) 두 가지 상태를 표현합니다:
E Result<T, E> {
Ok(T),
Err(E)
}
함수에서 Result 반환
U std.io
F read_config(path: str) -> Result<str, str> {
file := open(path)?
content := read_to_string(file)?
close(file)
Result.Ok(content)
}
? 연산자로 에러 전파
? 연산자는 Result가 Err일 때 즉시 함수에서 반환합니다:
F parse_and_process(data: str) -> Result<i64, str> {
# parse가 실패하면 즉시 Err 반환
num := parse_i64(data)?
# 검증 실패 시 커스텀 에러
I num < 0 {
R Result.Err("음수는 허용되지 않습니다")
}
Result.Ok(num * 2)
}
! 연산자로 언래핑
! 연산자는 Ok 값을 추출하고, Err일 경우 패닉을 발생시킵니다:
F main() -> i64 {
# 확실히 성공하는 경우에만 사용
config := read_config("app.conf")!
print_str(config)
0
}
주의: !는 프로토타입이나 테스트 코드에서만 사용하고, 프로덕션 코드에서는 명시적 처리를 권장합니다.
M (match)로 Result 처리
F safe_divide(a: i64, b: i64) -> Result<i64, str> {
I b == 0 {
R Result.Err("0으로 나눌 수 없습니다")
}
Result.Ok(a / b)
}
F main() -> i64 {
result := safe_divide(10, 2)
M result {
Result.Ok(value) => {
print_str("결과: ")
print_i64(value)
},
Result.Err(err) => {
print_str("에러: ")
print_str(err)
}
}
0
}
Option<T> 패턴
기본 구조
Option은 값이 있을 수도 없을 수도 있는 상황을 표현합니다:
E Option<T> {
Some(T),
None
}
널 안전성
F find_user(id: i64) -> Option<str> {
I id == 1 {
R Option.Some("Alice")
}
Option.None
}
F main() -> i64 {
user := find_user(1)
M user {
Option.Some(name) => {
print_str("찾은 사용자: ")
print_str(name)
},
Option.None => {
print_str("사용자를 찾을 수 없습니다")
}
}
0
}
?와 ! 연산자 사용
F get_first_char(s: str) -> Option<i64> {
I strlen(s) == 0 {
R Option.None
}
Option.Some(load_byte(s, 0))
}
F process_string(s: str) -> Option<i64> {
# Option에서도 ? 연산자 사용 가능
first := get_first_char(s)?
Option.Some(first + 1)
}
F main() -> i64 {
# ! 연산자로 Some 값 추출 (None이면 패닉)
ch := get_first_char("Hello")!
print_i64(ch)
0
}
커스텀 에러 타입
에러 enum 정의
E FileError {
NotFound(str),
PermissionDenied(str),
IoError(str)
}
F read_file(path: str) -> Result<str, FileError> {
I !file_exists(path) {
R Result.Err(FileError.NotFound(path))
}
I !can_read(path) {
R Result.Err(FileError.PermissionDenied(path))
}
# 실제 읽기 로직...
Result.Ok("file content")
}
에러 변환 패턴
E ParseError {
InvalidFormat(str),
OutOfRange(i64)
}
F parse_positive_number(s: str) -> Result<i64, ParseError> {
# 기본 파싱
M parse_i64(s) {
Result.Ok(num) => {
I num < 0 {
R Result.Err(ParseError.OutOfRange(num))
}
Result.Ok(num)
},
Result.Err(_) => {
Result.Err(ParseError.InvalidFormat(s))
}
}
}
에러 전파 패턴
? 체이닝
U std.io
F load_and_parse_config(path: str) -> Result<i64, str> {
content := read_file(path)?
trimmed := trim(content)?
number := parse_i64(trimmed)?
Result.Ok(number)
}
파이프라인에서의 에러 처리
F process_data(input: str) -> Result<i64, str> {
input
|> validate_input
|> parse_number
|> transform_value
}
F validate_input(s: str) -> Result<str, str> {
I strlen(s) == 0 {
R Result.Err("빈 입력")
}
Result.Ok(s)
}
F parse_number(s: str) -> Result<i64, str> {
parse_i64(s)
}
F transform_value(n: i64) -> Result<i64, str> {
Result.Ok(n * 2)
}
모범 사례
1. 라이브러리 vs 애플리케이션 에러 처리
라이브러리 코드: 항상 Result를 반환하여 호출자가 결정하도록 합니다.
# ✅ 좋은 예: 라이브러리 함수
F lib_parse(data: str) -> Result<i64, str> {
I strlen(data) == 0 {
R Result.Err("빈 데이터")
}
parse_i64(data)
}
애플리케이션 코드: 최상위에서 에러를 처리하거나 의미 있는 에러 메시지를 제공합니다.
# ✅ 좋은 예: 애플리케이션 엔트리포인트
F main() -> i64 {
M run_app() {
Result.Ok(_) => {
print_str("성공적으로 완료되었습니다")
0
},
Result.Err(e) => {
print_str("에러: ")
print_str(e)
1
}
}
}
F run_app() -> Result<i64, str> {
config := load_config()?
data := process_data(config)?
Result.Ok(data)
}
2. 에러 메시지 가이드라인
구체적이고 실행 가능한 정보를 제공하세요:
# ❌ 나쁜 예
F open_file(path: str) -> Result<File, str> {
Result.Err("에러 발생")
}
# ✅ 좋은 예
F open_file(path: str) -> Result<File, str> {
I !file_exists(path) {
R Result.Err("파일을 찾을 수 없습니다: " + path)
}
# ...
}
3. 절대 하지 말아야 할 것들
에러 무시하지 않기:
# ❌ 절대 금지
F bad_example() -> i64 {
_ := might_fail() # 에러 무시!
0
}
# ✅ 올바른 방법
F good_example() -> Result<i64, str> {
might_fail()?
Result.Ok(0)
}
과도한 ! 사용 금지:
# ❌ 나쁜 예: 프로덕션 코드에서 !
F process() -> i64 {
data := read_file("data.txt")!
parse_i64(data)!
}
# ✅ 좋은 예: 명시적 에러 처리
F process() -> Result<i64, str> {
data := read_file("data.txt")?
parse_i64(data)
}
실전 예제
파일 읽기 에러 처리
U std.io
E FileError {
NotFound(str),
ReadError(str)
}
F read_config_file(path: str) -> Result<str, FileError> {
# 파일 존재 확인
I !file_exists(path) {
R Result.Err(FileError.NotFound(path))
}
# 파일 열기
file := M open(path) {
Result.Ok(f) => f,
Result.Err(e) => {
R Result.Err(FileError.ReadError(e))
}
}
# 내용 읽기
content := M read_to_string(file) {
Result.Ok(c) => c,
Result.Err(e) => {
close(file)
R Result.Err(FileError.ReadError(e))
}
}
close(file)
Result.Ok(content)
}
F main() -> i64 {
M read_config_file("config.txt") {
Result.Ok(content) => {
print_str("설정 파일 내용: ")
print_str(content)
0
},
Result.Err(FileError.NotFound(path)) => {
print_str("파일을 찾을 수 없습니다: ")
print_str(path)
1
},
Result.Err(FileError.ReadError(msg)) => {
print_str("읽기 에러: ")
print_str(msg)
2
}
}
}
네트워크 요청 에러 처리
U std.net
E HttpError {
ConnectionFailed(str),
Timeout,
InvalidResponse(i64)
}
F fetch_data(url: str) -> Result<str, HttpError> {
# 연결 시도
conn := M connect(url) {
Result.Ok(c) => c,
Result.Err(e) => {
R Result.Err(HttpError.ConnectionFailed(e))
}
}
# 요청 전송 (타임아웃 5초)
response := M send_request(conn, 5000) {
Result.Ok(r) => r,
Result.Err("timeout") => {
R Result.Err(HttpError.Timeout)
},
Result.Err(e) => {
R Result.Err(HttpError.ConnectionFailed(e))
}
}
# 상태 코드 확인
status := get_status_code(response)
I status != 200 {
R Result.Err(HttpError.InvalidResponse(status))
}
Result.Ok(read_response_body(response))
}
파싱 에러 처리
E JsonError {
SyntaxError(i64, str), # line, message
TypeError(str)
}
F parse_user_json(json: str) -> Result<User, JsonError> {
# JSON 파싱
obj := M parse_json(json) {
Result.Ok(o) => o,
Result.Err(msg) => {
line := find_error_line(json, msg)
R Result.Err(JsonError.SyntaxError(line, msg))
}
}
# 필드 추출
name := M get_string_field(obj, "name") {
Result.Ok(n) => n,
Result.Err(_) => {
R Result.Err(JsonError.TypeError("name 필드가 없거나 문자열이 아닙니다"))
}
}
age := M get_i64_field(obj, "age") {
Result.Ok(a) => a,
Result.Err(_) => {
R Result.Err(JsonError.TypeError("age 필드가 없거나 숫자가 아닙니다"))
}
}
Result.Ok(User { name: name, age: age })
}
S User {
name: str,
age: i64
}
요약
Vais의 에러 처리는 다음 원칙을 따릅니다:
- 명시적 타입:
Result<T, E>와Option<T>로 실패 가능성 표현 ?연산자: 에러 전파를 간결하게!연산자: 프로토타입/테스트 전용, 프로덕션에서는 신중히- 패턴 매칭:
M으로 모든 경우를 처리 - 커스텀 에러 타입: 도메인 특화 에러로 명확성 향상
이러한 패턴을 통해 Vais는 안전하고 유지보수 가능한 시스템 프로그래밍을 지원합니다.

- Core regex syntax (., *, +, ?, [], ^, $, |)
- Character classes ([a-z], [^abc])
- Anchors (^, $)
- Alternation (|)
- Grouping (())
- Backtracking-based matching
Usage:
U vais_regex.{compile, match}
pattern := compile("^[a-z]+@[a-z]+\\.[a-z]+$")
I match(pattern, "user@example.com") {
print("Valid email")
} E {
print("Invalid email")
}
Implementation: NFA-based state machine with backtracking for alternation and grouping.

트러블슈팅 & FAQ
이 문서는 Vais 개발 중 자주 발생하는 문제와 해결 방법, 자주 묻는 질문을 다룹니다.
자주 발생하는 컴파일 에러
E001: Type mismatch (타입 불일치)
원인: 함수나 연산자가 기대하는 타입과 전달된 값의 타입이 다릅니다.
예시:
F add(x: i64, y: i64) -> i64 {
R x + y
}
F main() {
result := add(5, "hello") # E001: 기대 i64, 실제 str
}
해결법:
- 타입을 명시적으로 확인하고 올바른 타입의 값을 전달하세요.
- 필요시 타입 변환을 수행하세요.
F main() {
result := add(5, 10) # 올바름
}
특수 케이스:
()(void) vsi64:store_i64()는 void 반환이므로I cond { store_i64(...); 0 } E { 0 }형태로 작성- match arm에서 서로 다른 타입 반환 시 phi node 충돌 가능
E002: Undefined variable (정의되지 않은 변수)
원인: 선언되지 않은 변수를 사용하려고 했습니다.
예시:
F main() {
print(x) # E002: x가 정의되지 않음
}
해결법:
- 변수를 사용하기 전에
:=로 선언하세요.
F main() {
x := 42
print(x) # 올바름
}
E003: Undefined type (정의되지 않은 타입)
원인: 선언되지 않은 타입을 참조했습니다.
예시:
F process(data: MyStruct) { # E003: MyStruct가 정의되지 않음
# ...
}
해결법:
- 타입을 사용하기 전에
S(struct) 또는E(enum)으로 정의하세요. - 표준 라이브러리 타입은
U std/xxx로 import하세요.
S MyStruct {
value: i64
}
F process(data: MyStruct) { # 올바름
# ...
}
E004: Undefined function (정의되지 않은 함수)
원인: 선언되지 않은 함수를 호출하려고 했습니다.
예시:
F main() {
result := calculate(5) # E004: calculate가 정의되지 않음
}
해결법:
- 함수를 호출하기 전에
F로 정의하거나 import하세요.
F calculate(x: i64) -> i64 {
R x * 2
}
F main() {
result := calculate(5) # 올바름
}
E005: Not callable (호출할 수 없는 값)
원인: 함수가 아닌 값에 () 호출 구문을 사용했습니다.
예시:
F main() {
x := 42
x() # E005: i64는 호출할 수 없음
}
해결법:
- 함수만 호출할 수 있습니다. 변수가 함수 포인터인지 확인하세요.
E006: Argument count mismatch (인수 개수 불일치)
원인: 함수 호출 시 전달한 인수의 개수가 함수 정의와 다릅니다.
예시:
F add(x: i64, y: i64) -> i64 {
R x + y
}
F main() {
result := add(5) # E006: 2개 기대, 1개 전달
}
해결법:
- 함수 시그니처에 맞춰 정확한 개수의 인수를 전달하세요.
F main() {
result := add(5, 10) # 올바름
}
E007: Cannot infer type (타입 추론 실패)
원인: 컴파일러가 표현식의 타입을 추론할 수 없습니다.
예시:
F main() {
x := [] # E007: 빈 배열의 타입을 추론할 수 없음
}
해결법:
- 명시적으로 타입을 지정하세요.
F main() {
x: [i64] = [] # 올바름
}
E008: Duplicate definition (중복 정의)
원인: 같은 이름의 함수, 변수, 타입이 중복으로 정의되었습니다.
예시:
F foo() { }
F foo() { } # E008: foo가 중복 정의됨
해결법:
- 각 심볼에 고유한 이름을 사용하세요.
E009: Immutable assign (불변 변수에 대입 시도)
원인: mut 없이 선언된 변수에 새 값을 대입하려고 했습니다.
예시:
F main() {
x := 5
x = 10 # E009: x는 불변
}
해결법:
- 변수를 변경 가능하게 선언하려면
:= mut를 사용하세요.
F main() {
x := mut 5
x = 10 # 올바름
}
E010: Non-exhaustive match (패턴 매칭 불완전)
원인: match 표현식이 모든 가능한 케이스를 처리하지 않습니다.
예시:
E Status {
Ok,
Error,
Pending
}
F main() {
status := Status.Ok
M status {
Status.Ok => print("ok"),
Status.Error => print("error")
# E010: Pending 케이스가 누락됨
}
}
해결법:
- 모든 케이스를 처리하거나
_(와일드카드)를 추가하세요.
F main() {
status := Status.Ok
M status {
Status.Ok => print("ok"),
Status.Error => print("error"),
_ => print("other") # 올바름
}
}
E016: Move after use (이동 후 사용)
원인: 값이 이동된 후 다시 사용하려고 했습니다.
예시:
F take_ownership(s: str) {
print(s)
}
F main() {
x := "hello"
take_ownership(x)
print(x) # E016: x는 이미 이동됨
}
해결법:
- 복사 가능한 타입을 사용하거나, 참조를 전달하거나, 값을 복제하세요.
E022: Use after move (이동된 값 사용)
원인: 소유권이 이동된 값을 다시 사용하려고 했습니다.
예시:
F main() {
s := "test"
len := strlen(s)
memcpy_str(dest, src, s) # E022: s는 이미 strlen에서 move됨
}
해결법:
str_to_ptr(s)로 포인터 변환 후 사용하거나, 순서를 조정하세요.
F main() {
s := "test"
ptr := str_to_ptr(s)
len := calculate_length(ptr)
# 포인터 기반 연산 사용
}
E024: Assign while borrowed (차용 중 대입)
원인: 값이 차용(borrow)된 상태에서 대입을 시도했습니다.
예시:
F main() {
x := mut 5
r := &x
x = 10 # E024: x가 r에 의해 차용됨
print(r)
}
해결법:
- 차용이 끝난 후 대입하세요.
E026: Borrow conflict (차용 충돌)
원인: 불변 차용과 가변 차용이 동시에 존재하거나, 가변 차용이 여러 개 존재합니다.
해결법:
- 차용 스코프를 조정하여 충돌을 피하세요.
E030: No such field (존재하지 않는 필드)
원인: 구조체에 존재하지 않는 필드에 접근하려고 했습니다.
예시:
S Point {
x: i64,
y: i64
}
F main() {
p := Point { x: 1, y: 2 }
print(p.z) # E030: Point에 z 필드가 없음
}
해결법:
- 올바른 필드 이름을 사용하거나, 필요하면 구조체 정의에 필드를 추가하세요.
F main() {
p := Point { x: 1, y: 2 }
print(p.x) # 올바름
}
링크 에러
undefined symbol
원인: LLVM IR에서 참조한 함수가 링크 단계에서 찾을 수 없습니다.
예시:
undefined symbol: _my_external_function
해결법:
- C 함수는
extern F로 선언하세요. - 라이브러리 링크가 필요하면
-l플래그를 추가하세요.
extern F puts(s: i64) -> i64
F main() {
puts(str_to_ptr("hello"))
}
컴파일 시:
vaisc myfile.vais -o myfile
LLVM not found
원인: LLVM 17이 시스템에 설치되지 않았거나 PATH에 없습니다.
해결법:
macOS (Homebrew):
brew install llvm@17
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/llvm@17/bin:$PATH"
export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/opt/llvm@17/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/opt/llvm@17/include"
Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install llvm-17 llvm-17-dev clang-17
빌드 후 확인:
llvm-config --version # 17.x.x 출력 확인
cargo build
clang linking errors
원인: clang이 생성된 LLVM IR을 실행 파일로 링크하지 못했습니다.
해결법:
- clang이 설치되어 있는지 확인하세요.
- 플랫폼별 링커 옵션이 필요할 수 있습니다.
which clang # clang 경로 확인
런타임 에러
Segmentation fault (Segfault)
원인:
- 널 포인터 역참조
- 배열 범위를 벗어난 접근
- 잘못된 메모리 주소 접근
- 해제된 메모리 접근
디버깅:
# LLDB (macOS)
lldb ./myprogram
run
bt # 백트레이스
# GDB (Linux)
gdb ./myprogram
run
bt
예방법:
- 포인터 사용 전 널 체크
- 배열 인덱스 범위 검증
- 메모리 해제 후 포인터를 다시 사용하지 않기
F safe_access(arr: [i64], idx: i64) -> i64 {
I idx < 0 || idx >= arr.len() {
R 0 # 기본값 반환
}
R arr[idx]
}
Stack overflow
원인: 무한 재귀 또는 너무 깊은 재귀 호출.
예시:
F infinite() {
@() # 자기 재귀, 종료 조건 없음
}
해결법:
- 재귀 함수에 기저 조건(base case)을 추가하세요.
F factorial(n: i64) -> i64 {
I n <= 1 {
R 1 # 기저 조건
}
R n * @(n - 1)
}
Memory leaks
원인: malloc으로 할당한 메모리를 free하지 않았습니다.
예방법:
- RAII 패턴 사용
- 스코프가 끝날 때 리소스 해제
- GC 크레이트 활성화 고려 (
vais-gc)
자주 묻는 질문 (FAQ)
:= vs =의 차이는?
:=(콜론-등호): 새 변수 선언 및 바인딩 (let binding)=(등호): 기존 변수에 새 값 대입 (reassignment)
F main() {
x := 5 # 새 변수 선언
x = 10 # E009: x는 불변이므로 에러
y := mut 5 # 가변 변수 선언
y = 10 # 올바름: 재할당 가능
}
mut 없이 재할당하면?
E009 에러가 발생합니다. Vais는 기본적으로 불변(immutable)입니다.
F main() {
counter := 0
counter = counter + 1 # E009 에러
}
해결법: := mut로 선언하세요.
F main() {
counter := mut 0
counter = counter + 1 # 올바름
}
E 키워드가 else와 enum 둘 다?
네, 문맥에 따라 달라집니다.
else로 사용:
I x > 0 {
print("positive")
} E {
print("non-positive")
}
enum으로 사용:
E Status {
Ok,
Error
}
파서가 문맥을 통해 자동으로 구분합니다.
@ 자기 재귀란?
@는 현재 함수를 재귀 호출하는 연산자입니다. 함수 이름을 반복하지 않아도 됩니다.
F factorial(n: i64) -> i64 {
I n <= 1 {
R 1
}
R n * @(n - 1) # factorial(n - 1)과 동일
}
장점:
- 함수 이름 변경 시 재귀 호출 수정 불필요
- 코드가 간결해짐
Vais에 GC(가비지 컬렉션)가 있나요?
기본적으로 없습니다. Vais는 수동 메모리 관리(malloc/free)를 사용합니다.
옵션:
vais-gc크레이트를 활성화하면 선택적 GC 사용 가능- 소유권(ownership) 시스템이 메모리 안전성을 제공
# 수동 관리
F main() {
ptr := malloc(1024)
# ... 사용 ...
free(ptr)
}
LLVM 버전 요구사항은?
LLVM 17이 필요합니다. Vais는 inkwell 0.4 (LLVM 17 바인딩)를 사용합니다.
확인 방법:
llvm-config --version
# 17.x.x 출력되어야 함
다른 버전 사용 시 빌드 에러가 발생할 수 있습니다.
Rust와 Vais의 차이는?
| 특징 | Vais | Rust |
|---|---|---|
| 키워드 | 단일 문자 (F, S, E, I) | 다중 문자 (fn, struct, enum, if) |
| 타입 추론 | 완전 추론 (100%) | 거의 완전 (일부 명시 필요) |
| 메모리 | 수동 + 소유권 | 소유권 + 빌림 검사기 |
| 백엔드 | LLVM IR 직접 생성 | LLVM IR via rustc |
| 재귀 | @ 연산자 | 함수 이름 직접 호출 |
| 목표 | AI 친화적 시스템 언어 | 안전한 시스템 언어 |
반복문에서 R과 B의 차이는?
R(return): 함수 전체에서 반환 (루프 포함)B(break): 현재 루프만 탈출
F find_value(arr: [i64], target: i64) -> i64 {
i := mut 0
L {
I i >= arr.len() {
B # 루프 탈출
}
I arr[i] == target {
R i # 함수에서 반환
}
i = i + 1
}
R -1 # 루프 후 기본 반환값
}
주의: I cond { R 0 } 패턴은 루프를 벗어나는 게 아니라 함수를 종료합니다.
구조체 리터럴과 if 블록 구분은?
파서는 첫 문자가 대문자(A-Z)인지로 구분합니다.
# 구조체 리터럴 (첫 문자 대문자)
point := Point { x: 1, y: 2 }
# if 블록 (소문자 변수)
I condition {
# ...
}
연산자 우선순위는?
비교 (==, !=) > 비트 연산 (&, |)
# 주의: 괄호 필요
I (val >> bit) & 1 == 1 { # 잘못된 파싱
# ...
}
# 올바른 방법:
masked := (val >> bit) & 1
I masked == 1 {
# ...
}
표준 라이브러리 import가 E2E에서 안 되는데?
E2E 테스트에서는 U std/xxx import가 제한될 수 있습니다.
해결법: 필요한 로직을 테스트 파일에 인라인으로 작성하세요.
# import 대신
# U std/math
# 직접 구현
F abs(x: i64) -> i64 {
I x < 0 { R -x }
R x
}

3.14 # Float
"hello" # String
true # Boolean

Function Calls
add(1, 2)
compute(x, y, z)
obj.method()
Ternary Conditional
condition ? true_value : false_value
x > 0 ? x : -x # Absolute value
Array/Index Access
arr[0]
data[i * 2 + 1]
Member Access
point.x
counter.value
obj.method()
Self-Recursion
The @ operator calls the current function recursively:
F fib(n:i64)->i64 = n<2 ? n : @(n-1) + @(n-2)
Equivalent to:
F fib(n:i64)->i64 = n<2 ? n : fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)
Pipe Operator
The |> operator passes the left-hand value as the first argument to the right-hand function:
# x |> f is equivalent to f(x)
result := 5 |> double |> add_one
# Chaining multiple transformations
F double(x: i64) -> i64 = x * 2
F add_one(x: i64) -> i64 = x + 1
F main() -> i64 = 5 |> double |> add_one # 11
String Interpolation
Embed expressions inside string literals with ~{expr}:
name := "World"
println("Hello, ~{name}!") # Variable
println("Sum: ~{2 + 3}") # Expression
println("Escaped: {{braces}}") # Literal braces with {{ }}
Tuple Destructuring
Unpack tuple values into multiple variables:
(a, b) := get_pair()
(x, y, z) := (1, 2, 3)
Block Expressions
Blocks are expressions that return the value of their last expression:
{
x := 10
y := 20
x + y # Returns 30
}
Auto-Return
Functions in Vais automatically return the value of their last expression. No explicit R (return) is needed unless early return is required:
F add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 {
a + b # Automatically returned
}
F max(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 {
I a > b {
a # Each branch returns its last expression
} E {
b
}
}
# Explicit R is only needed for early return
F safe_divide(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 {
I b == 0 {
R 0 # Early return
}
a / b # Auto-returned
}
This applies to all block expressions including I/E, M, and L.

}
}
Parameters
F example(x: i64, y: f64, name: str) -> i64 { ... }
Parameter Type Inference
Parameter types can be omitted when they can be inferred from call sites:
# Types inferred from usage
F add(a, b) = a + b
# Mixed: some explicit, some inferred
F scale(x, factor: f64) -> f64 = x * factor
# The compiler infers types from how the function is called
F main() -> i64 {
add(1, 2) # a: i64, b: i64 inferred
scale(3.0, 2.0) # x: f64 inferred
0
}
Return Types
F returns_int() -> i64 { 42 }
F returns_nothing() -> i64 { 0 } # Convention: 0 for void
Generic Functions
F identity<T>(x: T) -> T = x
F swap<A, B>(a: A, b: B) -> (B, A) {
(b, a)
}
Self-Recursion
F fib(n:i64)->i64 = n<2 ? n : @(n-1) + @(n-2)
F countdown(n:i64)->i64 = n<1 ? 0 : @(n-1)
External Functions
Declare C functions with X F:
X F puts(s: i64) -> i64
X F malloc(size: i64) -> i64
X F sqrt(x: f64) -> f64

Enums
Enum Definition
Simple enum:
E Color {
Red,
Green,
Blue
}
Enum with data:
E Option {
None,
Some(i64)
}
E Result {
Ok(i64),
Err(str)
}
Enum Usage
color := Red
opt := Some(42)
err := Err("file not found")
Enum Implementation Blocks
Enums can have methods just like structs:
E Color {
Red,
Green,
Blue
}
X Color {
F is_warm(&self) -> bool {
M self {
Red => true,
Green => false,
Blue => false,
_ => false
}
}
F to_hex(&self) -> str {
M self {
Red => "#FF0000",
Green => "#00FF00",
Blue => "#0000FF",
_ => "#000000"
}
}
}
# Usage
F main() -> i64 {
c := Red
I c.is_warm() {
puts("This is a warm color")
}
puts(c.to_hex())
0
}
Error Handling
Vais uses a Result/Option-based error handling system without traditional try-catch blocks. Error handling is done through the ? (try) and ! (unwrap) operators.
The ? Operator (Error Propagation)
The ? operator is used to propagate errors to the caller. When applied to a Result<T, E> or Option<T>, it:
- Returns the inner value if
Ok(value)orSome(value) - Early-returns the error/None to the calling function if
Err(e)orNone
E Result<T, E> {
Ok(T),
Err(E)
}
F read_file(path: str) -> Result<str, str> {
# If open fails, propagate the error immediately
file := open(path)?
# If read fails, propagate the error
data := file.read()?
# Success case
Ok(data)
}
F process() -> Result<i64, str> {
# The ? operator automatically propagates errors
content := read_file("config.txt")?
# Continue processing if no error
Ok(parse(content))
}
The ! Operator (Unwrap)
The ! operator forcefully extracts the value from a Result or Option. If the value is Err or None, the program will panic:
# Unwrap an Option - panics if None
value := some_option!
# Unwrap a Result - panics if Err
data := some_result!
# Example usage
F get_config() -> Option<str> {
# ... returns Some(config) or None
}
F main() -> i64 {
# This panics if get_config returns None
config := get_config()!
puts(config)
0
}
Error Type Derivation
Use #[derive(Error)] to automatically implement error traits:
#[derive(Error)]
E AppError {
NotFound(str),
Permission(str),
Network(str)
}
F find_user(id: i64) -> Result<str, AppError> {
I id < 0 {
Err(NotFound("User ID cannot be negative"))
} E {
Ok("User data")
}
}
Standard Library Error Module
Vais provides std/error.vais with common error handling utilities (similar to Rust's anyhow and thiserror):
U std/error
# Error trait implementation
F handle_errors() -> Result<i64, str> {
data := read_file("data.txt")?
result := process(data)?
Ok(result)
}
Traits and Implementations
Trait Definition
W Printable {
F print(&self) -> i64
}
W Comparable {
F compare(&self, other: &Self) -> i64
}
Trait Implementation
S Counter {
value: i64
}
X Counter: Printable {
F print(&self) -> i64 {
puts("Counter value:")
print_i64(self.value)
0
}
}
Method Implementation (without trait)
X Counter {
F increment(&self) -> i64 {
self.value + 1
}
F double(&self) -> i64 {
self.value * 2
}
}
Calling Methods
c := Counter { value: 42 }
c.print()
inc := c.increment()
dbl := c.double()
Pattern Matching
Basic Match
F classify(n: i64) -> str {
M n {
0 => "zero",
1 => "one",
_ => "other"
}
}
Match with Binding
F describe(opt: Option) -> i64 {
M opt {
Some(x) => x,
None => 0
}
}
Match with Guards
M value {
x if x > 0 => "positive",
x if x < 0 => "negative",
_ => "zero"
}
Pattern Alias
Pattern aliases allow you to bind a name to a matched pattern using the @ operator. This is useful when you need both the matched value and access to the whole pattern:
# Basic pattern alias with range
F describe(n: i64) -> str {
M n {
x @ 1..10 => "small: ~{x}",
x @ 10..100 => "medium: ~{x}",
x @ 100..1000 => "large: ~{x}",
_ => "very large"
}
}
# Pattern alias with enum destructuring
E Option<T> {
None,
Some(T)
}
F process(opt: Option<i64>) -> i64 {
M opt {
val @ Some(x) => {
# 'val' holds the entire Some variant
# 'x' holds the inner value
x * 2
},
None => 0
}
}
# Pattern alias with struct destructuring
S Point {
x: i64,
y: i64
}
F classify_point(p: Point) -> str {
M p {
origin @ Point { x: 0, y: 0 } => "origin",
pt @ Point { x, y } if x == y => "diagonal point",
_ => "other point"
}
}
# Nested pattern aliases
E Result<T, E> {
Ok(T),
Err(E)
}
F handle_result(r: Result<i64, str>) -> str {
M r {
success @ Ok(value) if value > 0 => "positive success",
failure @ Err(msg) => "error: ~{msg}",
_ => "zero or negative"
}
}
The pattern alias x @ pattern syntax binds x to the matched value while also matching against pattern. This is particularly useful when:
- You need to refer to the matched value multiple times
- You want to combine pattern matching with guards
- You need both the whole value and destructured parts
Destructuring
E Result {
Ok(i64),
Err(str)
}
M result {
Ok(value) => value,
Err(msg) => 0
}
Wildcard Pattern
M x {
0 => "zero",
_ => "non-zero" # Matches everything else
}
Generics
Generic Functions
F identity<T>(x: T) -> T = x
F max<T>(a: T, b: T) -> T {
I a > b { a } E { b }
}
Generic Structs
S Pair<T> {
first: T,
second: T
}
S Box<T> {
value: T
}
Generic Enums
E Option<T> {
None,
Some(T)
}
E Result<T, E> {
Ok(T),
Err(E)
}
Generic Constraints (bounds)
# Function requiring trait bound
F print_all<T: Printable>(items: [T]) -> i64 {
L item: items {
item.print()
}
0
}
Where Clauses
Where clauses provide an alternative syntax for specifying generic type constraints, especially useful when constraints are complex or numerous:
# Basic where clause
F find_max<T>(list: Vec<T>) -> T where T: Ord {
result := mut list.get(0)
L i: 1..list.len() {
I list.get(i) > result {
result = list.get(i)
}
}
result
}
# Multiple bounds on a single type
F serialize<T>(val: T) -> str where T: Display, T: Clone {
val.to_string()
}
# Multiple type parameters with bounds
F compare_and_print<T, U>(a: T, b: U) -> i64
where T: Ord, U: Display
{
puts(b.to_string())
I a > a { 1 } E { 0 }
}
# Where clauses with structs
S Container<T> where T: Clone {
value: T
}
Where clauses are especially useful when:
- Type constraints are complex or lengthy
- Multiple type parameters have constraints
- Constraints reference associated types
- You want to separate type parameters from their constraints for readability

U std/math
U std/io
# Import custom module
U mymodule
Using Imported Items

pi := PI # Constant from math
result := sqrt(16.0) # Function from math
puts("Square root: ")
print_f64(result)
0
}
Module Paths

Async/Await
Async Function Definition
A F compute(x: i64) -> i64 {
x * 2
}
A F fetch_data(url: str) -> str {
# ... async operations
result
}
Awaiting Async Functions
F main() -> i64 {
# Call async function and await result
result := compute(21).await
# Using Y shorthand (equivalent to .await)
result2 := compute(21).Y
# Chain async calls
data := fetch_data("example.com").Y
0
}
Spawning Tasks
# Spawn a task (runs concurrently)
task := spawn compute(42)
# Later, await the result
result := task.await
Iterators and Generators
The yield Keyword
The yield keyword is used to produce values in iterators and coroutines. In the current simplified implementation, yield returns a value from the iteration:
F counter(max: i64) -> i64 {
L i: 0..max {
yield i
}
0
}
F fibonacci(n: i64) -> i64 {
a := 0
b := 1
L i: 0..n {
yield a
tmp := a + b
a = b
b = tmp
}
0
}
Iterator Protocol
Vais implements an iterator protocol similar to Rust's Iterator trait. Collections can be iterated using the standard for-loop syntax:
# Iterate over a range
L i: 0..10 {
puts("Value: ")
print_i64(i)
}
# Iterate over an array
items := [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
L item: items {
print_i64(item)
}
Iterator Adapters
Vais provides functional iterator adapters for transforming and filtering collections:
iter_map - Transform each element:
items := [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
doubled := iter_map(items, |x| x * 2)
# Result: [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
iter_filter - Keep elements matching a predicate:
numbers := [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
evens := iter_filter(numbers, |x| x % 2 == 0)
# Result: [2, 4, 6]
iter_take - Take first N elements:
data := [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
first_three := iter_take(data, 3)
# Result: [10, 20, 30]
iter_skip - Skip first N elements:
data := [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
after_two := iter_skip(data, 2)
# Result: [30, 40, 50]
iter_chain - Concatenate two iterators:
first := [1, 2, 3]
second := [4, 5, 6]
combined := iter_chain(first, second)
# Result: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
iter_zip - Combine two iterators pairwise:
a := [1, 2, 3]
b := [10, 20, 30]
pairs := iter_zip(a, b)
# Result: [(1, 10), (2, 20), (3, 30)]
iter_enumerate - Add indices to elements:
items := ["a", "b", "c"]
indexed := iter_enumerate(items)
# Result: [(0, "a"), (1, "b"), (2, "c")]
Chaining Iterator Adapters
Iterator adapters can be chained together for complex transformations:
numbers := [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
# Get first 5 even numbers, doubled
result := numbers
|> iter_filter(|x| x % 2 == 0)
|> iter_take(5)
|> iter_map(|x| x * 2)
# Result: [4, 8, 12, 16, 20]
Closures and Lambdas
Basic Closures
Closures (also called lambdas or anonymous functions) are inline function definitions that can capture variables from their surrounding scope:
# Basic closure syntax
add_one := |x| x + 1
# Closure with multiple parameters
multiply := |x, y| x * y
# Closure with block body
complex := |n| {
result := n * 2
result + 10
}
# Using closures with iterator adapters
numbers := [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
doubled := iter_map(numbers, |x| x * 2)
Closure Capture Modes
Closures can capture variables from their surrounding scope in different ways. Vais provides explicit control over how variables are captured:
By Value (Default):
By default, closures capture variables by copying their values:
F main() -> i64 {
x := 42
# Closure captures 'x' by value (copy)
add_x := |n| n + x
result := add_x(10) # Returns 52
# Original 'x' is unchanged
0
}
Move Capture:
The move keyword forces the closure to take ownership of captured variables by moving them into the closure:
F create_consumer() -> i64 {
x := 42
data := allocate_data()
# Move 'x' and 'data' into the closure
consumer := move |n| {
# 'x' and 'data' are now owned by the closure
result := n + x
process(data)
result
}
# Error: 'x' and 'data' have been moved
# Cannot use them here anymore
consumer(10)
}
# Common use case: returning closures
F make_adder(amount: i64) -> |i64| -> i64 {
# Must use 'move' to transfer ownership
move |x| x + amount
}
# Common use case: spawning async tasks
F spawn_worker(task_id: i64) -> i64 {
data := load_task_data(task_id)
# Move 'data' into the spawned task
spawn move |()| {
# 'data' is owned by this task
process_task(data)
0
}
0
}
Capture Mode Summary
| Capture Mode | Syntax | Behavior | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| By Value | |args| body | Copies captured values | Default, when closure doesn't outlive scope |
| Move | move |args| body | Moves ownership into closure | Returning closures, spawning tasks, transferring ownership |
Note: By-reference capture modes (& and &mut) are part of the type system but require advanced lifetime analysis. The current implementation supports by-value and move semantics.
Closure Examples
Using closures with higher-order functions:
# Filter with closure
F get_evens(numbers: [i64]) -> [i64] {
iter_filter(numbers, |x| x % 2 == 0)
}
# Map with closure
F square_all(numbers: [i64]) -> [i64] {
iter_map(numbers, |x| x * x)
}
# Chaining closures
F process_numbers(nums: [i64]) -> [i64] {
nums
|> iter_filter(|x| x > 0)
|> iter_map(|x| x * 2)
|> iter_take(10)
}
Closures capturing multiple variables:
F calculate(base: i64, multiplier: i64) -> i64 {
# Closure captures both 'base' and 'multiplier'
compute := |x| (x + base) * multiplier
compute(5)
}
Move semantics with spawned tasks:
F parallel_process(data: Vec<i64>) -> i64 {
L item: data {
# Each task gets its own copy via move
spawn move |()| {
process_item(item)
0
}
}
0
}
Memory Management
Stack Allocation
Default allocation for local variables:
F main() -> i64 {
x := 10 # Stack allocated
p := Point { x: 1.0, y: 2.0 } # Stack allocated
0
}
Heap Allocation
Use malloc and free:
# Allocate memory
ptr := malloc(64)
# Use memory
store_i64(ptr, 42)
value := load_i64(ptr)
# Free memory
free(ptr)
Smart Pointers
Box (unique ownership):
U std/box
b := Box::new(42)
value := b.get()
Rc (reference counting):
U std/rc
rc := Rc::new(100)
rc2 := rc.clone() # Increment ref count
value := rc.get()
Arena Allocation
U std/arena
arena := Arena::with_capacity(1024)
ptr := arena.alloc(64)
# ... use allocated memory
arena.reset() # Clear all allocations

Best Practices
- Use type inference with
:=when the type is obvious - Use expression forms for simple functions:
F add(a:i64,b:i64)->i64 = a+b - Use self-recursion
@for cleaner recursive functions - Pattern match instead of nested if-else chains
- Leverage generics to reduce code duplication
- Import only needed modules to keep token count low
- Use match exhaustiveness to catch all cases
- Use
|>pipe operator for readable function chaining - Use string interpolation
println("x=~{x}")instead of manual concatenation - Omit parameter types when they can be inferred from call sites
- Use
?operator for error propagation instead of manual match/return - Use iterator adapters (
iter_map,iter_filter, etc.) for functional transformations - Prefer
derive(Error)for custom error types to reduce boilerplate - Use enum impl blocks to add behavior to enums
- Structure projects with
vaisc newandVais.tomlfor better organization

Conclusion
Vais is designed to be a minimal yet powerful systems programming language optimized for AI code generation. Its single-letter keywords, expression-oriented design, and self-recursion operator make it highly token-efficient while maintaining the expressiveness needed for complex systems programming tasks.

Vais 제네릭 및 트레이트 심화 튜토리얼
이 튜토리얼은 Vais의 제네릭 프로그래밍과 트레이트 시스템을 심층적으로 다룹니다. 타입 추론, 모노모피제이션, 그리고 실전 활용법을 배웁니다.
목차
제네릭 개념
제네릭이란?
제네릭은 타입을 매개변수화하여 여러 타입에 대해 동작하는 코드를 작성할 수 있게 합니다.
제네릭 없이:
# i64용 함수
F identity_i64(x: i64) -> i64 = x
# f64용 함수
F identity_f64(x: f64) -> f64 = x
# str용 함수
F identity_str(x: str) -> str = x
# 각 타입마다 중복 코드!
제네릭 사용:
# 하나의 함수로 모든 타입 처리
F identity<T>(x: T) -> T = x
F main() -> i64 {
a := identity(42) # T = i64
b := identity(3.14) # T = f64
c := identity("hello") # T = str
0
}
Vais 제네릭의 특징
- Monomorphization: 컴파일 시 각 사용된 타입에 대해 코드 생성
- Zero-cost Abstraction: 런타임 오버헤드 없음
- 타입 추론: 대부분의 경우 타입 명시 불필요
- 정적 디스패치: 컴파일 타임에 모든 타입 결정
제네릭 함수
기본 제네릭 함수
단일 타입 매개변수:
# 가장 간단한 제네릭 함수
F identity<T>(x: T) -> T = x
# 여러 번 사용
F first<T>(a: T, b: T) -> T = a
F second<T>(a: T, b: T) -> T = b
# 블록 형태
F duplicate<T>(x: T) -> T {
puts("Duplicating value")
x
}
F main() -> i64 {
# 타입 추론 - 명시 불필요
x := identity(100)
y := first(10, 20)
z := duplicate(42)
print_i64(x + y + z) # 152
0
}
다중 타입 매개변수
여러 타입 매개변수를 사용:
# 두 개의 타입 매개변수
F pair<A, B>(a: A, b: B) -> A = a
# 타입이 다른 값들 처리
F first_of_pair<A, B>(a: A, b: B) -> A = a
F second_of_pair<A, B>(a: A, b: B) -> B = b
# 삼중 타입
F choose_first<A, B, C>(a: A, b: B, c: C) -> A = a
F main() -> i64 {
# A=i64, B=f64
x := pair(10, 3.14)
# A=i64, B=str
y := first_of_pair(42, "hello")
# A=i64, B=f64, C=str
z := choose_first(100, 2.5, "world")
print_i64(x + y + z) # 152
0
}
제네릭 함수의 타입 추론
Vais는 대부분의 경우 타입을 자동으로 추론합니다:
F swap<A, B>(a: A, b: B) -> (B, A) {
(b, a)
}
F main() -> i64 {
# 타입 추론: A=i64, B=i64
(x, y) := swap(10, 20)
# 타입 추론: A=i64, B=str
(num, text) := swap(42, "answer")
print_i64(x) # 20
0
}
제네릭과 Self-Recursion
제네릭 함수에서 @ 사용:
# 제네릭 재귀 함수
F repeat<T>(x: T, count: i64) -> T {
I count <= 0 {
x
} E {
@(x, count - 1)
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
result := repeat(42, 5)
print_i64(result) # 42
0
}
제네릭 구조체
기본 제네릭 구조체
# 단일 타입 매개변수
S Box<T> {
value: T
}
# 생성 및 사용
F main() -> i64 {
# Box<i64>
int_box := Box { value: 42 }
# Box<f64>
float_box := Box { value: 3.14 }
print_i64(int_box.value) # 42
0
}
다중 타입 매개변수 구조체
# Pair - 두 개의 값을 담는 구조체
S Pair<T> {
first: T,
second: T
}
# Container - 서로 다른 타입
S Container<K, V> {
key: K,
value: V
}
# Triple - 세 개의 타입
S Triple<A, B, C> {
first: A,
second: B,
third: C
}
F main() -> i64 {
# Pair<i64>
pair := Pair { first: 10, second: 20 }
# Container<i64, str>
container := Container { key: 1, value: "data" }
# Triple<i64, f64, str>
triple := Triple { first: 42, second: 3.14, third: "hello" }
print_i64(pair.first) # 10
0
}
제네릭 구조체 메서드
X 키워드로 제네릭 구조체에 메서드 추가:
S Pair<T> {
first: T,
second: T
}
# Pair에 메서드 구현
X Pair {
# self는 Pair<T> 타입
F sum(&self) -> i64 {
self.first + self.second
}
F swap(&self) -> Pair {
Pair { first: self.second, second: self.first }
}
F first_value(&self) -> T {
self.first
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
p := Pair { first: 10, second: 20 }
# 메서드 호출
total := p.sum() # 30
swapped := p.swap() # Pair { first: 20, second: 10 }
first := p.first_value() # 10
print_i64(total)
print_i64(swapped.first)
print_i64(first)
0
}
중첩 제네릭 구조체
S Box<T> {
value: T
}
S Pair<T> {
first: T,
second: T
}
F main() -> i64 {
# Box<i64>
simple := Box { value: 42 }
# Pair<i64>
pair := Pair { first: 10, second: 20 }
# Box<Pair<i64>> - 중첩 제네릭
boxed_pair := Box {
value: Pair { first: 1, second: 2 }
}
# 접근
inner_pair := boxed_pair.value
first_val := inner_pair.first
print_i64(first_val) # 1
0
}
제네릭 Enum
기본 제네릭 Enum
# Option<T> - 값이 있거나 없음
E Option<T> {
None,
Some(T)
}
# Result<T, E> - 성공 또는 에러
E Result<T, E> {
Ok(T),
Err(E)
}
F main() -> i64 {
# Option<i64>
opt_int := Some(42)
opt_none := None
# Result<i64, str>
result_ok := Ok(100)
result_err := Err("Error message")
0
}
제네릭 Enum 패턴 매칭
E Option<T> {
None,
Some(T)
}
F unwrap_or<T>(opt: Option<T>, default: T) -> T {
M opt {
Some(value) => value,
None => default
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
opt1 := Some(42)
opt2 := None
v1 := unwrap_or(opt1, 0) # 42
v2 := unwrap_or(opt2, 99) # 99
print_i64(v1)
print_i64(v2)
0
}
다중 variant 제네릭 Enum
E Either<L, R> {
Left(L),
Right(R)
}
F process_either<L, R>(either: Either<L, R>) -> i64 {
M either {
Left(l) => {
puts("Got Left")
0
},
Right(r) => {
puts("Got Right")
1
}
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
# Either<i64, str>
left := Left(42)
right := Right("hello")
r1 := process_either(left) # 0
r2 := process_either(right) # 1
print_i64(r1 + r2) # 1
0
}
트레이트 정의와 구현
트레이트 정의
W 키워드로 트레이트(인터페이스) 정의:
# Printable 트레이트
W Printable {
F print(&self) -> i64
}
# Comparable 트레이트
W Comparable {
F compare(&self, other: &Self) -> i64
}
# 여러 메서드를 가진 트레이트
W Drawable {
F draw(&self) -> i64
F erase(&self) -> i64
F move(&self, x: i64, y: i64) -> i64
}
트레이트 구현
X 키워드로 구조체에 트레이트 구현:
W Printable {
F print(&self) -> i64
}
S Point {
x: i64,
y: i64
}
# Point에 Printable 구현
X Point: Printable {
F print(&self) -> i64 {
puts("Point(")
print_i64(self.x)
puts(", ")
print_i64(self.y)
puts(")")
putchar(10)
0
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
p := Point { x: 10, y: 20 }
p.print() # Point(10, 20)
0
}
여러 트레이트 구현
W Printable {
F print(&self) -> i64
}
W Resettable {
F reset(&self) -> i64
}
S Counter {
value: i64
}
# Printable 구현
X Counter: Printable {
F print(&self) -> i64 {
puts("Counter: ")
print_i64(self.value)
putchar(10)
0
}
}
# Resettable 구현
X Counter: Resettable {
F reset(&self) -> i64 {
self.value = 0
0
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
c := Counter { value: 42 }
c.print() # Counter: 42
c.reset()
c.print() # Counter: 0
0
}
트레이트 없는 메서드 (Impl)
트레이트 없이 직접 메서드 추가:
S Rectangle {
width: i64,
height: i64
}
# 트레이트 없이 메서드 추가
X Rectangle {
F area(&self) -> i64 {
self.width * self.height
}
F perimeter(&self) -> i64 {
(self.width + self.height) * 2
}
F is_square(&self) -> i64 {
I self.width == self.height { 1 } E { 0 }
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
rect := Rectangle { width: 10, height: 20 }
area := rect.area() # 200
perimeter := rect.perimeter() # 60
is_sq := rect.is_square() # 0
print_i64(area)
print_i64(perimeter)
0
}
제네릭 바운드
트레이트 바운드 개념
제네릭 타입에 제약 조건을 추가:
# T는 Printable을 구현해야 함
F print_twice<T: Printable>(value: &T) -> i64 {
value.print()
value.print()
0
}
Where 절
복잡한 바운드 표현:
# 여러 바운드
F process<T>(value: T) -> i64
where
T: Printable,
T: Comparable
{
value.print()
0
}
# Where clause with struct methods
S Container<T> where T: Clone {
value: T
}
X Container<T> where T: Clone {
F get_copy(&self) -> T {
self.value.clone()
}
}
# Where clause separating bounds from type parameters
F complex_transform<T, U>(input: T) -> U
where
T: Display,
U: Default
{
# Transform logic
0
}
Where 절 vs 인라인 바운드:
- 인라인:
F func<T: Trait>(x: T)— 간단한 단일 바운드에 적합 - Where 절:
F func<T>(x: T) where T: TraitA, T: TraitB— 복잡한 다중 바운드에 적합
다중 바운드 예제

타입 추론
타입 추론 규칙
Vais는 강력한 타입 추론을 제공합니다:
F identity<T>(x: T) -> T = x
F main() -> i64 {
# 리터럴로부터 추론
a := identity(42) # T = i64
b := identity(3.14) # T = f64
c := identity("text") # T = str
# 변수로부터 추론
x := 100
d := identity(x) # T = i64 (x의 타입)
# 반환 타입으로부터 추론
result: i64 = identity(50) # T = i64
0
}
컨텍스트 기반 추론
S Pair<T> {
first: T,
second: T
}
F make_pair<T>(a: T, b: T) -> Pair<T> {
Pair { first: a, second: b }
}
F main() -> i64 {
# 반환 타입으로부터 추론
p1: Pair<i64> = make_pair(10, 20) # T = i64
# 인자로부터 추론
p2 := make_pair(1, 2) # T = i64
print_i64(p1.first) # 10
print_i64(p2.first) # 1
0
}
추론 실패와 명시적 타입
추론이 불가능한 경우:
# 이 함수는 T를 추론할 정보가 없음
F create_default<T>() -> T {
# 기본값 반환
0
}
F main() -> i64 {
# 에러: T를 추론할 수 없음
# x := create_default()
# 해결: 타입 명시
x: i64 = create_default() # T = i64
print_i64(x)
0

성능 고려사항
Monomorphization의 장단점
장점:
- 런타임 오버헤드 없음 (virtual dispatch 불필요)
- 인라이닝 최적화 가능
- 타입별 최적화 가능
단점:
- 코드 크기 증가 (각 타입마다 별도 코드)
- 컴파일 시간 증가
제네릭 사용 팁
- 자주 사용하는 타입만 제네릭으로:

# 피하기: 한 번만 사용
F process_int(x: i64) -> i64 = x * 2

Type Inference Safety
Vais features a powerful type inference system that reduces boilerplate while maintaining type safety. Since Phase 61, the compiler enforces stricter rules to prevent ambiguous type inference scenarios.
Inference Rules
Automatic Type Inference
When type information can be unambiguously determined from context, Vais infers types automatically:
F add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 {
a + b
}
F main() -> i64 {
x := 5 # i64 inferred from literal
y := add(x, 3) # i64 inferred from function signature
0
}
Unconstrained Type Error (E032)
When the compiler cannot infer types from context, it raises an InferFailed error (E032):
# ERROR: Cannot infer parameter types
F add(a, b) {
a + b
}
# Error E032: Type inference failed: unconstrained type parameters
This prevents the compiler from making arbitrary assumptions about types, which could lead to runtime errors or unexpected behavior.
Fix: Provide explicit type annotations:
F add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 {
a + b
}
Recursive Functions
Return Type Required
Functions that use self-recursion (via @) must specify an explicit return type:
# ERROR: Missing return type in recursive function
F fib(n: i64) {
I n <= 1 { n }
E { @(n - 1) + @(n - 2) }
}
# Error E032: Recursive function requires explicit return type annotation
Why? The compiler needs the return type to properly type-check recursive calls before the function body is fully analyzed.
Fix: Add the return type annotation:
F fib(n: i64) -> i64 {
I n <= 1 { n }
E { @(n - 1) + @(n - 2) }
}
Self-Recursion Operator
The @ operator invokes the current function recursively:
F factorial(n: i64) -> i64 {
I n <= 1 { 1 }
E { n * @(n - 1) }
}
Struct Type Inference
Struct field types are inferred from the struct definition:
S Point { x: f64, y: f64 }
F make_point() -> Point {
Point { x: 3.0, y: 4.0 } # Field types inferred from struct definition
}
Generic Type Inference
Generic type parameters are inferred from usage:
F identity<T>(x: T) -> T {
x
}
F main() -> i64 {
a := identity(42) # T = i64 inferred
b := identity("hello") # T = str inferred
0
}
Error Messages
The compiler provides detailed error messages when type inference fails:
Error E032: Type inference failed: unconstrained type parameters
┌─ example.vais:1:1
│
1 │ F add(a, b) {
│ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Cannot infer types for parameters 'a' and 'b'
│
= help: Add explicit type annotations: F add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64
Best Practices
- Annotate public APIs — Always provide explicit types for function signatures in public APIs
- Use inference for locals — Let the compiler infer types for local variables
- Annotate recursive functions — Always specify return types for recursive functions
- Document complex types — Use type aliases for complex generic types
# Good: Clear public API
F process(input: str, count: i64) -> Result<Vec<str>, Error> {
# Local variables use inference
lines := input.split("\n")
results := Vec::new()
# ...
}

Iterator Type Inference Improvements
Overview
This document describes the improvements made to iterator type inference in the VAIS type system (vais-types v0.0.1).
Problem
Previously, the type checker had limited support for iterator type inference:
- Method calls only resolved methods defined directly on structs, not from trait implementations
- Loop expressions could only infer element types for built-in types (Array, Range)
- Custom iterator types implementing the Iterator trait were not properly handled
- The TODO comment
// For other types, try to iterate (could be a custom iterator trait later)indicated incomplete implementation
Solution
1. Trait Method Resolution (find_trait_method)
Added a new helper method that resolves methods from trait implementations:
fn find_trait_method(&self, receiver_type: &ResolvedType, method_name: &str) -> Option<TraitMethodSig>
This method:
- Takes a receiver type and method name
- Searches through all trait implementations for that type
- Returns the method signature if found in any implemented trait
2. Iterator Item Type Inference (get_iterator_item_type)
Added a comprehensive method to infer the element type from iterators:
fn get_iterator_item_type(&self, iter_type: &ResolvedType) -> Option<ResolvedType>
This method handles:
- Built-in iterable types (Array, Range)
- Types implementing the Iterator trait
- Types implementing the IntoIterator trait (for conversion to iterators)
- Recursive resolution for nested iterator types
3. Enhanced MethodCall Expression Handling
Updated the MethodCall expression handler to:
- First check for methods defined directly on the struct
- If not found, search for methods in trait implementations using
find_trait_method - Properly type-check arguments and return the correct return type
4. Improved Loop Expression Handling
Replaced the limited pattern matching for loop iterators with:
- Call to
get_iterator_item_typefor comprehensive type inference - Proper binding of loop variables with inferred types
- Warning generation when iterator item type cannot be inferred (instead of silent failure)
Benefits
- Full Trait Support: Methods from trait implementations are now properly resolved
- Custom Iterators: User-defined types implementing Iterator trait work correctly
- Better Type Safety: Loop variables have proper type information
- IntoIterator Pattern: Support for types that convert to iterators
- Better Error Messages: Warnings when type inference fails
Examples
Trait Method Resolution
W Iterator {
F next(&self) -> i64
}
S Counter { value: i64 }
X Counter: Iterator {
F next(&self) -> i64 {
val := self.value
self.value = self.value + 1
val
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
c := Counter { value: 0 }
# Method call now resolves to Iterator trait implementation
val := c.next() # Properly inferred as i64
0
}
Iterator Type Inference in Loops
# Built-in types still work
L i:0..10 { } # i is i64
# Arrays work
arr := [1, 2, 3]
L x:arr { } # x is i64
# Custom iterators with trait implementations now work
counter := Counter { value: 0 }
# Note: Direct loop iteration would require IntoIterator
# Manual iteration works with trait methods
Testing
All existing tests pass, and new test file demonstrates the improvements:
examples/trait_method_inference_test.vais- Tests trait method resolution- All existing iterator tests continue to work correctly
Implementation Details
The implementation is in /Users/sswoo/study/projects/vais/crates/vais-types/src/lib.rs:
- Lines 2157-2177:
find_trait_methodhelper - Lines 2199-2263:
get_iterator_item_typehelper - Lines 1519-1537: Enhanced MethodCall handling
- Lines 1383-1411: Improved Loop expression handling
Future Enhancements
Potential future improvements:
- Support for associated types in trait definitions
- Generic iterator implementations (
Iterator<T>) - More sophisticated IntoIterator pattern matching
- Iterator adapters (map, filter, etc.)
- Better handling of
Option<T>return types from iterators
고급 타입 시스템
Vais는 현대적인 타입 시스템을 제공하며, 고급 기능들을 통해 코드 재사용성과 추상화 수준을 높일 수 있습니다.
목차

- Existential Types (impl Trait)
- Const Evaluation (상수 평가)
- Union 타입 (O)
- SIMD 벡터 타입
- Higher-Kinded Types (HKT)
Trait Alias (트레이트 별칭)
Trait alias는 여러 트레이트 바운드를 하나의 이름으로 묶어서 재사용할 수 있게 합니다.
기본 문법
# 단일 트레이트 별칭
T Display = Printable
# 다중 트레이트 별칭
T StringLike = Display + Clone + Hash
핵심: T 키워드는 타입 별칭과 트레이트 별칭 모두에 사용됩니다.
기본 예제
W Numeric {
F value(self) -> i64
}
# Trait alias 정의
T Number = Numeric
S MyInt { n: i64 }
X MyInt: Numeric {
F value(self) -> i64 { self.n }
}
# 별칭을 제네릭 바운드로 사용
F show<T: Number>(x: T) -> i64 {
x.value()
}
F main() -> i64 {
num := MyInt { n: 42 }
R show(num) # 42
}
다중 바운드 예제
여러 트레이트를 하나로 묶어서 코드를 간결하게 만들 수 있습니다:
W Display {
F show(self) -> i64
}
W Clone {
F clone(self) -> Self
}
W Hash {
F hash(self) -> i64
}
# 세 개의 트레이트를 하나로 묶기
T StringLike = Display + Clone + Hash
S MyString { data: str }
X MyString: Display {
F show(self) -> i64 {
puts(self.data)
0
}
}
X MyString: Clone {
F clone(self) -> MyString {
MyString { data: self.data }
}
}
X MyString: Hash {
F hash(self) -> i64 {
42 # 간단한 해시 구현
}
}
# StringLike 바운드 사용 (Display + Clone + Hash 대신)
F process<T: StringLike>(val: T) -> i64 {
val.show()
cloned := val.clone()
hash := val.hash()
hash
}
F main() -> i64 {
s := MyString { data: "hello" }
R process(s)
}
Where 절과 함께 사용
Trait alias는 where 절에서도 사용 가능합니다:
W Printable {
F to_num(self) -> i64
}
T Display = Printable
S Point { x: i64, y: i64 }
X Point: Printable {
F to_num(self) -> i64 { self.x + self.y }
}
F show<T>(val: T) -> i64
where T: Display
{
val.to_num()
}
F main() -> i64 {
p := Point { x: 10, y: 32 }
R show(p) # 42
}
중첩 별칭
Trait alias는 다른 trait alias를 참조할 수 있습니다:
W Base {
F base_fn(self) -> i64
}
# 첫 번째 별칭
T Level1 = Base
# 별칭을 참조하는 별칭
T Level2 = Level1
S Thing { n: i64 }
X Thing: Base {
F base_fn(self) -> i64 { self.n }
}
F use_nested<T: Level2>(x: T) -> i64 {
x.base_fn()
}
F main() -> i64 {
t := Thing { n: 100 }
R use_nested(t)
}
Existential Types (impl Trait)
Existential type은 구체적인 타입을 숨기고 트레이트 인터페이스만 노출하는 기능입니다. Vais에서는 X 키워드를 타입 위치에 사용합니다.
기본 문법
# 함수 리턴 타입으로 impl Trait 사용
F make_thing() -> X SomeTrait {
ConcreteType { ... }
}
핵심: X 키워드는 impl 블록 선언과 existential type 모두에 사용됩니다.
기본 예제
W Numeric {
F value(self) -> i64
}
S MyNum { n: i64 }
X MyNum: Numeric {
F value(self) -> i64 { self.n }
}
# MyNum 대신 X Numeric으로 리턴
F make_num() -> X Numeric {
MyNum { n: 42 }
}
F main() -> i64 {
# num의 구체 타입은 숨겨지고, Numeric 메서드만 사용 가능
num := make_num()
R num.value() # 42
}
다중 바운드
여러 트레이트를 동시에 구현하는 타입을 반환할 수 있습니다:
W TraitA {
F method_a(self) -> i64
}
W TraitB {
F method_b(self) -> i64
}
S Impl { val: i64 }
X Impl: TraitA {
F method_a(self) -> i64 { self.val }
}
X Impl: TraitB {
F method_b(self) -> i64 { self.val * 2 }
}
# TraitA와 TraitB 모두 구현하는 타입 반환
F make_thing() -> X TraitA + TraitB {
Impl { val: 10 }
}
F main() -> i64 {
thing := make_thing()
a := thing.method_a() # 10
b := thing.method_b() # 20
R a + b # 30
}
제네릭 함수와 함께 사용
Existential type은 제네릭 함수의 리턴 타입으로도 사용 가능합니다:
W Display {
F show(self) -> i64
}
S MyType { n: i64 }
X MyType: Display {
F show(self) -> i64 {
print_i64(self.n)
0
}
}
# 제네릭 함수가 impl Trait 반환
F create<T: Display>(val: i64) -> X Display {
MyType { n: val }
}
F main() -> i64 {
obj := create(42)
obj.show() # 42
0
}
Where 절과 함께 사용
W Trait {
F method(self) -> i64
}
S Thing { x: i64 }
X Thing: Trait {
F method(self) -> i64 { self.x }
}
F produce<T>() -> X Trait
where T: Trait
{
Thing { x: 99 }
}
F main() -> i64 {
result := produce()
R result.method() # 99
}
사용 사례
Existential type은 다음과 같은 경우에 유용합니다:
- 구현 세부사항 숨기기: 내부 타입을 노출하지 않고 인터페이스만 제공
- 유연한 구현 변경: 인터페이스 유지하면서 구현 타입 교체 가능
- 복잡한 타입 시그니처 단순화: 긴 제네릭 타입을 트레이트로 추상화
현재 제한사항
Phase 37 기준: impl Trait는 파싱 및 타입 체킹 단계에서 완전히 지원되지만, 코드 생성 시 제한이 있습니다.
- Monomorphization 미완성:
X Trait리턴 타입은 codegen에서 opaque i64로 처리됩니다. 실제 메서드 호출이 필요한 경우 런타임 오류가 발생할 수 있습니다. - 파라미터 위치 미지원:
X Trait는 현재 리턴 타입 위치에서만 의미가 있습니다. 파라미터 위치에서는 제네릭(<T: Trait>)을 사용하세요. - Bounds 검증: 유니피케이션 시 trait bound 검증은 타입 체커 레벨에서 수행됩니다. inference 엔진에서는 DynTrait와 동일하게 타입 호환성만 확인합니다.
Const Evaluation (상수 평가)
Vais는 컴파일 타임에 상수 표현식을 평가할 수 있습니다. 특히 배열 크기 등에서 복잡한 산술 연산을 사용할 수 있습니다.
지원되는 연산자
Phase 37에서 확장된 const evaluation은 다음 연산자를 지원합니다:
- 산술 연산:
+,-,*,/ - 나머지:
% - 비트 연산:
&,|,^,<<,>> - 부호:
-(단항 negation)
기본 예제
F main() -> i64 {
# 배열 크기에 산술 연산
arr1 := [0; 2 + 3] # 크기 5
arr2 := [0; 10 - 2] # 크기 8
arr3 := [0; 4 * 3] # 크기 12
arr4 := [0; 20 / 4] # 크기 5
0
}
모듈로 연산
F main() -> i64 {
# 10 % 3 = 1
arr := [0; 10 % 3] # 크기 1
0
}
비트 연산
F main() -> i64 {
# 비트 AND: 3 & 7 = 3
arr1 := [0; 3 & 7] # 크기 3
# 비트 OR: 2 | 4 = 6
arr2 := [0; 2 | 4] # 크기 6
# 비트 XOR: 5 ^ 3 = 6
arr3 := [0; 5 ^ 3] # 크기 6
0
}
시프트 연산
F main() -> i64 {
# 왼쪽 시프트: 1 << 3 = 8
arr1 := [0; 1 << 3] # 크기 8
# 오른쪽 시프트: 16 >> 2 = 4
arr2 := [0; 16 >> 2] # 크기 4
0
}
복합 표현식
여러 연산자를 조합할 수 있습니다:
F main() -> i64 {
# (2 + 3) * 2 = 10
arr1 := [0; (2 + 3) * 2] # 크기 10
# ((1 << 4) - 2) / 2 = (16 - 2) / 2 = 7
arr2 := [0; ((1 << 4) - 2) / 2] # 크기 7
# 복잡한 비트 연산
arr3 := [0; (8 | 4) & 15] # (12) & 15 = 12
0
}
연산자 우선순위
Const evaluation은 표준 연산자 우선순위를 따릅니다:
<<,>>(시프트)&(비트 AND)^(비트 XOR)|(비트 OR)*,/,%(곱셈, 나눗셈, 나머지)+,-(덧셈, 뺄셈)
괄호 ()를 사용하여 우선순위를 명시할 수 있습니다.
사용 사례
Const evaluation은 다음과 같은 경우에 유용합니다:
- 컴파일 타임 계산: 배열 크기를 동적 계산 대신 컴파일 타임에 결정
- 비트마스크: 비트 연산을 통한 플래그 크기 계산
- 정렬 계산: 메모리 정렬 요구사항을 컴파일 타임에 계산
Union 타입 (O)
Union 타입은 C-style 비태그 union입니다. 여러 타입의 값을 같은 메모리 공간에 저장할 수 있으며, O 키워드로 정의합니다.
기본 문법
O IntOrFloat {
i: i64,
f: f64
}
F main() -> i64 {
u := IntOrFloat { i: 42 }
# union 필드 접근 (unsafe — 올바른 필드를 읽어야 함)
val := u.i # 42
0
}
사용 사례
Union은 다음과 같은 경우에 유용합니다:
- FFI 호환성: C 라이브러리와의 인터페이스에서 C union 매핑
- 메모리 최적화: 여러 타입 중 하나만 사용할 때 메모리 절약
- 비트 레벨 조작: 같은 메모리를 다른 타입으로 해석
주의사항
- Union은 타입 안전하지 않습니다. 잘못된 필드를 읽으면 정의되지 않은 동작이 발생합니다.
- 태그가 없으므로 현재 어떤 필드가 활성인지 추적해야 합니다.
- 대부분의 경우
E(enum)을 사용하는 것이 안전합니다.
SIMD 벡터 타입
Vais는 SIMD(Single Instruction, Multiple Data) 벡터 타입을 내장 지원합니다.
지원 타입
| 타입 | 설명 | 크기 |
|---|---|---|
Vec4f32 | 4×f32 벡터 | 128-bit (SSE) |
Vec2f64 | 2×f64 벡터 | 128-bit (SSE2) |
Vec8f32 | 8×f32 벡터 | 256-bit (AVX) |
Vec4f64 | 4×f64 벡터 | 256-bit (AVX) |
기본 사용
F main() -> i64 {
# SIMD 벡터 연산은 C 런타임 함수를 통해 수행됩니다
# SSE2/NEON/스칼라 폴백이 자동 선택됩니다
0
}
플랫폼 지원
- x86_64: SSE2 기본, AVX/AVX2 가능
- aarch64: NEON 기본
- 기타: 스칼라 폴백 (자동)
Higher-Kinded Types (HKT)
Vais는 Higher-Kinded Types를 지원하여 타입 생성자를 추상화할 수 있습니다.
기본 개념
HKT를 통해 Vec, Option, Result 같은 타입 생성자 자체를 제네릭 파라미터로 전달할 수 있습니다:
# Container는 타입 생성자 (kind: * -> *)
W Functor<Container> {
F map<A, B>(self: Container<A>, f: |A| -> B) -> Container<B>
}
Variance (공변성/반변성)
Vais의 제네릭 타입은 다음 variance 규칙을 따릅니다:
- Covariant (공변):
Vec<T>— T가 서브타입이면Vec<T>도 서브타입 - Invariant (불변):
&mut T— T의 서브타입 관계가 보존되지 않음 - Contravariant (반변): 함수 파라미터 위치
현재 제한사항
- HKT는 Phase 38에서 도입되었으며, 타입 체커와 코드 생성을 지원합니다
- Arity 상한은 32 (MAX_HKT_ARITY)
- Monomorphization 기반 코드 생성

Slice Types
Overview
Vais supports slice types &[T] and &mut [T] as fat pointers (pointer + length). Slices provide a view into contiguous sequences without ownership, enabling efficient array and vector operations.
Syntax
- Immutable slice:
&[T]— read-only view - Mutable slice:
&mut [T]— mutable view
Creating Slices
Slices are created by range indexing into arrays or vectors:
arr := [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
slice := arr[1..3] # &[i64] — elements at index 1, 2
mut_arr := mut [1, 2, 3, 4]
mut_slice := mut_arr[0..2] # &mut [i64]
Indexing
Element Access
slice := [10, 20, 30][0..3]
val := slice[0] # Access element (bounds checked at runtime)
# val = 10
Sub-slicing
slice := [1, 2, 3, 4, 5][1..4] # [2, 3, 4]
sub := slice[1..2] # [3] — sub-slice
Range syntax:
slice[i..j]— elements from index i (inclusive) to j (exclusive)slice[i..]— from index i to endslice[..j]— from start to index jslice[..]— entire slice (copy)
Length
The .len() method returns the slice length as i64:
data := [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
slice := data[1..4]
len := slice.len() # Returns 3
Function Parameters
Slices are commonly used for function parameters to avoid copying:
F sum(data: &[i64]) -> i64 {
total := 0
i := 0
L i < data.len() {
total = total + data[i]
i = i + 1
}
total
}
F fill(data: &mut [i64], val: i64) {
i := 0
L i < data.len() {
data[i] = val
i = i + 1
}
}
# Usage
arr := [10, 20, 30, 40]
s := sum(arr[..]) # Pass entire array as slice
fill(arr[1..3], 99) # Fill indices 1, 2 with 99
Borrowing Rules
Slices follow Vais ownership rules:
- Multiple
&[T]slices allowed simultaneously (immutable borrows) - Only one
&mut [T]slice at a time (mutable borrow) - Cannot have
&[T]and&mut [T]simultaneously
arr := mut [1, 2, 3, 4]
slice1 := arr[0..2] # &[i64] — OK
slice2 := arr[2..4] # &[i64] — OK (non-overlapping)
mut_slice := arr[0..2] # &mut [i64]
# slice3 := arr[1..3] # ERROR: cannot borrow while mutably borrowed
Implementation Details
Fat Pointer Representation
Slices are implemented as fat pointers containing:
i8*— pointer to first elementi64— length (number of elements)
LLVM type: { i8*, i64 }
Indexing Operations
Slice indexing is compiled to:
extractvalue— extract pointer and length from fat pointerbitcast— casti8*to element type pointergetelementptr(GEP) — compute element addressload— read element value
Bounds Checking
All slice indexing operations include runtime bounds checks. Out-of-bounds access triggers a runtime error.
Comparison with Arrays
| Feature | Array [T; N] | Slice &[T] |
|---|---|---|
| Size | Compile-time constant | Runtime value |
| Indexing | Direct GEP | extractvalue + bitcast + GEP |
| Storage | Inline value | Fat pointer (16 bytes) |
| Ownership | Owned | Borrowed |
Examples
Iterating Over Slices
F print_all(items: &[i64]) {
i := 0
L i < items.len() {
print_i64(items[i])
i = i + 1
}
}
data := [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
print_all(data[1..4]) # Prints: 20, 30, 40
Splitting Slices
F split_at(data: &[i64], mid: i64) -> (&[i64], &[i64]) {
left := data[0..mid]
right := data[mid..data.len()]
(left, right)
}
arr := [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
(first, second) := split_at(arr[..], 3)
# first = [1, 2, 3], second = [4, 5, 6]
In-place Modification
F double_values(data: &mut [i64]) {
i := 0
L i < data.len() {
data[i] = data[i] * 2
i = i + 1
}
}
arr := mut [5, 10, 15]
double_values(arr[..])

Lifetimes & Borrow Checking
Overview
Vais implements Non-Lexical Lifetimes (NLL) with control-flow-graph (CFG) based dataflow analysis to ensure memory safety without garbage collection. The borrow checker prevents common memory errors at compile time.
Borrow Rules
Vais enforces strict borrowing rules:
- Multiple shared references — Any number of
&T(immutable borrows) allowed simultaneously - Single mutable reference — Only one
&mut T(mutable borrow) at a time - Exclusivity — Cannot have
&Tand&mut Tsimultaneously on the same value
Valid Borrowing
x := 10
a := &x # &i64 — immutable borrow
b := &x # &i64 — OK: multiple immutable borrows
val := *a + *b # OK
Invalid Borrowing
x := mut 10
m := &mut x # &mut i64 — mutable borrow
# n := &x # ERROR: cannot borrow as immutable while mutably borrowed
*m = 20 # OK
Borrow Checker Errors
The Vais borrow checker detects six categories of memory safety violations:
| Code | Error | Description |
|---|---|---|
| E100 | UseAfterMove | Using a value after it has been moved |
| E101 | DoubleFree | Attempting to free memory twice |
| E102 | UseAfterFree | Using memory after it has been freed |
| E103 | MutableBorrowConflict | Multiple mutable borrows of the same value |
| E104 | BorrowWhileMutablyBorrowed | Shared borrow while mutable borrow exists |
| E105 | MoveWhileBorrowed | Moving a value while it's borrowed |
| E106 | LifetimeViolation | Reference outlives the data it points to |
Example: E100 UseAfterMove
F take_ownership(x: Vec<i64>) {
# x is consumed here
}
v := Vec::<i64>::new()
take_ownership(v)
# v.push(1) # ERROR E100: v was moved
Example: E103 MutableBorrowConflict
x := mut [1, 2, 3]
a := &mut x
# b := &mut x # ERROR E103: cannot borrow as mutable more than once
*a = [4, 5, 6]
Example: E106 LifetimeViolation
F dangling_ref() -> &i64 {
x := 42
&x # ERROR E106: returns reference to local variable
}
Non-Lexical Lifetimes (NLL)
Vais implements NLL, meaning borrow lifetimes are determined by actual usage, not lexical scope:
Before NLL (lexical scopes)
x := mut [1, 2, 3]
{
r := &x # Borrow starts
print_i64(r[0])
} # Borrow ends at scope exit
x.push(4) # OK: borrow ended
With NLL (usage-based)
x := mut [1, 2, 3]
r := &x # Borrow starts
print_i64(r[0]) # Last use of r — borrow expires here
x.push(4) # OK: r is no longer used
The borrow expires after r's last use, not at the end of the scope.
Two-Phase Borrows
Vais supports two-phase mutable borrows for method chaining and mutation:
v := mut Vec::<i64>::new()
v.push(1)
v.push(2) # OK: each mutable borrow is reserved then activated
The borrow checker uses BorrowKind::ReservedMutable internally to allow this pattern.
Strict Borrow Checking
Enable strict borrow checking with the --strict-borrow flag:
vaisc --strict-borrow file.vais
This enforces stricter rules:
- All potential moves must be explicit
- Unused borrows trigger warnings
- Conservative dataflow joins (if one branch moves, value is considered moved)
Lifetime Annotations
For complex cases where the compiler cannot infer lifetimes, use explicit lifetime annotations:
Basic Syntax
F longest<'a>(x: &'a str, y: &'a str) -> &'a str {
I x.len() > y.len() { x }
E { y }
}
The 'a annotation declares that:
- Both
xandymust live at least as long as'a - The returned reference is valid for lifetime
'a
Multiple Lifetimes
F first<'a, 'b>(x: &'a i64, y: &'b i64) -> &'a i64 {
x # Return value tied to x's lifetime
}
Struct Lifetimes
S Ref<'a> {
data: &'a i64
}
F create_ref<'a>(x: &'a i64) -> Ref<'a> {
Ref { data: x }
}
Lifetime Elision
Vais automatically infers lifetimes in simple cases (lifetime elision rules):
Rule 1: Single input reference
# Explicit: F foo<'a>(x: &'a i64) -> &'a i64
F foo(x: &i64) -> &i64 { # Inferred: output lifetime = input lifetime
x
}
Rule 2: Multiple inputs with self
X MyStruct {
# Explicit: F get<'a>(&'a self) -> &'a i64
F get(&self) -> &i64 { # Inferred: output lifetime = self lifetime
&self.field
}
}
Rule 3: No inference possible
# ERROR: cannot infer lifetime
# F choose(x: &i64, y: &i64) -> &i64 { ... }
# Must annotate explicitly:
F choose<'a>(x: &'a i64, y: &'a i64) -> &'a i64 { ... }
Control Flow Analysis
The borrow checker uses CFG-based dataflow analysis:
- Build CFG — construct control flow graph from MIR
- Worklist algorithm — iteratively propagate borrow state
- Join states — conservatively merge at control flow joins (if-else, loops)
- Fixpoint — iterate until no state changes
Join Rules
At control flow joins (e.g., after if-else):
- If a value is
MovedorDroppedin any branch, it's consideredMoved - Borrows are expired if they don't appear in all branches
- Conservative approach prevents use-after-move
x := mut [1, 2, 3]
I condition {
take(x) # x moved in this branch
} E {
print(x[0]) # x borrowed here
}
# x is considered moved here (conservative join)
MIR Representation
Lifetimes are tracked in the Mid-level Intermediate Representation (MIR):
// MirType variants
RefLifetime(String, Box<MirType>) // &'a T
RefMutLifetime(String, Box<MirType>) // &'a mut T
// LocalDecl
struct LocalDecl {
lifetime: Option<String>, // e.g., Some("'a")
// ...
}
// Body
struct Body {
lifetime_params: Vec<String>, // ['a, 'b, ...]
lifetime_bounds: Vec<(String, String)>, // [('a, 'b), ...] means 'a: 'b
// ...
}
Best Practices
1. Prefer immutable borrows
F read_only(data: &[i64]) { ... } # Good: immutable borrow
2. Keep mutable borrows short
{
m := &mut x
*m = 10
} # Borrow ends
x.other_operation()
3. Use lifetime elision
Let the compiler infer lifetimes when possible:
F process(&self, data: &Vec<i64>) -> &i64 {
&data[0] # Lifetime inferred
}
4. Split borrows
Borrow different parts of a struct independently:
S Pair { first: i64, second: i64 }
p := mut Pair { first: 1, second: 2 }
a := &mut p.first
b := &mut p.second # OK: non-overlapping borrows
Implementation Details
- CFG Construction — MIR blocks form nodes, terminators form edges
- Worklist — VecDeque-based iterative dataflow
- Liveness Analysis — tracks last use of each local variable
- Expiration — borrows expire when their target's last use is reached
- Max Iterations — 1000 iterations to detect infinite loops in fixpoint

비동기 프로그래밍
Vais Async/Await 고급 튜토리얼
이 튜토리얼은 Vais의 비동기 프로그래밍을 깊이 있게 다룹니다. 기본 튜토리얼을 먼저 학습하신 후 이 문서를 읽으시길 권장합니다.
목차
비동기 프로그래밍 개념
동기 vs 비동기
동기 프로그래밍:
F fetch_data(url: str) -> str {
# 네트워크 요청이 완료될 때까지 블로킹
# 다른 작업을 수행할 수 없음
"data from server"
}
F main() -> i64 {
data1 := fetch_data("url1") # 대기...
data2 := fetch_data("url2") # 또 대기...
# 순차적으로 실행, 느림
0
}
비동기 프로그래밍:
A F fetch_data(url: str) -> str {
# 비블로킹 - 다른 작업 수행 가능
"data from server"
}
F main() -> i64 {
# 두 요청을 동시에 처리 가능
data1 := fetch_data("url1").await
data2 := fetch_data("url2").await
0
}
Vais의 비동기 모델
Vais는 stackless coroutine 기반의 async/await 패턴을 사용합니다:
- State Machine: 각 async 함수는 상태 머신으로 컴파일됨
- Zero-cost Abstraction: 런타임 오버헤드 최소화
- Cooperative Scheduling: 명시적 await 포인트에서만 제어 양보
Async 함수 정의
기본 Async 함수
A 키워드로 함수를 비동기로 선언합니다:
# 단순 비동기 함수
A F compute(x: i64) -> i64 {
x * 2
}
# 비동기 함수는 Future를 반환
A F add_values(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 {
a + b
}
표현식 형태
간단한 비동기 함수는 표현식으로 작성 가능:
A F double(x: i64) -> i64 = x * 2
A F max(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 = a > b ? a : b
A F square(x: i64) -> i64 = x * x
Async 함수 시그니처
# 매개변수 없음
A F get_value() -> i64 {
42
}
# 여러 매개변수
A F calculate(x: i64, y: i64, multiplier: i64) -> i64 {
(x + y) * multiplier
}
# 구조체 반환
S Point { x: f64, y: f64 }
A F create_point(x: f64, y: f64) -> Point {
Point { x: x, y: y }
}
중요 사항
- Async 함수는 즉시 실행되지 않음
- 호출 시 Future 객체 반환
- Future는
.await로 폴링해야 실행됨
F main() -> i64 {
# 이 줄은 compute를 실행하지 않음, Future만 생성
future := compute(21)
# .await를 해야 실제로 실행됨
result := future.await
print_i64(result) # 42
0
}
Await 키워드
기본 사용법
.await는 Future가 완료될 때까지 기다립니다:
A F fetch_user(id: i64) -> str {
"User data"
}
F main() -> i64 {
# fetch_user를 호출하고 결과를 기다림
user := fetch_user(123).await
puts(user)
0
}
Await 체이닝
여러 비동기 작업을 순차적으로 실행:
A F step1(x: i64) -> i64 {
x + 10
}
A F step2(x: i64) -> i64 {
x * 2
}
A F step3(x: i64) -> i64 {
x - 5
}
F main() -> i64 {
# 순차적으로 실행
result1 := step1(5).await # 15
result2 := step2(result1).await # 30
result3 := step3(result2).await # 25
print_i64(result3) # 25
0
}
Async 함수 내부의 Await
Async 함수 안에서 다른 async 함수를 호출:
A F fetch_data(id: i64) -> i64 {
# 시뮬레이션: 데이터 가져오기
id * 100
}
A F process_data(data: i64) -> i64 {
data + 42
}
A F fetch_and_process(id: i64) -> i64 {
# 비동기 함수 내부에서 await 사용
raw_data := fetch_data(id).await
processed := process_data(raw_data).await
processed
}
F main() -> i64 {
result := fetch_and_process(5).await
print_i64(result) # 542 (5*100 + 42)
0
}
Future Trait와 Poll
Future Trait 이해하기
Vais의 Future는 std/future 모듈에 정의되어 있습니다:
U std/future
# Poll 결과: Ready 또는 Pending
E Poll {
Pending, # 아직 준비 안 됨
Ready(i64) # 값 준비 완료
}
# Future trait - 비동기 값의 인터페이스
W Future {
F poll(&self, ctx: i64) -> Poll
}
Poll의 동작 방식
Future는 상태 머신으로 구현됩니다:
A F simple_async(x: i64) -> i64 {
x * 2
}
# 컴파일러가 생성하는 state machine (개념적 표현):
S SimpleFuture {
x: i64,
state: i64 # 0 = 시작, 1 = 완료
}
X SimpleFuture: Future {
F poll(&self, ctx: i64) -> Poll {
I self.state == 0 {
# 계산 수행
self.state = 1
result := self.x * 2
Ready(result)
} E {
# 이미 완료됨
Ready(0)
}
}
}
Context와 Waker
Context는 런타임과의 통신을 위한 객체:
# Context - async 런타임 컨텍스트
S Context {
waker_ptr: i64,
runtime_ptr: i64
}
X Context {
F new() -> Context {
Context { waker_ptr: 0, runtime_ptr: 0 }
}
F wake(&self) -> i64 {
# Task를 깨우기 (런타임에 알림)
1
}
}
커스텀 Future 구현 예제
직접 Future를 구현하는 방법:
U std/future
# 카운트다운 Future
S CountdownFuture {
count: i64,
current: i64
}
X CountdownFuture {
F new(count: i64) -> CountdownFuture {
CountdownFuture { count: count, current: 0 }
}
}
X CountdownFuture: Future {
F poll(&self, ctx: i64) -> Poll {
I self.current >= self.count {
# 완료
Ready(self.count)
} E {
# 아직 진행 중
self.current = self.current + 1
Pending
}
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
countdown := CountdownFuture::new(5)
# await하면 poll이 Ready를 반환할 때까지 반복
result := countdown.await
print_i64(result) # 5
0
}
Spawn과 동시성
Spawn으로 태스크 생성
spawn은 새로운 비동기 태스크를 생성하여 동시 실행을 가능하게 합니다:
A F task1(x: i64) -> i64 {
puts("Task 1 running")
x * 2
}
A F task2(x: i64) -> i64 {
puts("Task 2 running")
x + 10
}
F main() -> i64 {
# 두 태스크를 동시에 실행
future1 := spawn task1(5)
future2 := spawn task2(3)
# 결과 기다리기
result1 := future1.await # 10
result2 := future2.await # 13
total := result1 + result2
print_i64(total) # 23
0
}
Spawn vs 직접 Await
직접 await (순차 실행):
F main() -> i64 {
# 순차적으로 실행됨
r1 := slow_task(1).await # 먼저 완료 대기
r2 := slow_task(2).await # 그 다음 실행
r1 + r2
}
Spawn 사용 (병렬 실행):
F main() -> i64 {
# 동시에 시작
f1 := spawn slow_task(1)
f2 := spawn slow_task(2)
# 둘 다 완료 대기
r1 := f1.await
r2 := f2.await
r1 + r2
}
여러 태스크 동시 실행
A F compute_value(id: i64, multiplier: i64) -> i64 {
id * multiplier
}
F main() -> i64 {
puts("Spawning multiple tasks...")
# 5개 태스크 동시 실행
t1 := spawn compute_value(1, 10)
t2 := spawn compute_value(2, 20)
t3 := spawn compute_value(3, 30)
t4 := spawn compute_value(4, 40)
t5 := spawn compute_value(5, 50)
# 모든 결과 수집
r1 := t1.await # 10
r2 := t2.await # 40
r3 := t3.await # 90
r4 := t4.await # 160
r5 := t5.await # 250
total := r1 + r2 + r3 + r4 + r5
puts("Total:")
print_i64(total) # 550
0
}
비동기 에러 처리
Option을 사용한 에러 처리
U std/option
A F safe_divide(a: i64, b: i64) -> Option {
I b == 0 {
None
} E {
Some(a / b)
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
result := safe_divide(10, 2).await
M result {
Some(value) => {
puts("Result:")
print_i64(value) # 5
},
None => {
puts("Error: division by zero")
}
}
0
}
Result를 사용한 에러 처리
E Result {
Ok(i64),
Err(str)
}
A F validate_and_compute(x: i64) -> Result {
I x < 0 {
Err("Negative value not allowed")
} E I x == 0 {
Err("Zero value not allowed")
} E {
Ok(x * 2)
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
result := validate_and_compute(5).await
M result {
Ok(value) => {
puts("Success:")
print_i64(value) # 10
},
Err(msg) => {
puts("Error:")
puts(msg)
}
}
0
}
에러 전파 패턴
A F step_a(x: i64) -> Result {
I x > 100 {
Err("Value too large in step A")
} E {
Ok(x + 10)
}
}
A F step_b(x: i64) -> Result {
I x < 5 {
Err("Value too small in step B")
} E {
Ok(x * 2)
}
}
A F process_pipeline(x: i64) -> Result {
# Step A 실행
result_a := step_a(x).await
M result_a {
Err(msg) => Err(msg), # 에러 전파
Ok(val_a) => {
# Step B 실행
result_b := step_b(val_a).await
result_b # 결과 반환
}
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
result := process_pipeline(10).await
M result {
Ok(value) => {
puts("Pipeline result:")
print_i64(value) # 40 (10+10)*2
},
Err(msg) => {
puts("Pipeline error:")
puts(msg)
}
}
0
}
실전 예제
예제 1: 비동기 데이터 처리 파이프라인
U std/option
# 데이터 가져오기
A F fetch_raw_data(id: i64) -> i64 {
puts("Fetching data...")
id * 100
}
# 데이터 검증
A F validate_data(data: i64) -> Option {
I data < 0 {
None
} E {
Some(data)
}
}
# 데이터 변환
A F transform_data(data: i64) -> i64 {
puts("Transforming data...")
data + 42
}
# 데이터 저장
A F save_data(data: i64) -> i64 {
puts("Saving data...")
data
}
# 전체 파이프라인
A F data_pipeline(id: i64) -> Option {
# 1. 데이터 가져오기
raw := fetch_raw_data(id).await
# 2. 검증
validated := validate_data(raw).await
M validated {
None => None,
Some(valid_data) => {
# 3. 변환
transformed := transform_data(valid_data).await
# 4. 저장
saved := save_data(transformed).await
Some(saved)
}
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
puts("=== Data Pipeline ===")
putchar(10)
result := data_pipeline(5).await
M result {
Some(value) => {
puts("Pipeline success! Final value:")
print_i64(value) # 542
},
None => {
puts("Pipeline failed!")
}
}
0
}
예제 2: 동시 다운로드 시뮬레이션
A F download_file(file_id: i64, size: i64) -> i64 {
puts("Downloading file")
print_i64(file_id)
putchar(10)
# 다운로드 시간 시뮬레이션
# 실제로는 네트워크 작업
size * 10
}
A F process_file(file_id: i64, data: i64) -> i64 {
puts("Processing file")
print_i64(file_id)
putchar(10)
data + file_id
}
F main() -> i64 {
puts("=== Concurrent Downloads ===")
putchar(10)
# 3개 파일 동시 다운로드
d1 := spawn download_file(1, 100)
d2 := spawn download_file(2, 200)
d3 := spawn download_file(3, 150)
# 다운로드 완료 대기
data1 := d1.await # 1000
data2 := d2.await # 2000
data3 := d3.await # 1500
puts("All downloads complete!")
putchar(10)
# 각 파일 처리
p1 := spawn process_file(1, data1)
p2 := spawn process_file(2, data2)
p3 := spawn process_file(3, data3)
result1 := p1.await # 1001
result2 := p2.await # 2002
result3 := p3.await # 1503
total := result1 + result2 + result3
puts("Total processed bytes:")
print_i64(total) # 4506
putchar(10)
0
}
예제 3: Async 재귀
# 비동기 팩토리얼
A F async_factorial(n: i64) -> i64 {
I n <= 1 {
1
} E {
prev := async_factorial(n - 1).await
n * prev
}
}
# 비동기 피보나치
A F async_fibonacci(n: i64) -> i64 {
I n <= 1 {
n
} E {
# 두 재귀 호출을 동시에 실행
f1 := spawn async_fibonacci(n - 1)
f2 := spawn async_fibonacci(n - 2)
v1 := f1.await
v2 := f2.await
v1 + v2
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
puts("Async factorial(5):")
fact := async_factorial(5).await
print_i64(fact) # 120
putchar(10)
puts("Async fibonacci(7):")
fib := async_fibonacci(7).await
print_i64(fib) # 13
putchar(10)
0
}
성능 최적화
1. 불필요한 Await 제거
나쁜 예:
F main() -> i64 {
# 각 작업을 순차적으로 기다림
r1 := task1().await
r2 := task2().await
r3 := task3().await
r1 + r2 + r3
}
좋은 예:
F main() -> i64 {
# 모든 작업을 동시에 시작
f1 := spawn task1()
f2 := spawn task2()
f3 := spawn task3()
# 결과만 기다림
r1 := f1.await
r2 := f2.await
r3 := f3.await
r1 + r2 + r3
}
2. 작업 단위 최적화
작업을 너무 작게 나누면 오버헤드 증가:
# 너무 세분화 (비효율)
A F add_one(x: i64) -> i64 = x + 1
F bad_example() -> i64 {
r := add_one(1).await
r = add_one(r).await
r = add_one(r).await
r # 3
}
# 적절한 크기
A F add_three(x: i64) -> i64 = x + 3
F good_example() -> i64 {
add_three(0).await # 3
}
3. 상태 머신 크기 최소화
Async 함수의 상태는 메모리에 저장됩니다:
# 큰 상태 (비효율)
A F large_state() -> i64 {
x1 := compute1().await
x2 := compute2().await
x3 := compute3().await
# 모든 변수가 상태에 저장됨
x1 + x2 + x3
}
# 작은 상태 (효율적)
A F small_state() -> i64 {
sum := 0
sum = sum + compute1().await
sum = sum + compute2().await
sum = sum + compute3().await
# 하나의 변수만 상태에 저장
sum
}
4. Future 재사용
# Future를 여러 번 await하지 말 것
F main() -> i64 {
future := expensive_task()
# 나쁜 예: 여러 번 await
# r1 := future.await # 첫 실행
# r2 := future.await # 에러 또는 잘못된 동작
# 좋은 예: 한 번만 await하고 결과 저장
result := future.await
use_result(result)
use_result(result)
0
}
요약
핵심 개념
- Async 함수:
A F키워드로 정의, Future 반환 - Await:
.await로 Future 완료 대기 - Poll: Future는 상태 머신으로 구현됨
- Spawn: 동시 태스크 실행
- 에러 처리: Option/Result와 패턴 매칭
베스트 프랙티스
- ✅ 독립적인 작업은
spawn으로 병렬화 - ✅ 에러는 Option/Result로 명시적 처리
- ✅ 상태 머신 크기 최소화
- ✅ Future는 한 번만 await
- ❌ 너무 작은 단위로 async 분할하지 말 것
- ❌ 순차 실행이 필요한 경우에만 순차 await
다음 단계
- std/future 모듈 살펴보기
- 네트워크 프로그래밍 (std/net 사용)
- 타이머와 스케줄링
- 동시성 패턴 (Fan-out, Pipeline 등)

클로저 & 람다
Vais는 일급 함수(first-class functions)를 지원하며, 간결한 람다 표현식과 강력한 클로저 기능을 제공합니다.
기본 문법
람다 표현식
람다는 |params| expr 형태로 작성합니다:
# 단일 표현식
double := |x| x * 2
result := double(5) # 10
# 여러 파라미터
add := |x, y| x + y
sum := add(3, 7) # 10
# 블록 형태
compute := |x, y| {
temp := x * 2
temp + y
}
타입 추론
대부분의 경우 타입을 명시할 필요가 없습니다:
# 자동 타입 추론
numbers := vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
doubled := numbers.map(|x| x * 2)
# 명시적 타입 지정 (선택사항)
parse := |s: str| -> i64 {
# 문자열을 정수로 파싱
42
}
캡처 모드
Vais는 4가지 캡처 모드를 제공합니다:
1. ByValue (기본)
값을 복사하여 캡처합니다. 원본 변수는 영향받지 않습니다:
F main() -> i64 {
x := 10
# x를 값으로 캡처 (복사)
closure := |y| x + y
result := closure(5) # 15
# x는 여전히 10
result
}
2. Move 캡처
move 키워드를 사용하여 소유권을 클로저로 이전합니다:
F process_data() -> i64 {
data := 100
# data의 소유권을 클로저로 이전
consumer := move |multiplier| data * multiplier
result := consumer(2) # 200
# 이후 data 사용 불가 (소유권 이전됨)
result
}
주의: Move 캡처 후 원본 변수를 사용하면 컴파일 에러가 발생합니다.
3. ByRef 캡처
불변 참조로 캡처합니다. 캡처된 변수를 읽을 수 있지만 수정할 수 없습니다:
F main() -> i64 {
counter := 42
# 불변 참조로 캡처
reader := |&counter| counter + 1
value := reader() # 43
# counter는 여전히 42 (수정 불가)
counter
}
구현 상태: ByRef 캡처는 Phase 42에서 완전히 구현되었습니다. 캡처된 변수는 불변 참조로 전달됩니다.
4. ByMutRef 캡처
가변 참조로 캡처합니다. 클로저 내부에서 캡처된 변수를 수정할 수 있습니다:
F main() -> i64 {
counter := mut 0
# 가변 참조로 캡처
increment := |&mut counter| {
counter = counter + 1
counter
}
increment() # counter = 1
increment() # counter = 2
counter # 2
}
구현 상태: ByMutRef 캡처는 Phase 42에서 완전히 구현되었습니다. 캡처된 변수는 가변 참조로 전달되어 클로저 내에서 수정이 가능합니다.
고차 함수
클로저를 함수 파라미터로 전달할 수 있습니다:
# 고차 함수: 함수를 파라미터로 받음
F apply_twice(f, x: i64) -> i64 {
temp := f(x)
f(temp)
}
F main() -> i64 {
double := |n| n * 2
result := apply_twice(double, 3) # ((3 * 2) * 2) = 12
result
}
컬렉션과 함께 사용
F main() -> i64 {
numbers := vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
# map: 각 요소에 함수 적용
doubled := numbers.map(|x| x * 2)
# [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]
# filter: 조건을 만족하는 요소만 선택
evens := numbers.filter(|x| x % 2 == 0)
# [2, 4]
# reduce: 누적 연산
sum := numbers.fold(0, |acc, x| acc + x)
# 15
sum
}
클로저 체이닝
여러 고차 함수를 연쇄적으로 사용할 수 있습니다:
F main() -> i64 {
result := vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
.filter(|x| x % 2 == 0) # 짝수만
.map(|x| x * x) # 제곱
.fold(0, |acc, x| acc + x) # 합계
# (2² + 4² + 6² + 8² + 10²) = 220
result
}
실전 예제
커링(Currying)
F make_adder(n: i64) {
|x| n + x
}
F main() -> i64 {
add_10 := make_adder(10)
result1 := add_10(5) # 15
result2 := add_10(20) # 30
result1 + result2 # 45
}
콜백 패턴
F process_async(data: i64, callback) -> i64 {
# 비동기 처리 시뮬레이션
processed := data * 2
callback(processed)
}
F main() -> i64 {
result := process_async(21, |x| {
# 결과 처리
x + 10
})
result # 52
}
지연 실행
F defer_execution(action) -> i64 {
# 일부 초기화 작업
init := 100
# 나중에 action 실행
action(init)
}
F main() -> i64 {
defer_execution(|value| {
# 지연된 작업
value * 3
}) # 300
}
성능 고려사항
- 인라이닝: 작은 람다는 컴파일러가 자동으로 인라인 최적화합니다.
- 클로저 크기: 캡처하는 변수가 많을수록 클로저 객체가 커집니다.
- Move vs Copy: 큰 데이터 구조는 move 캡처를 사용하여 불필요한 복사를 피하세요.
제약사항
-
참조 캡처: ByRef(
|&x|)와 ByMutRef(|&mut x|) 캡처는 포인터 전달 방식으로 구현되어 있습니다. -
재귀 람다: 람다는 자기 자신을 직접 호출할 수 없습니다. 재귀가 필요한 경우 일반 함수를 사용하세요.
-
타입 추론 한계: 복잡한 경우 타입을 명시해야 할 수 있습니다.
요약
- 기본 문법:
|params| expr또는|params| { body } - 4가지 캡처 모드: ByValue(기본), Move, ByRef, ByMutRef
- 타입 추론: 대부분 자동, 필요시 명시 가능
- 고차 함수: 함수를 파라미터로 전달하거나 반환 가능
- 실용적 패턴: 커링, 콜백, 지연 실행 등
클로저는 Vais의 함수형 프로그래밍 기능의 핵심이며, 간결하고 표현력 있는 코드를 작성하는 데 필수적인 도구입니다.
지연 평가 (Lazy Evaluation)
Vais는 lazy와 force 키워드를 통해 지연 평가(lazy evaluation)를 지원합니다. 이를 통해 필요할 때까지 계산을 미루고, 결과를 캐싱하여 성능을 최적화할 수 있습니다.
기본 개념
lazy - 평가 지연
lazy 키워드는 표현식을 즉시 평가하지 않고 thunk로 감쌉니다:
F expensive_compute() -> i64 {
# 무거운 연산 시뮬레이션
42
}
F main() -> i64 {
# 이 시점에서는 expensive_compute가 실행되지 않음
value := lazy expensive_compute()
# ... 다른 작업들 ...
# 필요할 때 평가
result := force value # 이제 expensive_compute() 실행
result
}
force - 평가 강제
force 키워드는 lazy 값을 평가하고 결과를 반환합니다:
F main() -> i64 {
val := lazy 100 + 200
result := force val # 300
result
}
내부 구조
Lazy 값은 내부적으로 다음과 같은 구조체로 표현됩니다:
S Lazy<T> {
computed: bool, # 이미 평가되었는가?
value: T, # 캐시된 결과 값
thunk: F() -> T # 평가 함수
}
- computed:
false로 시작, 첫force후true로 변경 - value: 평가된 결과를 저장 (캐싱)
- thunk: 평가할 표현식을 담은 클로저
캐싱 동작
한번 평가된 lazy 값은 결과가 캐싱되어, 이후 force 호출에서 재계산하지 않습니다:
F side_effect_function() -> i64 {
# 부작용이 있는 함수 (예: I/O, 로깅 등)
println("계산 중...")
42
}
F main() -> i64 {
val := lazy side_effect_function()
result1 := force val # "계산 중..." 출력, 42 반환
result2 := force val # 캐시된 42 반환 (출력 없음)
result3 := force val # 캐시된 42 반환 (출력 없음)
result1
}
실전 예제
조건부 평가
조건에 따라 무거운 계산을 건너뛸 수 있습니다:
F heavy_computation(n: i64) -> i64 {
# 복잡한 계산
n * n * n
}
F main() -> i64 {
condition := false
# lazy로 감싸면 condition이 false일 때 계산 안 함
expensive := lazy heavy_computation(1000000)
result := I condition {
force expensive
} E {
0 # 계산 건너뜀
}
result
}
무한 시퀀스
재귀적 lazy 값으로 무한 시퀀스를 표현할 수 있습니다:
# 개념적 예제 (실제 구현은 더 복잡할 수 있음)
F fibonacci_lazy(a: i64, b: i64) {
lazy {
next := a + b
next
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
fib1 := lazy 1
fib2 := lazy 1
fib3 := fibonacci_lazy(force fib1, force fib2)
force fib3 # 2
}
데이터 스트림 처리
대용량 데이터를 처리할 때 필요한 부분만 평가:
F load_large_dataset() -> i64 {
# 큰 데이터셋 로드 (메모리/시간 소모)
1000000
}
F main() -> i64 {
dataset := lazy load_large_dataset()
# 실제로 데이터가 필요할 때만 로드
use_data := true
I use_data {
data := force dataset
data / 1000 # 처리
} E {
0 # 로드하지 않음
}
}
Memoization 패턴
복잡한 계산 결과를 캐싱하여 성능 향상:
F factorial(n: i64) -> i64 {
I n <= 1 {
1
} E {
n * factorial(n - 1)
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
# 복잡한 계산을 lazy로 감싸기
fac10 := lazy factorial(10)
# 여러 번 사용해도 한 번만 계산
sum := force fac10 + force fac10 # factorial(10)은 1번만 실행
sum
}
성능 최적화
언제 사용하나?
- 무거운 계산: CPU 집약적 작업을 지연
- 조건부 로직: 분기에 따라 실행 여부가 결정되는 코드
- I/O 작업: 파일 읽기, 네트워크 요청 등을 필요시에만 수행
- 메모리 절약: 큰 데이터 구조를 필요할 때만 생성
오버헤드
- Thunk 생성 비용이 있으므로, 가벼운 계산에는 비효율적
- 작은 산술 연산(예:
2 + 3)은 lazy로 감싸지 마세요
# 나쁜 예 - 오버헤드가 이득보다 큼
bad := lazy 2 + 3
# 좋은 예 - 무거운 계산
good := lazy expensive_algorithm(large_input)
주의사항
1. 부작용(Side Effects)
부작용이 있는 함수를 lazy로 감싸면 실행 시점이 예측하기 어려워집니다:
# 주의: 로그 순서가 예상과 다를 수 있음
F log_and_compute() -> i64 {
println("로그 메시지") # 언제 실행될까?
42
}
F main() -> i64 {
val := lazy log_and_compute()
# 어느 시점에 로그가 출력될지 불분명
# ...
force val
}
2. 첫 force에서만 부작용 실행
캐싱으로 인해 부작용은 첫 force에서만 발생합니다:
F increment_counter() -> i64 {
# 전역 카운터 증가 (부작용)
counter := counter + 1
counter
}
F main() -> i64 {
val := lazy increment_counter()
force val # 카운터 증가
force val # 카�시된 값 사용, 카운터 증가 안 함
force val # 카�시된 값 사용, 카운터 증가 안 함
# 카운터는 1만 증가함
0
}
3. 타입 일관성
Lazy 값의 타입은 내부 표현식의 타입과 일치해야 합니다:
val := lazy 42 # Lazy<i64>
result := force val # i64
# 타입 불일치 시 컴파일 에러
# bad := force 42 # 42는 lazy 값이 아님
코드젠 세부사항
Vais 컴파일러는 lazy/force를 다음과 같이 처리합니다:
-
lazy expr:
{ i1, T, fn() -> T }구조체 생성computed = false,thunk = || expr초기화
-
force lazy_val:
if !lazy_val.computed { lazy_val.value = lazy_val.thunk(); lazy_val.computed = true }return lazy_val.value
LLVM IR 수준에서는 분기와 함수 포인터 호출로 변환됩니다.
요약
- lazy expr: 표현식 평가를 지연하고 thunk로 감쌈
- force expr: Lazy 값을 평가하고 결과를 캐싱
- 캐싱: 한 번 평가된 값은 재계산하지 않음
- 사용 사례: 무거운 계산, 조건부 실행, I/O 최적화, 메모리 절약
- 주의: 부작용은 첫 force에서만 발생, 가벼운 계산에는 오버헤드
지연 평가는 Vais의 강력한 성능 최적화 도구이며, 함수형 프로그래밍 패턴과 결합하여 효율적이고 우아한 코드를 작성할 수 있게 합니다.
Defer 문 (D)
D 키워드는 현재 스코프가 종료될 때 실행할 표현식을 등록합니다. 리소스 정리, 파일 닫기, 잠금 해제 등에 유용합니다.
기본 문법
D expr
D 뒤에 오는 표현식은 현재 블록 스코프가 끝날 때 자동으로 실행됩니다.
LIFO 실행 순서
여러 D 문이 있을 경우 LIFO(Last In, First Out) 순서로 실행됩니다. 나중에 등록된 defer가 먼저 실행됩니다:
F main() -> i64 {
D puts("third")
D puts("second")
D puts("first")
puts("main body")
0
}
# 출력:
# main body
# first
# second
# third
리소스 정리 패턴
파일 핸들
F read_file(path: str) -> i64 {
fd := open(path, 0)
D close(fd)
# fd를 사용한 작업...
# 함수가 어떻게 종료되든 close(fd)가 호출됨
0
}
메모리 해제
F process() -> i64 {
buf := malloc(1024)
D free(buf)
# buf를 사용한 작업...
# 스코프 종료 시 자동 해제
0
}
에러 핸들링과의 연계
D는 조기 반환(R)이나 에러 상황에서도 실행이 보장됩니다:
F safe_operation() -> i64 {
resource := acquire()
D release(resource)
I check_error() {
R -1 # 에러로 조기 반환해도 release()가 실행됨
}
do_work(resource)
0
}
블록 스코프
D는 선언된 블록 스코프에 바인딩됩니다:
F main() -> i64 {
D puts("outer defer")
{
D puts("inner defer")
puts("inner block")
}
# "inner defer" 출력됨 (내부 블록 종료)
puts("outer block")
0
}
# "outer defer"는 main 함수 종료 시 출력
주의사항
D는 현재 스코프의 끝에서 실행됩니다 (함수 끝이 아닌 블록 끝).- 여러 defer는 LIFO 순서로 실행됩니다.
- defer 내에서 에러가 발생해도 나머지 defer는 계속 실행됩니다.
- defer 표현식은 등록 시점의 변수 값을 캡처합니다.
전역 변수 (G)
G 키워드는 정적 저장 기간(static storage duration)을 가지는 전역 변수를 선언합니다.
기본 문법
G name: Type = value
전역 변수는 프로그램 전체에서 접근 가능하며, 프로그램 시작부터 종료까지 존재합니다.
예제
단순 전역 변수
G counter: i64 = 0
G max_size: i64 = 1024
G pi: f64 = 3.14159265358979
F main() -> i64 {
puts("max_size:")
print_i64(max_size)
0
}
가변 전역 변수
전역 변수는 기본적으로 가변(mutable)입니다:
G total: i64 = 0
F add_to_total(n: i64) -> i64 {
total = total + n
total
}
F main() -> i64 {
add_to_total(10)
add_to_total(20)
add_to_total(30)
total # 60
}
공개 전역 변수
P 키워드와 함께 사용하면 다른 모듈에서 접근 가능합니다:
P G VERSION: i64 = 1
P G DEBUG_MODE: bool = false
타입 지정
전역 변수는 반드시 타입을 명시해야 합니다:
G count: i64 = 0 # i64 타입
G ratio: f64 = 0.5 # f64 타입
G flag: bool = true # bool 타입
스코프 규칙
- 전역 변수는 선언 이후 모든 함수에서 접근 가능합니다.
- 같은 이름의 지역 변수가 있으면 지역 변수가 우선합니다 (shadowing).
- 모듈 간 공유는
P G(public global)로 선언해야 합니다.
주의사항
- 전역 변수의 초기값은 컴파일 타임에 평가 가능한 상수여야 합니다.
- 전역 변수의 과도한 사용은 코드의 추론을 어렵게 만듭니다. 가능하면 함수 파라미터를 통한 명시적 전달을 권장합니다.
- 멀티스레드 환경에서 전역 변수 접근은 동기화가 필요합니다.
Union 타입 (O)
O 키워드는 C 스타일의 비태그(untagged) 유니온을 정의합니다. 모든 필드가 같은 메모리 위치를 공유합니다.
기본 문법
O Name {
field1: Type1,
field2: Type2,
...
}
Enum과의 차이
| 특성 | E (Enum) | O (Union) |
|---|---|---|
| 태그 | 런타임 태그 포함 (tagged) | 태그 없음 (untagged) |
| 안전성 | 패턴 매칭으로 안전한 접근 | 호출자가 활성 필드를 추적해야 함 |
| 메모리 | tag_size + max(variant_size) | max(field_size) |
| 용도 | 일반적인 합 타입 | C interop, 저수준 메모리 제어 |
예제
기본 Union
O Value {
i: i64,
f: f64,
b: bool
}
F main() -> i64 {
v := Value { i: 42 }
# v.i, v.f, v.b 모두 같은 메모리를 참조
# 어떤 필드가 활성인지는 프로그래머가 관리
v.i
}
C Interop
Union은 C 라이브러리와의 FFI(Foreign Function Interface)에서 주로 사용됩니다:
# C의 union sockaddr_in과 호환
O SockAddr {
sa_family: u16,
sa_data: [u8; 14]
}
# C의 union epoll_data와 호환
O EpollData {
ptr: i64,
fd: i32,
u32_val: u32,
u64_val: u64
}
타입 변환 (Type Punning)
Union을 사용하면 같은 비트 패턴을 다른 타입으로 재해석할 수 있습니다:
O FloatBits {
f: f64,
bits: u64
}
F float_to_bits(val: f64) -> u64 {
fb := FloatBits { f: val }
fb.bits
}
메모리 레이아웃
Union의 크기는 가장 큰 필드의 크기와 같습니다. 모든 필드는 오프셋 0에서 시작합니다:
O Example { 메모리 레이아웃:
a: i8, [ a ]
b: i32, [ b b b b ]
c: i64 [ c c c c c c c c ]
}
# sizeof(Example) = 8 (i64의 크기)
# 모든 필드가 offset 0에서 시작
제네릭 Union
Union도 제네릭 타입 파라미터를 지원합니다:
O Either<A, B> {
left: A,
right: B
}
주의사항
- Union 필드 접근은 안전하지 않습니다. 활성화되지 않은 필드를 읽으면 정의되지 않은 동작이 발생할 수 있습니다.
- C interop이 아닌 일반적인 경우에는
E(enum)을 사용하는 것을 권장합니다. Enum은 태그를 통해 안전한 패턴 매칭을 제공합니다. - Union은 Drop trait를 자동으로 호출하지 않습니다. 리소스 정리가 필요하면 수동으로 처리해야 합니다.
매크로 시스템
Vais는 선언적 매크로(declarative macros)를 지원합니다. 매크로는 코드 생성을 위한 패턴 매칭 기반 변환 시스템입니다.
기본 문법
macro name! {
(pattern) => { template }
(pattern) => { template }
}
매크로는 macro 키워드로 정의하며, 이름 뒤에 !를 붙입니다. 여러 규칙(rule)을 가질 수 있으며, 입력 토큰과 매칭되는 첫 번째 규칙이 적용됩니다.
매크로 정의
단순 매크로
macro hello! {
() => { puts("Hello, Vais!") }
}
F main() -> i64 {
hello!()
0
}
파라미터가 있는 매크로
macro max! {
($a:expr, $b:expr) => {
I $a > $b { $a } E { $b }
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
result := max!(10, 20) # 20
result
}
메타변수 (Fragment Specifiers)
메타변수는 $name:kind 형태로 선언합니다:
| 지정자 | 설명 | 예시 |
|---|---|---|
expr | 표현식 | $x:expr -- 1 + 2, foo() |
ty | 타입 | $t:ty -- i64, Vec<i64> |
ident | 식별자 | $name:ident -- foo, my_var |
pat | 패턴 | $p:pat -- Some(x), _ |
stmt | 문장 | $s:stmt -- x := 5 |
block | 블록 | $b:block -- { expr } |
item | 아이템 | $i:item -- 함수, 구조체 정의 |
lit | 리터럴 | $l:lit -- 42, "hello" |
tt | 토큰 트리 | $t:tt -- 임의의 단일 토큰 또는 그룹 |
반복 (Repetition)
매크로에서 가변 개수의 인자를 받으려면 반복 패턴을 사용합니다:
* (0회 이상)
macro vec! {
() => { Vec::new() }
($($item:expr),*) => {
Vec::from([$($item),*])
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
empty := vec!()
nums := vec!(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
0
}
+ (1회 이상)
macro sum! {
($first:expr $(, $rest:expr)+) => {
$first $(+ $rest)+
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
result := sum!(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) # 15
result
}
? (0회 또는 1회)
macro optional_return! {
($val:expr $(, $msg:expr)?) => {
$($msg ;)?
$val
}
}
구분자 (Delimiters)
매크로 호출에는 세 가지 구분자를 사용할 수 있습니다:
macro_name!(...) # 소괄호
macro_name![...] # 대괄호
macro_name!{...} # 중괄호
공개 매크로
P 키워드로 다른 모듈에서 사용 가능하게 합니다:
P macro assert_eq! {
($left:expr, $right:expr) => {
I $left != $right {
puts("Assertion failed!")
}
}
}
실전 예제
Debug 출력 매크로
macro dbg! {
($val:expr) => {
puts("dbg:")
print_i64($val)
$val
}
}
조건부 실행
macro when! {
($cond:expr, $body:block) => {
I $cond $body
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
x := 42
when!(x > 0, {
puts("positive")
})
0
}
주의사항
- 매크로는 컴파일 타임에 확장됩니다. 런타임 오버헤드가 없습니다.
- 매크로 확장 결과는 일반 코드와 동일하게 타입 검사됩니다.
- 재귀 매크로를 사용할 때 확장 깊이 제한에 주의하세요.
- 복잡한 로직에는 매크로 대신 제네릭 함수를 사용하는 것을 권장합니다.
컴파일 타임 기능
Compile-Time Evaluation (comptime) Feature
Overview
The comptime feature allows Vais code to execute expressions at compile time, enabling powerful metaprogramming capabilities and compile-time optimizations. This is inspired by Zig's comptime feature.
Syntax
Basic comptime Expression
C ARRAY_SIZE = comptime { 4 * 8 }
comptime Block
F calculate_hash()->i64 = comptime {
x := 5381
L i:0..10 {
x = x * 33 + i
}
x
}
comptime Function (Future Feature)
comptime F factorial(n: i64) -> i64 = I n <= 1 { 1 } E { n * @(n - 1) }
Features
Supported Operations
The comptime evaluator supports the following operations:
-
Arithmetic Operations
- Integer:
+,-,*,/,% - Float:
+,-,*,/ - Bitwise:
&,|,^,<<,>>
- Integer:
-
Logical Operations
- Boolean:
&&,||,!
- Boolean:
-
Comparison Operations
<,<=,>,>=,==,!=
-

- Memory allocation (heap allocations)
- External function calls (except pure, compile-time evaluable functions)
- Mutable global state
- Side effects
Implementation
Architecture
The comptime feature is implemented in several layers:
-
Lexer (
vais-lexer)- Added
comptimekeyword token
- Added
-
AST (
vais-ast)- Added
Expr::Comptime { body: Box<Spanned<Expr>> }variant
- Added
-
Parser (
vais-parser)- Parses
comptime { expr }syntax - Validates block structure
- Parses
-
Evaluator (
vais-types/src/comptime.rs)- Interprets AST at compile time
- Evaluates expressions to concrete values
- Maintains compile-time scope and variable bindings
-
Type Checker (
vais-types)- Evaluates comptime expressions during type checking
- Verifies type consistency
- Returns the type of the evaluated result
-
Code Generator (
vais-codegen)- Replaces comptime expressions with their evaluated constants
- Emits LLVM IR for constant values
Evaluation Process
Source Code → Parse → Type Check (Evaluate comptime) → Codegen (Emit constant)
Example:
F test()->i64 = comptime { 4 * 8 }
- Parser creates:
Expr::Comptime { body: Binary { op: Mul, left: 4, right: 8 } } - Type checker evaluates:
ComptimeValue::Int(32) - Type checker returns:
ResolvedType::I64 - Codegen emits:
32(constant in LLVM IR)
Examples
Example 1: Simple Arithmetic
F array_size()->i64 = comptime { 4 * 8 }
# Evaluates to: F array_size()->i64 = 32
Example 2: Loop Calculation
F compute_hash()->i64 = comptime {
x := 5381
L i:0..10 {
x = x * 33 + i
}
x
}
# Evaluates to a constant computed at compile time
Example 3: Conditional Logic
F get_config()->i64 = comptime {
debug := true
I debug {
100
} E {
50

# Evaluates to: F get_config()->i64 = 100
Example 4: Factorial
F factorial_five()->i64 = comptime {
n := 5
result := 1
L i:1..=n {
result = result * i
}
result
}
# Evaluates to: F factorial_five()->i64 = 120
Example 5: Power Calculation
F power_of_two()->i64 = comptime {
base := 2
exp := 10
result := 1
L i:0..exp {
result = result * base
}
result
}
# Evaluates to: F power_of_two()->i64 = 1024
Use Cases
1. Constant Array Sizes
C SIZE = comptime { calculate_optimal_size() }
arr: [i64; SIZE]
2. Configuration Values
C MAX_CONNECTIONS = comptime {
I is_production() { 1000 } E { 10 }
}
3. Compile-Time Hashing
C STRING_HASH = comptime { hash("my_constant_string") }
4. Type-Level Computation
C ELEMENT_SIZE = comptime { size_of::<MyType>() }
C ARRAY_ELEMENTS = comptime { BUFFER_SIZE / ELEMENT_SIZE }
Performance Benefits
-
Zero Runtime Cost: Comptime expressions are evaluated during compilation, resulting in zero runtime overhead.
-
Optimization: The compiler can better optimize code with compile-time constants.
-
Compile-Time Validation: Errors in comptime expressions are caught at compile time, not runtime.
-
Code Size Reduction: Eliminates need for runtime calculation code.
Error Handling
Comptime evaluation can fail with the following errors:
- Type Mismatch: Incompatible types in operations
- Division by Zero: Attempting to divide by zero at compile time
- Undefined Variable: Using an undeclared variable
- Overflow: Integer overflow in arithmetic operations
- Non-Pure Operation: Attempting I/O or other impure operations
Example error:
F test()->i64 = comptime {
x := 10
y := 0
x / y # Error: division by zero at compile time
}
Future Enhancements
-
Comptime Functions: Functions marked as
comptimethat can only be called at compile time -
Comptime Reflection: Access to type information at compile time
-
Comptime String Manipulation: String operations in comptime blocks
-
Comptime Type Generation: Generate types based on comptime calculations
-
Comptime Assertions: Static assertions that must hold at compile time
# Future syntax
comptime_assert(SIZE > 0, "Size must be positive")
Comparison with Other Languages
Zig
Vais comptime is inspired by Zig's comptime:
// Zig
const size = comptime calculateSize();
// Vais
C size = comptime { calculateSize() }
C++ constexpr
Similar to C++ constexpr but with a more explicit syntax:
// C++
constexpr int factorial(int n) {
return n <= 1 ? 1 : n * factorial(n - 1);
}
// Vais
comptime F factorial(n: i64) -> i64 = I n <= 1 { 1 } E { n * @(n - 1) }
Rust const fn
Similar to Rust's const fn:
// Rust
const fn add(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 {
a + b
}
// Vais
comptime F add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 = a + b

Quick Start
U std/vec
F main() -> i64 {
v := Vec::new()
v.push(10)
v.push(20)
print_i64(v.get(0)) # 10
R 0
}
API 요약
| 함수 | 설명 | 시간 복잡도 |
|---|---|---|
Vec::new() | 빈 Vec 생성 (capacity=16) | O(1) |
Vec::with_capacity(n) | 지정 capacity로 생성 | O(n) |
push(val) | 끝에 요소 추가 | O(1) 평균 |
pop() | 끝 요소 제거 반환 | O(1) |
get(idx) | 인덱스로 읽기 | O(1) |

len() | 요소 개수 | O(1) |
capacity() | 할당 용량 | O(1) |
is_empty() | 빈 벡터 여부 | O(1) |
clear() | 모든 요소 제거 | O(1) |
실용 예제
예제 1: 기본 생성 및 순회
U std/vec
F main() -> i64 {
v := Vec::new()
v.push(1)
v.push(2)
v.push(3)
i := 0
L i < v.len() {
print_i64(v.get(i))
i = i + 1
}
R 0
}
예제 2: 사전 할당으로 성능 최적화
U std/vec
F process_data(count: i64) -> Vec<i64> {
# 재할당 방지: 미리 용량 확보
v := Vec::with_capacity(count)
i := 0
L i < count {
v.push(i * 2)
i = i + 1
}
R v
}
예제 3: 중간 삽입 및 제거
U std/vec
F main() -> i64 {
v := Vec::new()
v.push(10)
v.push(30)
# 인덱스 1에 20 삽입 (10, 20, 30)
v.insert(1, 20)
# 인덱스 0 제거 (20, 30)
removed := v.remove(0)
print_i64(removed) # 10
R 0
}
예제 4: 제네릭 Vec 사용
U std/vec
S Point { x: i64, y: i64 }
F main() -> i64 {
points := Vec::new()
points.push(Point { x: 10, y: 20 })
points.push(Point { x: 30, y: 40 })
p := points.get(0)
print_i64(p.x) # 10
R 0
}
예제 5: 슬라이스로 변환
U std/vec
F sum_vec(v: Vec<i64>) -> i64 {
# Vec을 슬라이스로 변환하여 이터레이션
slice := v.as_slice()
total := 0
i := 0
L i < slice.len() {
total = total + slice[i]
i = i + 1
}
R total
}
F main() -> i64 {
v := Vec::new()
v.push(1)
v.push(2)
v.push(3)
print_i64(sum_vec(v)) # 6
R 0
}
주의사항
1. 범위 검사
get()과 set()은 경계 검사를 수행합니다. 범위 밖 접근 시 0 또는 기본값을 반환하지만, 프로덕션 코드에서는 len() 체크를 먼저 수행하세요.
# 안전한 패턴
I idx >= 0 && idx < v.len() {
val := v.get(idx)
# 사용
}
2. 용량 관리
빈번한 push() 호출 시 자동 재할당이 발생합니다. 최종 크기를 미리 알면 with_capacity()를 사용하세요.
# 나쁜 예: 10,000번 재할당 가능
v := Vec::new()
L i < 10000 { v.push(i); i = i + 1 }
# 좋은 예: 재할당 0회
v := Vec::with_capacity(10000)
L i < 10000 { v.push(i); i = i + 1 }
3. 메모리 누수 방지
Vec는 GC를 사용하거나, 명시적으로 free(v.data)를 호출해야 합니다. 긴 생명주기 Vec는 메모리 누수 위험이 있습니다.
4. 타입 크기 제약
현재 구현은 type_size() 빌트인에 의존합니다. 복잡한 nested 타입은 elem_size 필드를 직접 설정해야 할 수 있습니다.
5. 슬라이스 변환
as_slice()는 Vec의 내부 버퍼를 참조하는 fat pointer(&[T])를 반환합니다. Vec가 재할당되면 슬라이스가 무효화될 수 있습니다.
v := Vec::new()
v.push(1)
slice := v.as_slice() # 버퍼 주소 저장
v.push(2) # 재할당 발생 가능!
# slice는 이제 dangling pointer

개요

Quick Start
U std/hashmap
F main() -> i64 {
m := HashMap::new()
m.set(1, 100)
m.set(2, 200)
val := m.get(1) # 100
R 0
}
API 요약
| 함수 | 설명 | 시간 복잡도 |
|---|---|---|
HashMap::new() | 빈 HashMap 생성 (capacity=16) | O(1) |
HashMap::with_capacity(n) | 지정 capacity로 생성 | O(n) |
set(key, val) | 키-값 삽입/업데이트 | O(1) 평균 |
get(key) | 키로 값 조회 | O(1) 평균 |
contains(key) | 키 존재 여부 | O(1) 평균 |
remove(key) | 키-값 쌍 제거 | O(1) 평균 |
len() | 요소 개수 | O(1) |
is_empty() | 빈 맵 여부 | O(1) |
clear() | 모든 요소 제거 | O(n) |
실용 예제
예제 1: 기본 사용법
U std/hashmap
F main() -> i64 {
scores := HashMap::new()
# 삽입
scores.set(100, 85) # ID 100 학생의 점수 85
scores.set(101, 92)
scores.set(102, 78)
# 조회
I scores.contains(101) {
score := scores.get(101)
print_i64(score) # 92
}
# 제거
scores.remove(102)
R 0
}
예제 2: 빈도 카운팅
U std/hashmap
U std/vec
F count_frequencies(numbers: Vec<i64>) -> HashMap<i64,i64> {
freq := HashMap::new()
i := 0
L i < numbers.len() {
num := numbers.get(i)
count := I freq.contains(num) { freq.get(num) } E { 0 }
freq.set(num, count + 1)
i = i + 1
}
R freq
}
F main() -> i64 {
v := Vec::new()
v.push(1)
v.push(2)
v.push(1)
v.push(3)
v.push(2)
v.push(1)
freq := count_frequencies(v)
print_i64(freq.get(1)) # 3 (1이 3번 등장)
R 0
}
예제 3: 캐시 구현
U std/hashmap
S Cache<K,V> {
map: HashMap<K,V>,
max_size: i64
}
X Cache<K,V> {
F new(max_size: i64) -> Cache<K,V> {
Cache {
map: HashMap::with_capacity(max_size),
max_size: max_size
}
}
F get_or_compute(&self, key: K, compute_fn: F(K) -> V) -> V {
I self.map.contains(key) {
R self.map.get(key)
}
# 캐시 미스 - 계산 후 저장
value := compute_fn(key)
I self.map.len() < self.max_size {
self.map.set(key, value)
}
R value
}
}
예제 4: StringMap 사용 (문자열 키 최적화)
U std/stringmap
F main() -> i64 {
config := StringMap::new()
# 문자열 키-값 저장
config.set("host", "127.0.0.1")
config.set("port", "8080")
config.set("debug", "true")
# 조회
host := config.get("host")
I host != 0 {
print_str(host) # "127.0.0.1"
}
R 0
}
예제 5: 해시 충돌 처리 확인
U std/hashmap
F main() -> i64 {
m := HashMap::with_capacity(4) # 작은 capacity로 충돌 유도
# 많은 키 삽입 (자동 rehash)
i := 0
L i < 100 {
m.set(i, i * 2)
i = i + 1
}
# 모두 정상 조회 가능
print_i64(m.get(50)) # 100
print_i64(m.len()) # 100
R 0
}
주의사항
1. 해시 함수 선택
현재 구현은 mult_hash(key) 함수를 사용합니다. 커스텀 타입을 키로 사용하려면 해시 함수를 구현해야 합니다.
# 커스텀 해시 필요
S CustomKey { id: i64, name: i64 }
F hash_custom(k: CustomKey) -> i64 {
R k.id * 31 + hash_str(k.name)
}
2. Rehashing 오버헤드
load factor(len/capacity)가 0.75를 초과하면 자동 rehash가 발생합니다. 대량 삽입 전에 with_capacity()로 충분한 용량을 확보하세요.
# 나쁜 예: 여러 번 rehash
m := HashMap::new() # capacity=16
L i < 10000 { m.set(i, i); i = i + 1 } # ~log(n) rehash
# 좋은 예: rehash 0~1회
m := HashMap::with_capacity(15000) # 10000 / 0.75 ≈ 13333
L i < 10000 { m.set(i, i); i = i + 1 }
3. 메모리 누수
제거된 Entry 노드는 명시적으로 free()되어야 합니다. 현재 clear()는 bucket 포인터만 초기화하므로, 긴 생명주기 HashMap은 누수 위험이 있습니다.
4. StringMap vs HashMap
문자열 키만 사용한다면 StringMap이 더 효율적입니다. 내부적으로 문자열 전용 해시 함수를 사용하여 성능이 향상됩니다.
# 문자열 키 → StringMap 사용
config := StringMap::new()
config.set("key", "value")
# 정수 키 → HashMap 사용
scores := HashMap::new()
scores.set(123, 456)
5. 반복 순서 미보장
HashMap은 해시 순서로 저장되므로, 삽입 순서와 무관합니다. 순서가 중요하면 BTreeMap을 사용하세요.
6. 동시성 주의
HashMap은 thread-safe하지 않습니다. 멀티스레드 환경에서는 Mutex<HashMap<K,V>>로 래핑하세요.
U std/sync
U std/hashmap
global_cache := Mutex::new(HashMap::new())
F thread_safe_insert(key: i64, val: i64) -> i64 {
guard := global_cache.lock()
cache := guard.get_inner()
cache.set(key, val)
R 0
}

f.seek(0, SEEK_END)
file_size := f.tell()
print_i64(file_size)
f.close()
R 1
}
예제 5: Append 모드로 로그 추가
U std/file
U std/datetime
F append_log(path: i64, message: i64) -> i64 {
f := File::open_append(path)
I !f.is_valid() { R 1 }
# 타임스탬프 + 메시지 추가
timestamp := get_time()
f.write_str("[")
f.write_str(timestamp)
f.write_str("] ")
f.write_str(message)
f.write_str("\n")
f.close()
R 0
}
F main() -> i64 {
append_log("server.log", "Server started")
append_log("server.log", "Request received")
R 0
}
주의사항
1. 파일 핸들 검증
open_* 함수는 실패 시 handle=0인 File을 반환합니다. 항상 is_valid()로 검증하세요.
f := File::open_read(path)
I !f.is_valid() {
# 에러 처리 (파일 없음, 권한 없음 등)
R 1
}
2. 파일 닫기 필수
파일을 열면 반드시 close()를 호출하세요. GC는 FILE* 핸들을 자동으로 닫지 않으므로, 파일 디스크립터 누수가 발생합니다.
# 나쁜 예
F bad() {
f := File::open_write("temp.txt")
f.write_str("data")
# close() 호출 안 함!
}
# 좋은 예
F good() {
f := File::open_write("temp.txt")
D f.close() # defer로 자동 정리
f.write_str("data")
}
3. 바이너리 vs 텍스트
read_bytes/write_bytes: 바이너리 데이터 (구조체, 배열 등)read_str/write_str: 텍스트 데이터 (null-terminated 문자열)
Windows에서는 텍스트 모드("r")와 바이너리 모드("rb")가 줄바꿈 처리에서 다릅니다. 바이너리 데이터는 항상 "rb"/"wb" 모드를 사용하세요.
4. 버퍼 크기 제한
read_str(max_len)은 최대 max_len 바이트까지만 읽습니다. 큰 파일은 청크 단위로 읽거나, 메모리 매핑을 고려하세요.
# 대용량 파일 처리
F process_large_file(path: i64) -> i64 {
f := File::open_read(path)
L f.is_valid() {
chunk := f.read_bytes(buffer, 4096)
I chunk == 0 { B } # EOF
process_chunk(buffer, chunk)
}
f.close()
R 0
}
5. Seek 원점 상수
SEEK_SET(0): 파일 시작SEEK_CUR(1): 현재 위치SEEK_END(2): 파일 끝
음수 offset은 SEEK_END와 함께 사용하여 끝에서부터 역방향 이동할 수 있습니다.
# 파일 끝에서 100바이트 앞으로 이동
f.seek(-100, SEEK_END)
6. 에러 처리
현재 구현은 실패 시 0 또는 invalid handle을 반환합니다. 프로덕션 코드에서는 Result<T,E>로 래핑하여 상세 에러 정보를 전달하세요.
U std/result
E FileError {
NotFound,
PermissionDenied,
IOError
}
F open_checked(path: i64) -> Result<File, FileError> {
f := File::open_read(path)
I !f.is_valid() {
# errno 확인하여 적절한 에러 반환
R Err(FileError::NotFound)
}
R Ok(f)
}
7. 플랫폼 경로 구분자
Windows는 \, Unix는 /를 사용합니다. 크로스 플랫폼 코드에서는 std/path 모듈을 사용하세요.
U std/path
path := Path::join("data", "config.txt") # 플랫폼 자동 감지
f := File::open_read(path)

실용 예제
예제 1: Echo 서버
U std/net
F handle_client(client: TcpStream) -> i64 {
buffer := malloc(1024)
L 1 {
bytes := client.recv(buffer, 1024)
I bytes <= 0 { B } # 연결 종료
# Echo back
client.send(buffer, bytes)
}
client.close()
R 0

I !client.is_valid() {
R 0
}
# HTTP 요청 전송
client.send("GET ")
client.send(path)
client.send(" HTTP/1.1\r\n")
client.send("Host: ")
client.send(host)
client.send("\r\n\r\n")
# 응답 수신

print_str(buffer)
client.close()
R 1
}
F main() -> i64 {
http_get("example.com", "/")
R 0
}
예제 3: 멀티스레드 서버
U std/net
U std/thread
F worker_thread(client_ptr: i64) -> i64 {
client := load_typed(client_ptr) # TcpStream 복원
buffer := malloc(1024)
L 1 {
bytes := client.recv(buffer, 1024)
I bytes <= 0 { B }
client.send("Received: ")
client.send(buffer, bytes)
}
client.close()
R 0
}
F main() -> i64 {
server := TcpListener::bind("0.0.0.0", 8080)
server.set_reuseaddr(1)
L 1 {
client := server.accept()
I client.is_valid() {
# 클라이언트마다 스레드 생성
thread_spawn(worker_thread, &client)
}
}
R 0
}
예제 4: UDP 메시지 전송
U std/net
F udp_client() -> i64 {
sock := UdpSocket::bind("0.0.0.0", 0) # 임의 포트
message := "Hello, UDP!"
# 서버로 전송
sock.send_to(message, strlen(message), "127.0.0.1", 9000)
# 응답 수신
buffer := malloc(512)
sender_addr := malloc(64)
sender_port := 0
bytes := sock.recv_from(buffer, 512, sender_addr, &sender_port)
print_str(buffer)
sock.close()
R 0
}
F udp_server() -> i64 {
sock := UdpSocket::bind("0.0.0.0", 9000)
buffer := malloc(512)
sender_addr := malloc(64)
L 1 {
sender_port := 0
bytes := sock.recv_from(buffer, 512, sender_addr, &sender_port)
I bytes > 0 {
# Echo back to sender
sock.send_to(buffer, bytes, sender_addr, sender_port)
}
}
R 0
}
예제 5: 논블로킹 소켓과 타임아웃
U std/net
F nonblocking_client(host: i64, port: i64) -> i64 {
client := TcpStream::connect(host, port)
I !client.is_valid() { R 1 }
# 논블로킹 모드 + 5초 타임아웃
client.set_nonblocking(1)
client.set_timeout(5000)
buffer := malloc(1024)
bytes := client.recv(buffer, 1024)
I bytes > 0 {
print_str(buffer)
} E I bytes == 0 {
print_str("연결 종료")
} E {
print_str("타임아웃 또는 에러")
}
client.close()
R 0
}
주의사항
1. 소켓 닫기 필수
네트워크 소켓은 파일 디스크립터를 소비합니다. 항상 close()를 호출하여 리소스를 반환하세요.
client := TcpStream::connect(host, port)
D client.close() # defer로 자동 정리
# 작업 수행
2. 바이너리 데이터 처리
send()와 recv()는 바이너리 데이터를 처리합니다. 문자열 전송 시 길이를 명시하세요.
# 나쁜 예
client.send("Hello") # strlen("Hello")이 자동으로 계산되지 않음!
# 좋은 예
msg := "Hello"
client.send(msg, strlen(msg))
3. 부분 전송/수신
send()는 버퍼 전체를 한 번에 보내지 못할 수 있습니다. 반환값을 확인하고 반복하세요.
F send_all(sock: TcpStream, data: i64, len: i64) -> i64 {
sent := 0
L sent < len {
n := sock.send(data + sent, len - sent)
I n <= 0 { R 0 } # 실패
sent = sent + n
}
R 1
}
4. IPv6 지원
AF_INET6 상수는 플랫폼마다 다릅니다. IPv6 주소는 "::" 형식으로 전달하세요.
# IPv6 서버
server := TcpListener::bind("::", 8080) # 모든 IPv6 인터페이스
# IPv6 클라이언트
client := TcpStream::connect("::1", 8080) # localhost IPv6
5. 타임아웃 에러 처리
set_timeout() 설정 후 recv()가 타임아웃되면 -1을 반환합니다. errno를 확인하여 구분하세요.
bytes := client.recv(buffer, 1024)
I bytes < 0 {
# 타임아웃인지 다른 에러인지 확인
I errno == EAGAIN || errno == EWOULDBLOCK {
print_str("타임아웃")
} E {
print_str("네트워크 에러")
}
}
6. SO_REUSEADDR 필수 (서버)
서버 프로그램을 재시작할 때 "Address already in use" 에러를 방지하려면 반드시 설정하세요.
server := TcpListener::bind(host, port)
server.set_reuseaddr(1) # 필수!
7. 논블로킹 모드 주의
논블로킹 소켓에서 recv()는 데이터가 없으면 즉시 -1을 반환합니다. 이벤트 루프(epoll/kqueue)와 함께 사용하세요.
# 논블로킹 + 이벤트 루프 패턴
client.set_nonblocking(1)
L 1 {
bytes := client.recv(buffer, 1024)
I bytes > 0 {
process_data(buffer, bytes)
} E I bytes == 0 {
B # 연결 종료
} E {
# EAGAIN → 데이터 대기, 다른 에러 → 종료
I errno != EAGAIN { B }
}
}
8. 플랫폼별 상수 차이
SOL_SOCKET, AF_INET6 등의 값은 OS마다 다릅니다. #[cfg(target_os)] 속성으로 분기된 정의를 사용하세요.

실용 예제
예제 1: 병렬 계산
U std/thread

L i < 1000 {
guard := counter.mutex.lock()
value := guard.get_inner()
store_i64(value, load_i64(value) + 1)
# guard 소멸 시 자동 unlock

}
R 0
}
F main() -> i64 {

mutex: Mutex::new(0)
}
# 10개 스레드 생성

threads.push(handle)
i = i + 1
}
# 모두 대기
i = 0
L i < threads.len() {
thread_join(threads.get(i))
i = i + 1
}
# 최종 값 확인
guard := counter.mutex.lock()
print_i64(load_i64(guard.get_inner())) # 10000
R 0
}
예제 4: 스레드 풀 패턴
U std/thread
U std/channel
U std/vec
S ThreadPool {
workers: Vec<i64>,
sender: Sender<i64>
}
F worker_thread(receiver_ptr: i64) -> i64 {
receiver := load_typed(receiver_ptr)
L 1 {
task := receiver.recv()
I task == 0 { B } # 종료 신호
# 작업 실행
result := task()
print_i64(result)
}
R 0
}
X ThreadPool {
F new(size: i64) -> ThreadPool {
channel := channel_new(100)
workers := Vec::new()
i := 0
L i < size {
handle := thread_spawn(worker_thread, &channel.receiver)
workers.push(handle)
i = i + 1
}
ThreadPool {
workers: workers,
sender: channel.sender
}
}
F submit(&self, task: i64) {
self.sender.send(task)
}

# 종료 신호 전송
i := 0
L i < self.workers.len() {
self.sender.send(0)
i = i + 1
}
# 모든 스레드 조인
i = 0
L i < self.workers.len() {
thread_join(self.workers.get(i))
i = i + 1
}
}
}
예제 5: 스레드 로컬 저장소 (TLS)
U std/thread
# 스레드별 고유 ID 저장
global tls_key := 0
F init_tls() -> i64 {
tls_key = __tls_create()
R 0
}
F set_thread_id(id: i64) {
__tls_set(tls_key, id)
}
F get_thread_id() -> i64 {
R __tls_get(tls_key)
}
F worker(id: i64) -> i64 {
set_thread_id(id)
thread_sleep(100)
my_id := get_thread_id()
print_i64(my_id) # 각 스레드는 고유 ID 출력
R 0
}
F main() -> i64 {
init_tls()
i := 0
L i < 5 {
thread_spawn(worker, i)
i = i + 1
}
thread_sleep(1000) # 모든 스레드 대기
R 0
}
주의사항
1. 스레드 조인 필수
thread_spawn()으로 생성한 스레드는 반드시 thread_join() 또는 thread_detach()를 호출하세요. 그렇지 않으면 리소스 누수가 발생합니다.
# 나쁜 예
handle := thread_spawn(worker, arg)
# join/detach 없음!
# 좋은 예 1: 결과 대기
handle := thread_spawn(worker, arg)
result := thread_join(handle)
# 좋은 예 2: 백그라운드 실행
handle := thread_spawn(worker, arg)
thread_detach(handle)
2. 공유 메모리 경쟁 조건
여러 스레드가 같은 메모리를 동시에 쓰면 데이터 경쟁(Data Race)이 발생합니다. 반드시 Mutex 또는 RwLock으로 보호하세요.
# 나쁜 예: 경쟁 조건
global counter := 0
F bad_worker() -> i64 {
counter = counter + 1 # 원자성 없음!
R 0
}
# 좋은 예: Mutex 보호
global safe_counter := Mutex::new(0)
F good_worker() -> i64 {
guard := safe_counter.lock()
val := guard.get_inner()
store_i64(val, load_i64(val) + 1)
R 0
}
3. Deadlock 방지
여러 Mutex를 동시에 잠글 때는 항상 같은 순서로 잠그세요.
# Deadlock 발생 가능
F thread1() {
lock_a := mutex_a.lock()
lock_b := mutex_b.lock() # A → B 순서
}
F thread2() {
lock_b := mutex_b.lock()
lock_a := mutex_a.lock() # B → A 순서 (Deadlock!)
}
# 안전한 방법: 일관된 순서
F safe_thread() {
lock_a := mutex_a.lock() # 항상 A → B
lock_b := mutex_b.lock()
}
4. 스레드 수 제한
OS는 프로세스당 스레드 수를 제한합니다 (Linux 기본 ~1000). 대량 동시 작업은 스레드 풀을 사용하세요.
# 나쁜 예: 10,000개 스레드 생성
L i < 10000 {
thread_spawn(worker, i)
}
# 좋은 예: 스레드 풀 재사용
pool := ThreadPool::new(8) # 8개 워커 스레드
L i < 10000 {
pool.submit(task)
}
5. 스레드 간 에러 전파
스레드 함수는 i64를 반환하므로, 에러 코드를 전달해야 합니다.
F worker(arg: i64) -> i64 {
I arg < 0 {
R -1 # 에러 코드
}
R compute(arg)
}
F main() -> i64 {
handle := thread_spawn(worker, -5)
result := thread_join(handle)
I result < 0 {
print_str("스레드 에러 발생")
}
R 0
}
6. 스레드 안전 함수
Vais 표준 라이브러리의 대부분 함수는 thread-safe하지 않습니다. 특히:
malloc()/free(): 대부분의 구현은 thread-safeprint_str(): 출력 순서가 섞일 수 있음HashMap/Vec: Mutex로 보호 필요
7. 스레드 스케줄링
thread_yield()는 현재 스레드의 CPU 타임슬라이스를 포기하고 다른 스레드에 양보합니다. Busy-waiting 루프에서 유용합니다.
# 나쁜 예: CPU 100% 사용
L !ready {
# busy-wait
}
# 좋은 예: CPU 양보
L !ready {
thread_yield()
}
8. 플랫폼 차이
- POSIX:
pthread_create(),pthread_join() - Windows:
CreateThread(),WaitForSingleObject()
대부분의 동작은 동일하지만, TLS API와 우선순위 설정은 플랫폼마다 다릅니다.

thread_spawn(fast_producer, &ch.sender)
thread_spawn(slow_consumer, &ch.receiver)
thread_sleep(15000)

예제 5: 논블로킹 송수신
U std/channel
F main() -> i64 {
ch := channel_new(2)
# 논블로킹 전송
success := ch.sender.try_send(10)
print_i64(success) # 1 (성공)
ch.sender.try_send(20)
ch.sender.try_send(30) # 버퍼 full (capacity=2)
success = ch.sender.try_send(40)
print_i64(success) # 0 (실패)
# 논블로킹 수신
value := ch.receiver.try_recv()
I value != 0 {
print_i64(value) # 10
}
R 0
}
주의사항
1. Deadlock 위험
모든 Sender가 닫히지 않으면 Receiver가 영원히 블로킹됩니다.
# Deadlock 발생
ch := channel_new(1)
value := ch.receiver.recv() # 영원히 대기 (아무도 send 안 함)
# 해결: 타임아웃 또는 별도 스레드에서 send
spawn { ch.sender.send(42) }
value = ch.receiver.recv()
2. Bounded vs Unbounded
- Bounded: 고정 용량, 버퍼 full 시 sender 블로킹, 메모리 예측 가능
- Unbounded: 무제한 용량, sender 절대 블로킹, 메모리 폭발 위험
# Bounded: 백프레셔(Backpressure) 제공
ch := channel_new(10)
L i < 1000 {
ch.send(i) # 버퍼 full이면 대기 (consumer가 따라잡을 때까지)
}
# Unbounded: 메모리 누수 위험
ch := unbounded_channel_new()
L i < 1000000 {
ch.send(i) # 계속 누적 (consumer가 느리면 메모리 부족)
}
3. 채널 닫기
close()를 호출하면 더 이상 send할 수 없습니다. Receiver는 남은 메시지를 모두 수신 후 0 반환합니다.
ch := channel_new(5)
ch.send(1)
ch.send(2)
ch.close()
# ch.send(3) # 패닉 또는 무시됨
print_i64(ch.recv()) # 1
print_i64(ch.recv()) # 2
print_i64(ch.recv()) # 0 (채널 닫힘)
4. Select의 공정성
channel_select()는 첫 번째 준비된 채널을 선택합니다. 여러 채널이 동시에 준비되면 인덱스 순서대로 우선합니다.
# ch1과 ch2 모두 준비 → ch1 선택됨 (인덱스 0)
idx := channel_select(&[ch1, ch2], 2)
5. 메모리 관리
Channel 내부 버퍼는 동적 할당됩니다. 프로그램 종료 전 free()를 호출하거나 GC에 의존하세요.
6. MPMC (Multiple Producer Multiple Consumer)
Vais Channel은 MPMC를 지원합니다. 여러 스레드가 동시에 send/recv 가능합니다.
ch := channel_new(10)
# 3개 producer
L i < 3 {
spawn { L j < 100 { ch.send(j) } }
}
# 2개 consumer
L i < 2 {
spawn { L j < 150 { ch.recv() } }
}
7. 타임아웃 패턴
현재 구현은 타임아웃 내장 함수가 없습니다. Select와 timer 채널을 조합하세요.
F recv_with_timeout(ch: &Receiver<i64>, ms: i64) -> i64? {
timer := channel_new(1)
spawn {
thread_sleep(ms)
timer.send(0) # 타임아웃 신호
}
idx := channel_select(&[ch, &timer.receiver], 2)
I idx == 0 {
R Some(ch.recv())
} E {
R None # 타임아웃
}
}
8. 채널 용량 0 (Rendezvous)
Capacity=0인 채널은 Sender와 Receiver가 동시에 만날 때만 전송됩니다.
ch := channel_new(0) # Rendezvous channel
spawn { ch.send(42) } # Receiver 대기
value := ch.recv() # Sender와 동기화

실용 예제
예제 1: Mutex로 공유 상태 보호

thread_spawn(reader, i)

}
thread_spawn(writer, 0)
thread_sleep(2000)
R 0
}
예제 3: Condvar로 이벤트 대기
U std/sync
U std/thread
S EventQueue {
mutex: Mutex<Vec<i64>>,
condvar: Condvar
}
F producer(queue_ptr: i64) -> i64 {
queue := load_typed(queue_ptr)

# 이벤트 없으면 대기
L events.is_empty() {
queue.condvar.wait(&queue.mutex)
}
event := events.remove(0)
print_str("소비: ~{event}")
I event >= 9 { B } # 종료 조건
}
R 0
}
F main() -> i64 {

mutex: Mutex::new(Vec::new()),
condvar: Condvar::new()
}
thread_spawn(producer, &queue)
thread_spawn(consumer, &queue)
thread_sleep(2000)
R 0
}
예제 4: Barrier로 스레드 동기화
U std/sync
U std/thread
global barrier := Barrier::new(3)
F phase_worker(id: i64) -> i64 {
# Phase 1
print_str("스레드 ~{id}: Phase 1 시작")
thread_sleep(id * 100)
print_str("스레드 ~{id}: Phase 1 완료")
barrier.wait() # 모든 스레드 대기
# Phase 2 (모두 동시 시작)
print_str("스레드 ~{id}: Phase 2 시작")
thread_sleep(id * 100)
print_str("스레드 ~{id}: Phase 2 완료")
barrier.wait()
# Phase 3
print_str("스레드 ~{id}: Phase 3 시작")
R 0
}
F main() -> i64 {
thread_spawn(phase_worker, 0)
thread_spawn(phase_worker, 1)
thread_spawn(phase_worker, 2)
thread_sleep(2000)
R 0
}
예제 5: Semaphore로 리소스 제한
U std/sync
U std/thread
# 동시 접근 최대 3개로 제한
global db_pool := Semaphore::new(3)
F database_query(id: i64) -> i64 {
print_str("~{id}: 연결 대기 중...")
db_pool.acquire() # 허가 획득
print_str("~{id}: 쿼리 실행 중")
thread_sleep(500) # DB 작업 시뮬레이션
db_pool.release() # 허가 반환
print_str("~{id}: 연결 해제")
R 0
}
F main() -> i64 {
# 10개 스레드가 3개 연결 공유
i := 0
L i < 10 {
thread_spawn(database_query, i)
i = i + 1
}
thread_sleep(5000)
R 0
}
주의사항
1. Lock 순서 (Deadlock 방지)
여러 Mutex를 동시에 잠글 때는 일관된 순서를 유지하세요.
# Deadlock 발생 가능
F thread1() {
lock_a := mutex_a.lock()
lock_b := mutex_b.lock() # A → B
}
F thread2() {
lock_b := mutex_b.lock()
lock_a := mutex_a.lock() # B → A (Deadlock!)
}
# 안전한 방법
F safe_order() {
lock_a := mutex_a.lock() # 항상 A → B 순서
lock_b := mutex_b.lock()
}
2. Guard 생명주기
MutexGuard는 소멸 시 자동으로 unlock합니다. Guard를 너무 오래 유지하면 다른 스레드가 블로킹됩니다.
# 나쁜 예: 락을 오래 유지
guard := mutex.lock()
expensive_computation() # 다른 스레드 블로킹!
val := guard.get_inner()
# 좋은 예: 최소 임계 영역
temp := 0
{
guard := mutex.lock()
temp = load_i64(guard.get_inner())
} # guard 소멸 → unlock
expensive_computation()
3. RwLock Writer Starvation
많은 reader가 계속 들어오면 writer가 영원히 대기할 수 있습니다. Writer 우선 정책을 고려하세요.
# Writer starvation 발생 가능
L 1 {
guard := rwlock.read() # Reader 계속 진입
# Writer는 영원히 대기
}
4. Condvar Spurious Wakeup
wait()는 신호 없이 깰 수 있습니다(Spurious Wakeup). 항상 루프로 조건을 재확인하세요.
# 나쁜 예
I queue.is_empty() {
condvar.wait(&mutex)
}
# 좋은 예: 루프로 재확인
L queue.is_empty() {
condvar.wait(&mutex)
}
5. Barrier 재사용
Barrier는 한 번만 사용 가능한 구현도 있습니다. 재사용 시 새로 생성하거나, 명시적 reset을 호출하세요.
barrier := Barrier::new(3)
# Round 1
barrier.wait()
# Round 2 - 새 Barrier 필요할 수 있음
barrier = Barrier::new(3)
barrier.wait()
6. Semaphore 카운팅
acquire()와 release() 호출 횟수가 일치해야 합니다. 누락 시 리소스 고갈 또는 과다 허가가 발생합니다.
# 나쁜 예: release 누락
semaphore.acquire()
I error_occurred {
R 1 # release 없이 리턴!
}
semaphore.release()
# 좋은 예: defer 사용
semaphore.acquire()
D semaphore.release()
I error_occurred { R 1 }
7. try_lock 패턴
try_lock()은 실패 시 None을 반환합니다. Polling loop에서 유용합니다.
L 1 {
guard := mutex.try_lock()
M guard {
Some(g) => {
# 락 획득 성공
process(g.get_inner())
B
},
None => {
# 다른 작업 수행
thread_yield()
}
}
}
8. 플랫폼 차이
- POSIX:
pthread_mutex_t,pthread_rwlock_t,pthread_cond_t - Windows:
CRITICAL_SECTION,SRWLOCK,CONDITION_VARIABLE
대부분의 API는 동일하지만, 성능 특성이 다를 수 있습니다(예: Windows SRW는 fair lock).
9. Poison 처리
Rust와 달리 Vais Mutex는 panic poison을 지원하지 않습니다. 스레드 패닉 시 락이 영구 잠길 수 있으므로, 에러 처리를 철저히 하세요.
10. Atomic vs Mutex
간단한 카운터는 Atomic 연산이 더 효율적입니다.
# Mutex: 무겁지만 범용적
counter := Mutex::new(0)
guard := counter.lock()
store_i64(guard.get_inner(), load_i64(guard.get_inner()) + 1)
# Atomic: 가볍지만 제한적 (향후 지원)
counter := AtomicI64::new(0)
counter.fetch_add(1)

실용 예제
예제 1: JSON 파싱 및 접근
U std/json
F main() -> i64 {
json_str := ~{
"user": {
"id": 123,
"name": "Bob",
"active": true
}
}
root := json_parse(json_str)
user := json_get_object(root, "user")
id := json_get_number(user, "id")
name := json_get_string(user, "name")
active := json_get_bool(user, "active")
print_i64(id) # 123
print_str(name) # "Bob"
print_i64(active) # 1
R 0
}
예제 2: JSON 배열 순회
U std/json
F main() -> i64 {
json_str := ~{"scores": [85, 92, 78, 90]}
root := json_parse(json_str)
scores := json_get_array(root, "scores")
len := json_array_len(scores)
i := 0
L i < len {
score := json_get_array_item(scores, i)
num := json_get_number(score)
print_i64(num)
i = i + 1
}
R 0
}
예제 3: 구조체 → JSON 직렬화
U std/json
S User {
id: i64,
name: i64,
age: i64
}
F user_to_json(user: User) -> i64 {
obj := json_new_object()
json_object_set(obj, "id", json_new_number(user.id))
json_object_set(obj, "name", json_new_string(user.name))
json_object_set(obj, "age", json_new_number(user.age))
R json_stringify(obj)
}
F main() -> i64 {
user := User { id: 456, name: "Charlie", age: 28 }
json_str := user_to_json(user)
print_str(json_str) # {"id":456,"name":"Charlie","age":28}
R 0
}
예제 4: JSON → 구조체 역직렬화
U std/json
S Config {
host: i64,
port: i64,
debug: i64
}
F parse_config(json_str: i64) -> Config {
obj := json_parse(json_str)
Config {
host: json_get_string(obj, "host"),
port: json_get_number(obj, "port"),
debug: json_get_bool(obj, "debug")
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
json_str := ~{"host": "127.0.0.1", "port": 8080, "debug": true}
config := parse_config(json_str)
print_str(config.host) # "127.0.0.1"
print_i64(config.port) # 8080
print_i64(config.debug) # 1
R 0
}
예제 5: 중첩 JSON 생성
U std/json
F main() -> i64 {
# {"users": [{"name": "Alice", "age": 30}, {"name": "Bob", "age": 25}]}
alice := json_new_object()
json_object_set(alice, "name", json_new_string("Alice"))
json_object_set(alice, "age", json_new_number(30))
bob := json_new_object()
json_object_set(bob, "name", json_new_string("Bob"))
json_object_set(bob, "age", json_new_number(25))
users := json_new_array()
json_array_push(users, alice)
json_array_push(users, bob)
root := json_new_object()
json_object_set(root, "users", users)
json_str := json_stringify(root)
print_str(json_str)
R 0
}
주의사항
1. 타입 안전
json_get_* 함수는 타입이 맞지 않으면 0 또는 null을 반환합니다. 사용 전 json_get_type()으로 확인하세요.
val := json_get_object(root, "key")
I json_get_type(val) == 6 { # 6 = object
# 안전하게 접근
nested := json_get_string(val, "field")
} E {
print_str("타입 불일치")
}
2. 메모리 관리
json_parse()는 동적 할당된 JsonValue를 반환합니다. 사용 후 json_free()를 호출하여 메모리를 해제하세요.
obj := json_parse(json_str)
D json_free(obj) # defer로 자동 정리
# obj 사용
3. 부동소수점 미지원
현재 구현은 정수(i64)만 지원합니다. 소수는 1,000,000을 곱한 스케일된 정수로 저장됩니다.
# 3.14 → 3140000 (3.14 * 1000000)
val := json_new_number_scaled(3140000)
json_str := json_stringify(val) # "3.14"
4. 대용량 JSON
재귀 파싱은 스택 오버플로 위험이 있습니다. 깊이 제한을 구현하거나, 이터레이티브 파서를 사용하세요.
# 최대 깊이 32
C MAX_JSON_DEPTH: i64 = 32
F safe_parse(json_str: i64, depth: i64) -> i64 {
I depth > MAX_JSON_DEPTH {
R 0 # 에러
}
# 파싱 로직...
}
5. 키 순서 미보장
JSON object는 해시맵 기반이므로, 키 순서가 보존되지 않습니다. 순서가 중요하면 array를 사용하세요.
# 키 순서 미보장
obj := json_parse(~{"a": 1, "b": 2, "c": 3})
# stringify 시 순서 변경 가능: {"c":3,"a":1,"b":2}
6. 이스케이프 문자
문자열 내 ", \, \n 등은 자동으로 이스케이프됩니다. 수동 이스케이프 불필요합니다.
str := ~{Hello\nWorld}
obj := json_new_string(str)
json_str := json_stringify(obj) # "Hello\\nWorld"
7. 에러 처리
json_parse()는 실패 시 null 또는 부분 파싱 결과를 반환합니다. 항상 json_get_type()으로 유효성을 확인하세요.
obj := json_parse(invalid_json)
I json_get_type(obj) == 0 { # 0 = null (파싱 실패)
print_str("JSON 파싱 에러")
R 1
}
8. UTF-8 지원
현재 구현은 ASCII만 완전 지원합니다. UTF-8 문자열은 바이트 단위로 처리되므로, 유니코드 이스케이프(\uXXXX)가 필요할 수 있습니다.
9. JSON Streaming
현재는 전체 문서를 메모리에 로드합니다. 대용량 스트림은 청크 단위 파싱을 구현하세요.
# 스트림 파싱 패턴
F parse_stream(file: File) -> Vec<i64> {
results := Vec::new()
L 1 {
chunk := file.read_str(1024)
I chunk == 0 { B }
obj := json_parse(chunk)
results.push(obj)
}
R results
}
10. 성능 최적화
- 반복 파싱 시
json_parse()결과를 캐싱하세요. - 대량 생성 시
json_stringify()를 한 번만 호출하세요. - 중첩 접근은 변수에 저장하여 반복 조회를 피하세요.
# 나쁜 예: 반복 조회
L i < 100 {
val := json_get_object(json_get_object(root, "data"), "field")
}
# 좋은 예: 한 번만 조회
data := json_get_object(root, "data")
L i < 100 {
val := json_get_object(data, "field")
}

}
F main() -> i64 {
text := "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
count := highlight_matches(text, "\\b[a-z]{4}\\b") # 4글자 단어
print_str("총 ~{count}개 매칭")
R 0
}
예제 3: 문자열 치환
U std/regex
F sanitize_input(input: i64) -> i64 {
# 숫자 아닌 문자 제거
pattern := regex_new("[^0-9]")
R regex_replace(pattern, input, "")
}

phone := "1-800-555-1234"
clean := sanitize_input(phone)
print_str(clean) # "18005551234"
R 0
}
예제 4: CSV 파싱 (Split)
U std/regex
F parse_csv_line(line: i64) -> Vec<i64> {
# 쉼표로 분할
pattern := regex_new(",")
fields := regex_split(pattern, line)
R fields
}
F main() -> i64 {
csv := "Alice,30,Engineer"
fields := parse_csv_line(csv)
i := 0
L i < fields.len() {
print_str(fields.get(i))
i = i + 1
}
R 0
}
예제 5: 캡처 그룹 추출
U std/regex
F extract_version(text: i64) -> i64 {
# 버전 번호 추출: v1.2.3
pattern := regex_new("v([0-9]+)\\.([0-9]+)\\.([0-9]+)")
captures := regex_capture(pattern, text)
I captures.len() >= 3 {
major := captures.get(0)
minor := captures.get(1)
patch := captures.get(2)
print_str("Major: ~{major}")
print_str("Minor: ~{minor}")
print_str("Patch: ~{patch}")
}
R 0
}
F main() -> i64 {
extract_version("Version v2.5.10 released")
R 0
}
주의사항
1. 탐욕적(Greedy) 매칭
*와 +는 기본적으로 탐욕적으로 매칭합니다. 최소 매칭이 필요하면 *?, +?를 사용하세요 (구현 시 지원 확인).
# 탐욕적: "a...z" 전체 매칭
pattern := regex_new("a.*z")
# "abc xyz" → "abc xyz" 전체 매칭
# 비탐욕적 (최소 매칭)
pattern := regex_new("a.*?z")
# "abc xyz" → "abc xz" 매칭
2. 이스케이프 문자
메타문자를 리터럴로 매칭하려면 \\로 이스케이프하세요.
# 점(.) 리터럴 매칭
pattern := regex_new("\\.") # "." 자체 매칭
# 이스케이프 없으면 임의 문자 매칭
# 괄호 리터럴
pattern := regex_new("\\(\\)") # "()" 매칭
3. 성능 고려
재귀 하강 파서는 백트래킹으로 인해 일부 패턴에서 지수 시간 복잡도를 가질 수 있습니다.
# 나쁜 패턴: (a+)+b는 백트래킹 폭발
pattern := regex_new("(a+)+b")
# "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" (b 없음) → 매우 느림
# 좋은 패턴: a+b
pattern := regex_new("a+b")
4. 개행 문자 매칭
.는 개행(\n)을 매칭하지 않습니다. 멀티라인 패턴은 명시적으로 처리하세요.
# 개행 포함 매칭
pattern := regex_new("[\\s\\S]*") # 모든 공백 + 비공백 (개행 포함)
5. 앵커 조합
^와 $를 함께 사용하면 전체 문자열 정확 매칭을 의미합니다.
# 부분 매칭
pattern := regex_new("hello")
# "hello world" → 매칭
# 전체 매칭
pattern := regex_new("^hello$")
# "hello world" → 실패
# "hello" → 성공
6. 문자 클래스 범위
[a-z]는 ASCII 순서를 사용합니다. 유니코드는 지원하지 않습니다.
# ASCII 범위
[a-z] # a ~ z
[A-Z] # A ~ Z
[0-9] # 0 ~ 9
# 조합
[a-zA-Z0-9_] # 영숫자 + 언더스코어
7. 캡처 그룹 인덱스
캡처 그룹은 0부터 시작합니다. 전체 매칭은 별도 반환되거나, 그룹 0으로 제공될 수 있습니다.
# 패턴: (\\d+)-(\\d+)-(\\d+)
# 입력: "2024-02-10"
captures := regex_capture(pattern, text)
# captures[0] = "2024"
# captures[1] = "02"
# captures[2] = "10"
8. 반복 패턴 컴파일
같은 패턴을 반복 사용하면 한 번만 컴파일하세요.
# 나쁜 예
L i < 1000 {
pattern := regex_new("[0-9]+")
regex_match(pattern, inputs.get(i))
}
# 좋은 예
pattern := regex_new("[0-9]+")
L i < 1000 {
regex_match(pattern, inputs.get(i))
}
9. 메모리 관리
컴파일된 Regex는 동적 할당된 패턴 트리입니다. 사용 후 regex_free()를 호출하세요.
pattern := regex_new("test")
D regex_free(pattern)
# 패턴 사용
10. 한계 인식
현재 구현은 기본 기능만 지원합니다. 고급 기능은 PCRE/Rust regex 라이브러리 바인딩을 고려하세요.
미지원:
- Lookahead/Lookbehind (
(?=...),(?!...)) - 명명된 캡처 그룹 (
(?P<name>...)) - 유니코드 클래스 (
\p{L}) - 재귀 패턴

I !f.is_valid() { R 0 }
hasher := Sha256::new()
buffer := malloc(4096)
L 1 {
bytes := f.read_bytes(buffer, 4096)
I bytes <= 0 { B }

print_str("비밀번호 불일치")
}
R 0
}
예제 3: AES-256 암호화/복호화
U std/crypto
F main() -> i64 {
# 32바이트 키 (256비트)
key := "01234567890123456789012345678901"
# AES 컨텍스트 생성
aes := Aes256::new(key)
# 16바이트 평문
plaintext := "Hello, World!!!!"
ciphertext := aes.encrypt_block(plaintext)
print_str("암호문: ~{hex_encode(ciphertext, 16)}")
# 복호화
decrypted := aes.decrypt_block(ciphertext)
print_str("복호문: ~{decrypted}") # "Hello, World!!!!"
R 0
}
예제 4: CBC 모드 암호화 (긴 메시지)
U std/crypto
F encrypt_message(message: i64, key: i64) -> i64 {
aes := Aes256::new(key)
# 16바이트 IV (랜덤)
iv := random_bytes(16)
# PKCS7 패딩 추가
padded := pkcs7_pad(message, 16)
# CBC 암호화
ciphertext := aes.encrypt_cbc(padded, iv)
# IV + 암호문 결합
result := malloc(16 + strlen(ciphertext))
memcpy(result, iv, 16)
memcpy(result + 16, ciphertext, strlen(ciphertext))
R result
}
F decrypt_message(encrypted: i64, key: i64) -> i64 {
aes := Aes256::new(key)
# IV 추출
iv := encrypted
ciphertext := encrypted + 16
# CBC 복호화
padded := aes.decrypt_cbc(ciphertext, iv)
# PKCS7 패딩 제거
R pkcs7_unpad(padded)
}
F main() -> i64 {
key := "01234567890123456789012345678901"

# 메시지 + HMAC 전송
socket.send(message, strlen(message))
socket.send(mac, 32)
R 0
}
F recv_authenticated_message(socket: TcpStream, secret: i64) -> i64 {
# 메시지 수신
message := malloc(1024)
msg_len := socket.recv(message, 1024)
# HMAC 수신
received_mac := malloc(32)
socket.recv(received_mac, 32)
# HMAC 검증

I memcmp(received_mac, computed_mac, 32) != 0 {
print_str("메시지 위조 감지!")
R 0
}
print_str("메시지 검증 성공: ~{message}")
R 1
}
주의사항
1. 교육 목적 구현
이 모듈은 학습용입니다. 프로덕션 환경에서는 검증된 라이브러리를 사용하세요:
- OpenSSL (C/C++)
- libsodium (단순화된 암호화)
- RustCrypto (Rust)
2. 키 관리
암호화 키를 하드코딩하지 마세요. 환경 변수, 키 관리 시스템(KMS), 하드웨어 보안 모듈(HSM)을 사용하세요.
# 나쁜 예: 하드코딩
key := "my_secret_key_12345"
# 좋은 예: 환경 변수
key := getenv("ENCRYPTION_KEY")
I key == 0 {
print_str("키가 설정되지 않음")
exit(1)
}
3. IV (Initialization Vector) 재사용 금지
CBC/CTR 모드에서 같은 키와 IV를 재사용하면 패턴이 노출됩니다. 항상 랜덤 IV를 생성하세요.
# 나쁜 예: 고정 IV
iv := "0000000000000000"
# 좋은 예: 랜덤 IV
iv := random_bytes(16)
4. Salt 사용 (비밀번호 해싱)
비밀번호를 해싱할 때는 반드시 Salt를 추가하세요. Rainbow table 공격을 방지합니다.
# 나쁜 예: Salt 없음
hash := sha256(password)
# 좋은 예: Salt 추가
salt := random_bytes(16)
hash := sha256(salt + password)
5. 타이밍 공격 방지
HMAC 검증 시 상수 시간 비교를 사용하세요.
# 나쁜 예: 타이밍 공격 가능
I memcmp(mac1, mac2, 32) == 0 { ... }
# 좋은 예: 상수 시간 비교
F secure_compare(a: i64, b: i64, len: i64) -> i64 {
result := 0
i := 0
L i < len {
result = result | (load_byte(a + i) ^ load_byte(b + i))
i = i + 1
}
R result == 0
}
6. 패딩 오라클 공격
CBC 모드에서 패딩 에러를 노출하지 마세요. 모든 에러를 동일하게 처리하세요.
# 나쁜 예
decrypted := aes.decrypt_cbc(ciphertext, iv)
I !is_valid_padding(decrypted) {
print_str("패딩 에러") # 공격자에게 정보 제공!
R 0
}
# 좋은 예
decrypted := aes.decrypt_cbc(ciphertext, iv)
I !is_valid_padding(decrypted) {
print_str("복호화 실패") # 일반적인 에러 메시지
R 0
}
7. 해시 충돌
SHA-256은 충돌 저항성이 강하지만, MD5/SHA-1은 사용하지 마세요.
# 안전한 해시 알고리즘
- SHA-256
- SHA-3
- BLAKE2
# 사용 금지 (충돌 취약)
- MD5
- SHA-1
8. AES 블록 크기
AES는 16바이트 블록 단위로 동작합니다. 입력 길이가 16의 배수가 아니면 패딩이 필요합니다.
# PKCS7 패딩
F pkcs7_pad(data: i64, block_size: i64) -> i64 {
len := strlen(data)
pad_len := block_size - (len % block_size)
padded := malloc(len + pad_len)
memcpy(padded, data, len)
# 패딩 바이트 (값 = 패딩 길이)
i := 0
L i < pad_len {
store_byte(padded + len + i, pad_len)
i = i + 1
}
R padded
}
9. HMAC 키 길이
HMAC 키는 해시 출력 크기(SHA-256의 경우 32바이트) 이상이어야 합니다.
# 나쁜 예: 짧은 키
key := "secret" # 6바이트
# 좋은 예: 충분한 키 길이
key := random_bytes(32) # 256비트
10. 난수 생성
암호화 키/IV/Salt는 암호학적으로 안전한 난수 생성기(CSPRNG)를 사용하세요.
# 나쁜 예: 예측 가능
key := pseudo_random(seed)
# 좋은 예: CSPRNG
key := crypto_random_bytes(32) # /dev/urandom 또는 CryptGenRandom

Pipeline Characteristics
- Single-pass type checking: No need for multiple passes due to forward declarations
- Lazy monomorphization: Only instantiate generic functions that are actually called
- Incremental error reporting: Each phase reports errors with source locations
- Memory efficiency: Streaming token processing, no backtracking

Crate Descriptions
1. vais-ast (Core Data Structures)
Lines of Code: ~800 Dependencies: None (foundational crate)
Defines all AST node types and structures:
pub struct Module { pub items: Vec<Spanned<Item>> }
pub enum Item { Function(Function), Struct(Struct), Enum(Enum), ... }
pub struct Function { pub name: String, pub params: Vec<Param>, ... }
pub struct Span { pub start: usize, pub end: usize }
Key types:
Module,Item,Function,Struct,Enum,Trait,ImplExpr,Stmt,Pattern,TypeSpan,Spanned<T>for source location trackingAttributefor metadata annotations
Design rationale:
- Zero dependencies for fast compilation
- Rich span information for error reporting
- Expression-oriented: statements are expressions
2. vais-lexer (Tokenization)
Lines of Code: ~600 Dependencies: logos (v0.14)
Tokenizes source code into a stream of classified tokens:
#[derive(Logos, Debug, Clone, PartialEq)]
pub enum Token {
#[token("F", priority = 3)] Function,
#[token("S", priority = 3)] Struct,
#[regex(r"[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*")] Ident(String),
#[regex(r"\d+")] IntLit(i64),
// ... 60+ token types
}
pub struct SpannedToken {
pub token: Token,
pub span: Span,
}
Features:
- Single-letter keyword tokenization (F=function, S=struct, etc.)
- Regex-based patterns for identifiers, literals, operators
- Priority-based disambiguation (keywords > identifiers)
- Zero-copy string slicing via spans
- Comment and whitespace skipping
Performance: ~5µs per 100 tokens (logos state machine)
3. vais-parser (Syntax Analysis)
Lines of Code: ~2,700 Dependencies: vais-ast, vais-lexer, vais-i18n
Recursive descent parser with single-token lookahead:
pub struct Parser {
tokens: Vec<SpannedToken>,
pos: usize,
}
impl Parser {
pub fn parse(&mut self) -> ParseResult<Module> { ... }
fn parse_function(&mut self) -> ParseResult<Function> { ... }
fn parse_expr(&mut self) -> ParseResult<Expr> { ... }
fn parse_expr_with_precedence(&mut self, min_prec: u8) -> ParseResult<Expr> { ... }
}
Key algorithms:
- Pratt parsing for expressions (operator precedence climbing)
- Predictive parsing for statements and declarations
- Error recovery with synchronization tokens (
;,},EOF)
Grammar characteristics:
- LL(1) with local LL(2) for disambiguation
- Expression-first:
F add(a,b)=a+b(expression form) - Block-optional:
F add(a,b){R a+b}(block form)
4. vais-types (Type System)
Lines of Code: ~3,400 Dependencies: vais-ast, vais-i18n
Implements Hindley-Milner type inference with extensions:
pub struct TypeChecker {
structs: HashMap<String, StructDef>,
enums: HashMap<String, EnumDef>,
functions: HashMap<String, FunctionSig>,
traits: HashMap<String, TraitDef>,
trait_impls: Vec<TraitImpl>,
scopes: Vec<HashMap<String, VarInfo>>,
current_generics: Vec<String>,
substitutions: HashMap<usize, ResolvedType>,
// Monomorphization tracking
generic_instantiations: Vec<GenericInstantiation>,
}
Type inference algorithm:
- Constraint generation: Walk AST, generate type equations
- Unification: Solve equations using Robinson's algorithm
- Substitution: Apply solved types back to AST
- Generalization: Convert inferred types to generic schemes
Extensions beyond H-M:
- Trait constraints:
F sort<T:Ord>(xs:Vec<T>) - Associated types:
W Iterator{T Item; F next()->Option<Item>} - Generic bounds: Multi-trait bounds, lifetime elision
- Pattern exhaustiveness: Ensures match arms cover all cases
Monomorphization:
- Tracks generic instantiations during type checking
- Records
GenericInstantiation { base_name, type_args, mangled_name } - Defers code generation until all type parameters are known
5. vais-codegen (Code Generation)
Lines of Code: ~4,800 Dependencies: vais-ast, vais-types
Generates LLVM IR text from typed AST:
pub struct CodeGenerator {
module_name: String,
functions: HashMap<String, FunctionInfo>,
structs: HashMap<String, StructInfo>,
enums: HashMap<String, EnumInfo>,
locals: HashMap<String, LocalVar>,
label_counter: usize,
loop_stack: Vec<LoopLabels>,
string_constants: Vec<(String, String)>,
// Generic support
generic_instantiations: Vec<GenericInstantiation>,
specialized_functions: HashSet<String>,
// Debug info
debug_builder: Option<DebugInfoBuilder>,
}
Code generation strategy:

Core Design Decisions
1. LLVM IR as Backend
Decision: Generate LLVM IR text and compile via clang, rather than using inkwell (LLVM Rust bindings).
Rationale:
- Simplicity: Text generation is easier to debug and inspect
- Portability: No LLVM library version dependencies
- Toolchain integration: Leverage existing clang optimizations
- Flexibility: Easy to emit custom IR patterns
Trade-offs:
- Slower compilation (text parsing overhead)
- No compile-time IR validation
- Limited access to LLVM APIs
Mitigation:
- Optimization passes are fast enough for target programs
- IR validation via clang error messages
- Future: Option to use inkwell for production builds
2. Monomorphization over Type Erasure
Decision: Use monomorphization (specialization) for generics, not type erasure or boxing.
Rationale:
- Zero-cost abstraction: No runtime overhead for generics
- Type safety: Compile-time type checking, no casting
- Performance: Specialized code can be optimized per type
- Predictability: No hidden allocations or indirection
Implementation:
- Type checker tracks
GenericInstantiationduring inference - Code generator creates specialized functions:
identity$i64,identity$f64 - Call sites use mangled names:
call @identity$i64
Trade-offs:
- Code bloat: Each instantiation generates new code
- Compile time: More functions to generate and optimize
Mitigation:
- Lazy instantiation: Only generate called instances
- LLVM linkage optimization: Inline identical functions
Example:
F identity<T>(x:T)->T=x
identity(42) # generates: define i64 @identity$i64(i64 %x)
identity(3.14) # generates: define double @identity$f64(double %x)
3. Expression-Oriented Language
Decision: Everything is an expression (if, loop, match, blocks all return values).
Rationale:
- Conciseness: Reduce boilerplate (no return statements needed)
- Composability: Expressions can nest naturally
- Functional style: Easier to write pure functions
- AI-friendly: Fewer tokens, simpler patterns
Implementation:
- Blocks evaluate to their last expression
I(if-else) returns a value:x=I cond{a}E{b}L(loop) withB(break) returns a value:L{I x>10{B x}; x=x+1}M(match) arms must return compatible types
Example:
F abs(x:i64)->i64 = I x<0 {-x} E {x}
F collatz(n:i64)->i64 = L {
I n==1 { B n }
E { n = I n%2==0 {n/2} E {3*n+1} }
}
4. Single-Letter Keywords for Token Efficiency
Decision: Use single-letter keywords (F, S, E, I, L, M) for core constructs.
Rationale:
- AI optimization: Reduces token count in LLM contexts (40-60% savings)
- Typing efficiency: Less typing for developers
- Predictable: Limited keyword set, easy to learn
Mapping:
| Keyword | Meaning | Traditional |
|---|---|---|
| F | Function | fn/def/function |
| S | Struct | struct/record |
| E | Enum / Else | enum / else |
| I | If | if |
| L | Loop | loop/while |
| M | Match | match/switch |
| R | Return | return |
| B | Break | break |
| C | Continue | continue |
| T | Type alias | type |
| U | Use/import | use/import |
| P | Public | pub/public |
| W | Trait (What) | trait/interface |
| X | Impl (eXtend) | impl |
| A | Async | async |
Trade-offs:
- Readability: May be harder for beginners (mitigated by LSP hover)
- Ambiguity:
Eused for both Enum and Else (context-disambiguated)
5. Hindley-Milner Type Inference
Decision: Use H-M inference for type deduction, minimizing annotations.
Rationale:
- Ergonomics: Reduce type annotations (less boilerplate)
- Safety: Still fully statically typed (no
anyordynamic) - Predictability: Local inference, no action-at-a-distance
Extensions beyond standard H-M:
- Trait constraints:
F sort<T:Ord>(xs:Vec<T>) - Multi-parameter type classes: Trait with associated types
- Pattern exhaustiveness: Ensures match covers all cases
Limitations:
- No higher-kinded types (no
Monad<M<_>>) - No row polymorphism (no extensible records)
- Recursion requires annotations (future: bidirectional checking)
Example:
# Type annotations inferred:
F map(f,xs) = xs.iter().map(f).collect()
# Inferred: <A,B>(F(A)->B, Vec<A>) -> Vec<B>
# Explicit annotations for clarity:
F map<A,B>(f:F(A)->B, xs:Vec<A>) -> Vec<B> =
xs.iter().map(f).collect()
6. Stack Allocation by Default, Explicit Heap
Decision: Variables are stack-allocated by default; heap requires explicit Box<T>.
Rationale:
- Performance: Stack allocation is fast (no malloc/free)
- Predictability: Memory location is explicit in types
- Safety: Ownership rules prevent use-after-free
Memory model:
- Primitives: Always copied (i64, f64, bool, etc.)
- Structs: Stack by default, move semantics
- Heap: Explicit via
Box<T>,Rc<T>, or raw pointers - Arrays: Fixed-size on stack,
Vec<T>on heap
Example:
F example() {
x:i64 = 42 # Stack: 8 bytes
p:Point = Point{x:1,y:2} # Stack: 16 bytes (move semantics)
b:Box<Point> = Box.new(p) # Heap: malloc(16)
}
Type System and Inference
Type Representations
Internal Type Representation (vais-types)
#[derive(Debug, Clone, PartialEq)]
pub enum ResolvedType {
// Primitives
I8, I16, I32, I64, I128,
U8, U16, U32, U64, U128,
F32, F64,
Bool, Char, String,
Unit, // void/()
// Compound types
Tuple(Vec<ResolvedType>),
Array(Box<ResolvedType>, usize),

// Functions

params: Vec<ResolvedType>,
ret: Box<ResolvedType>,
is_async: bool,
},
// Generic/inference

}
Type Inference Algorithm
Algorithm: Hindley-Milner with constraint-based inference
Steps:
-
Constraint Generation:
- Walk AST, assign type variables to unknowns
- Generate constraints:
?T0 = i64,?T1 = ?T2 -> i64
-
Unification (Robinson's algorithm):
- Solve constraints:
unify(t1, t2) - Occurs check: Prevent infinite types (
?T0 = Vec<?T0>) - Substitution: Replace type vars with concrete types
- Solve constraints:
-
Generalization:
- Convert monomorphic types to polytypes
- Example:
?T0 -> ?T0becomes∀T. T -> T
-
Instantiation:
- When calling generic function, create fresh type vars
- Example:
identity<T>(x:T)called with42→ instantiateT = i64
Code snippet:
fn check_expr(&mut self, expr: &Expr) -> TypeResult<ResolvedType> {
match expr {
Expr::IntLit(_) => Ok(ResolvedType::I64),
Expr::Variable(name) => self.lookup_var(name),
Expr::BinaryOp { op, left, right } => {
let lt = self.check_expr(left)?;
let rt = self.check_expr(right)?;
self.unify(<, &rt)?; // Operands must match
match op {
BinOp::Add | BinOp::Sub | BinOp::Mul | BinOp::Div => Ok(lt),
BinOp::Eq | BinOp::Lt | BinOp::Gt => Ok(ResolvedType::Bool),
// ...
}
}
// ... other cases
}
}
fn unify(&mut self, t1: &ResolvedType, t2: &ResolvedType) -> TypeResult<()> {
match (t1, t2) {
(ResolvedType::TypeVar(id1), ResolvedType::TypeVar(id2)) if id1 == id2 => Ok(()),
(ResolvedType::TypeVar(id), ty) | (ty, ResolvedType::TypeVar(id)) => {
if self.occurs_check(*id, ty) {
return Err(TypeError::InfiniteType);
}
self.substitutions.insert(*id, ty.clone());
Ok(())
}
(ResolvedType::I64, ResolvedType::I64) => Ok(()),
(ResolvedType::Struct(n1, args1), ResolvedType::Struct(n2, args2)) if n1 == n2 => {
for (a1, a2) in args1.iter().zip(args2) {
self.unify(a1, a2)?;
}
Ok(())
}
_ => Err(TypeError::Mismatch { expected: t1.clone(), found: t2.clone() })
}
}
Generic Type Inference
Example: Inferring Vec.push(v, item)
S Vec<T> { data:Ptr<T>, len:i64, cap:i64 }
F Vec.push<T>(self:Ptr<Vec<T>>, item:T) {
# ... implementation
}
# Usage:
v:Vec<i64> = Vec.new()
Vec.push(v, 42) # Infer: T = i64 from v's type
Inference process:
vhas typeVec<i64>(annotated)Vec.pushcall: Instantiate<T>with fresh var?T0- First parameter:
Ptr<Vec<?T0>> - Unify with
v's type:Ptr<Vec<?T0>> ~ Ptr<Vec<i64>> - Solve:
?T0 = i64 - Second parameter:
item:?T0→item:i64 - Validate:
42has typei64✓
Implementation:
fn check_generic_function_call(
&mut self,
func_name: &str,
type_args: &[ResolvedType],
args: &[Expr],
) -> TypeResult<ResolvedType> {
let func_sig = self.functions.get(func_name)?;
// Infer type arguments from call site
let mut type_map = HashMap::new();
for (i, param_ty) in func_sig.params.iter().enumerate() {
let arg_ty = self.check_expr(&args[i])?;
self.infer_type_args(param_ty, &arg_ty, &mut type_map)?;
}
// Apply substitutions
let specialized_ret = self.substitute_generics(&func_sig.ret, &type_map);
// Record instantiation for monomorphization
let type_arg_list: Vec<_> = func_sig.generics.iter()
.map(|g| type_map.get(g).cloned().unwrap_or(ResolvedType::I64))
.collect();
self.generic_instantiations.push(GenericInstantiation {
base_name: func_name.to_string(),
type_args: type_arg_list,
mangled_name: mangle_name(func_name, &type_arg_list),
kind: InstantiationKind::Function,
});
Ok(specialized_ret)
}
Pattern Exhaustiveness Checking
Ensures match expressions cover all possible cases.
Algorithm:
- Enumerate all constructors for matched type
- Check each arm's pattern against constructors
- Compute "useful" patterns (not subsumed by previous arms)
- If any constructor uncovered, report error
Example:
E Option<T> { Some(T), None }
F unwrap_or<T>(opt:Option<T>, default:T)->T = M opt {
Some(x) -> x,
None -> default
} # ✓ Exhaustive
F bad<T>(opt:Option<T>)->T = M opt {
Some(x) -> x
} # ✗ Error: Missing pattern: None
Implementation (vais-types/exhaustiveness.rs):
pub struct ExhaustivenessChecker;
impl ExhaustivenessChecker {
pub fn check_match(
&self,
matched_type: &ResolvedType,
arms: &[MatchArm],
enums: &HashMap<String, EnumDef>,
) -> ExhaustivenessResult {
let constructors = self.get_constructors(matched_type, enums)?;
let mut uncovered = constructors.clone();
for arm in arms {
let pattern_constructors = self.pattern_constructors(&arm.pattern);
uncovered.retain(|c| !pattern_constructors.contains(c));
}
if uncovered.is_empty() {
Ok(())
} else {
Err(ExhaustivenessError::MissingPatterns(uncovered))
}
}
}
Generic Monomorphization
Monomorphization is the process of generating specialized code for each unique instantiation of a generic function or type.

Name Mangling Scheme
To avoid name collisions, specialized functions use mangled names:
Pattern: {base_name}${type1}${type2}...
Examples:
| Generic Call | Mangled Name |
|---|---|
identity<i64>(x) | identity$i64 |
identity<f64>(x) | identity$f64 |
Vec<String>.push(...) | Vec$String.push |
HashMap<i64,String>.insert(...) | HashMap$i64$String.insert |
Option<Vec<i64>>.unwrap() | Option$Vec$i64.unwrap |
Implementation:
pub fn mangle_name(base_name: &str, type_args: &[ResolvedType]) -> String {
if type_args.is_empty() {
return base_name.to_string();
}
let mut result = base_name.to_string();
for ty in type_args {
result.push('$');
result.push_str(&mangle_type(ty));
}
result
}
pub fn mangle_type(ty: &ResolvedType) -> String {
match ty {
ResolvedType::I64 => "i64".to_string(),
ResolvedType::String => "String".to_string(),
ResolvedType::Struct(name, args) => {
let mut s = name.clone();
for arg in args {
s.push('$');
s.push_str(&mangle_type(arg));
}
s
}
// ... other cases
}
}
Lazy Instantiation
Vais uses lazy monomorphization: only instantiate generic functions that are actually called.
Algorithm:
- Type checker records all instantiations in
generic_instantiations - Code generator processes only recorded instantiations
- Unreferenced generic functions are never generated
Example:
F identity<T>(x:T)->T = x
F main()->i64 {
x = identity(42) # Only identity<i64> is instantiated

# identity<f64> is never generated, even though it's valid
Struct Monomorphization
Generic structs are also specialized:
Example:
S Vec<T> { data:Ptr<T>, len:i64, cap:i64 }
# Usage:
v1:Vec<i64> = Vec.new() # Instantiate Vec<i64>
v2:Vec<String> = Vec.new() # Instantiate Vec<String>
Generated LLVM IR:
; Vec<i64>
%Vec$i64 = type { i64*, i64, i64 }
; Vec<String>
%Vec$String = type { %String*, i64, i64 }
define %Vec$i64* @Vec$i64.new() { ... }
define %Vec$String* @Vec$String.new() { ... }
Implementation:
fn generate_specialized_struct_type(
&mut self,
instantiation: &GenericInstantiation,
) -> CodegenResult<()> {
let struct_def = self.structs.get(&instantiation.base_name)?;
let mangled = &instantiation.mangled_name;
// Substitute type parameters in field types
let mut fields = Vec::new();
for field in &struct_def.fields {
let specialized_ty = substitute_type(
&field.ty,
&struct_def.generics,
&instantiation.type_args,
);
fields.push(type_to_llvm(&specialized_ty));
}
// Emit struct type definition
self.emit(&format!("%{} = type {{ {} }}",
mangled,
fields.join(", ")
));
Ok(())
}
Code Generation Strategy
SSA Form and Basic Blocks
LLVM requires code in Static Single Assignment (SSA) form:
- Each variable is assigned exactly once
- Variables are immutable after assignment
- Control flow uses phi nodes for merging values
Example transformation:
# Vais code:
F fib(n:i64)->i64 {
a = 0
b = 1
L {
I n == 0 { B a }
temp = a + b
a = b
b = temp
n = n - 1
}
}
Generated SSA form:
define i64 @fib(i64 %n) {
entry:
br label %loop
loop:
%a = phi i64 [ 0, %entry ], [ %b, %loop ]
%b = phi i64 [ 1, %entry ], [ %temp, %loop ]
%n_phi = phi i64 [ %n, %entry ], [ %n_next, %loop ]
%cond = icmp eq i64 %n_phi, 0
br i1 %cond, label %exit, label %continue
continue:
%temp = add i64 %a, %b
%n_next = sub i64 %n_phi, 1
br label %loop
exit:
ret i64 %a
}
Expression Code Generation
Strategy: Generate temporary variables for each subexpression.
Example:
x = (a + b) * (c - d)
Generated IR:
%0 = add i64 %a, %b ; a + b
%1 = sub i64 %c, %d ; c - d
%x = mul i64 %0, %1 ; (%0) * (%1)
Implementation (vais-codegen/expr.rs):
fn generate_expr(&mut self, expr: &Expr) -> CodegenResult<(String, String)> {
match expr {
Expr::IntLit(n) => Ok((format!("{}", n), String::new())),
Expr::Variable(name) => {
let var = self.locals.get(name)?;
let tmp = self.fresh_temp();
let load = format!("{} = load {}, {}* {}",
tmp, var.llvm_ty, var.llvm_ty, var.llvm_name);
Ok((tmp, load))
}
Expr::BinaryOp { op, left, right } => {
let (l_val, l_ir) = self.generate_expr(left)?;
let (r_val, r_ir) = self.generate_expr(right)?;
let tmp = self.fresh_temp();
let op_str = match op {
BinOp::Add => "add",
BinOp::Sub => "sub",
BinOp::Mul => "mul",
BinOp::Div => "sdiv",
// ...
};
let ir = format!("{}{}{} = {} i64 {}, {}",
l_ir, r_ir, tmp, op_str, l_val, r_val);
Ok((tmp, ir))
}
// ... other cases
}
}
Control Flow: If-Else
Vais code:
result = I x > 0 { 1 } E { -1 }
Generated IR:
%cond = icmp sgt i64 %x, 0
br i1 %cond, label %then, label %else
then:
br label %merge
else:
br label %merge
merge:
%result = phi i64 [ 1, %then ], [ -1, %else ]
Key pattern: Use phi nodes to merge values from different branches.
Control Flow: Loops
Vais code:
sum = L {
I i >= n { B sum }
sum = sum + i
i = i + 1
}
Generated IR:
br label %loop
loop:
%sum = phi i64 [ 0, %entry ], [ %sum_next, %loop ]
%i = phi i64 [ 0, %entry ], [ %i_next, %loop ]
%cond = icmp sge i64 %i, %n
br i1 %cond, label %exit, label %continue
continue:
%sum_next = add i64 %sum, %i
%i_next = add i64 %i, 1
br label %loop
exit:
ret i64 %sum
Memory Management
Vais uses explicit memory management with no garbage collection.
Stack allocation (local variables):
define void @example() {
entry:
%x = alloca i64 ; allocate 8 bytes on stack
store i64 42, i64* %x
; ...
} ; %x automatically freed when function returns
Heap allocation (Box<T>):
b:Box<Point> = Box.new(Point{x:1,y:2})
%size = ... ; sizeof(Point)
%raw_ptr = call i8* @malloc(i64 %size)
%typed_ptr = bitcast i8* %raw_ptr to %Point*
; ... initialize fields
Deallocation:
Box.free(b)
%raw_ptr = bitcast %Point* %b to i8*
call void @free(i8* %raw_ptr)
FFI declarations:
declare i8* @malloc(i64)
declare void @free(i8*)
declare void @llvm.memcpy.p0i8.p0i8.i64(i8*, i8*, i64, i1)
Optimization Pipeline
Vais includes custom LLVM IR optimization passes before handing off to clang.
Optimization Levels
| Level | Passes Enabled | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| O0 | None | Fast compilation, debugging |
| O1 | Basic (constant folding, DSE, branch) | Development builds |
| O2 | O1 + CSE + strength reduction + DCE | Production builds |
| O3 | O2 + inlining + loop opts | Maximum performance |
Pass Descriptions
1. Constant Folding
What: Evaluate constant expressions at compile time.
Example:
; Before:
%0 = add i64 2, 3
%1 = mul i64 %0, 4
; After:
%0 = 5 ; (folded)
%1 = 20 ; (folded)
Implementation:
fn constant_folding(ir: &str) -> String {
for line in ir.lines() {
if let Some((var, op, a, b)) = parse_binop(line) {
if let (Ok(a_val), Ok(b_val)) = (parse_const(a), parse_const(b)) {
let result = match op {
"add" => a_val + b_val,
"sub" => a_val - b_val,
"mul" => a_val * b_val,
"sdiv" => if b_val != 0 { a_val / b_val } else { continue },
_ => continue,
};
output.push_str(&format!("{} = {}", var, result));
continue;
}
}
output.push_str(line);
}
output
}
2. Dead Store Elimination (DSE)
What: Remove stores to variables that are never read.
Example:
; Before:
%x = alloca i64
store i64 1, i64* %x ; Dead (overwritten)
store i64 2, i64* %x
%val = load i64, i64* %x
; After:
%x = alloca i64
store i64 2, i64* %x ; Only store kept
%val = load i64, i64* %x
3. Common Subexpression Elimination (CSE)
What: Reuse results of identical computations.
Example:
; Before:
%0 = add i64 %a, %b
%1 = mul i64 %0, 2
%2 = add i64 %a, %b ; Duplicate!
%3 = mul i64 %2, 3
; After:
%0 = add i64 %a, %b
%1 = mul i64 %0, 2
%3 = mul i64 %0, 3 ; Reuse %0
4. Strength Reduction
What: Replace expensive operations with cheaper equivalents.
Example:
; Before:
%0 = mul i64 %x, 2 ; Multiplication
%1 = mul i64 %x, 8
%2 = sdiv i64 %x, 4 ; Division
; After:
%0 = shl i64 %x, 1 ; Left shift (faster)
%1 = shl i64 %x, 3
%2 = ashr i64 %x, 2 ; Arithmetic right shift
Patterns:
x * 2^n→x << nx / 2^n→x >> nx * 0→0x * 1→x
5. Dead Code Elimination (DCE)
What: Remove unreachable basic blocks and unused instructions.
Example:
; Before:
define i64 @example() {
entry:
ret i64 42
unreachable_block: ; Dead!
%x = add i64 1, 2
ret i64 %x
}
; After:
define i64 @example() {
entry:
ret i64 42
}
6. Loop Invariant Code Motion (LICM)
What: Move loop-invariant computations outside the loop.
Example:
# Before:
L {
y = x * 2 # x doesn't change in loop
sum = sum + y
i = i + 1
I i >= n { B sum }
}
# After optimization:
y = x * 2 # Hoisted!
L {
sum = sum + y
i = i + 1
I i >= n { B sum }
}
Generated IR:
; Before:
loop:
%y = mul i64 %x, 2 ; Invariant!
%sum_next = add i64 %sum, %y
; ...
; After:
preheader:
%y = mul i64 %x, 2 ; Hoisted to preheader
br label %loop
loop:
%sum_next = add i64 %sum, %y
; ...
7. Function Inlining (O3)
What: Replace function calls with the function body (aggressive at O3).
Heuristic: Inline if function body < 20 instructions.
Example:
F add(a,b) = a + b
F main() = add(1, 2)
Before inlining:
define i64 @add(i64 %a, i64 %b) {
%result = add i64 %a, %b
ret i64 %result
}
define i64 @main() {
%call = call i64 @add(i64 1, i64 2)
ret i64 %call
}
After inlining:
define i64 @main() {
%result = add i64 1, 2 ; Inlined
ret i64 %result ; (constant folding can further optimize to "ret i64 3")
}
Implementation:
fn aggressive_inline(ir: &str) -> String {
let functions = parse_functions(ir);
for func in &functions {
if should_inline(func) { // Check size < 20 instructions
ir = inline_function(ir, func);
}
}
ir
}

pub fn run_repl() {
let mut rl = Editor::<()>::new();
let _ = rl.load_history(".vais_history");
let mut checker = TypeChecker::new();
let mut codegen = CodeGenerator::new("repl");
loop {
let readline = rl.readline("vais> ");
match readline {
Ok(line) => {

Formatter (vaisc fmt)
AST-based code formatter ensures consistent style.
Options:
--check: Exit with code 1 if formatting needed (CI use)--indent N: Set indentation size (default: 4)
Example:
# Format file in-place:
vaisc fmt src/main.vais
# Check formatting (CI):
vaisc fmt --check src/
# Custom indentation:
vaisc fmt --indent 2 src/
Formatting rules:
- Indent: 4 spaces (configurable)
- Braces: Same line for functions/structs, new line for blocks
- Trailing commas: Always for multi-line lists
- Blank lines: One between top-level items
Implementation (vais-codegen/formatter.rs):
pub struct Formatter {
indent_size: usize,
current_indent: usize,
}
impl Formatter {
pub fn format_module(&mut self, module: &Module) -> String {
let mut output = String::new();
for item in &module.items {
output.push_str(&self.format_item(&item.node));
output.push_str("\n\n");
}
output
}
fn format_function(&mut self, func: &Function) -> String {
let mut s = format!("F {}", func.name);
// Generics
if !func.generics.is_empty() {
s.push('<');
s.push_str(&func.generics.join(", "));
s.push('>');
}
// Parameters
s.push('(');
let params: Vec<_> = func.params.iter()
.map(|p| format!("{}:{}", p.name, self.format_type(&p.ty)))
.collect();
s.push_str(¶ms.join(", "));
s.push(')');
// Return type
if func.ret_type != Type::Infer {
s.push_str(" -> ");
s.push_str(&self.format_type(&func.ret_type));
}
// Body
s.push_str(" = ");
s.push_str(&self.format_expr(&func.body));
s
}
}
Debugger Support
Vais generates DWARF debug information for source-level debugging with lldb/gdb.
CLI option:
vaisc build file.vais -g # Enable debug info
vaisc build file.vais -g -O0 # Debug build (no optimization)
Generated metadata:
; Debug info metadata
!0 = !DIFile(filename: "file.vais", directory: "/path/to/project")
!1 = !DICompileUnit(language: DW_LANG_C99, file: !0, producer: "vaisc 0.1.0")
; Function debug info
define i64 @add(i64 %a, i64 %b) !dbg !3 {
entry:
; Source location for each instruction
%0 = add i64 %a, %b, !dbg !4
ret i64 %0, !dbg !5
}
!3 = !DISubprogram(name: "add", file: !0, line: 1, ...)
!4 = !DILocation(line: 1, column: 15, scope: !3)
!5 = !DILocation(line: 1, column: 10, scope: !3)
Debugging session:
$ vaisc build file.vais -g -o program

Plugin System
Vais supports four types of plugins for extending the compiler.
Plugin Types
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Plugin Type │ Execution Point │ Input → Output │
├─────────────┼─────────────────┼───────────────────────────┤
│ Lint │ After parsing │ AST → Diagnostics │
│ Transform │ Before typeck │ AST → Modified AST │
│ Optimize │ After codegen │ LLVM IR → Modified IR │
│ Codegen │ After optimize │ Module → Additional files │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Lint Plugins
Purpose: Check code for style violations, anti-patterns, or project-specific rules.
Example: Naming convention checker
pub struct NamingConventionPlugin;
impl LintPlugin for NamingConventionPlugin {
fn check(&self, module: &Module) -> Vec<Diagnostic> {
let mut diagnostics = Vec::new();
for item in &module.items {
if let Item::Function(func) = &item.node {
if !is_snake_case(&func.name) {
diagnostics.push(Diagnostic {
level: DiagnosticLevel::Warning,
message: format!("Function '{}' should use snake_case", func.name),
span: Some(item.span),
help: Some(format!("Try renaming to '{}'", to_snake_case(&func.name))),
});
}
}
}
diagnostics
}
}
Output:
Warning: Function 'AddNumbers' should use snake_case
--> file.vais:3:3
|
3 | F AddNumbers(a,b)=a+b
| ^^^^^^^^^^
|
Help: Try renaming to 'add_numbers'
Transform Plugins
Purpose: Modify AST before type checking (macro expansion, desugaring, etc.).
Example: Auto-derive Debug trait
pub struct AutoDebugPlugin;
impl TransformPlugin for AutoDebugPlugin {
fn transform(&self, mut module: Module) -> Result<Module, String> {
for item in &mut module.items {
if let Item::Struct(s) = &mut item.node {
if s.attributes.iter().any(|a| a.name == "derive" && a.args.contains(&"Debug")) {
// Generate Debug impl
let debug_impl = generate_debug_impl(s);
module.items.push(debug_impl);
}
}
}
Ok(module)
}
}
Optimize Plugins
Purpose: Apply custom LLVM IR optimizations.
Example: Loop vectorization hint
pub struct VectorizationPlugin;
impl OptimizePlugin for VectorizationPlugin {
fn optimize(&self, ir: &str, level: OptLevel) -> Result<String, String> {
if level < OptLevel::O2 {
return Ok(ir.to_string());
}
// Add LLVM vectorization metadata to loops
let mut output = String::new();
for line in ir.lines() {
output.push_str(line);
if line.trim() == "br label %loop" {
output.push_str(", !llvm.loop !{metadata !\"llvm.loop.vectorize.enable\"}");
}
output.push('\n');
}
Ok(output)
}
}
Codegen Plugins
Purpose: Generate additional output files (bindings, documentation, etc.).
Example: C header generator
pub struct CHeaderPlugin;
impl CodegenPlugin for CHeaderPlugin {
fn generate(&self, module: &Module) -> Result<Vec<GeneratedFile>, String> {
let mut header = String::new();
header.push_str("#pragma once\n\n");
for item in &module.items {
if let Item::Function(func) = &item.node {
if func.visibility == Visibility::Public {
header.push_str(&format!(
"extern {} {}({});\n",
c_type(&func.ret_type),
func.name,
func.params.iter()
.map(|p| format!("{} {}", c_type(&p.ty), p.name))
.collect::<Vec<_>>()
.join(", ")
));
}
}
}
Ok(vec![GeneratedFile {
path: "output.h".to_string(),
contents: header,
}])
}
}
Plugin Loading
Configuration (vais-plugins.toml):
[plugins]
# Paths to plugin shared libraries
path = [
"./plugins/naming-convention.dylib",
"/usr/local/lib/vais-plugins/auto-debug.so",
]
# Plugin-specific configuration
[plugins.config]
naming-convention = { enforce_snake_case = true, max_name_length = 40 }
auto-debug = { include_private_fields = false }
CLI integration:
# Load plugins from vais-plugins.toml
vaisc build file.vais
# Disable all plugins
vaisc build file.vais --no-plugins
# Load additional plugin
vaisc build file.vais --plugin ./my-plugin.dylib
Dynamic loading (vais-plugin/loader.rs):
pub fn load_plugin(path: &Path) -> Result<LoadedPlugin, String> {
unsafe {
let lib = Library::new(path)?;
// Get plugin type
let get_type: Symbol<extern "C" fn() -> PluginType> =
lib.get(b"get_plugin_type")?;
let plugin_type = get_type();
// Create plugin instance
let create: Symbol<extern "C" fn() -> *mut dyn Plugin> =
lib.get(b"create_plugin")?;
let plugin = Box::from_raw(create());
Ok(LoadedPlugin {
lib,
plugin,
plugin_type,
})
}
}
Internationalization
Vais supports localized error messages in multiple languages.

]);
// → "Expected type i64, found String"
// Change locale:
set_locale(Locale::Korean);
let msg = get_simple("type.E001.title");
// → "타입 불일치"

- Deep pattern matching nesting
- Long identifier names (1000+ chars)
- Unicode identifiers
- Invalid UTF-8 input
Benchmark Suite
Performance tests (benches/ using Criterion):
fn bench_compile_stages(c: &mut Criterion) {
let src = fs::read_to_string("fixtures/fibonacci.vais").unwrap();
c.bench_function("lex", |b| {
b.iter(|| tokenize(black_box(&src)))
});

let module = parse_module(&src);
b.iter(|| {
let mut checker = TypeChecker::new();
checker.check_module(black_box(&module))
})
});
c.bench_function("codegen", |b| {
let (module, checker) = parse_and_check(&src);
b.iter(|| {
let mut codegen = CodeGenerator::new("bench");
codegen.generate_module(black_box(&module))
})
});
}
Results (M2 MacBook Pro):
lex time: [12.5 µs 12.7 µs 12.9 µs]
parse time: [45.2 µs 46.1 µs 47.0 µs]
typecheck time: [78.3 µs 79.8 µs 81.5 µs]
codegen time: [105 µs 108 µs 111 µs]
full_compile time: [241 µs 247 µs 253 µs]
Performance Considerations
Compilation Speed
Target: Compile 1000 lines of code in < 100ms (excluding LLVM/clang).
Bottlenecks:
- Lexing: Fast (logos state machine, ~5µs per 100 tokens)
- Parsing: Medium (recursive descent, ~50µs per 100 LOC)
- Type checking: Slow (H-M inference, ~100µs per 100 LOC)
- Code generation: Medium (text concatenation, ~50µs per 100 LOC)
- LLVM/clang: Very slow (seconds for large programs)
Optimizations:
- Parallel crate compilation: Future work (requires module system)
- Incremental compilation: Cache type-checked modules
- Lazy monomorphization: Only instantiate called generics
- Symbol table caching: Avoid redundant lookups
Runtime Performance
Zero-cost abstractions:
- Generics: Monomorphized (no boxing/vtables)
- Traits: Static dispatch (future: dynamic dispatch opt-in)
- Closures: Stack-allocated when possible
- Pattern matching: Compiled to jump tables
Memory model:
- Stack allocation by default (fast)
- Explicit heap via
Box<T>,Rc<T> - No garbage collection (predictable latency)
LLVM optimizations:
- O2 default: Balance compile time and runtime
- O3 optional: Aggressive inlining + loop opts
- LTO: Link-time optimization (future)
Benchmark: Fibonacci (n=40)
| Language | Time (ms) | Memory (KB) |
|---|---|---|
| Vais O2 | 1,250 | 120 |
| Vais O3 | 850 | 120 |
| Rust O2 | 1,100 | 110 |
| C O2 | 980 | 100 |
(Vais is within 10-20% of Rust/C performance)
Conclusion
The Vais compiler demonstrates a clean, modular architecture with clear separation of concerns:
- Lexer: Fast tokenization using logos state machines
- Parser: Predictive recursive descent for AI-friendly syntax
- Type Checker: H-M inference with monomorphization tracking
- Code Generator: LLVM IR text generation with debug support
- Optimizer: Custom IR passes + LLVM pipeline
- LSP: IDE integration for developer productivity
- Plugin System: Extensibility for custom tooling
- i18n: Localized errors for global developers
Key strengths:
- Token efficiency (40-60% reduction via single-letter keywords)
- Type safety (static typing with inference)
- Performance (native code via LLVM, zero-cost abstractions)
- Developer experience (LSP, REPL, formatter, debugger)
- Extensibility (plugins for custom lints/transforms)
Future work (see ROADMAP.md Phase 6):
- Incremental compilation
- WebAssembly target (wasm32)
- IntelliJ plugin
- Python/Node.js bindings for library use
Metrics (as of 2026-01-21):
- Lines of code: ~24,000 (Rust compiler + tools)
- Test coverage: 402 tests, 100% passing
- Example programs: 40+ demonstrating all features
- Documentation: 1,500+ lines across 4 documents
- Supported platforms: macOS (x86_64, arm64), Linux (x86_64)

JIT Compilation Design for Vais REPL
Overview
This document describes the JIT (Just-In-Time) compilation architecture for the Vais REPL, enabling immediate code execution without writing to disk or invoking external compilers.
Goals
- Eliminate Disk I/O: No temporary files for compilation
- Reduce Latency: Sub-millisecond compilation for small expressions
- Maintain Compatibility: Reuse existing codegen infrastructure where possible
- Incremental Compilation: Support accumulating definitions across REPL sessions
Architecture Options
Option A: Cranelift JIT (Recommended)
Pros:
- Pure Rust, no external dependencies
- Fast compilation (optimized for JIT use cases)
- Works on all platforms without LLVM installation
- Smaller binary size
- Well-suited for interpreter/REPL scenarios
Cons:
- Less optimized code than LLVM
- Fewer target architectures
- Different IR format requires translation
Option B: LLVM MCJIT via Inkwell
Pros:
- Reuses existing inkwell integration
- Highly optimized code generation
- Same IR as AOT compilation
Cons:
- Requires LLVM 17+ installed
- Slower compilation than Cranelift
- More complex setup
Decision: Cranelift JIT
We choose Cranelift for the REPL JIT because:
- The REPL prioritizes fast compilation over optimal runtime performance
- No external dependencies (works out of the box)
- Pure Rust implementation is easier to maintain
Implementation Plan
1. New Crate Structure
crates/vais-jit/
├── Cargo.toml
├── src/
│ ├── lib.rs # Public API
│ ├── compiler.rs # JIT compiler implementation
│ ├── runtime.rs # JIT runtime management
│ └── types.rs # Type mapping to Cranelift types
2. Dependencies
[dependencies]
cranelift = "0.115"
cranelift-jit = "0.115"
cranelift-module = "0.115"
cranelift-native = "0.115"
vais-ast = { path = "../vais-ast" }
vais-types = { path = "../vais-types" }
3. Core Components
JitCompiler
pub struct JitCompiler {
module: JITModule,
builder_context: FunctionBuilderContext,
ctx: codegen::Context,
data_description: DataDescription,
}
impl JitCompiler {
pub fn new() -> Result<Self, String>;
pub fn compile_function(&mut self, func: &Function) -> Result<*const u8, String>;
pub fn compile_expression(&mut self, expr: &Expr) -> Result<i64, String>;
}
Type Mapping
| Vais Type | Cranelift Type |
|---|---|
| i8 | I8 |
| i16 | I16 |
| i32 | I32 |
| i64 | I64 |
| f32 | F32 |
| f64 | F64 |
| bool | I8 |
| *T | I64 (pointer) |
4. REPL Integration
// In repl.rs
fn evaluate_expr_jit(source: &str, jit: &mut JitCompiler) -> Result<String, String> {
let ast = parse(source)?;
let mut checker = TypeChecker::new();
checker.check_module(&ast)?;
// Use JIT instead of codegen + clang
let result = jit.compile_expression(&ast.items[0])?;
Ok(format!("{}", result))
}
5. Feature Flag
# In vaisc/Cargo.toml
[features]
default = []
jit = ["vais-jit"]
The REPL will fallback to the current clang-based evaluation if JIT is not enabled.

Memory Management
Function Lifetime
- Functions compiled in a REPL session persist until
:clearcommand - Memory is freed when JitCompiler is dropped
- External function references (printf, malloc) are resolved at compile time
Data Segment
- String literals stored in data section
- Global variables supported through data segment
Error Handling
- Parse Errors: Return immediately with line/column info
- Type Errors: Return with detailed type mismatch info
- JIT Errors: Translate Cranelift errors to user-friendly messages
- Runtime Errors: Catch SIGSEGV/SIGFPE and report gracefully
Testing Strategy
- Unit Tests: Each JIT compiler method
- Integration Tests: Full REPL session scenarios
- Performance Tests: Compare JIT vs clang compilation time
Future Enhancements
- Debug Info: DWARF generation for JIT code
- Profiling: JIT code instrumentation
- Caching: Cache compiled functions by hash
- Optimization: Add optimization passes for hot functions
Timeline
- Phase 1: Basic JIT compiler with integer expressions
- Phase 2: Function definitions and calls
- Phase 3: Control flow (if/loop/match)
- Phase 4: Struct and enum support
- Phase 5: REPL integration and testing
GPU 코드 생성
Vais GPU Code Generation
Vais supports generating GPU compute shader code for CUDA, OpenCL, and WebGPU targets.
Quick Start
# Compile to CUDA
vaisc build kernel.vais --gpu cuda
# Compile to OpenCL
vaisc build kernel.vais --gpu opencl
# Compile to WebGPU WGSL
vaisc build kernel.vais --gpu webgpu
Writing GPU Kernels
Use the #[gpu] or #[kernel] attribute to mark functions as GPU kernels:
U std/gpu
# GPU kernel for vector addition
#[gpu]
F vector_add(a: *f64, b: *f64, c: *f64, n: i64) -> i64 {
idx := global_idx()
I idx < n {
c[idx] = a[idx] + b[idx]
}
0
}

Examples
Vector Addition
U std/gpu
#[gpu]
F vector_add(a: *f64, b: *f64, c: *f64, n: i64) -> i64 {
idx := global_idx()
I idx < n {
c[idx] = a[idx] + b[idx]
}
0
}
Generated CUDA:
__global__ void vector_add(double* a, double* b, double* c, long long n) {
long long idx = threadIdx.x + blockIdx.x * blockDim.x;
if (idx < n) {
c[idx] = a[idx] + b[idx];
}
}
Matrix Multiplication
U std/gpu
#[gpu]
F matmul(A: *f64, B: *f64, C: *f64, N: i64) -> i64 {
row := block_idx_y() * block_dim_y() + thread_idx_y()
col := block_idx_x() * block_dim_x() + thread_idx_x()
I row < N && col < N {
sum := 0.0
k := 0
L k < N {
sum = sum + A[row * N + k] * B[k * N + col]
k = k + 1
}
C[row * N + col] = sum
}
0
}
Reduction (Sum)
U std/gpu
#[gpu]
F reduce_sum(data: *f64, result: *f64, n: i64) -> i64 {
# Shared memory for partial sums (per block)
shared := shared_alloc(256 * 8)
tid := thread_idx_x()
idx := global_idx()
# Load data
I idx < n {
shared[tid] = data[idx]
} E {
shared[tid] = 0.0
}
sync_threads()
# Reduction in shared memory
s := 128
L s > 0 {
I tid < s {
shared[tid] = shared[tid] + shared[tid + s]
}
sync_threads()
s = s / 2
}
# Write result
I tid == 0 {
atomic_add(result, shared[0])
}
0
}
Limitations
- No closures: GPU kernels cannot use closures or captures
- Limited types: Only primitive types and pointers supported
- No recursion: GPU kernels cannot be recursive
- No dynamic allocation: Use
shared_alloc()for shared memory - Fixed function signatures: Kernel parameters must be pointers or primitives
Type Mapping
| Vais Type | CUDA | OpenCL | WGSL |
|---|---|---|---|
i64 | long long | long | i32* |
i32 | int | int | i32 |
f64 | double | double | f32* |
f32 | float | float | f32 |
bool | bool | bool | bool |
*T | T* | __global T* | ptr<storage, T> |
*WebGPU has limited 64-bit support
Performance Tips
- Coalesced memory access: Access memory in stride-1 pattern
- Shared memory: Use
shared_alloc()for frequently accessed data - Avoid divergence: Minimize branching within warps
- Occupancy: Choose block sizes that maximize GPU utilization
- Memory transfers: Minimize host-device data transfers
Future Enhancements
- Automatic memory transfer code generation
- Texture and surface memory support
- CUDA cooperative groups
- Multi-GPU support
- Performance profiling integration
JavaScript Code Generation
Vais can compile to JavaScript (ESM modules), enabling Vais code to run in browsers and Node.js environments.
Overview
The vais-codegen-js crate provides a JavaScript backend alongside the primary LLVM backend. It generates clean, readable ES module output.
Usage
# Compile to JavaScript
vaisc --target js input.vais -o output.js
# Compile to JavaScript module
vaisc --target js --module input.vais -o output.mjs
Features
- ES Module output — generates standard
import/exportsyntax - Type-safe codegen — preserves Vais type semantics in JavaScript
- Struct mapping — Vais structs compile to JavaScript classes
- Enum support — tagged unions with pattern matching
- String interpolation — maps to template literals
- Operator overloading — preserves Vais operator semantics
Example
Vais source:
S Point { x: f64, y: f64 }
F dist(p: Point) -> f64 {
sqrt(p.x * p.x + p.y * p.y)
}
F main() -> i64 {
p := Point { x: 3.0, y: 4.0 }
puts("distance = {dist(p)}")
0
}
Generated JavaScript:
export class Point {
constructor(x, y) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
}
export function dist(p) {
return Math.sqrt(p.x * p.x + p.y * p.y);
}
export function main() {
const p = new Point(3.0, 4.0);
console.log(`distance = ${dist(p)}`);
return 0;
}
Architecture
The JS codegen pipeline:
AST → Type Checker → JsCodegen → ESM output (.js/.mjs)
Key components in crates/vais-codegen-js/:
lib.rs— main entry point and module generationexpr.rs— expression code generationstmt.rs— statement code generationtypes.rs— type mapping (Vais types → JS representations)
Limitations
- No direct memory management (pointers compile to references)
- Integer arithmetic uses JavaScript's
Numbertype (no true i64 for values > 2^53) - FFI/extern functions are not supported in JS target
- GPU codegen is not available for JS target

// vais-lexer/src/lib.rs
use logos::Logos;
#[derive(Logos, Debug, Clone, PartialEq)]
pub enum Token {
#[token("F")] Function,
#[token("S")] Struct,
#[token("E")] Enum,

- 컴파일 타임 최적화: logos는 DFA 기반 매칭 코드를 생성
- 벤치마크: 50K 라인 → ~2ms (logos의 기여가 큼)
파서 (Parser)
재귀 하강 파서
Vais 파서는 수동으로 작성된 재귀 하강 파서입니다. LL(k) 문법을 지원하며, 대부분의 경우 1-lookahead로 충분합니다.
// vais-parser/src/lib.rs
pub struct Parser<'a> {
tokens: Vec<Token>,
current: usize,
source: &'a str,
}
impl<'a> Parser<'a> {
pub fn parse_module(&mut self) -> Result<Module, ParseError> {
let mut items = vec![];
while !self.is_at_end() {
items.push(self.parse_item()?);
}
Ok(Module { items })
}
}
모듈식 구조
파서는 파싱 로직을 여러 모듈로 분할합니다:
| 파일 | 담당 영역 |
|---|---|
lib.rs | 파서 드라이버, 모듈 파싱 |
item.rs | 최상위 아이템 (함수, 구조체, enum) |
types.rs | 타입 표현식 파싱 |
expr.rs | 표현식 파싱 (우선순위 등반) |
stmt.rs | 구문 파싱 |
pattern.rs | 패턴 파싱 (match arms) |
AST 노드 타입
// vais-ast/src/lib.rs
pub enum Item {
Function(Function),
Struct(Struct),
Enum(Enum),
TypeAlias(TypeAlias),
Use(Use),
Trait(Trait),
Impl(Impl),
}
pub struct Function {
pub name: String,
pub params: Vec<Param>,
pub return_type: Option<Type>,
pub body: Block,
pub generic_params: Vec<String>,
pub attributes: Vec<Attribute>,
}
pub enum Expr {
IntLiteral(i64),
BinaryOp { op: BinOp, left: Box<Expr>, right: Box<Expr> },
Call { func: Box<Expr>, args: Vec<Expr> },
FieldAccess { expr: Box<Expr>, field: String },
If { cond: Box<Expr>, then: Block, else_: Option<Block> },
Match { expr: Box<Expr>, arms: Vec<MatchArm> },
// ...
}
에러 복구
파서는 panic 기반 예외 대신 Result<T, ParseError> 패턴을 사용합니다:
pub enum ParseError {
UnexpectedToken { expected: String, found: Token },
UnexpectedEof,
InvalidSyntax { message: String },
}
에러 발생 시 Miette/Ariadne를 통해 진단 메시지를 생성합니다.
타입 체커 (Type Checker)
양방향 타입 추론
Vais는 bidirectional type checking을 사용합니다:
- Inference mode: 표현식에서 타입을 추론 (bottom-up)
- Checking mode: 기대 타입과 비교 검증 (top-down)
// vais-types/src/checker_expr.rs
impl TypeChecker {
pub fn infer_expr(&mut self, expr: &Expr) -> Result<ResolvedType, TypeError> {
match expr {
Expr::IntLiteral(_) => Ok(ResolvedType::I64),
Expr::BinaryOp { op, left, right } => {
let left_ty = self.infer_expr(left)?;
let right_ty = self.infer_expr(right)?;
self.check_binary_op(op, &left_ty, &right_ty)
}
// ...
}
}
pub fn check_expr(&mut self, expr: &Expr, expected: &ResolvedType)
-> Result<(), TypeError> {
let inferred = self.infer_expr(expr)?;
self.unify(&inferred, expected)
}
}
제네릭 해결
제네릭 함수/구조체는 인스턴스화 시점에 타입 파라미터를 구체 타입으로 치환합니다:
// vais-types/src/inference.rs
pub fn substitute_generics(
ty: &ResolvedType,
substitutions: &HashMap<String, ResolvedType>
) -> ResolvedType {
match ty {
ResolvedType::Generic(name) => {
substitutions.get(name).cloned()
.unwrap_or_else(|| ty.clone())
}
ResolvedType::Struct { name, type_args } => {
let new_args = type_args.iter()
.map(|arg| substitute_generics(arg, substitutions))
.collect();
ResolvedType::Struct { name: name.clone(), type_args: new_args }
}
// ...
}
}
제약 해결 (Constraint Solving)
트레잇 바운드 및 타입 제약은 Hindley-Milner 기반 단일화(unification)로 해결됩니다:
pub fn unify(&mut self, a: &ResolvedType, b: &ResolvedType)
-> Result<(), TypeError> {
match (a, b) {
(ResolvedType::I64, ResolvedType::I64) => Ok(()),
(ResolvedType::Generic(name), ty) | (ty, ResolvedType::Generic(name)) => {
self.bind_generic(name, ty)
}
(ResolvedType::Function { params: p1, ret: r1 },
ResolvedType::Function { params: p2, ret: r2 }) => {
for (t1, t2) in p1.iter().zip(p2.iter()) {
self.unify(t1, t2)?;
}
self.unify(r1, r2)
}
_ => Err(TypeError::TypeMismatch { expected: b.clone(), found: a.clone() })
}
}
Result/Option 타입 시스템
Vais는 enum 기반 에러 처리를 사용합니다:
E Result<T, E> {
Ok(T),
Err(E),
}
E Option<T> {
Some(T),
None,
}
?operator:Result::Err또는Option::None시 early return!operator: unwrap (런타임 panic)
타입 체커는 ? 사용 시 함수의 리턴 타입이 호환 가능한지 검증합니다.
중간 표현 (MIR)
MIR 설계 목적
**MIR (Mid-level Intermediate Representation)**은 AST와 LLVM IR 사이의 중간 계층입니다:
- Borrow Checking: 소유권/차용 규칙 검증
- Lifetime Inference: 참조의 생명주기 분석
- 최적화 패스: 고수준 최적화 수행
- 플랫폼 독립적: LLVM, JS, WASM 공통 표현
// vais-mir/src/lib.rs
pub struct Body {
pub locals: Vec<LocalDecl>,
pub basic_blocks: Vec<BasicBlock>,
pub lifetime_params: Vec<String>,
pub lifetime_bounds: Vec<LifetimeBound>,
}
pub struct BasicBlock {
pub statements: Vec<Statement>,
pub terminator: Terminator,
}
pub enum Statement {
Assign { place: Place, rvalue: Rvalue },
StorageLive(Local),
StorageDead(Local),
}
pub enum Terminator {
Return,
Goto { target: BasicBlock },
SwitchInt { discr: Operand, targets: Vec<(u128, BasicBlock)> },
Call { func: Operand, args: Vec<Operand>, destination: Place, target: BasicBlock },
}
Borrow Checker 통합
MIR 생성 후 Borrow Checker가 다음을 검증합니다:
| 에러 코드 | 설명 |
|---|---|
| E100 | Use After Move |
| E101 | Double Free |
| E102 | Use After Free |
| E103 | Mutable Borrow Conflict |
| E104 | Borrow While Mutably Borrowed |
| E105 | Move While Borrowed |
| E106 | Lifetime Violation |
// vais-mir/src/borrow_checker.rs
pub fn check_borrows(body: &Body) -> Result<(), BorrowError> {
let mut checker = BorrowChecker::new();
for block in &body.basic_blocks {
for stmt in &block.statements {
checker.visit_statement(stmt)?;
}
checker.visit_terminator(&block.terminator)?;
}
Ok(())
}
최적화 패스
MIR 레벨에서 수행되는 주요 최적화:
- Dead Code Elimination: 미사용 변수/함수 제거
- Constant Folding: 컴파일 타임 상수 계산
- Inlining: 작은 함수 인라인화
- Alias Analysis: 포인터 별칭 분석
- Bounds Check Elimination: 범위 검사 제거
- Loop Vectorization: SIMD 자동 벡터화
- Memory Layout Optimization: 구조체 필드 재배치
// selfhost/mir_optimizer.vais
F mir_advanced_optimize_body(body: MirBody) -> MirBody {
body := mir_alias_analysis(body)
body := mir_bounds_check_elimination(body)
body := mir_vectorize(body)
body := mir_layout_optimization(body)
body
}
코드 생성 (Codegen)
LLVM IR 생성 (Inkwell)
Vais는 Inkwell (LLVM 17)을 사용하여 LLVM IR을 생성합니다:
// vais-codegen/src/inkwell/generator.rs
pub struct CodeGenerator<'ctx> {
context: &'ctx Context,
module: Module<'ctx>,
builder: Builder<'ctx>,
functions: HashMap<String, FunctionValue<'ctx>>,
}
impl<'ctx> CodeGenerator<'ctx> {
pub fn generate_function(&mut self, func: &Function) -> Result<()> {
let fn_type = self.resolve_function_type(func)?;
let fn_val = self.module.add_function(&func.name, fn_type, None);
let entry_bb = self.context.append_basic_block(fn_val, "entry");
self.builder.position_at_end(entry_bb);
for stmt in &func.body.statements {
self.generate_statement(stmt)?;
}
Ok(())
}
}
Text IR vs Inkwell 경로
Vais는 두 가지 LLVM IR 생성 경로를 지원합니다:
| 경로 | 사용 시점 | 특징 |
|---|---|---|
| Text IR | --emit-ir 플래그 없을 때 | 문자열 기반, 빠른 프로토타이핑 |
| Inkwell | --emit-ir 플래그 있을 때 (기본) | 타입 안전, 최적화 지원 |
// vaisc/src/main.rs
if use_inkwell {
// Inkwell 백엔드 사용 (기본값)
let codegen = InkwellCodeGenerator::new();
codegen.generate_module(&typed_ast)?;
} else {
// Text IR 백엔드 사용
let ir = generate_text_ir(&typed_ast);
std::fs::write("output.ll", ir)?;
}
JavaScript ESM 생성
--target js 플래그 사용 시 JavaScript ESM 코드를 생성합니다:
// vais-codegen-js/src/lib.rs
pub fn generate_js(module: &Module) -> String {
let mut output = String::new();
for item in &module.items {
match item {
Item::Function(func) => {
output.push_str(&format!("export function {}(", func.name));
// 파라미터, 함수 본문 생성...
}
}
}
output
}
생성된 JavaScript는 ES2020 표준을 따르며 다음을 지원합니다:
- BigInt (i64/u64)
- Async/Await
- Module imports/exports
- TypedArray (배열 연산)
WASM 코드 생성
--target wasm32-unknown-unknown 사용 시 WebAssembly 바이너리를 생성합니다:
// vais-codegen/src/wasm.rs
pub fn generate_wasm_module(module: &Module) -> Vec<u8> {
let config = WasmConfig {
import_memory: true,
export_table: true,
};
// LLVM을 통해 WASM 바이너리 생성
let target = Target::from_name("wasm32-unknown-unknown").unwrap();
// ...
}
WASM 타겟은 다음을 지원합니다:
- WASI: 시스템 호출 인터페이스
- JS Interop:
#[wasm_import]/#[wasm_export]어트리뷰트 - Component Model: WebAssembly Component 표준
최적화
최적화 레벨
| 레벨 | 플래그 | 설명 | LLVM Pass |
|---|---|---|---|
| O0 | (기본값) | 최적화 없음 | -O0 |
| O1 | -O1 | 기본 최적화 | -O1 |
| O2 | -O2 | 중간 최적화 | -O2 |
| O3 | -O3 | 최대 최적화 | -O3 |
vaisc -O3 program.vais # 최대 최적화
주요 최적화 패스
1. 인라인화 (Inlining)
작은 함수를 호출 지점에 인라인화:
#[inline] // 힌트 제공
F small_function(x: i64) -> i64 {
x * 2
}
2. 루프 최적화
- Loop Unrolling: 루프 펼치기
- Loop Vectorization: SIMD 변환
- Loop Invariant Code Motion: 불변식 이동
# 벡터화 가능한 루프
L i := 0; i < 1000; i := i + 1 {
arr[i] := arr[i] * 2 # SIMD 명령어로 변환 가능
}
3. 메모리 최적화
- Escape Analysis: 힙→스택 할당 변환
- Dead Store Elimination: 불필요한 저장 제거
- Memory Layout: 구조체 필드 재배치 (캐시 최적화)
// vais-codegen/src/advanced_opt/mir_layout.rs
// 핫 필드를 앞에 배치 (캐시 라인 효율)
S OptimizedStruct {
hot_field: i64, // 자주 접근
cold_field: i64, // 드물게 접근
}
병렬 컴파일
Vais는 모듈 의존성 그래프를 기반으로 병렬 컴파일을 수행합니다:
// vaisc/src/parallel.rs
pub fn parallel_compile(modules: Vec<Module>) -> Result<Vec<CompiledModule>> {
let dag = DependencyGraph::build(&modules)?;
let levels = dag.topological_sort()?;
let (tx, rx) = mpsc::sync_channel(4);
for level in levels {
// 같은 레벨의 모듈은 병렬 컴파일 가능
level.par_iter().for_each(|module| {
let result = compile_module(module);
tx.send(result).unwrap();
});
}
// 결과 수집
rx.iter().collect()
}
성능 향상:
- 파싱: 2.18x speedup (10 모듈)
- 코드 생성: 4.14x speedup (10 모듈)
JIT 컴파일
Cranelift 기반 JIT
Vais는 Cranelift를 사용하여 즉시 실행 컴파일을 지원합니다:
// vais-jit/src/lib.rs
use cranelift::prelude::*;
use cranelift_jit::{JITBuilder, JITModule};
pub struct JitCompiler {
builder_context: FunctionBuilderContext,
ctx: codegen::Context,
module: JITModule,
}
impl JitCompiler {
pub fn compile_and_run(&mut self, func: &Function) -> Result<i64> {
// Cranelift IR로 변환
let mut func_ctx = self.ctx.func;
let entry_block = func_ctx.dfg.make_block();
for stmt in &func.body.statements {
self.translate_statement(stmt, &mut func_ctx)?;
}
// JIT 컴파일
let id = self.module.declare_function(&func.name, Linkage::Export, &func_ctx.signature)?;
self.module.define_function(id, &mut self.ctx)?;
self.module.finalize_definitions();
// 실행
let code = self.module.get_finalized_function(id);
let code_fn = unsafe { std::mem::transmute::<_, fn() -> i64>(code) };
Ok(code_fn())
}
}
REPL 통합
JIT는 REPL에서 즉시 코드를 실행하는 데 사용됩니다:
$ vaisc --repl
vais> F fib(n: i64) -> i64 { n < 2 ? n : @(n-1) + @(n-2) }
vais> fib(10)
55
vais> :jit-stats
JIT Statistics:
Compiled functions: 1
Execution time: 0.023ms
Tier: Baseline
OSR (On-Stack Replacement)
핫 루프를 감지하여 실행 중 최적화된 코드로 전환:
// vais-jit/src/osr.rs
pub struct OsrPoint {
pub loop_id: usize,
pub hot_path_score: u64,
pub compiled_code: Option<*const u8>,
}
pub fn check_osr(osr_point: &mut OsrPoint) -> bool {
osr_point.hot_path_score += 1;
if osr_point.hot_path_score > OSR_THRESHOLD {
// 최적화된 버전으로 전환
return true;
}
false
}

Inkwell 통합
inkwell 직접 통합 설계 문서
작성일: 2026-01-21 상태: 설계 중 난이도: 상
1. 개요
1.1 현재 상황
vais-codegen은 LLVM IR을 문자열로 생성- 생성된 IR 텍스트를
clang에 전달하여 네이티브 바이너리 생성 - 장점: LLVM 설치 불필요, 단순한 구현
- 단점: 타입 안전성 부족, 런타임 IR 파싱 오버헤드, 에러 감지 지연
1.2 목표
- inkwell (Rust LLVM 바인딩)을 사용하여 LLVM API 직접 호출
- 컴파일 타임 타입 안전성 확보
- 더 빠른 코드 생성 (문자열 파싱 제거)
- JIT 컴파일 기반 마련
1.3 범위
포함:
- CodeGenerator를 inkwell 기반으로 리팩토링
- 기존 기능 100% 유지
- 테스트 통과 보장
제외 (후속 작업):
- JIT 실행 (별도 Phase)
- Self-hosting (별도 Phase)

단형화 설계
Monomorphization Design for Vais
Overview
Vais will implement monomorphization (also known as "specialization") for generics, similar to Rust and C++. Each unique combination of generic type parameters will generate a specialized version of the function or struct at compile time.
Current State
Currently, Vais uses type erasure: all generic type parameters are converted to i64 at runtime.
F identity<T>(x: T) -> T = x
# Currently generates single: @identity(i64 %x) -> i64
Target State
After monomorphization, each unique instantiation will generate its own code:
F identity<T>(x: T) -> T = x
# Usage:
identity(42) # instantiates identity<i64>
identity(3.14) # instantiates identity<f64>
identity(point) # instantiates identity<Point>
Generated LLVM:
define i64 @identity$i64(i64 %x) { ret i64 %x }
define double @identity$f64(double %x) { ret double %x }
define %Point @identity$Point(%Point %x) { ret %Point %x }
Architecture Changes
1. Type Checker Changes (vais-types)
1.1 Generic Instantiation Tracking
// New struct to track generic instantiations needed
pub struct GenericInstantiation {
pub base_name: String, // e.g., "identity", "Vec"
pub type_args: Vec<ResolvedType>, // e.g., [i64], [f64]
pub mangled_name: String, // e.g., "identity$i64", "Vec$i64"
}
// Add to TypeChecker
pub struct TypeChecker {
// ... existing fields ...
// Track all generic instantiations needed
generic_instantiations: Vec<GenericInstantiation>,
// Generic function definitions (uninstantiated)
generic_functions: HashMap<String, GenericFunctionDef>,
// Generic struct definitions (uninstantiated)
generic_structs: HashMap<String, GenericStructDef>,
}
1.2 Type Inference for Generics
When a generic function is called, infer the concrete types:
fn check_generic_call(&mut self, func_name: &str, args: &[Expr]) -> TypeResult<ResolvedType> {
let generic_fn = self.generic_functions.get(func_name)?;
// Infer type arguments from argument types
let mut type_args = HashMap::new();
for (param, arg) in generic_fn.params.iter().zip(args) {
let arg_type = self.check_expr(arg)?;
self.infer_type_arg(¶m.ty, &arg_type, &mut type_args)?;
}
// Create instantiation
let type_arg_list: Vec<_> = generic_fn.generics.iter()
.map(|g| type_args.get(&g.name).cloned().unwrap_or(ResolvedType::I64))
.collect();
let mangled = mangle_name(func_name, &type_arg_list);
self.generic_instantiations.push(GenericInstantiation {
base_name: func_name.to_string(),
type_args: type_arg_list.clone(),
mangled_name: mangled.clone(),
});
// Return substituted return type
substitute_generics(&generic_fn.ret, &type_args)
}
2. Code Generator Changes (vais-codegen)
2.1 Name Mangling
fn mangle_name(base: &str, type_args: &[ResolvedType]) -> String {
if type_args.is_empty() {
base.to_string()
} else {
let args_str = type_args.iter()
.map(|t| mangle_type(t))
.collect::<Vec<_>>()
.join("_");
format!("{}${}", base, args_str)
}
}
fn mangle_type(ty: &ResolvedType) -> String {
match ty {
ResolvedType::I8 => "i8".to_string(),
ResolvedType::I16 => "i16".to_string(),
ResolvedType::I32 => "i32".to_string(),
ResolvedType::I64 => "i64".to_string(),
ResolvedType::F32 => "f32".to_string(),
ResolvedType::F64 => "f64".to_string(),
ResolvedType::Bool => "bool".to_string(),
ResolvedType::Str => "str".to_string(),
ResolvedType::Named { name, generics } => {
if generics.is_empty() {
name.clone()
} else {
let args = generics.iter()
.map(|g| mangle_type(g))
.collect::<Vec<_>>()
.join("_");
format!("{}_{}", name, args)
}
}
_ => "unknown".to_string(),
}
}
2.2 Generic Function Generation
fn generate_generic_instantiations(&mut self) -> CodegenResult<String> {
let mut ir = String::new();
for inst in &self.generic_instantiations {
if let Some(generic_fn) = self.generic_functions.get(&inst.base_name) {
// Create type substitution map
let mut subst = HashMap::new();
for (param, arg) in generic_fn.generics.iter().zip(&inst.type_args) {
subst.insert(param.name.clone(), arg.clone());
}
// Generate specialized function
ir.push_str(&self.generate_specialized_function(
&inst.mangled_name,
generic_fn,
&subst,
)?);
}
}
Ok(ir)
}
2.3 Generic Struct Generation
fn generate_generic_struct(&mut self, inst: &GenericInstantiation) -> CodegenResult<String> {
let generic_struct = self.generic_structs.get(&inst.base_name)?;
// Create type substitution
let mut subst = HashMap::new();
for (param, arg) in generic_struct.generics.iter().zip(&inst.type_args) {
subst.insert(param.name.clone(), arg.clone());
}
// Generate specialized struct type
let fields: Vec<_> = generic_struct.fields.iter()
.map(|(name, ty)| {
let concrete_ty = substitute_type(ty, &subst);
(name.clone(), self.type_to_llvm(&concrete_ty))
})
.collect();
let struct_ir = format!(
"%{} = type {{ {} }}\n",
inst.mangled_name,
fields.iter().map(|(_, t)| t.as_str()).collect::<Vec<_>>().join(", ")
);
Ok(struct_ir)
}
3. Standard Library Changes
3.1 Vec<T> Definition
# Vec<T> - generic dynamic array
S Vec<T> {
data: i64, # Pointer to T array (raw pointer)
len: i64, # Current number of elements
cap: i64, # Allocated capacity
elem_size: i64 # Size of T in bytes (for generic support)
}
X Vec<T> {
F with_capacity(capacity: i64) -> Vec<T> {
elem_size := sizeof(T)
data := malloc(capacity * elem_size)
Vec<T> { data: data, len: 0, cap: capacity, elem_size: elem_size }
}
F push(&self, value: T) -> i64 {
I self.len >= self.cap {
@.grow()
}
ptr := self.data + self.len * self.elem_size
store(ptr, value) # Generic store
self.len = self.len + 1
self.len
}
F get(&self, index: i64) -> T {
ptr := self.data + index * self.elem_size
load(ptr) # Generic load
}
# ... other methods
}
3.2 HashMap<K, V> Definition
# Entry<K, V> - linked list node
S Entry<K, V> {
key: K,
value: V,
next: i64 # Pointer to next Entry<K, V>
}
# HashMap<K, V> - generic hash map
S HashMap<K, V> {
buckets: i64, # Pointer to array of Entry<K, V> pointers
size: i64,
cap: i64,
key_size: i64,
val_size: i64
}
X HashMap<K, V> {
F with_capacity(capacity: i64) -> HashMap<K, V> {
cap := capacity
I cap < 8 { cap = 8 }
buckets := malloc(cap * 8)
# Initialize buckets to null
i := 0
L {
I i >= cap { B 0 }
store_i64(buckets + i * 8, 0)
i = i + 1
}
HashMap<K, V> {
buckets: buckets,
size: 0,
cap: cap,
key_size: sizeof(K),
val_size: sizeof(V)
}
}
# ... other methods with K, V types
}
4. Built-in Generic Functions
4.1 sizeof<T>
Returns the size in bytes of type T at compile time:
sizeof(i8) # => 1
sizeof(i64) # => 8
sizeof(f64) # => 8
sizeof(Point) # => struct size
Implementation in codegen:
fn builtin_sizeof(&self, ty: &ResolvedType) -> i64 {
match ty {
ResolvedType::I8 | ResolvedType::Bool => 1,
ResolvedType::I16 => 2,
ResolvedType::I32 | ResolvedType::F32 => 4,
ResolvedType::I64 | ResolvedType::F64 => 8,
ResolvedType::Named { name, .. } => {
self.structs.get(name)
.map(|s| s.fields.iter().map(|(_, t)| self.type_size(t)).sum())
.unwrap_or(8)
}
_ => 8, // Default pointer size
}
}
4.2 Generic load/store
// Generic load: read T from memory address
fn builtin_load<T>(ptr: i64) -> T
// Generic store: write T to memory address
fn builtin_store<T>(ptr: i64, value: T)
5. Implementation Phases
Phase 1: Infrastructure
- Add
GenericInstantiationtracking to TypeChecker - Implement name mangling utilities
- Add
sizeofbuilt-in function
Phase 2: Type Checker
- Modify
check_callto handle generic functions - Implement type argument inference
- Track required instantiations
Phase 3: Code Generator
- Generate specialized structs
- Generate specialized functions
- Update function calls to use mangled names
Phase 4: Standard Library
- Convert Vec to
Vec<T> - Convert HashMap to
HashMap<K, V> - Add tests for generic collections
6. Limitations & Future Work
Current Limitations
- No higher-kinded types (no
Monad<F<_>>) - No specialization (no
impl<T: Copy>vsimpl<T>) - No associated types in traits yet
Future Improvements
- Trait-based generic bounds with method dispatch
- Default type parameters (
Vec<T = i64>) - Const generics (
Array<T, N: const>)
Example Compilation
Source
S Pair<T> {
first: T,
second: T
}
F swap<T>(p: Pair<T>) -> Pair<T> =
Pair<T> { first: p.second, second: p.first }
F main() -> i64 {
p1 := Pair<i64> { first: 1, second: 2 }
p2 := swap(p1)
pf := Pair<f64> { first: 1.0, second: 2.0 }
pf2 := swap(pf)
p2.first + p2.second
}
Generated LLVM IR
; Specialized structs
%Pair$i64 = type { i64, i64 }
%Pair$f64 = type { double, double }
; Specialized functions
define %Pair$i64 @swap$i64(%Pair$i64 %p) {
entry:
%first = extractvalue %Pair$i64 %p, 0
%second = extractvalue %Pair$i64 %p, 1
%result = insertvalue %Pair$i64 undef, i64 %second, 0
%result2 = insertvalue %Pair$i64 %result, i64 %first, 1
ret %Pair$i64 %result2
}
define %Pair$f64 @swap$f64(%Pair$f64 %p) {
entry:
%first = extractvalue %Pair$f64 %p, 0
%second = extractvalue %Pair$f64 %p, 1
%result = insertvalue %Pair$f64 undef, double %second, 0
%result2 = insertvalue %Pair$f64 %result, double %first, 1
ret %Pair$f64 %result2
}
define i64 @main() {
entry:
; Create Pair<i64>
%p1 = alloca %Pair$i64
; ... initialize and call swap$i64 ...
; Create Pair<f64>
%pf = alloca %Pair$f64
; ... initialize and call swap$f64 ...
ret i64 3
}
Testing Strategy
- Unit tests: Test name mangling, type substitution
- Integration tests: Full compilation of generic code
- Standard library tests:
Vec<T>,HashMap<K, V>with various types - Performance tests: Ensure no runtime overhead vs hand-written code

- Type cast - Fix type mismatches
- Extract variable - Extract expression to variable
- Extract function - Extract selection to function
Troubleshooting
LSP Server Not Starting
-
Check if server is built:
ls -la target/release/vais-lsp -
Check if server is in PATH:
which vais-lsp -
Run server manually to check for errors:
vais-lsp 2>&1 | head -20
Syntax Highlighting Not Working
- Verify file extension: Must be
.vais - Check filetype detection:
- Neovim:
:set ft?should showvais - Emacs:
M-x describe-modeshould showVais
- Neovim:
- Reload syntax files after installation
Completion Not Triggering
- Verify LSP is connected:
- Neovim:
:LspInfo - VS Code: Check status bar
- Emacs:
M-x lsp-describe-session
- Neovim:
- Check trigger characters:
.and:trigger completion - Manual trigger: Use Ctrl+Space or your editor's completion key
Performance Issues
- Large files: LSP may be slow on files >10,000 lines
- Enable incremental sync if available
- Check for excessive logging: Disable trace/verbose modes
Debug Adapter Protocol (DAP)
Vais includes a Debug Adapter Protocol server (vais-dap) for IDE-level debugging support.
Building the DAP Server
cargo build --release --bin vais-dap
# Add to PATH (optional)
export PATH="$PATH:$(pwd)/target/release"
Features
- Source-level debugging with breakpoints
- Step over, step into, step out
- Local variables and arguments inspection
- Register inspection
- Memory read/write
- Disassembly view
- Conditional breakpoints
- Function breakpoints
- Exception breakpoints (panic)
- Expression evaluation
VS Code Debugging
- Install the Vais extension
- Create a launch configuration in
.vscode/launch.json:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"type": "vais",
"request": "launch",
"name": "Debug Vais Program",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/main.vais",
"stopOnEntry": true,
"autoCompile": true,
"optLevel": 0
}
]
}
- Set breakpoints by clicking in the gutter
- Press F5 to start debugging
Neovim Debugging
With nvim-dap:
local dap = require('dap')
dap.adapters.vais = {
type = 'executable',
command = 'vais-dap',
}
dap.configurations.vais = {
{
type = 'vais',
request = 'launch',
name = 'Debug Vais Program',
program = '${file}',
stopOnEntry = true,
autoCompile = true,
}
}
Emacs Debugging
With dap-mode:
(require 'dap-mode)
(dap-register-debug-template
"Vais Debug"
(list :type "vais"
:request "launch"
:name "Debug Vais"
:program nil ; Will prompt for file
:stopOnEntry t
:autoCompile t))
;; Or use dap-debug directly
(defun vais-debug ()
"Debug current Vais file."
(interactive)
(dap-debug
(list :type "vais"
:request "launch"
:name "Debug"
:program (buffer-file-name)
:stopOnEntry t
:autoCompile t)))
CLI Usage
# Start DAP server (stdio mode, for IDE integration)
vais-dap
# Start DAP server on TCP port (for remote debugging)
vais-dap --port 4711
# With verbose logging
vais-dap --log-level debug

Language Server Protocol 1.18 Features
Overview
The Vais Language Server implements the Language Server Protocol (LSP) version 1.18, providing rich IDE features for Vais development.
Implemented Features
Text Document Synchronization
Full Document Sync:
- Open document notification
- Change document notification
- Close document notification
- Save document notification
Implementation:
pub fn handle_text_document_sync(
&mut self,
params: DidChangeTextDocumentParams,
) -> Result<()> {
let uri = params.text_document.uri;
let changes = params.content_changes;
for change in changes {
self.update_document(&uri, &change.text);
}
// Trigger re-analysis
self.analyze_document(&uri)?;
self.publish_diagnostics(&uri)?;
Ok(())
}
Code Completion
Features:
- Keyword completion (F, S, E, I, L, M, R, etc.)
- Variable name completion
- Function name completion
- Struct field completion
- Module/import completion
- Method completion
Trigger Characters: ., :, >
Example:
S Point { x: i64, y: i64 }
F main() -> i64 {
p := Point { x: 10, y: 20 }
p. # <-- Completion shows: x, y
}
Implementation:
pub fn completion(&self, params: CompletionParams) -> Result<CompletionList> {
let position = params.text_document_position.position;
let uri = ¶ms.text_document_position.text_document.uri;
let doc = self.documents.get(uri)?;
let scope = self.get_scope_at_position(doc, position)?;
let mut items = Vec::new();
// Add keywords
items.extend(self.keyword_completions());
// Add variables in scope
items.extend(self.variable_completions(&scope));
// Add functions
items.extend(self.function_completions(&scope));
// Add struct fields if after '.'
if let Some(fields) = self.struct_field_completions(doc, position)? {
items.extend(fields);
}
Ok(CompletionList {
is_incomplete: false,
items,
})
}
Go to Definition
Supported:
- Function definitions
- Variable definitions
- Struct definitions
- Enum definitions
- Type aliases
Example:
F helper() -> i64 { 42 }
F main() -> i64 {
result := helper() # Ctrl+Click on 'helper' goes to definition
}
Implementation:
pub fn goto_definition(
&self,
params: GotoDefinitionParams,
) -> Result<Option<Location>> {
let position = params.text_document_position_params.position;
let uri = ¶ms.text_document_position_params.text_document.uri;
let doc = self.documents.get(uri)?;
let word = self.word_at_position(doc, position)?;
// Look up definition in symbol table
if let Some(symbol) = self.symbols.get(&word) {
return Ok(Some(Location {
uri: symbol.uri.clone(),
range: symbol.range,
}));
}
Ok(None)
}
Hover Information
Provides:
- Type information
- Function signatures
- Documentation comments
- Value information
Example:
# Adds two numbers
F add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 {
a + b
}
F main() -> i64 {
# Hovering over 'add' shows:
# F add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64
# Adds two numbers
result := add(5, 10)
}
Implementation:
pub fn hover(&self, params: HoverParams) -> Result<Option<Hover>> {
let position = params.text_document_position_params.position;
let uri = ¶ms.text_document_position_params.text_document.uri;
let doc = self.documents.get(uri)?;
let word = self.word_at_position(doc, position)?;
if let Some(symbol) = self.symbols.get(&word) {
let contents = MarkedString::LanguageString(LanguageString {
language: "vais".to_string(),
value: symbol.signature.clone(),
});
return Ok(Some(Hover {
contents: HoverContents::Scalar(contents),
range: Some(symbol.range),
}));
}
Ok(None)
}
Diagnostics
Real-time Error Reporting:
- Syntax errors
- Type errors
- Undefined variable errors
- Unused variable warnings
- Dead code warnings
Severity Levels:
- Error (red squiggly)
- Warning (yellow squiggly)
- Information (blue squiggly)
- Hint (gray dots)
Example:
F main() -> i64 {
x := "hello"
result := x + 5 # Error: cannot add string and integer
unused := 42 # Warning: unused variable
}
Implementation:
pub fn publish_diagnostics(&self, uri: &Url) -> Result<()> {
let doc = self.documents.get(uri)?;
let mut diagnostics = Vec::new();
// Parse and type check
match self.analyze(doc) {
Ok(_) => {}
Err(errors) => {
for error in errors {
diagnostics.push(Diagnostic {
range: error.range,
severity: Some(DiagnosticSeverity::ERROR),
message: error.message,
..Default::default()
});
}
}
}
// Check for warnings
diagnostics.extend(self.check_warnings(doc)?);
self.client.publish_diagnostics(uri.clone(), diagnostics, None);
Ok(())
}
Document Symbols
Outline View:
- Functions
- Structs
- Enums
- Traits
- Implementations
Example Outline:
main.vais
├── S Point
├── S Circle
├── F distance(Point, Point) -> f64
├── F main() -> i64
└── impl Circle
├── F new(f64) -> Circle
└── F area(*Circle) -> f64
Implementation:
pub fn document_symbols(
&self,
params: DocumentSymbolParams,
) -> Result<Vec<DocumentSymbol>> {
let uri = ¶ms.text_document.uri;
let doc = self.documents.get(uri)?;
let ast = self.parse(doc)?;
let mut symbols = Vec::new();
for item in &ast.items {
match item {
Item::Function(func) => {
symbols.push(DocumentSymbol {
name: func.name.clone(),
kind: SymbolKind::FUNCTION,
range: func.range,
selection_range: func.name_range,
children: None,
..Default::default()
});
}
Item::Struct(s) => {
symbols.push(DocumentSymbol {
name: s.name.clone(),
kind: SymbolKind::STRUCT,
range: s.range,
selection_range: s.name_range,
children: Some(self.struct_field_symbols(s)),
..Default::default()
});
}
// ... more item types
}
}
Ok(symbols)
}
Workspace Symbols
Project-wide Symbol Search:
Ctrl+T / Cmd+T: Search for symbols across entire workspace
Implementation:
pub fn workspace_symbols(
&self,
params: WorkspaceSymbolParams,
) -> Result<Vec<SymbolInformation>> {
let query = params.query.to_lowercase();
let mut results = Vec::new();
for (name, symbol) in &self.symbols {
if name.to_lowercase().contains(&query) {
results.push(SymbolInformation {
name: name.clone(),
kind: symbol.kind,
location: Location {
uri: symbol.uri.clone(),
range: symbol.range,
},
..Default::default()
});
}
}
// Sort by relevance
results.sort_by(|a, b| {
let a_starts = a.name.to_lowercase().starts_with(&query);
let b_starts = b.name.to_lowercase().starts_with(&query);
b_starts.cmp(&a_starts)
});
Ok(results)
}
Find References
Find All Usages:
- Variable references
- Function calls
- Type references
Example:
F helper() -> i64 { 42 } # Definition
F main() -> i64 {
x := helper() # Reference 1
y := helper() # Reference 2
x + y
}
Right-click → Find All References shows both usages.
Rename Symbol
Safe Refactoring:
- Rename variables
- Rename functions
- Rename types
- Update all references
Example:
# Before:
F oldName() -> i64 { 42 }
F main() -> i64 { oldName() }
# Rename oldName → newName:
F newName() -> i64 { 42 }
F main() -> i64 { newName() }
Implementation:
pub fn rename(
&self,
params: RenameParams,
) -> Result<Option<WorkspaceEdit>> {
let position = params.text_document_position.position;
let uri = ¶ms.text_document_position.text_document.uri;
let new_name = params.new_name;
let doc = self.documents.get(uri)?;
let old_name = self.word_at_position(doc, position)?;
// Find all references
let references = self.find_references(&old_name)?;
// Create text edits
let mut changes = HashMap::new();
for reference in references {
let edits = changes.entry(reference.uri).or_insert(Vec::new());
edits.push(TextEdit {
range: reference.range,
new_text: new_name.clone(),
});
}
Ok(Some(WorkspaceEdit {
changes: Some(changes),
..Default::default()
}))
}
Code Actions
Quick Fixes:
- Import missing modules
- Add missing type annotations
- Remove unused variables
- Extract function
- Inline variable
Example:
F main() -> i64 {
unused := 42 # Light bulb icon → "Remove unused variable"
}
Formatting
Automatic Code Formatting:
- Format on save
- Format on type
- Format selection
- Format document
Configuration:
{
"vais.format.indentSize": 4,
"vais.format.maxLineLength": 100,
"vais.format.insertSpaces": true
}
Signature Help
Parameter Hints: Shows parameter information while typing function calls.
Example:
F complex(a: i64, b: f64, c: String) -> i64 { 0 }
F main() -> i64 {
# Typing 'complex(' shows:
# complex(a: i64, b: f64, c: String) -> i64
# ^^^^^ ------ --------
complex(42,
# ^ Shows: b: f64
}
Semantic Tokens
Syntax Highlighting:
- Keywords (F, S, E, I, L, M, R)
- Functions
- Variables
- Types
- Operators
- Comments
- Strings
- Numbers
Token Types:
- namespace
- type
- class
- enum
- interface
- struct
- function
- variable
- parameter
- property
- keyword
- comment
- string
- number
- operator
Inlay Hints
Type Hints: Shows inferred types inline:
F main() -> i64 {
x := 42 # : i64
y := 3.14 # : f64
s := "hello" # : String
}
Folding Ranges
Code Folding:
- Function bodies
- Struct definitions
- Impl blocks
- Comments
Example:
F long_function() -> i64 { # [▼]
# Many lines of code...
0
}
# Can fold to:
F long_function() -> i64 { ... }
Performance Features
Incremental Parsing
Only re-parse changed portions of the document:
pub fn incremental_parse(&mut self, changes: Vec<TextDocumentContentChangeEvent>) {
for change in changes {
// Only reparse affected ranges
let affected = self.get_affected_range(&change);
self.reparse_range(affected);
}
}
Lazy Symbol Resolution
Symbols are resolved on-demand for better performance.
Caching
- Parse tree caching
- Symbol table caching
- Type information caching

Example Programs
1. Hello World
Simple program demonstrating basic output.
F main()->i64 {
puts("Hello, Vais!")
0
}
2. Fibonacci
Recursive function using self-recursion operator @.
F fib(n:i64)->i64 = n<2 ? n : @(n-1) + @(n-2)
F main()->i64 = fib(10)
3. Generics
Type-generic functions with type inference.
F identity<T>(x: T) -> T = x
F main() -> i64 {
a := identity(42)
0
}
4. Control Flow
If-else expressions and loop constructs.
F main()->i64 {
x := 10
result := I x > 5 {
puts("Greater than 5")
1
} E {
puts("Not greater")
0
}
L i:0..5 {
putchar(i + 48)
}
0
}
5. Structs
Struct definitions with methods.
S Point {
x: f64,
y: f64
}
X Point {
F distance_from_origin() -> f64 {
sqrt(@.x * @.x + @.y * @.y)
}
}
6. Enums
Algebraic data types with pattern matching.
E Option<T> {
Some(T),
None
}
F get_value(opt: Option<i64>) -> i64 {
M opt {
Some(v) => v,
None => 0
}
}
7. Pattern Matching
Exhaustive pattern matching with bindings.
F classify(n: i64) -> i64 {
M n {
0 => 0,
1 => 1,
_ => -1
}
}
8. Loops
Range-based and while-style loops.
F main() -> i64 {
# Range loop
L i:0..10 {
putchar(i + 48)
}
# While-style with break
counter := mut 0
L {
I counter >= 5 { B }
counter = counter + 1
}
0
}
9. Self-Recursion
Using @ operator for recursive calls.
F factorial(n: i64) -> i64 =
I n <= 1 { 1 } E { n * @(n - 1) }
10. Type Inference
Automatic type deduction.
F main() -> i64 {
x := 42 # Inferred as i64
y := 3.14 # Inferred as f64
z := add(10, 20) # Inferred from return type
0
}
F add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 = a + b

Learning the Language
Lesson 1: Functions
Functions in Vais start with F:
# Single-expression function
F add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 = a + b
# Block function
F greet(name: str) -> i64 {
puts("Hello, ")
puts(name)
0
}
# Main function (entry point)
F main() -> i64 {
result := add(5, 3)
greet("World")
0
}
Try it:
- Load the "Functions" example
- Modify the parameters
- Run and see the results
Lesson 2: Variables and Types
Vais uses := for type-inferred declarations:
F main() -> i64 {
# Type inference
x := 42 # i64
y := 3.14 # f64
flag := true # bool
# Explicit types
a: i64 = 100
b: f64 = 2.5
# Type annotations in functions
result := add(x, a)
0
}
F add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 = a + b
Supported Types:
- Integers:
i8,i16,i32,i64,u8,u16,u32,u64 - Floats:
f32,f64 - Boolean:
bool - String:
str - Arrays:
[T] - Custom: Structs and Enums
Lesson 3: Control Flow
If-Else (I/E keywords)
F check_number(n: i64) -> i64 {
result := I n > 0 {
puts("Positive")
1
} E I n < 0 {
puts("Negative")
-1
} E {
puts("Zero")
0
}
result
}
Ternary Operator
F max(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 = a > b ? a : b
Try it:
- Load "Control Flow" example
- Change the conditions
- Add more branches
Lesson 4: Loops
Range Loop (L keyword)
F print_numbers() -> i64 {
# Loop from 0 to 9
L i:0..10 {
putchar(i + 48) # Convert to ASCII
putchar(32) # Space
}
putchar(10) # Newline
0
}
While-Style Loop
F countdown() -> i64 {
counter := 10
L {
I counter <= 0 { break }
putchar(counter + 48)
putchar(32)
counter -= 1
}
0
}
Loop with Continue
F skip_evens() -> i64 {
L i:0..10 {
I i % 2 == 0 { continue }
putchar(i + 48)
}
0
}
Try it:
- Load "Loops" example
- Modify the range
- Add break/continue conditions
Lesson 5: Structs (S keyword)
# Define a struct
S Point {
x: f64,
y: f64
}
# Create and use struct
F main() -> i64 {
# Create instance
p := Point { x: 3.0, y: 4.0 }
# Access fields
x_val := p.x
y_val := p.y
0
}
Methods on Structs
S Rectangle {
width: f64,
height: f64
}
# Implement methods
I Rectangle {
F area() -> f64 {
@.width * @.height
}
F perimeter() -> f64 {
2.0 * (@.width + @.height)
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
rect := Rectangle { width: 5.0, height: 3.0 }
a := rect.area()
p := rect.perimeter()
0
}
Try it:
- Load "Struct" example
- Add more fields
- Implement additional methods
Lesson 6: Enums (E keyword)
# Define enum
E Color {
Red,
Green,
Blue,
RGB(u8, u8, u8)
}
# Use enum
F main() -> i64 {
c1 := Red
c2 := RGB(255, 128, 0)
0
}
Pattern Matching (M keyword)
E Option<T> {
Some(T),
None
}
F get_or_default(opt: Option<i64>, default: i64) -> i64 {
M opt {
Some(v) => v,
None => default
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
x := Some(42)
y := None
val1 := get_or_default(x, 0) # Returns 42
val2 := get_or_default(y, 10) # Returns 10
0
}
Try it:
- Load "Enum" example
- Add more variants
- Write match expressions
Lesson 7: Self-Recursion (@)
The @ operator calls the current function recursively:
# Traditional recursion (doesn't work in Vais)
F factorial(n: i64) -> i64 {
I n <= 1 {
1
} E {
n * factorial(n - 1) # ❌ Can't call by name
}
}
# Vais self-recursion (correct)
F factorial(n: i64) -> i64 {
I n <= 1 {
1
} E {
n * @(n - 1) # ✅ Use @ operator
}
}
# Fibonacci with self-recursion
F fib(n: i64) -> i64 = n < 2 ? n : @(n-1) + @(n-2)
# Sum from 1 to n
F sum_to_n(n: i64) -> i64 = I n <= 0 { 0 } E { n + @(n-1) }
Try it:
- Load "Self Recursion" example
- Implement more recursive functions
- Try: GCD, power, factorial
Lesson 8: Generics
# Generic function
F identity<T>(x: T) -> T = x
# Generic with constraints (future)
F max<T: Ord>(a: T, b: T) -> T = a > b ? a : b
# Use generics
F main() -> i64 {
x := identity(42) # T = i64
y := identity(3.14) # T = f64
z := identity(true) # T = bool
0
}
Generic Structs
S Box<T> {
value: T
}
F main() -> i64 {
int_box := Box { value: 42 }
float_box := Box { value: 3.14 }
0
}
Try it:
- Load "Generics" example
- Create generic functions
- Use multiple type parameters
Lesson 9: Type Inference
Vais can infer types in many contexts:
F main() -> i64 {
# Infer from literal
x := 42 # i64
y := 3.14 # f64
# Infer from function return
z := add(x, 10) # i64 from add's return
# Infer from usage
arr := [1, 2, 3] # [i64]
# Infer generic types
val := identity(x) # T = i64
0
}
F add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 = a + b
F identity<T>(x: T) -> T = x
Try it:
- Load "Type Inference" example
- Remove type annotations
- Let the compiler infer types
Lesson 10: Operators
F test_operators() -> i64 {
# Arithmetic
a := 10 + 5 # Addition
b := 10 - 5 # Subtraction
c := 10 * 5 # Multiplication
d := 10 / 5 # Division
e := 10 % 3 # Modulo
# Comparison
eq := 5 == 5 # Equal
ne := 5 != 3 # Not equal
gt := 10 > 5 # Greater than
lt := 5 < 10 # Less than
ge := 5 >= 5 # Greater or equal
le := 5 <= 10 # Less or equal
# Logical
and := true && false
or := true || false
not := !true
# Compound assignment
x := 10
x += 5 # x = x + 5
x -= 2 # x = x - 2
x *= 3 # x = x * 3
x /= 2 # x = x / 2
0
}
Try it:
- Load "Operators" example
- Try different combinations
- Check operator precedence

# Access elements
first := arr[0]
last := arr[4]
0
}
Strings
F main() -> i64 {
# String literals
greeting := "Hello, World!"

Tips and Tricks
1. Use the Examples
The provided examples cover most language features. Start with these before writing from scratch.
2. Format Regularly
Press Ctrl+S or click Format to keep your code clean and readable.
3. Read Error Messages
The compiler provides helpful error messages. Read them carefully to understand what went wrong.
4. Incremental Development
Build your program piece by piece:
- Start with a simple main function
- Add one feature at a time
- Run and test after each change
5. Use Comments
Document your code with comments, especially for complex logic:
# Calculate factorial using self-recursion
# Parameters:
# n: The number to calculate factorial for
# Returns:
# The factorial of n
F factorial(n: i64) -> i64 =
I n <= 1 { 1 } E { n * @(n-1) }
6. Keyboard Shortcuts
Learn the shortcuts to work faster:
Ctrl+Enter: Run codeCtrl+S: FormatCtrl+/: Toggle commentCtrl+Space: Auto-complete
7. Check Types
When in doubt about a type, the compiler will tell you if there's a mismatch.
8. Start Simple
Begin with simple programs and gradually add complexity.
Common Mistakes
1. Forgetting Return Value
# ❌ Wrong
F main() {
puts("Hello")
}
# ✅ Correct
F main() -> i64 {
puts("Hello")
0
}
2. Missing Type Annotations
# ❌ May not work
F add(a, b) = a + b
# ✅ Better
F add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 = a + b
3. Incorrect Recursion
# ❌ Wrong
F fib(n: i64) -> i64 = n < 2 ? n : fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)
# ✅ Correct
F fib(n: i64) -> i64 = n < 2 ? n : @(n-1) + @(n-2)
4. Mismatched Braces
# ❌ Wrong
F main() -> i64 {
I true {
puts("Test")
# Missing closing brace!
0
}
# ✅ Correct
F main() -> i64 {
I true {
puts("Test")
}
0
}

WASM Integration Guide
This guide explains how to integrate the actual Vais compiler (vaisc) with the playground using WebAssembly.
Overview
The playground currently uses a mock compiler for demonstration. To enable real compilation:
- Compile
vaiscto WASM target - Create JavaScript bindings
- Load and initialize the WASM module
- Update the compiler interface
Step 1: Compile vaisc to WASM
Prerequisites
# Install wasm32 target
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
# Install wasm-bindgen CLI
cargo install wasm-bindgen-cli
Build Configuration
Create a new crate for WASM bindings:
cd ../crates
cargo new vais-wasm --lib
Edit crates/vais-wasm/Cargo.toml:
[package]
name = "vais-wasm"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"
[lib]
crate-type = ["cdylib"]
[dependencies]
wasm-bindgen = "0.2"
vais-lexer = { path = "../vais-lexer" }
vais-parser = { path = "../vais-parser" }
vais-types = { path = "../vais-types" }
vais-codegen = { path = "../vais-codegen" }
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
serde-wasm-bindgen = "0.6"

message: String,
}
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize)]
pub struct CompileWarning {
line: usize,
column: usize,
message: String,
}
#[wasm_bindgen]
pub fn compile_vais(source: &str) -> JsValue {
let result = compile_vais_internal(source);
serde_wasm_bindgen::to_value(&result).unwrap()
}
fn compile_vais_internal(source: &str) -> CompileResult {
// Tokenize
let tokens = match vais_lexer::tokenize(source) {
Ok(t) => t,
Err(e) => {
return CompileResult {
success: false,
ir: None,
errors: vec![CompileError {
line: 0,
column: 0,
message: format!("Lexer error: {}", e),
}],
warnings: vec![],
};
}
};
// Parse
let ast = match vais_parser::parse(source) {
Ok(a) => a,
Err(e) => {
return CompileResult {
success: false,
ir: None,
errors: vec![CompileError {
line: 0,
column: 0,
message: format!("Parse error: {}", e),
}],

pub fn init() {
// Initialize panic hook for better error messages
#[cfg(feature = "console_error_panic_hook")]
console_error_panic_hook::set_once();
}
Build WASM Module
cd crates/vais-wasm
wasm-pack build --target web --out-dir ../../playground/public/wasm
Step 2: Update JavaScript Compiler Interface
Modify src/compiler.js:
import init, { compile_vais } from '../public/wasm/vais_wasm.js';
export class VaisCompiler {
constructor() {
this.isReady = false;
this.wasmModule = null;
}
async initialize() {
try {
// Initialize WASM module
this.wasmModule = await init();
this.isReady = true;
return true;
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to initialize WASM:', error);
throw new Error('WASM initialization failed: ' + error.message);
}
}
async compile(sourceCode) {
if (!this.isReady) {
await this.initialize();
}
try {
// Call WASM compile function
const result = compile_vais(sourceCode);
return result;
} catch (error) {
return {
success: false,
errors: [{
line: 0,
column: 0,
message: `Compilation error: ${error.message}`
}],
warnings: [],
ir: null
};
}
}
// ... rest of the methods
}
Step 3: Execution Engine
For executing compiled code, you have two options:
Option A: Compile to WASM and Execute
- Modify the compiler to generate WASM directly (instead of LLVM IR)
- Load the generated WASM module
- Execute the exported functions
Option B: LLVM IR Interpreter
- Use an LLVM IR interpreter written in JavaScript/WASM
- Feed the generated IR to the interpreter
- Capture stdout/stderr
Option C: Server-Side Execution
- Send the code to a backend server
- Compile and execute on the server
- Return the output to the frontend
Example server setup:
// In compiler.js
async executeOnServer(sourceCode) {
try {
const response = await fetch('/api/compile', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({ code: sourceCode })
});
const result = await response.json();
return result;
} catch (error) {
return {
success: false,
output: null,
error: error.message
};
}
}
Step 4: Testing
# Test WASM build
cd crates/vais-wasm
wasm-pack test --node
# Test in browser
cd ../../playground
npm run dev
Performance Considerations
- Lazy Loading: Load WASM module only when needed
- Worker Threads: Run compilation in a Web Worker
- Caching: Cache compiled modules
- Streaming: Use streaming compilation for large files
Worker Implementation
Create src/compiler.worker.js:
import init, { compile_vais } from '../public/wasm/vais_wasm.js';
let initialized = false;
self.onmessage = async function(e) {
const { id, type, data } = e.data;
if (type === 'init') {
try {
await init();
initialized = true;
self.postMessage({ id, type: 'init', success: true });
} catch (error) {
self.postMessage({ id, type: 'init', success: false, error: error.message });
}
}
if (type === 'compile') {
if (!initialized) {
self.postMessage({ id, type: 'compile', success: false, error: 'Not initialized' });
return;
}
try {
const result = compile_vais(data.source);
self.postMessage({ id, type: 'compile', result });
} catch (error) {
self.postMessage({ id, type: 'compile', success: false, error: error.message });
}
}
};
Update src/compiler.js:
export class VaisCompiler {
constructor() {
this.worker = new Worker(new URL('./compiler.worker.js', import.meta.url), {
type: 'module'
});
this.requestId = 0;
this.pending = new Map();
this.worker.onmessage = (e) => {
const { id, type, result, error } = e.data;
const resolve = this.pending.get(id);
if (resolve) {
if (error) {
resolve({ success: false, error });
} else {
resolve(result);
}
this.pending.delete(id);
}
};
}
async initialize() {
return new Promise((resolve) => {
const id = this.requestId++;
this.pending.set(id, resolve);
this.worker.postMessage({ id, type: 'init' });
});
}
async compile(sourceCode) {
return new Promise((resolve) => {
const id = this.requestId++;
this.pending.set(id, resolve);
this.worker.postMessage({
id,
type: 'compile',
data: { source: sourceCode }
});
});
}
}
Debugging
Enable Debug Output
// In lib.rs
#[wasm_bindgen]
pub fn set_debug_mode(enabled: bool) {
// Enable verbose logging
}
Console Logging
use web_sys::console;
#[wasm_bindgen]
extern "C" {
#[wasm_bindgen(js_namespace = console)]
fn log(s: &str);
}
// Usage
log(&format!("Compiling: {} lines", source.lines().count()));
Deployment
Build for Production
# Build WASM with optimizations
cd crates/vais-wasm
wasm-pack build --target web --release --out-dir ../../playground/public/wasm
# Optimize WASM binary
wasm-opt -Oz -o vais_wasm_bg.wasm.opt vais_wasm_bg.wasm
# Build playground
cd ../../playground
npm run build
Size Optimization
Add to Cargo.toml:
[profile.release]
opt-level = "z"
lto = true
codegen-units = 1
panic = "abort"
strip = true
CDN Hosting
Upload WASM files to a CDN for faster loading:
// In compiler.js
const WASM_URL = 'https://cdn.example.com/vais_wasm_bg.wasm';
async initialize() {
const response = await fetch(WASM_URL);
const bytes = await response.arrayBuffer();
this.wasmModule = await init(bytes);
}
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
- WASM not loading: Check MIME type is
application/wasm - Import errors: Ensure wasm-bindgen versions match
- Memory issues: Increase WASM memory limit
- CORS errors: Configure server headers correctly
Browser Console
// Check WASM support
console.log('WASM support:', typeof WebAssembly !== 'undefined');
// Log module size
fetch('/wasm/vais_wasm_bg.wasm')
.then(r => r.arrayBuffer())
.then(b => console.log('WASM size:', (b.byteLength / 1024).toFixed(2), 'KB'));

let answer = 42;
Then check it:
>>> check my_solution.vais
Inline Verification
>>> verify let answer = 42;
Progress Tracking
Progress is automatically saved to ~/.vais_tutorial_progress.json. This includes:
- Completed lessons
- Current chapter and lesson position
- Number of hints used per lesson
Programmatic Usage
Using Tutorial API
use vais_tutorial::Tutorial;
// Create a new tutorial
let mut tutorial = Tutorial::new();
// List chapters
tutorial.list_chapters();
// Get a lesson
if let Some(lesson) = tutorial.get_lesson(0, 0) {
println!("Lesson: {}", lesson.title);
// Validate code
let result = tutorial.validate_code(&lesson.solution, lesson);
println!("Valid: {}", result.is_ok());
}
// Track progress
tutorial.mark_lesson_complete("ch1_variables");
tutorial.save_progress().unwrap();

Hot Reloading in Vais
Hot reloading allows you to update your code while the program is running, without restarting. This is especially useful for game development, interactive applications, and rapid prototyping.
Table of Contents
- Quick Start
- How It Works
- Marking Functions for Hot Reload
- CLI Commands
- Runtime API
- Examples
- Best Practices
- Limitations
- Advanced Usage
Quick Start
1. Mark Functions as Hot-Reloadable
Add the #[hot] attribute to functions you want to reload at runtime:
#[hot]
F game_update(state: *GameState) -> i64 {
# This function can be modified while running
state.x = state.x + 1
0
}
2. Build with Hot Reload
# Compile to dynamic library
vaisc build --hot game.vais
This creates:
- macOS:
libgame.dylib - Linux:
libgame.so - Windows:
libgame.dll
3. Watch for Changes
In a separate terminal, start the watch mode:
vaisc watch game.vais
Now you can:
- Run your program
- Edit the
#[hot]function - Save the file
- The program automatically reloads the new code
How It Works
┌─────────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ ┌─────────────┐
│ FileWatcher │────▶│ Compiler │────▶│ Reloader │
│ (notify crate) │ │ (vaisc) │ │ (dylib) │
└─────────────────┘ └──────────────┘ └─────────────┘

└────────────── File change ───────────────┘

┌──────▼──────┐
│ Running │
│ Program │
└─────────────┘
Process
- Compilation: With
--hotflag, functions marked#[hot]are compiled into a shared library (dylib) - File Watching: The system monitors source files for changes
- Recompilation: When a change is detected, the source is recompiled
- Library Reload: The new dylib is loaded, replacing the old version
- Function Pointers Updated: References to hot functions are updated to point to new code
Key Features
- Automatic Detection: File system watcher detects changes instantly
- Debouncing: Multiple rapid saves are batched to avoid excessive recompilation
- Version Management: Old dylib versions are cleaned up automatically
- State Preservation: Program state (variables, memory) is preserved across reloads
Marking Functions for Hot Reload
Syntax
#[hot]
F function_name(params) -> return_type {
# Function body
}
What Can Be Hot-Reloaded
✅ Supported:
- Function logic
- Control flow (if, loops, etc.)
- Calculations and expressions
- Function calls
- External function calls
❌ Not Supported:
- Function signatures (parameters, return type)
- Struct definitions
- Global variables
- Constants
Example
S GameState {
x: i64,
y: i64,
score: i64,
}
# Hot-reloadable update function
#[hot]
F update_game(state: *GameState, dt: f64) -> i64 {
# You can modify this logic while running
state.x = state.x + (10.0 * dt) as i64
state.y = state.y + (5.0 * dt) as i64
# Try changing the scoring logic!
I state.x > 100 {
state.score = state.score + 10
}
0
}
# Hot-reloadable render function
#[hot]
F render_game(state: *GameState) -> i64 {
# Try changing the display format!
printf("Position: (%d, %d) Score: %d\n",
state.x, state.y, state.score)
0
}
# Main loop - not hot-reloadable (holds state)
F main() -> i64 {
state := GameState { x: 0, y: 0, score: 0 }
L true {
update_game(&state, 0.016)
render_game(&state)
usleep(16666) # ~60 FPS
}
0
}

0
}
F main() -> i64 {
hot_start("./game.vais")
hot_loop(game_update)
0
}
Examples
Simple Example
# examples/hot_reload_simple.vais
S GameState {
frame: i64,
x: i64,
y: i64,
}
#[hot]
F game_update(state: *GameState) -> i64 {
state.frame = state.frame + 1
state.x = state.x + 1
state.y = state.y + 2
printf("Frame %d: x=%d, y=%d\n", state.frame, state.x, state.y)
0
}
@[extern "C"]
F printf(fmt: *i8, ...) -> i64
@[extern "C"]
F usleep(usec: i64) -> i64
F main() -> i64 {
state := GameState { frame: 0, x: 0, y: 0 }
printf("Hot Reload Example - Try modifying game_update!\n\n")
L state.frame < 1000 {
game_update(&state)
usleep(16666) # ~60 FPS
}
0
}
Advanced Example
See examples/hot_reload_advanced.vais for:
- Multiple hot functions
- Particle system simulation
- Physics updates
- Rendering
Best Practices
1. Separate Logic from State
Keep state in the main function, logic in hot functions:
# ✅ Good: State in main, logic hot-reloadable
F main() -> i64 {
state := GameState { ... }
L true {
update_logic(&state) # Hot-reloadable
}
}
#[hot]
F update_logic(state: *GameState) -> i64 {
# All logic here
}
# ❌ Bad: State in hot function
#[hot]
F update() -> i64 {
G state: GameState # State lost on reload!
# ...
}
2. Keep Function Signatures Stable
Don't change parameters or return types:
# ✅ Good: Same signature
#[hot]
F update(state: *GameState) -> i64 {
# Logic can change
}
# Later...
#[hot]
F update(state: *GameState) -> i64 {
# Different logic, same signature
}
# ❌ Bad: Changed signature
#[hot]
F update(state: *GameState) -> i64 { ... }
# Later...
#[hot]
F update(state: *GameState, delta: f64) -> i64 { # Breaks!
3. Use Small, Focused Functions
Smaller functions reload faster and are easier to debug:
# ✅ Good: Focused functions
#[hot]
F update_physics(state: *GameState) -> i64 { ... }
#[hot]
F update_ai(state: *GameState) -> i64 { ... }
#[hot]
F render(state: *GameState) -> i64 { ... }
4. Handle Errors Gracefully
Check return values from hot functions:
result := game_update(&state)
I result != 0 {
printf("Error in game_update: %d\n", result)
}
5. Test Before Deploying
Use watch mode during development:
# Terminal 1: Watch and recompile
vaisc watch game.vais
# Terminal 2: Run game
./game
Limitations
Technical Limitations
- Function Signatures: Cannot change parameters or return types
- Data Structures: Cannot modify struct/enum definitions while running
- Global State: Global variables are not preserved across reloads
- Platform Dependencies: Some platforms may lock loaded libraries
Performance Considerations
- Compilation Time: Large files take longer to recompile
- Reload Overhead: Each reload has a small performance cost (~1-10ms)
- Memory: Multiple versions use more memory (cleaned up automatically)
Debugging
- Reloaded code may have different line numbers
- Breakpoints may need to be reset
- Stack traces may show old version numbers
Advanced Usage
Custom Reload Callbacks
// Using the Rust API
use vais_hotreload::{HotReloader, HotReloadConfig};
let mut reloader = HotReloader::new(config)?;
reloader.set_reload_callback(|path, version| {
println!("Reloaded {} (v{})", path.display(), version);
// Custom logic: clear caches, reset state, etc.
});
Multiple Source Files
Watch multiple files:
vaisc watch game.vais &
vaisc watch renderer.vais &
Configuration
let config = HotReloadConfig::new("game.vais")
.with_debounce(200) // Debounce in ms
.with_compiler_args(vec![
"-O2".to_string(),
"-g".to_string(),
])
.with_verbose(true);
Integration with Build Systems
# Makefile
watch:
vaisc watch src/main.vais --exec ./build/game
# Shell script
#!/bin/bash
vaisc build --hot src/*.vais
vaisc watch src/main.vais &
./game
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Q: Changes not detected
- Check file watcher is running
- Verify file permissions
- Check debounce timing
Q: Compilation errors
- Syntax errors in hot function
- Invalid function signature change
- Missing dependencies
Q: Crash on reload
- Function signature changed
- Invalid memory access
- Null pointer in hot function
Q: Performance degradation
- Too many hot functions
- Large compilation times
- Memory leak in reload cycle
Debug Mode
# Verbose output
vaisc build --hot -g game.vais
# Watch with verbose
vaisc watch game.vais --verbose
Resources
Future Enhancements
Planned features:
- State serialization/deserialization
- Multi-threaded hot reload
- Remote hot reload (network)
- IDE integration
- Visual Studio Code extension
- Hot reload profiling tools

Test Coverage Guide
This document describes how to measure and track test coverage for the Vais project.
Overview
The Vais project uses cargo-tarpaulin for measuring test coverage. Tarpaulin is a code coverage tool that works with Rust projects and provides multiple output formats:
- HTML - Interactive web-based coverage report
- Lcov - Standard coverage format compatible with codecov and other CI/CD tools
- Stdout - Console output for quick checks
Configuration
tarpaulin.toml
The main configuration file is /tarpaulin.toml at the project root. Key settings:
# Output formats
out = ["Stdout", "Html", "Lcov"]
# Output directory
output-dir = "target/coverage"
# Excluded files/packages
exclude-files = ["benches/*", "examples/*", "tests/*"]
exclude = ["vais-benches"]
# Enable parallel execution for faster runs (disabled for stability)
parallel = false
# Fail if coverage falls below threshold
# Goal: 80%+ code coverage for production quality
fail-under = 80
.cargo/config.toml
Convenient cargo aliases are configured in .cargo/config.toml:
# Generate coverage with all formats
cargo coverage
# Generate HTML only
cargo coverage-html
# Generate Lcov only
cargo coverage-lcov
Local Coverage Measurement
Prerequisites
Install cargo-tarpaulin:
cargo install cargo-tarpaulin
Generate Coverage Reports
Using the convenience script:
# Generate all reports (HTML + Lcov)
./scripts/coverage.sh all
# Generate HTML only
./scripts/coverage.sh html
# Generate Lcov only
./scripts/coverage.sh lcov
# View HTML report in browser
./scripts/coverage.sh view
# Clean up coverage files
./scripts/coverage.sh clean
Using cargo aliases directly:

CI/CD Integration
GitHub Actions
Coverage is automatically measured in the CI pipeline:
coverage:
name: Test Coverage
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: dtolnay/rust-toolchain@stable
- run: cargo install cargo-tarpaulin
- name: Generate reports
run: cargo tarpaulin --config tarpaulin.toml --out Html --out Lcov --output-dir target/coverage
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
with:
name: coverage-reports
path: target/coverage/
- uses: codecov/codecov-action@v3
with:
files: ./target/coverage/lcov.info
Codecov Integration
The project is configured to automatically upload coverage reports to codecov.io:
- Get your repository token from codecov.io
- Add to GitHub secrets as
CODECOV_TOKEN - The CI workflow automatically uploads coverage reports in multiple formats
- View trends at:
https://codecov.io/gh/vaislang/vais
The CI coverage job includes:
- Automated coverage generation with HTML, Lcov, and JSON formats
- Coverage summary display in workflow logs
- Artifact upload for historical tracking
- Codecov integration for trend analysis
- PR comments with coverage metrics (when applicable)
Coverage Targets and Thresholds
Current Target: 80%+
The Vais project targets 80% or higher code coverage for production quality. This threshold is configured in tarpaulin.toml:
# In tarpaulin.toml
fail-under = 80 # Fail if coverage drops below 80%
Setting Custom Thresholds
Override via command line:
# Different threshold
cargo tarpaulin --fail-under 70
# No minimum (warning only)
cargo tarpaulin --fail-under 0
Coverage Goals by Module
Recommended coverage targets:
- Core modules (lexer, parser, codegen): 90%+
- Utility modules (types, AST): 85%+
- Experimental features (GPU, hotreload): 70%+
- Server/UI components: 60%+
Performance Considerations
Measurement Overhead
Coverage measurement adds overhead:
- Time: 2-3x slower than regular test runs
- Memory: Slightly higher memory usage
- I/O: Writes coverage data during execution
Optimization Tips
-
Parallel execution (when supported):
cargo tarpaulin --parallel -
Specific packages:
cargo tarpaulin -p vais-lexer -
Exclude unnecessary code:
- Examples:
exclude-files = ["examples/*"] - Benchmarks:
exclude = ["vais-benches"]
- Examples:
-
Release builds (faster):
cargo tarpaulin --release
Troubleshooting
"No coverage data generated"
Problem: Tarpaulin runs but generates no coverage files.
Solutions:
- Ensure LLVM is installed:
llvm-config --version - Check tarpaulin compatibility:
cargo install cargo-tarpaulin --force - Try with specific package:
cargo tarpaulin -p vais-lexer
"Tests fail during coverage measurement"
Problem: Tests pass normally but fail under coverage.
Solutions:
- Set
ignore-panics = truein tarpaulin.toml - Use
ignore-tests = falseto verify test detection - Check for tests that depend on specific timing or environment
"Coverage report is incomplete"
Problem: Some files missing from coverage report.
Solutions:
- Verify files contain tests or are called by tests
- Check exclude patterns in tarpaulin.toml
- Use
--allflag to include all code
Best Practices
- Measure regularly - Run coverage before major releases
- Track trends - Use codecov to monitor coverage over time
- Meet the 80% target - Project-wide coverage goal for production readiness
- Focus on critical paths - Prioritize testing business logic and core functionality
- Document uncovered code - Use comments to explain intentional gaps
- Review coverage reports - Check CI artifacts for detailed HTML reports
- Monitor PR coverage - CI automatically comments on PRs with coverage metrics
- Use the coverage profile - Optimized build profile for coverage measurement

패키지 매니저
Vais는 vaisc CLI에 통합된 강력한 패키지 매니저를 제공합니다. 의존성 관리, 버전 해결, 워크스페이스 지원 등 현대적인 언어 생태계에 필요한 모든 기능을 갖추고 있습니다.
개요
Vais 패키지 매니저는 다음 기능을 제공합니다:
- 프로젝트 초기화 (
vais init) — 새 프로젝트 생성 - 의존성 설치 (
vais install) — path/레지스트리 의존성 자동 해결 - 패키지 배포 (
vais publish) — 레지스트리에 패키지 게시 - SemVer 관리 — caret/tilde 버전 범위, 충돌 감지
- 워크스페이스 — 멀티 크레이트 프로젝트 지원
- Lockfile — 재현 가능한 빌드 보장
- 문서 생성 — Markdown/HTML 자동 생성
패키지 레지스트리는 Axum과 SQLite 기반으로 구현되어 있습니다.
프로젝트 생성
새 프로젝트 초기화
# 바이너리 프로젝트 생성
vais init my-app
# 라이브러리 프로젝트 생성
vais init my-lib --template lib
# 현재 디렉토리에 초기화
vais init
디렉토리 구조
프로젝트 초기화 후 다음과 같은 구조가 생성됩니다:
my-app/
├── Vais.toml # 매니페스트 파일
├── src/
│ └── main.vais # 진입점 (바이너리)
│ └── lib.vais # 진입점 (라이브러리)
└── .gitignore # Git 무시 파일
Vais.toml 매니페스트
프로젝트 설정은 Vais.toml 파일에 정의됩니다:
[package]
name = "my-app"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["Your Name <your@email.com>"]
edition = "2024"
description = "A Vais application"
license = "MIT"
repository = "https://github.com/username/my-app"
[dependencies]
# 의존성 목록
[dev-dependencies]
# 개발 전용 의존성
[[bin]]
name = "my-app"
path = "src/main.vais"
[lib]
name = "my-lib"
path = "src/lib.vais"
템플릿
두 가지 템플릿을 제공합니다:
- bin (기본값) — 실행 가능한 바이너리 프로젝트
- lib — 라이브러리 프로젝트
라이브러리는 다른 프로젝트에서 의존성으로 사용할 수 있습니다.
의존성 관리
의존성 추가
Vais.toml의 [dependencies] 섹션에 의존성을 추가합니다:
[dependencies]
# 레지스트리 의존성 (SemVer 버전)
vais-json = "0.1.0"
vais-regex = "^0.2.0" # >= 0.2.0, < 0.3.0
vais-uuid = "~0.1.5" # >= 0.1.5, < 0.2.0
# path 의존성 (로컬 개발)
my-utils = { path = "../my-utils" }
# Git 의존성
vais-http = { git = "https://github.com/vaislang/vais-http", branch = "main" }
SemVer 버전 관리
Vais는 Semantic Versioning 2.0을 따릅니다:
- 정확한 버전:
"0.1.0"— 정확히 0.1.0 - Caret 요구사항:
"^0.1.0"— >= 0.1.0, < 0.2.0 (major 0일 때는 minor 고정) - Tilde 요구사항:
"~0.1.5"— >= 0.1.5, < 0.2.0 (patch만 업데이트) - 와일드카드:
"0.1.*"— 0.1.x의 모든 버전
Path 의존성
로컬 개발 시 path 의존성을 사용합니다:
[dependencies]
shared = { path = "../shared" }
이는 monorepo 환경이나 워크스페이스에서 유용합니다.
패키지 설치
의존성 설치
# Vais.toml의 모든 의존성 설치
vais install
# 특정 패키지 추가 및 설치
vais install vais-json
# 개발 의존성 포함 설치
vais install --dev
의존성 해결 알고리즘
Vais 패키지 매니저는 다음 알고리즘을 사용합니다:
- 전이적 의존성 수집 — 모든 직간접 의존성 탐색
- SemVer 제약 해결 — 버전 범위 충돌 감지 및 해결
- 다이아몬드 의존성 처리 — 공통 의존성의 최적 버전 선택
예시:
my-app
├── pkg-a ^1.2.0
│ └── pkg-c ^2.0.0
└── pkg-b ~1.5.0
└── pkg-c ~2.3.0
이 경우 pkg-c의 버전은 2.3.x 범위에서 선택됩니다 (두 제약 모두 만족).
충돌 감지
호환되지 않는 버전 요구사항이 있을 경우 컴파일 에러가 발생합니다:
Error: Version conflict detected
pkg-a requires pkg-c ^2.0.0
pkg-b requires pkg-c ^3.0.0
No version satisfies both constraints
Lockfile
Vais.lock 파일
vais install 실행 시 Vais.lock 파일이 생성됩니다:
# This file is automatically generated by Vais package manager.
# Do not edit manually.
[[package]]
name = "vais-json"
version = "0.1.2"
source = "registry+https://registry.vaislang.org"
checksum = "a3f2b..."
[[package]]
name = "my-utils"
version = "0.1.0"
source = "path+../my-utils"
[[package]]
name = "my-app"
version = "0.1.0"
dependencies = [
"vais-json 0.1.2",
"my-utils 0.1.0"
]
결정적 직렬화
Lockfile은 다음을 보장합니다:
- 재현 가능한 빌드 — 동일한 의존성 버전으로 빌드
- 체크섬 검증 — 패키지 무결성 확인
- 알파벳 순 정렬 — Git diff 친화적
버전 관리
Lockfile은 반드시 버전 관리에 포함시켜야 합니다:
git add Vais.lock
git commit -m "Update dependencies"
워크스페이스
멀티 크레이트 프로젝트
여러 패키지를 하나의 저장소에서 관리할 수 있습니다:
my-workspace/
├── Vais.toml # 워크스페이스 루트
├── app/
│ ├── Vais.toml
│ └── src/main.vais
├── lib/
│ ├── Vais.toml
│ └── src/lib.vais
└── utils/
├── Vais.toml
└── src/lib.vais
워크스페이스 설정
루트 Vais.toml에 워크스페이스 정의:
[workspace]
members = [
"app",
"lib",
"utils"
]
# 공통 의존성 (모든 멤버에 적용)
[workspace.dependencies]
vais-json = "0.1.0"
멤버 간 의존성
워크스페이스 멤버는 서로를 path 의존성으로 사용할 수 있습니다:
# app/Vais.toml
[dependencies]
lib = { path = "../lib" }
utils = { path = "../utils" }
워크스페이스 빌드
# 모든 멤버 빌드
vais build --workspace
# 특정 멤버만 빌드
vais build -p app
# 모든 멤버 테스트
vais test --workspace
패키지 배포
레지스트리 계정 설정
패키지를 배포하려면 레지스트리 계정이 필요합니다:
# 레지스트리 로그인
vais login
# API 토큰 설정
vais config set registry.token <YOUR_TOKEN>
배포 절차
# 배포 전 검증
vais publish --dry-run
# 패키지 배포
vais publish
배포 시 다음 검증이 수행됩니다:
- Vais.toml 필수 필드 확인 (name, version, description, license)
- 테스트 실행 (
cargo test) - 문서 생성 확인
배포 요청 구조
vais publish는 다음 형식으로 패키지를 아카이브합니다:
{
"name": "my-package",
"version": "0.1.0",
"description": "My Vais package",
"tarball": "<base64-encoded .tar.gz>"
}
버전 관리 모범 사례
- Breaking changes — major 버전 증가 (1.0.0 → 2.0.0)
- New features — minor 버전 증가 (1.0.0 → 1.1.0)
- Bug fixes — patch 버전 증가 (1.0.0 → 1.0.1)
- 0.x.y 버전 — 불안정 API, 언제든 변경 가능
문서 생성
Markdown 문서
소스 코드에서 자동으로 문서를 생성합니다:
# Markdown 문서 생성
vais doc --format markdown
# HTML 문서 생성 (기본값)
vais doc
# 출력 디렉토리 지정
vais doc --output ./docs
문서화 주석
Vais는 특수 주석으로 문서를 작성합니다:
# Adds two numbers together.
#
# ## Arguments
# - `a` — first operand
# - `b` — second operand
#
# ## Returns
# The sum of a and b
#
# ## Example
# ```vais
# result := add(5, 3)
# # result == 8
# ```
P F add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 {
R a + b
}
생성된 문서는 함수 시그니처, 설명, 예제를 포함합니다.
HTML 문서
HTML 문서는 다음 구조로 생성됩니다:
target/doc/
├── index.html
├── my-package/
│ ├── index.html
│ ├── fn.add.html
│ └── struct.MyStruct.html
└── static/
├── main.css
└── main.js

vais-uuid = "0.1.0"
U json::{parse, stringify}
U uuid::v4
F main() {
# JSON 파싱
data := parse(~{"name": "Vais", "version": 1})!
# UUID 생성

# 카테고리로 필터링
vais search --category crypto
보안 감사
# 의존성 보안 취약점 검사
vais audit
# 자세한 보고서 출력
vais audit --verbose
캐시 관리
# 캐시 상태 확인
vais cache info
# 캐시 정리
vais cache clean
# 특정 패키지 캐시 제거
vais cache remove vais-json
의존성 트리

의존성 해결 실패
Error: Could not resolve dependencies
Conflicting versions for pkg-x
해결책: Vais.toml에서 버전 제약을 완화하거나 Vais.lock 삭제 후 재설치
Lockfile 불일치
Error: Vais.lock is out of sync with Vais.toml
해결책:
rm Vais.lock
vais install
레지스트리 연결 실패
Error: Failed to connect to registry
해결책: 네트워크 연결 확인 또는 프록시 설정
vais config set http.proxy http://proxy.example.com:8080

FFI User Guide
Introduction
This guide will help you use the Vais Foreign Function Interface (FFI) to call C and C++ code from your Vais programs.
Table of Contents
- Getting Started
- Basic FFI
- Type Mappings
- Working with Structs
- Pointers and Memory
- Callbacks
- Linking Libraries
- Using Bindgen
- C++ Interop
- Best Practices
Getting Started
Your First FFI Call
Let's call the C strlen function:
# Declare the external function
extern F strlen(s: *i8) -> u64
F main() -> i64 {
text := "Hello, FFI!"
length := strlen(text)
printf("String length: %llu\n", length)
0
}
Compile and run:
vaisc build example.vais
./example
# Output: String length: 11
Basic FFI
Declaring External Functions
Use the extern keyword:
extern F function_name(param1: Type1, param2: Type2) -> ReturnType
Example with multiple parameters:
extern F memcpy(dest: *void, src: *void, n: u64) -> *void
F main() -> i64 {
src := "Hello"
dest := malloc(6)
memcpy(dest, src, 6)
printf("%s\n", dest)
free(dest)
0
}
Variadic Functions
Functions like printf that take variable arguments:
extern F printf(format: *i8, ...) -> i64
extern F sprintf(buffer: *i8, format: *i8, ...) -> i64
F main() -> i64 {
printf("Integer: %d, Float: %f, String: %s\n", 42, 3.14, "test")
0
}
Type Mappings
Primitive Types
| Vais Type | C Type | Size |
|---|---|---|
| i8 | int8_t | 1 byte |
| i16 | int16_t | 2 bytes |
| i32 | int32_t | 4 bytes |
| i64 | int64_t | 8 bytes |
| u8 | uint8_t | 1 byte |
| u16 | uint16_t | 2 bytes |
| u32 | uint32_t | 4 bytes |
| u64 | uint64_t | 8 bytes |
| f32 | float | 4 bytes |
| f64 | double | 8 bytes |
| bool | bool | 1 byte |
| *T | T* | 8 bytes (64-bit) |
Special Types
*i8- C string (char*)*void- Generic pointer (void*)fn(...)- Function pointer
Working with Structs
Compatible Struct Layout
Vais structs are compatible with C structs:
C header (point.h):
struct Point {
double x;
double y;
};
double distance(struct Point* p1, struct Point* p2);
Vais code:
S Point {
x: f64,
y: f64,
}
extern F distance(p1: *Point, p2: *Point) -> f64
F main() -> i64 {
p1 := Point { x: 0.0, y: 0.0 }
p2 := Point { x: 3.0, y: 4.0 }
d := distance(&p1, &p2)
printf("Distance: %f\n", d)
0
}
Nested Structs
S Vec2 {
x: f64,
y: f64,
}
S Entity {
position: Vec2,
velocity: Vec2,
id: i32,
}
extern F update_entity(e: *Entity, dt: f64) -> void
Pointers and Memory
Allocating Memory
Use C's memory allocation functions:
extern F malloc(size: u64) -> *void
extern F free(ptr: *void) -> void
extern F calloc(count: u64, size: u64) -> *void
extern F realloc(ptr: *void, size: u64) -> *void
F allocate_array(size: i64) -> *i64 {
malloc(size * 8) # 8 bytes per i64
}
F main() -> i64 {
arr := allocate_array(10)
# Use array...
free(arr)
0
}
Null Pointer Checks
Always check for null:
F safe_malloc(size: u64) -> *void {
ptr := malloc(size)
I ptr == null {
printf("ERROR: Out of memory!\n")
exit(1)
}
ptr
}
Pointer Arithmetic
F iterate_array(arr: *i64, len: i64) -> i64 {
i := 0
L i < len {
# Access element
value := *(arr + i)
printf("%d\n", value)
i = i + 1
}
0
}
Callbacks
Passing Vais Functions to C
Example with qsort:
# Comparison function
F compare_ints(a: *void, b: *void) -> i32 {
x := *(a as *i32)
y := *(b as *i32)
I x < y { R -1 }
I x > y { R 1 }
0
}
extern F qsort(base: *void, num: u64, size: u64,
compar: fn(*void, *void) -> i32) -> void
F main() -> i64 {
arr := [5, 2, 8, 1, 9]
qsort(&arr, 5, 4, compare_ints)
# Array is now sorted
i := 0
L i < 5 {
printf("%d ", arr[i])
i = i + 1
}
0
}
Function Pointers
# Type alias for clarity
type Callback = fn(i32) -> void
extern F register_callback(cb: Callback) -> void
F my_callback(value: i32) -> void {
printf("Callback called with: %d\n", value)
}
F main() -> i64 {
register_callback(my_callback)
0
}
Linking Libraries
Standard Libraries
Link with common libraries:
# Math library
vaisc build program.vais -l m
# Threads
vaisc build program.vais -l pthread
# Multiple libraries
vaisc build program.vais -l m -l pthread -l ssl
Custom Libraries
Specify library search paths:
vaisc build program.vais -L /usr/local/lib -l mylib
Static vs Dynamic
# Prefer static linking
vaisc build program.vais -l mylib --static
# Force dynamic linking
vaisc build program.vais -l mylib --dynamic
Using Bindgen
Automatic Binding Generation
Generate Vais bindings from C headers:
vaisc bindgen mylib.h -o mylib.vais
Example
C header (graphics.h):
typedef struct {
int x, y, width, height;
} Rectangle;
void draw_rectangle(Rectangle* rect);
int get_screen_width(void);
Generate bindings:
vaisc bindgen graphics.h -o graphics_bindings.vais
Generated code:
S Rectangle {
x: i32,
y: i32,
width: i32,
height: i32,
}
extern F draw_rectangle(rect: *Rectangle) -> void
extern F get_screen_width() -> i32
Use in your code:
U graphics_bindings
F main() -> i64 {
rect := Rectangle { x: 10, y: 20, width: 100, height: 50 }
draw_rectangle(&rect)
width := get_screen_width()
printf("Screen width: %d\n", width)
0
}
See crates/vais-bindgen/README.md for advanced options.
C++ Interop
Calling C++ Functions
Use bindgen for automatic name mangling:
vaisc bindgen mycpp.hpp -o mycpp.vais --cpp
Or manually specify mangled names:
# C++ function: void process(int x);
extern F _Z7processi(x: i32) -> void
F main() -> i64 {
_Z7processi(42)
0
}
See crates/vais-bindgen/CPP_SUPPORT.md for details.
Best Practices
1. Check Return Values
F safe_file_open(path: *i8) -> *void {
file := fopen(path, "r")
I file == null {
printf("ERROR: Could not open %s\n", path)
exit(1)
}
file
}
2. Always Free Allocated Memory
F process_data() -> i64 {
buffer := malloc(1024)
I buffer == null {
R -1
}
# Process data...
free(buffer) # Don't forget!
0
}
3. Use Safe Wrappers
# Unsafe direct FFI
extern F strcpy(dest: *i8, src: *i8) -> *i8
# Safe wrapper
F safe_strcpy(dest: *i8, src: *i8, max_len: u64) -> i64 {
I strlen(src) >= max_len {
R -1 # Error: source too long
}
strcpy(dest, src)
0
}
4. Document FFI Functions
# Opens a file for reading.
# Returns null on error.
# Caller must call fclose() when done.
extern F fopen(path: *i8, mode: *i8) -> *void
5. Handle Platform Differences
#[unix]
extern F getpid() -> i32
#[windows]
extern F GetCurrentProcessId() -> u32
F get_process_id() -> i64 {
#[unix]
R getpid() as i64
#[windows]
R GetCurrentProcessId() as i64
}
Common Patterns
File I/O
extern F fopen(path: *i8, mode: *i8) -> *void
extern F fread(ptr: *void, size: u64, count: u64, file: *void) -> u64
extern F fclose(file: *void) -> i64
F read_file(path: *i8) -> i64 {
file := fopen(path, "r")
I file == null {
R -1
}
buffer := malloc(1024)
bytes_read := fread(buffer, 1, 1024, file)
printf("Read %llu bytes\n", bytes_read)
free(buffer)
fclose(file)
0
}
Networking
extern F socket(domain: i32, type: i32, protocol: i32) -> i32
extern F bind(sockfd: i32, addr: *void, addrlen: u32) -> i32
extern F listen(sockfd: i32, backlog: i32) -> i32
extern F accept(sockfd: i32, addr: *void, addrlen: *u32) -> i32
F create_server(port: i32) -> i32 {
sock := socket(2, 1, 0) # AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM
I sock < 0 {
R -1
}
# Setup and bind...
sock
}
Troubleshooting
Undefined Symbol Errors
If you get linker errors:
# Add library path
vaisc build program.vais -L /path/to/libs -l mylib
# Check if library is installed
pkg-config --libs mylib
Type Mismatch Errors
Ensure types match exactly:
# Wrong: i32 instead of i64
extern F my_func(x: i32) -> i64
# Correct
extern F my_func(x: i64) -> i64
Segmentation Faults
Common causes:
- Null pointer dereference
- Buffer overflow
- Freeing memory twice
- Using freed memory
Always validate pointers and bounds.

Happy coding with FFI!
FFI 기능
FFI Features
Overview
The Vais Foreign Function Interface (FFI) enables seamless interoperability with C, C++, and other languages, allowing you to call external libraries and expose Vais functions to other languages.
Core Features
1. C Function Calls
Call C functions directly from Vais code:
# Declare external C function
extern F printf(fmt: *i8, ...) -> i64
F main() -> i64 {
printf("Hello from Vais!\n")
0
}
2. Type Mapping
Automatic type conversion between Vais and C types:
| Vais Type | C Type |
|---|---|
| i8 | int8_t |
| i16 | int16_t |
| i32 | int32_t |
| i64 | int64_t |
| u8 | uint8_t |
| u16 | uint16_t |
| u32 | uint32_t |
| u64 | uint64_t |
| f32 | float |
| f64 | double |
| *T | T* |
| bool | bool |
3. Struct Interop
Pass Vais structs to C functions:
S Point {
x: f64,
y: f64,
}
extern F distance(p1: *Point, p2: *Point) -> f64
F main() -> i64 {
p1 := Point { x: 0.0, y: 0.0 }
p2 := Point { x: 3.0, y: 4.0 }
d := distance(&p1, &p2)
printf("Distance: %f\n", d)
0
}
4. Library Linking
Link with external libraries:
vaisc build program.vais -l m -l pthread
5. Callback Functions
Pass Vais functions to C as callbacks:
F compare(a: *i64, b: *i64) -> i64 {
*a - *b
}
extern F qsort(base: *void, num: u64, size: u64, cmp: fn(*void, *void) -> i64) -> void
F main() -> i64 {
arr := [5, 2, 8, 1, 9]
qsort(&arr, 5, 8, compare)
0
}
Advanced Features
1. Variable Arguments
Support for variadic functions:
extern F printf(fmt: *i8, ...) -> i64
extern F fprintf(file: *void, fmt: *i8, ...) -> i64
2. Opaque Pointers
Handle external types without knowing their layout:
extern F fopen(path: *i8, mode: *i8) -> *void
extern F fclose(file: *void) -> i64
F main() -> i64 {
f := fopen("test.txt", "r")
# Use file...
fclose(f)
0
}
3. Binding Generation
Automatically generate FFI bindings from C headers:
vaisc bindgen header.h -o bindings.vais
See crates/vais-bindgen/ for details.
4. C++ Support
Call C++ functions with name mangling support:
# C++ function: void process(int x);
extern F _Z7processi(x: i32) -> void
# Or use bindgen for automatic mangling
See crates/vais-bindgen/CPP_SUPPORT.md for details.
Standard Library FFI
The Vais standard library uses FFI extensively:
File I/O
U std/fs
F main() -> i64 {
file := fs_open("data.txt", "r")
# Uses fopen, fread, fclose internally
fs_close(file)
0
}
Networking
U std/net
F main() -> i64 {
sock := net_socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)
# Uses socket, bind, listen internally
0
}
Safety Considerations
1. Null Pointer Checks
Always validate pointers from C:
F safe_call() -> i64 {
ptr := c_function_returning_ptr()
I ptr == null {
printf("Error: null pointer\n")
R -1
}
# Use ptr safely
0
}
2. Buffer Bounds
Check buffer sizes before operations:
F safe_copy(src: *i8, dst: *i8, max: u64) -> i64 {
I strlen(src) >= max {
R -1 # Buffer too small
}
strcpy(dst, src)
0
}
3. Memory Management
Track ownership of FFI-allocated memory:
F process_data() -> i64 {
data := malloc(1024)
# Use data...
free(data) # Don't forget to free!
0
}
Platform-Specific FFI
Windows
#[windows]
extern F GetCurrentProcessId() -> u32
F main() -> i64 {
pid := GetCurrentProcessId()
printf("PID: %u\n", pid)
0
}
POSIX
#[unix]
extern F getpid() -> i32
F main() -> i64 {
pid := getpid()
printf("PID: %d\n", pid)
0
}

Vais Language Bindings
This document provides an overview of the Python and Node.js bindings for the Vais compiler.
Overview
The Vais compiler now provides native bindings for both Python and Node.js, allowing developers to integrate Vais compilation capabilities into their Python and JavaScript/TypeScript projects.
Crates
vais-python (crates/vais-python/)
Python bindings using PyO3, providing a native Python module for compiling, checking, parsing, and tokenizing Vais source code.
Technology: PyO3 0.22+
Key Features:
- Native Python extension (compiled to
.so/.pyd) - Full access to Vais compiler pipeline
- Pythonic error handling
- Type-safe Python classes for errors and tokens
vais-node (crates/vais-node/)
Node.js bindings using napi-rs, providing a native Node.js addon for compiling, checking, parsing, and tokenizing Vais source code.
Technology: napi-rs 2.16+
Key Features:
- Native Node.js addon (compiled to
.node) - Full access to Vais compiler pipeline
- JavaScript-friendly error handling
- TypeScript type definitions available
API Comparison
| Feature | Python | Node.js |
|---|---|---|
| Compile to LLVM IR | compile(source, opt_level, module_name, target) | compile(source, options) |
| Type Check | check(source) | check(source) |
| Parse to AST | parse(source) | parse(source) |
| Tokenize | tokenize(source) | tokenize(source) |
Common Functionality
Both bindings expose the same core functionality:
- Tokenization - Break source code into tokens
- Parsing - Convert source code into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST)
- Type Checking - Validate type correctness
- Code Generation - Compile to LLVM IR with optimization support
Building
Python Bindings
# Development build (requires Python interpreter)
PYO3_USE_ABI3_FORWARD_COMPATIBILITY=1 cargo build -p vais-python
# Check compilation without linking
PYO3_USE_ABI3_FORWARD_COMPATIBILITY=1 cargo check -p vais-python
# Release build
PYO3_USE_ABI3_FORWARD_COMPATIBILITY=1 cargo build --release -p vais-python
The compiled module will be named vais.so (Linux), vais.dylib (macOS), or vais.pyd (Windows).
Node.js Bindings
# Development build
cargo build -p vais-node
# Release build
cargo build --release -p vais-node
The compiled addon will be named libvais_node.node (or platform-specific equivalent).
Usage Examples
Python Example
import vais
# Compile Vais source to LLVM IR
source = """
F factorial(n:i64)->i64={
I n<=1 {
R 1
}
R n * factorial(n - 1)
}
"""
# Check for errors
errors = vais.check(source)
if errors:
for err in errors:
print(f"{err.error_type}: {err.message}")
else:
# Compile with optimization
ir = vais.compile(source, opt_level=2, module_name="factorial")
print(ir)
Node.js Example
const vais = require('./target/release/vais_node.node');
// Compile Vais source to LLVM IR
const source = `
F factorial(n:i64)->i64={
I n<=1 {
R 1
}
R n * factorial(n - 1)
}
`;
// Check for errors
const errors = vais.check(source);
if (errors.length > 0) {
errors.forEach(err => {
console.log(`${err.errorType}: ${err.message}`);
});
} else {
// Compile with optimization
const ir = vais.compile(source, {
optLevel: 2,
moduleName: "factorial"
});
console.log(ir);
}
Implementation Details
Shared Token Conversion
Both bindings share a common token conversion module (token_conv.rs) that maps Vais lexer tokens to language-specific representations:
- Python: Returns
TokenInfoPyClass objects - Node.js: Returns
VaisTokenNAPI objects
AST Serialization
Currently, both bindings provide a simplified AST representation with:
- Module type identifier
- Item count
- Empty items array (placeholder for full AST serialization)
Full AST serialization can be added in the future by implementing comprehensive type mapping.
Error Handling
Both bindings provide consistent error reporting:
Python:
- Uses
PyValueErrorfor lexer/parser errors - Uses
PyRuntimeErrorfor codegen errors - Returns list of
Errorobjects for type checking
Node.js:
- Uses
ErrorwithStatus::InvalidArgfor lexer/parser errors - Uses
ErrorwithStatus::GenericFailurefor codegen errors - Returns array of
VaisErrorobjects for type checking
Optimization Support
Both bindings support LLVM IR optimization levels:
- O0 - No optimization (default)
- O1 - Basic optimization
- O2 - Standard optimization
- O3 - Aggressive optimization
Target Triple Support
Both bindings support cross-compilation targets:
- Native - Host platform (default)
- wasm32-unknown-unknown - WebAssembly (no OS)
- wasm32-wasi - WebAssembly System Interface
- Custom target triples via string parameter
Testing
While full Python/Node.js runtime testing is deferred, both crates compile successfully:
# Verify Python bindings compile
PYO3_USE_ABI3_FORWARD_COMPATIBILITY=1 cargo check -p vais-python
# Verify Node.js bindings compile
cargo build -p vais-node
Future Enhancements
- Full AST Serialization - Complete AST to dict/object conversion
- Streaming Compilation - Support for large files
- Source Maps - Better error reporting with source context
- Async APIs - Non-blocking compilation for Node.js
- Type Stubs - Python .pyi files for better IDE support
- NPM Package - Publish to npm with pre-built binaries
- PyPI Package - Publish to PyPI with wheels for common platforms

Generate for specific type:
vaisc bindgen container.hpp --cpp --instantiate "Container<int>" -o container_int.vais
Generated:
S ContainerInt {
data: *i32,
size: u64,
}
extern F _ZNK9ContainerIiE3getEm(self: *ContainerInt, index: u64) -> i32
impl ContainerInt {
F get(self: *ContainerInt, index: u64) -> i32 {
_ZNK9ContainerIiE3getEm(self, index)
}
}

Name Mangling
Understanding Mangled Names
C++ uses name mangling to support function overloading:
void foo(int x); // _Z3fooi
void foo(double x); // _Z3food
void foo(int x, int y); // _Z3fooii
The bindgen tool automatically generates these mangled names.
Viewing Mangled Names
# View mangled names in library
nm libmylib.so | grep foo
# Demangle names
nm libmylib.so | c++filt
Avoiding Name Mangling
Use extern "C" in C++ to avoid mangling:
extern "C" {
void simple_function(int x);
}
Then use --no-mangle flag:
vaisc bindgen header.h --no-mangle
Best Practices
1. Keep Interfaces Simple
Prefer simple C-like interfaces:
// Good
extern "C" {
void* create_object();
void destroy_object(void* obj);
int process(void* obj, int x);
}
// Harder to bind
template<typename T, typename U>
class Complex {
std::unique_ptr<T> data;
virtual U process(const T&) = 0;
};
2. Provide Factory Functions
class MyClass {
private:
MyClass(int x); // Private constructor
public:
static MyClass* create(int x) {
return new MyClass(x);
}
};
3. Use Value Types When Possible
// Good: simple struct
struct Point {
double x, y;
};
// Harder: requires memory management
class PointManager {
std::vector<Point> points;
};
4. Document Ownership
// Returns owned pointer - caller must delete
MyClass* create_object();
// Borrows pointer - do not delete
void process(const MyClass* obj);
Troubleshooting
Cannot Find Header
vaisc bindgen myheader.hpp -I /usr/include -I /usr/local/include --cpp
Unsupported Feature
If bindgen fails on complex C++:
- Simplify the interface
- Use
extern "C"wrapper - Manually write bindings
Linker Errors
# Check that library exists
ls libmylib.so
# Check mangled names match
nm libmylib.so | grep function_name
Advanced Topics
Custom Type Conversions
For types that don't map directly, create wrapper functions:
// C++
std::string get_name();
// Wrapper
extern "C" const char* get_name_wrapper() {
static std::string result = get_name();
return result.c_str();
}
Exception Handling
Convert exceptions to error codes:
// C++
void may_throw();
// Wrapper
extern "C" int may_throw_wrapper() {
try {
may_throw();
return 0; // Success
} catch (...) {
return -1; // Error
}
}

C++ 빠른 시작
C++ Bindgen Quick Start
This guide will get you started with using C++ libraries from Vais in 5 minutes.
Prerequisites
- Vais compiler installed
- C++ compiler (g++, clang++, or MSVC)
- Basic knowledge of C++ and Vais
Step 1: Create a Simple C++ Library
Create a file math.hpp:
// math.hpp
#ifndef MATH_HPP
#define MATH_HPP
class Calculator {
public:
int add(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
int multiply(int a, int b) {
return a * b;
}
};
double square(double x) {
return x * x;
}
#endif
Step 2: Generate Vais Bindings
Run the bindgen tool:
vaisc bindgen math.hpp -o math.vais --cpp
This creates math.vais with the bindings.
Step 3: Create a C++ Implementation File
Create math.cpp:
// math.cpp
#include "math.hpp"
// If you have additional implementation, put it here
// For this example, everything is in the header
Step 4: Compile the C++ Library
On Linux:
g++ -shared -fPIC math.cpp -o libmath.so
On macOS:
clang++ -dynamiclib math.cpp -o libmath.dylib
On Windows:
cl /LD math.cpp
Step 5: Use the Library in Vais
Create main.vais:
# Import the generated bindings
U math
F main() -> i64 {
# Create a Calculator object
calc := Calculator { }
# Call methods (note: need to pass self pointer)
result1 := calc.add(&calc, 10, 20)
printf("10 + 20 = %d\n", result1)
result2 := calc.multiply(&calc, 5, 7)
printf("5 * 7 = %d\n", result2)
# Call standalone function
sq := square(4.5)
printf("4.5^2 = %f\n", sq)
0
}
Step 6: Build and Run
# Build the Vais program and link with the C++ library
vaisc build main.vais -L. -lmath
# Run it
./main
Expected output:
10 + 20 = 30
5 * 7 = 35
4.5^2 = 20.250000
Complete Example with Separate Implementation
Let's do a more realistic example with separate header and implementation.
vector2.hpp
#ifndef VECTOR2_HPP
#define VECTOR2_HPP
class Vector2 {
public:
double x;
double y;
Vector2(double x, double y);
double length() const;
Vector2 add(const Vector2& other) const;
};
#endif
vector2.cpp
#include "vector2.hpp"
#include <cmath>
Vector2::Vector2(double x, double y) : x(x), y(y) {}
double Vector2::length() const {
return std::sqrt(x * x + y * y);
}
Vector2 Vector2::add(const Vector2& other) const {
return Vector2(x + other.x, y + other.y);
}
Generate and build:
# Generate bindings
vaisc bindgen vector2.hpp -o vector2.vais --cpp
# Compile C++ library
g++ -shared -fPIC vector2.cpp -o libvector2.so
Use in Vais (vec_main.vais):
U vector2
F main() -> i64 {
# Create vectors
v1 := Vector2::new(3.0, 4.0)
v2 := Vector2::new(1.0, 2.0)
# Call methods
len1 := v1.length()
printf("Length of v1: %f\n", len1)
# Add vectors
v3 := v1.add(&v2)
printf("v1 + v2 = (%f, %f)\n", v3.x, v3.y)
0
}
Build and run:
vaisc build vec_main.vais -L. -lvector2
./vec_main
Common Patterns
1. Calling Methods
C++ methods require passing this pointer explicitly:
# Wrong:
result := obj.method(arg)
# Correct:
result := obj.method(&obj, arg)
# Or use the impl wrapper:
impl MyClass {
F method(self: *MyClass, arg: i32) -> i32 {
_ZN7MyClass6methodEi(self, arg)
}
}
# Then you can call:
result := obj.method(&obj, arg)
2. Creating Objects
Constructor calls via helper functions:
# The bindgen creates wrapper like this:
impl MyClass {
F new(arg: i32) -> MyClass {
obj := MyClass { /* fields */ }
_ZN7MyClassC1Ei(&obj, arg)
obj
}
}
# Use it:
obj := MyClass::new(42)
3. Working with Pointers
# Pass address with &
method_taking_pointer(&obj)
# Dereference with *
value := *ptr
Troubleshooting
Problem: "cannot find -lmylib"
Solution: Make sure library is in current directory or add path:
vaisc build main.vais -L/path/to/lib -lmylib
Problem: Undefined symbol errors
Solution: Check mangled names match:
nm libmylib.so | grep ClassName
Problem: Segmentation fault
Solution:
- Make sure you're passing pointers correctly
- Check that objects are initialized
- Verify library is compatible (same compiler/ABI)
Next Steps
- Read
CPP_SUPPORT.mdfor detailed feature documentation - See
CPP_IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.mdfor advanced usage - Check
DESIGN.mdfor architecture details
Tips
- Start Simple: Begin with simple structs and functions
- Use extern "C": Avoid name mangling when possible
- Check Bindings: Review generated
.vaisfile - Test Incrementally: Add features one at a time
- Handle Errors: Use Result types for fallible operations
Full Working Example
Here's everything in one place:
simple.hpp:
class Counter {
private:
int count;
public:
Counter() : count(0) {}
void increment() { count++; }
int get() const { return count; }
};
Commands:
# Generate bindings
vaisc bindgen simple.hpp -o simple.vais --cpp
# Compile library
g++ -shared -fPIC simple.hpp -o libsimple.so
# Create Vais program
cat > test.vais << 'EOF'
U simple
F main() -> i64 {
counter := Counter::new()
counter.increment(&counter)
counter.increment(&counter)
counter.increment(&counter)
value := counter.get(&counter)
printf("Count: %d\n", value)
0
}
EOF
# Build and run
vaisc build test.vais -L. -lsimple
./test
Expected output: Count: 3
Success!
You've now successfully:
- Generated bindings from C++ headers
- Compiled a C++ library
- Called C++ code from Vais
- Linked everything together
Happy coding!

vais-bindgen Design Document
Overview
vais-bindgen is a Rust bindgen-style FFI binding generator for the Vais programming language. It automatically generates Vais FFI bindings from C header files.
Architecture
Core Components
-
Parser (
src/parser.rs)- Parses C header files
- Extracts function declarations, structs, enums, and typedefs
- Handles basic C syntax including pointers, const qualifiers, and variadic functions
- Uses regex-based parsing for simplicity (not a full C parser)
-
Generator (
src/generator.rs)- Converts parsed C declarations to Vais FFI syntax
- Maps C types to Vais types
- Generates extern blocks with proper syntax
-
Config (
src/config.rs)- Configuration options for binding generation
- Custom type mappings
- Allow/blocklists for selective generation
- Library naming
-
Bindgen (
src/lib.rs)- Main API for users
- Coordinates parsing and generation
- Provides builder-style API
Type Mappings
Primitive Types
| C Type | Vais Type |
|---|---|
| void | () |
| char | i8 |
| short | i16 |
| int | i32 |
| long | i64 |
| unsigned char | u8 |
| unsigned short | u16 |
| unsigned int | u32 |
| unsigned long | u64 |
| float | f32 |
| double | f64 |
| bool | bool |
| size_t | usize |
Pointer Types
T*→*mut Tconst T*→*const Tvoid*→*mut ()const void*→*const ()
Complex Types
- Opaque Structs: Forward-declared structs become
type Name = *mut () - Regular Structs: Fully translated with fields
- Enums: C-style enums with explicit values
- Typedefs: Type aliases
Features
Implemented
- ✅ Function declarations (including variadic)
- ✅ Struct definitions (regular and opaque)
- ✅ Enum definitions with values
- ✅ Typedef declarations
- ✅ Pointer types (mutable and const)
- ✅ Custom type mappings
- ✅ Library naming for extern blocks
- ✅ Preprocessor directive filtering
- ✅ Comment stripping
- ✅ CLI tool
Not Implemented (Future Work)
- ❌ Full C preprocessor support
- ❌ Macro expansion
- ❌ Function pointers as types
- ❌ Unions
- ❌ Bitfields
- ❌ Array types with explicit sizes
- ❌ Nested struct definitions
- ❌ C++ support
- ❌ Automatic wrapper generation
- ❌ Documentation comment preservation
Usage Patterns
Library Usage
use vais_bindgen::{Bindgen, BindgenConfig};
let mut bindgen = Bindgen::new();
bindgen
.header("mylib.h")
.unwrap()
.configure(|config| {
config.set_library_name("mylib");
config.add_type_mapping("size_t", "u64");
})
.generate_to_file("bindings.vais")
.unwrap();
CLI Usage
vais-bindgen mylib.h -o bindings.vais -l mylib
vais-bindgen -t size_t=u64 mylib.h
Design Decisions
Why Regex-Based Parsing?
- Simplicity: Easier to implement and maintain
- Good Enough: Works for most common C headers
- Fast: No need for a full parser for simple declarations
- Trade-off: Doesn't handle all C syntax edge cases
Why Not Full C Parser?
- Complex C syntax with preprocessor makes full parsing difficult
- Most FFI bindings need simple declarations
- Users can always preprocess headers first if needed
Opaque Struct Handling
Opaque structs (forward declarations) are mapped to *mut () to:
- Maintain type safety
- Allow pointer manipulation
- Prevent accidental dereferencing
Testing Strategy
Unit Tests
- Individual function testing for parser, generator, and config
- Type mapping verification
- Edge case handling
Integration Tests
- Complete binding generation from various C headers
- Real-world examples (graphics, database, etc.)
- Error handling scenarios
Examples
- Simple usage demonstrations
- Complex scenarios (graphics library, advanced types)
- CLI tool examples
Limitations
- Not a Full C Parser: Cannot handle complex C syntax
- No Preprocessor: Macros and conditionals are ignored
- Simple Type System: Some C types may not map perfectly
- No Validation: Generated code is not validated
- Manual Cleanup: Generated code may need manual adjustment
Future Enhancements
- Better Parser: Use a proper C parser library (e.g.,
lang-c) - Wrapper Generation: Generate safe Rust-style wrappers
- Documentation: Preserve C comments as doc comments
- Validation: Validate generated Vais code
- Configuration Files: Support for config files
- Templates: Customizable output templates
- Plugin System: Allow custom type converters
Performance Considerations
- Regex compilation is cached
- Single-pass parsing where possible
- Minimal allocations during generation
- Streaming output for large headers
Error Handling
- Parse errors provide context
- Type mapping errors are clear
- I/O errors are propagated properly
- CLI tool provides helpful error messages
WASM Components
Vais provides first-class support for WebAssembly (WASM) compilation, enabling your code to run in browsers, Node.js, and WASI runtimes.
Overview
WebAssembly is a portable binary instruction format designed for safe, fast execution in web browsers and beyond. Vais can compile to WASM targets, allowing you to:
- Run in Browsers — Build web applications with near-native performance
- Server-Side WASM — Use WASI for command-line tools and microservices
- Edge Computing — Deploy to Cloudflare Workers, Fastly Compute, and other edge platforms
- Embedded Systems — Lightweight, sandboxed execution environments
Supported Targets
Vais supports multiple WASM compilation targets:
| Target | Description | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
wasm32-unknown-unknown | Generic WASM for browsers | Web applications, JavaScript interop |
wasm32-wasi | WASM with WASI syscalls | CLI tools, server-side apps |
wasm32-unknown-emscripten | Emscripten-compatible | Legacy browser support |
Key Features
1. Bidirectional JavaScript Interop
Import JavaScript functions into Vais:
#[wasm_import("env", "console_log")]
N F console_log(ptr: i64, len: i64)
Export Vais functions to JavaScript:
#[wasm_export("add")]
F add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 {
a + b
}
2. Standard Web APIs
Pre-built bindings in std/web.vais:
- Console, DOM manipulation, Timers
- Fetch API, LocalStorage, Canvas
- WebSocket, Geolocation, History API
3. WASI System Interface
Access files, environment, and syscalls via std/wasm.vais:
- File I/O (read, write, seek)
- Command-line arguments and environment variables
- Clock, random number generation
4. Component Model
Support for WASM Component Model and WIT (WebAssembly Interface Types):
- Language-agnostic interfaces
- Composable components
- Advanced type system
5. TypeScript Declarations
Automatic .d.ts generation with vais-bindgen:
vais-bindgen --wasm-js input.vais -o bindings.js
Quick Start
Compile to WASM
vaisc --target wasm32-unknown-unknown hello.vais -o hello.wasm
Load in JavaScript
const response = await fetch('hello.wasm');
const { instance } = await WebAssembly.instantiate(
await response.arrayBuffer(),
{ env: { /* imports */ } }
);
instance.exports.hello();
Use in Node.js with WASI
wasmtime hello.wasm

- Environment variables and arguments
- Running with Wasmtime, Wasmer, Node.js
Performance Characteristics
WASM compiled from Vais achieves:
- Near-native speed — Typically 70-90% of native performance
- Small binary size — With LTO and optimization, often <100KB for typical apps
- Fast startup — Instant module instantiation
- No garbage collection pauses — Deterministic memory management
Security Model
WASM execution is sandboxed:
- Memory isolation — Linear memory is separate from host
- No direct I/O — All system access via explicit imports
- Capability-based — WASI grants explicit filesystem/network access
- Type-safe — Strong typing prevents common vulnerabilities
Ecosystem Integration
Web Frameworks
- Use Vais with React, Vue, Svelte via WASM components
- Framework-agnostic — works with any JavaScript framework
Edge Platforms
- Cloudflare Workers
- Fastly Compute@Edge
- Deno Deploy
- AWS Lambda (WASM runtime)
Tooling

Comparison with Other Languages
| Language | Binary Size | Performance | Browser Support | WASI Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vais | Small (100KB) | Fast (85%) | Yes | Yes |
| Rust | Medium (200KB) | Fast (90%) | Yes | Yes |
| AssemblyScript | Small (50KB) | Good (75%) | Yes | Limited |
| C/C++ | Medium (150KB) | Fast (90%) | Yes (Emscripten) | Yes |
| Go | Large (2MB) | Good (70%) | Yes | Limited |
Performance percentages are relative to native execution
Limitations
Current WASM limitations in Vais:
- No threads — WASM threads are experimental (WASI preview2 will add support)
- 32-bit pointers — Memory limited to 4GB per module
- No dynamic linking — Each module is self-contained
- Limited SIMD — WASM SIMD proposal not yet fully supported
These are WASM platform limitations, not specific to Vais.
Examples
Web Application
U std/web
#[wasm_export("init")]
F init() {
log_str("App initialized")
elem := get_element_by_id("root")
set_text_content(elem, "Hello from Vais!")
}
CLI Tool with WASI
U std/wasm
F main() -> i64 {
# Read from stdin
input := wasi_read_stdin(1024)
# Process and write to stdout
output := process(input)
wasi_write_stdout(output)
R 0
}
Computational Kernel
#[wasm_export("fib")]
F fib(n: i64) -> i64 {
I n <= 1 { R n }

- MDN WASM Guide — Browser integration
Getting Started with WASM
This guide will walk you through compiling Vais to WebAssembly and running it in a browser or Node.js environment.
Prerequisites
To compile Vais to WASM, you need:
- Vais compiler (
vaisc) - LLVM 17 with wasm32 target support
- wasm-ld linker (included with LLVM)
Installing LLVM with WASM Support
On macOS (Homebrew):
brew install llvm@17
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/llvm@17/bin:$PATH"
On Linux (APT):
wget https://apt.llvm.org/llvm.sh
chmod +x llvm.sh
sudo ./llvm.sh 17
Verify wasm-ld is available:
wasm-ld --version
Quick Start: Hello World
Step 1: Write a Simple Vais Program
Create hello.vais:
# Import console API from JavaScript host
#[wasm_import("env", "console_log")]
N F console_log(ptr: i64, len: i64)
# Export a function for JavaScript to call
#[wasm_export("hello")]
F hello() {
msg := "Hello from Vais WASM!"
console_log(str_to_ptr(msg), strlen(msg))
}
# WASM entry point
F _start() {
hello()
}
Step 2: Compile to WASM
vaisc --target wasm32-unknown-unknown hello.vais -o hello.wasm
This generates hello.wasm in the current directory.
Step 3: Load from JavaScript
Create index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Vais WASM Example</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Vais WASM</h1>
<div id="output"></div>
<script>
// Helper to read strings from WASM memory
function readString(ptr, len, memory) {
const bytes = new Uint8Array(memory.buffer, ptr, len);
return new TextDecoder().decode(bytes);
}
// Load and instantiate WASM module
async function loadWasm() {
const response = await fetch('hello.wasm');
const buffer = await response.arrayBuffer();
const { instance } = await WebAssembly.instantiate(buffer, {
env: {
console_log: (ptr, len) => {
const msg = readString(ptr, len, instance.exports.memory);
console.log(msg);
document.getElementById('output').textContent = msg;
}
}
});
// Call the exported function
instance.exports.hello();
}
loadWasm().catch(console.error);
</script>
</body>
</html>
Step 4: Serve and Test
Start a local HTTP server (required for WASM):
python3 -m http.server 8000
Open http://localhost:8000 in your browser. You should see "Hello from Vais WASM!" in both the console and on the page.
Using Standard Web APIs
The std/web.vais module provides pre-built bindings for common browser APIs:
U std/web
#[wasm_export("init")]
F init() {
# Console logging
log_str("Application initialized")
# DOM manipulation
elem := get_element_by_id("app")
set_text_content(elem, "Welcome to Vais!")
# Timer
timer := set_timeout(0, 1000) # 1 second delay
}
Available API modules:
- Console —
log_str,warn_str,error_str - DOM —
get_element_by_id,set_text_content,set_inner_html - Timers —
set_timeout,set_interval,clear_timeout - Fetch — HTTP requests
- Storage — LocalStorage/SessionStorage
- Canvas — 2D graphics
See std/web.vais source for the complete API.
Debugging WASM
Viewing WASM Text Format
Convert binary WASM to readable text format:
wasm2wat hello.wasm -o hello.wat
Inspecting with Browser DevTools
Modern browsers have built-in WASM debugging:
- Open DevTools (F12)
- Go to "Sources" or "Debugger" tab
- Find your WASM module in the file tree
- Set breakpoints and inspect memory
Adding Debug Symbols
Compile with debug info:
vaisc --target wasm32-unknown-unknown --debug hello.vais -o hello.wasm
This includes function names and source maps in the WASM binary.
Using the Vais Playground
The easiest way to experiment with WASM is the Vais Playground:
- Write your Vais code
- Click "Compile" and select "WASM" target
- The playground automatically loads and runs the WASM module
- View output in the console pane
The playground handles all the JavaScript glue code automatically.
Node.js WASM Execution
You can also run WASM in Node.js:
const fs = require('fs');
async function runWasm() {
const wasmBuffer = fs.readFileSync('./hello.wasm');
const { instance } = await WebAssembly.instantiate(wasmBuffer, {
env: {
console_log: (ptr, len) => {
// Read string from WASM memory
const view = new Uint8Array(instance.exports.memory.buffer);
const bytes = view.slice(ptr, ptr + len);
const msg = Buffer.from(bytes).toString('utf8');
console.log(msg);
}
}
});
instance.exports.hello();
}
runWasm();
Run with:
node run.js
Next Steps
- Component Model — Learn about WASM Component Model and WIT types
- JS Interop — Advanced JavaScript integration patterns
- WASI — Use WASI for system interfaces and file I/O
Component Model
The WASM Component Model is a proposal for composable, language-agnostic WebAssembly components. It extends core WASM with high-level types and interfaces.
What is the Component Model?
The Component Model adds:
- WIT (WebAssembly Interface Types) — A language for defining interfaces
- High-level types — Strings, lists, records, variants beyond core WASM
- Composability — Link components written in different languages
- Virtualization — Sandbox components with fine-grained capabilities
This enables true polyglot composition where Vais, Rust, Go, and C++ components can interoperate seamlessly.
WIT (WebAssembly Interface Types)
WIT is an IDL (Interface Definition Language) for WASM components. It looks like this:
// calculator.wit
interface calculator {
add: func(a: s32, b: s32) -> s32
divide: func(a: f64, b: f64) -> result<f64, string>
}
world math-service {
export calculator
}
This defines:
- An
interfacewith two functions - A
world(entry point) that exports the interface
Vais Type Mapping to WIT
Vais types map to WIT types as follows:
| Vais Type | WIT Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
i8, i16, i32, i64 | s8, s16, s32, s64 | Signed integers |
u8, u16, u32, u64 | u8, u16, u32, u64 | Unsigned integers |
f32, f64 | f32, f64 | Floating point |
bool | bool | Boolean |
str | string | UTF-8 string |
Vec<T> | list<T> | Dynamic array |
Option<T> | option<T> | Optional value |
Result<T, E> | result<T, E> | Error handling |
| Struct | record | Named fields |
| Enum | variant | Tagged union |
| Tuple | tuple<...> | Fixed-size sequence |
Example: Struct Mapping
Vais struct:
S Person {
name: str,
age: i32,
active: bool
}
WIT record:
record person {
name: string,
age: s32,
active: bool,
}
Example: Enum Mapping
Vais enum:
E Status {
Pending,
Running(i64),
Complete(str)
}
WIT variant:
variant status {
pending,
running(s64),
complete(string),
}
Defining Component Interfaces
You can define WIT interfaces for Vais components using attributes:
# Annotate with WIT interface
#[wit_interface("calculator")]
S Calculator {}
#[wit_export("add")]
F add(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 {
a + b
}
#[wit_export("divide")]
F divide(a: f64, b: f64) -> Result<f64, str> {
I b == 0.0 {
R Err("Division by zero")
}
R Ok(a / b)
}
The Vais compiler generates corresponding WIT:
interface calculator {
add: func(a: s32, b: s32) -> s32
divide: func(a: f64, b: f64) -> result<f64, string>
}
Component Linking
Components can import and export interfaces:
Producer Component (Vais)
# Export a logger interface
#[wit_export("log")]
F log_message(level: str, msg: str) {
# Implementation
}
Consumer Component (Any Language)
// consumer.wit
import logger: interface {
log: func(level: string, msg: string)
}
export consumer: interface {
run: func()
}
The consumer can call Vais's log_message through the WIT interface.
Composing Components
WASM components can be linked together:
# Compile Vais to component
vaisc --target wasm32-component logger.vais -o logger.wasm
# Compile Rust to component
cargo component build
# Link components
wasm-tools compose logger.wasm consumer.wasm -o app.wasm
The composed app.wasm contains both components, with type-safe calls across the boundary.
Resource Types
WIT supports "resources" (opaque handles):
resource database {
constructor(url: string)
query: func(sql: string) -> list<record { ... }>
close: func()
}
In Vais:
#[wit_resource("database")]
S Database {
conn: i64 # Opaque handle
}
#[wit_constructor]
F Database::new(url: str) -> Database {
conn := internal_connect(url)
Database { conn }
}
#[wit_method]
F Database::query(self, sql: str) -> Vec<Row> {
# Implementation
}
#[wit_destructor]
F Database::close(self) {
internal_close(self.conn)
}
Resources ensure proper lifetime management across component boundaries.
Canonical ABI
The Component Model defines a Canonical ABI for lowering/lifting types:
Lifting (WASM → Host)
Convert WASM linear memory representation to host language types:
WASM i32 + i32 (ptr, len) → Host String
Lowering (Host → WASM)
Convert host types to WASM linear memory:
Host String → WASM i32 + i32 (ptr, len)
Vais handles this automatically through WasmSerde:
# Automatic serialization for component exports
#[wasm_export("process")]
F process(data: Person) -> Result<str, str> {
# `data` is automatically lifted from linear memory
# Return value is automatically lowered
R Ok("Processed: ~{data.name}")
}
Generating WIT from Vais
Use vais-bindgen to extract WIT interfaces:
vais-bindgen --wit input.vais -o output.wit
This generates WIT definitions for all #[wit_export] annotated items.

Component Model vs wasm-bindgen
| Feature | Component Model | wasm-bindgen |
|---|---|---|
| Language | Any | Rust ↔ JS only |
| Type System | WIT (language-agnostic) | JS-specific |
| Composition | Multi-language | Single boundary |
| Standardization | W3C proposal | Rust ecosystem |
| Browser Support | Future | Current |
wasm-bindgen is production-ready for Rust+JS. Component Model is the future standard for all languages.
Example: Multi-Language App
A complete example using Vais, Rust, and JS:
1. Vais Component (logger.vais)
#[wit_export("log")]
F log(msg: str) {
# WASI syscall
fd_write(WASM_STDOUT, str_to_ptr(msg), strlen(msg), 0)
}
2. Rust Component (processor.rs)
wit_bindgen::generate!("processor");
impl Processor for Component {
fn process(data: String) -> String {
// Call Vais logger
logger::log(&format!("Processing: {}", data));
data.to_uppercase()
}
}
3. JavaScript Host
import { instantiate } from './bindings.js';
const { process } = await instantiate();
const result = process("hello");
console.log(result); // "HELLO"
// Logger output: "Processing: hello"
All three languages interoperate through WIT interfaces.

WASM-JavaScript Interop
Vais provides first-class WebAssembly and JavaScript interop through #[wasm_import] and #[wasm_export] attributes.
Importing JS Functions
Use #[wasm_import("module", "name")] to import JavaScript functions into Vais:
#[wasm_import("env", "console_log")]
N F console_log(msg: str)
#[wasm_import("env", "get_time")]
N F get_time() -> f64
F main() -> i64 {
console_log("Hello from Vais WASM!")
t := get_time()
0
}
The first argument is the WASM import module name, and the second is the function name within that module.
Exporting Vais Functions
Use #[wasm_export("name")] to export Vais functions for JavaScript consumption:
#[wasm_export("add")]
F add(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 {
a + b
}
#[wasm_export("fibonacci")]
F fib(n: i64) -> i64 {
I n <= 1 { n }
E { @(n - 1) + @(n - 2) }
}
These functions become callable from JavaScript after loading the WASM module.
Standard Web API Bindings
The std/web.vais module provides pre-built bindings for common Web APIs:
U std/web
F main() -> i64 {
console_log("Hello, browser!")
dom_set_text("output", "Vais is running in the browser")
0
}
Available APIs in std/web.vais:
- Console —
console_log,console_warn,console_error - Timer —
set_timeout,set_interval,clear_interval - DOM —
dom_get_text,dom_set_text,dom_set_html,dom_add_class - Fetch —
fetch_text,fetch_json - Storage —
storage_get,storage_set,storage_remove - Window —
get_url,navigate_to - Canvas —
canvas_fill_rect,canvas_stroke_rect,canvas_fill_text
Compiling to WASM
# Compile to WebAssembly
vaisc --target wasm32-unknown-unknown input.vais -o output.wasm
Using from JavaScript
// Load the WASM module
const response = await fetch('output.wasm');
const { instance } = await WebAssembly.instantiate(
await response.arrayBuffer(),
{
env: {
console_log: (ptr, len) => console.log(readString(ptr, len)),
get_time: () => performance.now(),
}
}
);
// Call exported functions
const result = instance.exports.add(2, 3);
console.log(result); // 5
Bindgen
The vais-bindgen crate can automatically generate JavaScript glue code:
vais-bindgen --wasm-js input.vais -o bindings.js
This generates:
createImports()— JavaScript import object forWebAssembly.instantiateload()— async loader function- TypeScript
.d.tstype declarations
Serialization
Complex types (structs, enums) are serialized across the WASM boundary using a compact binary format. The WasmSerde system handles:
- Struct field layout and alignment
- Enum tag encoding
- String encoding (UTF-8 with length prefix)
- Array/Vec serialization
TypeScript Declarations
The vais-bindgen tool can automatically generate TypeScript .d.ts files for type safety:
vais-bindgen --wasm-js --typescript input.vais -o bindings.js
This generates bindings.d.ts:
export interface VaisModule {
memory: WebAssembly.Memory;
add(a: number, b: number): number;
fibonacci(n: number): number;
}
export function load(wasmPath: string): Promise<VaisModule>;
Use in TypeScript:
import { load, VaisModule } from './bindings';
const module: VaisModule = await load('output.wasm');
const result: number = module.add(2, 3);
The type checker ensures you call exported functions with correct types.
Memory Management
WASM modules use linear memory, accessible from both Vais and JavaScript.
Accessing Linear Memory
WASM memory is a resizable ArrayBuffer:
const memory = instance.exports.memory;
const bytes = new Uint8Array(memory.buffer);
// Read i64 at offset 0
const view = new DataView(memory.buffer);
const value = view.getBigInt64(0, true); // true = little-endian
String Passing
Strings require encoding/decoding across the boundary:
Vais → JavaScript (export string):
#[wasm_export("get_message")]
F get_message() -> str {
R "Hello from Vais"
}
JavaScript needs to read from memory:
// Vais returns {ptr, len} struct
function readString(ptr, len, memory) {
const bytes = new Uint8Array(memory.buffer, ptr, len);
return new TextDecoder('utf-8').decode(bytes);
}
const { ptr, len } = instance.exports.get_message();
const msg = readString(ptr, len, instance.exports.memory);
JavaScript → Vais (import string):
#[wasm_import("env", "log_str")]
N F log_str(ptr: i64, len: i64)
F main() {
msg := "Hello"
log_str(str_to_ptr(msg), strlen(msg))
}
JavaScript implementation:
env: {
log_str: (ptr, len) => {
const msg = readString(ptr, len, instance.exports.memory);
console.log(msg);
}
}
Memory Growth
WASM memory can grow dynamically:
# Grow by 1 page (64KB)
old_size := memory_grow(1)
I old_size == -1 {
# Growth failed
}
JavaScript can also grow memory:
const oldPages = instance.exports.memory.grow(1);
Complex Types
Passing structs and arrays requires serialization.
Struct Serialization
Vais struct:
S Point {
x: f64,
y: f64
}
#[wasm_export("process_point")]
F process_point(ptr: i64) -> i64 {
# Read struct from linear memory
x := load_f64(ptr)
y := load_f64(ptr + 8)
# Process and write back
result_x := x * 2.0
result_y := y * 2.0
result_ptr := wasm_heap_alloc(16)
store_f64(result_ptr, result_x)
store_f64(result_ptr + 8, result_y)
R result_ptr
}
JavaScript caller:
function writePoint(point, memory) {
const ptr = instance.exports.wasm_heap_alloc(16);
const view = new DataView(memory.buffer);
view.setFloat64(ptr, point.x, true);
view.setFloat64(ptr + 8, point.y, true);
return ptr;
}
function readPoint(ptr, memory) {
const view = new DataView(memory.buffer);
return {
x: view.getFloat64(ptr, true),
y: view.getFloat64(ptr + 8, true)
};
}
const inputPtr = writePoint({ x: 1.5, y: 2.5 }, instance.exports.memory);
const outputPtr = instance.exports.process_point(inputPtr);
const result = readPoint(outputPtr, instance.exports.memory);
console.log(result); // { x: 3.0, y: 5.0 }
Array/Vec Passing
Vais expects arrays as {ptr, len} fat pointers:
#[wasm_export("sum_array")]
F sum_array(arr_ptr: i64, arr_len: i64) -> i64 {
total := 0
i := 0
L i < arr_len {
elem := load_i64(arr_ptr + i * 8)
total = total + elem
i = i + 1
}
R total
}
JavaScript:
function writeI64Array(arr, memory) {
const ptr = instance.exports.wasm_heap_alloc(arr.length * 8);
const view = new DataView(memory.buffer);
arr.forEach((val, i) => {
view.setBigInt64(ptr + i * 8, BigInt(val), true);
});
return { ptr, len: arr.length };
}
const { ptr, len } = writeI64Array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], instance.exports.memory);
const sum = instance.exports.sum_array(ptr, len);
console.log(sum); // 15n (BigInt)
Error Handling
Vais uses Result<T, E> for error handling. Across WASM boundary:
#[wasm_export("divide")]
F divide(a: i64, b: i64) -> i64 {
I b == 0 {
# Return error code
R -1
}
R a / b
}
JavaScript checks the result:
const result = instance.exports.divide(10, 2);
if (result === -1n) {
console.error("Division error");
} else {
console.log(result); // 5n
}
For richer errors, return a struct with {ok: bool, value: i64, error: str}.
Exception Handling
WASM doesn't have native exceptions. Use error codes or Result types:
# Error codes
C ERR_NONE: i64 = 0
C ERR_INVALID_INPUT: i64 = 1
C ERR_OUT_OF_MEMORY: i64 = 2
S ResultI64 {
ok: bool,
value: i64,
error_code: i64
}
#[wasm_export("safe_divide")]
F safe_divide(a: i64, b: i64) -> ResultI64 {
I b == 0 {
R ResultI64 { ok: false, value: 0, error_code: ERR_INVALID_INPUT }
}
R ResultI64 { ok: true, value: a / b, error_code: ERR_NONE }
}
JavaScript:
const result = readResult(instance.exports.safe_divide(10, 0));
if (!result.ok) {
throw new Error(`Vais error: ${result.error_code}`);
}
Performance Tips
Minimize Boundary Crossings
Each call between WASM and JS has overhead. Batch operations:
Slow (many calls):
for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
instance.exports.process_item(i);
}
Fast (one call):
instance.exports.process_batch(startIndex, count);
Use Typed Arrays
Direct memory access via TypedArray views is faster than individual reads:
// Fast: direct view
const i32Array = new Int32Array(memory.buffer, ptr, length);
const sum = i32Array.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
// Slow: individual loads
let sum = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < length; i++) {
sum += view.getInt32(ptr + i * 4);
}
Preallocate Memory
Allocate large buffers once, reuse them:
# Global buffer
C BUFFER_SIZE: i64 = 1048576 # 1MB
mut global_buffer: i64 = 0
F init() {
global_buffer = wasm_heap_alloc(BUFFER_SIZE)
}
F process_data(size: i64) {
# Reuse global_buffer instead of allocating
}

WASI (WebAssembly System Interface)
WASI is a standardized system interface for WebAssembly, providing portable access to system calls like file I/O, environment variables, and command-line arguments.
What is WASI?
WASI defines a modular system interface that allows WASM modules to:
- Read and write files
- Access environment variables and command-line arguments
- Get the current time
- Generate random numbers
- Interact with sockets (in WASI preview 2+)
Unlike browser-based WASM, WASI is designed for server-side and command-line applications.
Supported WASI Functions in Vais
Vais provides WASI bindings through the std/wasm.vais module:
File Descriptors
fd_read(fd, iov_ptr, iov_len, nread_ptr)— Read from file descriptorfd_write(fd, iov_ptr, iov_len, nwritten_ptr)— Write to file descriptorfd_close(fd)— Close file descriptorfd_seek(fd, offset, whence, newoffset_ptr)— Seek in file
Standard Streams
Constants for standard file descriptors:
WASM_STDIN = 0— Standard inputWASM_STDOUT = 1— Standard outputWASM_STDERR = 2— Standard error
Environment
args_get(argv_ptr, argv_buf_ptr)— Get command-line argumentsargs_sizes_get(argc_ptr, argv_buf_size_ptr)— Get argument count and buffer sizeenviron_get(env_ptr, env_buf_ptr)— Get environment variablesenviron_sizes_get(env_count_ptr, env_buf_size_ptr)— Get environment sizes
System
clock_time_get(clock_id, precision, time_ptr)— Get current timerandom_get(buf_ptr, buf_len)— Generate random bytesproc_exit(exit_code)— Exit process
Example: Hello World with WASI
U std/wasm
F main() -> i64 {
# Write to stdout using WASI
msg := "Hello from WASI!\n"
ptr := str_to_ptr(msg)
len := strlen(msg)
# Create iovec structure (pointer + length)
iov := wasm_heap_alloc(16) # 2 x i64 = 16 bytes
store_i64(iov, ptr)
store_i64(iov + 8, len)
# Write to stdout
nwritten_ptr := wasm_heap_alloc(8)
result := fd_write(WASM_STDOUT, iov, 1, nwritten_ptr)
I result == 0 {
R 0 # Success
} E {
R 1 # Failure
}
}
# WASI entry point
F _start() {
exit_code := main()
proc_exit(exit_code)
}
Compiling for WASI
Compile with the wasm32-wasi target:
vaisc --target wasm32-wasi hello.vais -o hello.wasm
Running WASI Applications
Wasmtime
Wasmtime is the reference WASI runtime:
# Install wasmtime
curl https://wasmtime.dev/install.sh -sSf | bash
# Run the WASM module
wasmtime hello.wasm
# With arguments
wasmtime hello.wasm -- arg1 arg2
Wasmer
Wasmer is another popular WASI runtime:
# Install wasmer
curl https://get.wasmer.io -sSfL | sh
# Run the module
wasmer run hello.wasm
Node.js WASI
Node.js has built-in WASI support:
const { WASI } = require('wasi');
const fs = require('fs');
const wasi = new WASI({
args: process.argv,
env: process.env,
preopens: {
'/sandbox': '/tmp' // Map /tmp to /sandbox in WASM
}
});
const wasmBuffer = fs.readFileSync('./hello.wasm');
(async () => {
const { instance } = await WebAssembly.instantiate(wasmBuffer, {
wasi_snapshot_preview1: wasi.wasiImport
});
wasi.start(instance);
})();
File I/O Example
Reading a file with WASI:
U std/wasm
F read_file(path: str) -> str {
# Open file (path_open syscall - simplified)
fd := wasm_open_file(path) # Helper function
I fd < 0 {
R "Error opening file"
}
# Allocate read buffer
buf_size := 4096
buf := wasm_heap_alloc(buf_size)
# Create iovec for fd_read
iov := wasm_heap_alloc(16)
store_i64(iov, buf)
store_i64(iov + 8, buf_size)
# Read from file
nread_ptr := wasm_heap_alloc(8)
result := fd_read(fd, iov, 1, nread_ptr)
I result == 0 {
nread := load_i64(nread_ptr)
content := ptr_to_str(buf, nread)
fd_close(fd)
R content
} E {
fd_close(fd)
R "Error reading file"
}
}
WASI Modules
WASI is organized into capability-based modules:
wasi_snapshot_preview1 (Current)
The current stable WASI version includes:
- File I/O
- Environment access
- Clock and random number generation
- Process control
wasi_snapshot_preview2 (Future)
Preview 2 adds:
- Sockets and networking
- Async I/O
- Component Model integration
- Enhanced security capabilities
Vais will support preview2 when it becomes stable.
Security Considerations
WASI follows a capability-based security model:
- No Ambient Authority — WASM modules can't access files unless explicitly granted
- Preopened Directories — Runtimes specify which directories are accessible
- No Network by Default — Networking requires explicit capability grants
Example with restricted file access:
# Grant read-only access to /data directory
wasmtime --dir=/data::ro hello.wasm
# Grant read-write access to /output
wasmtime --dir=/output hello.wasm
WASI vs Browser WASM
| Feature | WASI | Browser WASM |
|---|---|---|
| File I/O | Yes (with capabilities) | No (use Fetch API) |
| Environment Vars | Yes | No |
| Networking | Yes (preview2) | Fetch API only |
| Entry Point | _start() | Custom exports |
| Security Model | Capabilities | Same-origin policy |
| Use Case | CLI tools, servers | Web apps |
Combining WASI with Custom Imports
You can mix WASI syscalls with custom JavaScript imports:
# WASI file I/O
U std/wasm
# Custom browser API
#[wasm_import("env", "alert")]
N F js_alert(ptr: i64, len: i64)
F main() -> i64 {
# Use WASI to read config
config := read_file("config.txt")
# Use custom import to show alert
js_alert(str_to_ptr(config), strlen(config))
R 0
}

Async Runtime
Vais provides a comprehensive async runtime with Future-based concurrency, enabling efficient asynchronous I/O and task scheduling.
Core Concepts
Futures
Futures represent asynchronous computations that will complete in the future:
U std::async
F fetch_data() -> Future<str> {
# Async computation
async_http_get("https://api.example.com/data")
}
F main() -> i64 {
future := fetch_data()
result := Y future # Await the future
puts("Got: ~{result}")
0
}
The Y operator (await) suspends execution until the future completes.
Task Spawning
spawn
Create concurrent tasks that run independently:
U std::async
F background_task(id: i64) -> Future<()> {
sleep(1000)
puts("Task ~{id} completed")
}
F main() -> i64 {
spawn(background_task(1))
spawn(background_task(2))
spawn(background_task(3))
# Wait for all tasks
sleep(2000)
0
}
select
Wait for the first of multiple futures to complete:
U std::async
F main() -> i64 {
future_a := fetch_data_a()
future_b := fetch_data_b()
result := select([future_a, future_b])
puts("First result: ~{result}")
0
}
join
Wait for all futures to complete:
U std::async
F main() -> i64 {
futures := [
fetch_user(1),
fetch_user(2),
fetch_user(3)
]
results := join(futures)
# Process all results
0
}
Future Combinators
map / flat_map
Transform future values:
U std::async
F main() -> i64 {
future := fetch_number()
.map(|n| n * 2)
.flat_map(|n| fetch_string(n))
result := Y future
0
}
filter
Filter future values:
future := fetch_users()
.filter(|user| user.age >= 18)
race
Return the first future to complete (similar to select but with different semantics):
winner := race([slow_fetch(), fast_fetch()])
retry
Retry failed futures:
result := fetch_with_retry()
.retry(3) # Retry up to 3 times
chain
Chain futures sequentially:
result := fetch_token()
.chain(|token| fetch_user(token))
.chain(|user| fetch_posts(user.id))
fuse
Prevent multiple polls after completion:
future := fetch_data().fuse()
Synchronization Primitives
Barrier
Coordinate multiple tasks to reach a synchronization point:
U std::async
F main() -> i64 {
barrier := Barrier::new(3)
spawn(worker(barrier, 1))
spawn(worker(barrier, 2))
spawn(worker(barrier, 3))
# All workers will wait at the barrier
0
}
F worker(barrier: Barrier, id: i64) -> Future<()> {
puts("Worker ~{id} starting")
Y barrier.wait()
puts("Worker ~{id} past barrier")
}
Semaphore
Limit concurrent access to a resource:
U std::async
F main() -> i64 {
sem := Semaphore::new(2) # Allow 2 concurrent tasks
spawn(limited_task(sem, 1))
spawn(limited_task(sem, 2))
spawn(limited_task(sem, 3)) # Will wait for slot
0
}
F limited_task(sem: Semaphore, id: i64) -> Future<()> {
Y sem.acquire()
puts("Task ~{id} running")
sleep(1000)
sem.release()
}
WaitGroup
Wait for a group of tasks to complete:
U std::async
F main() -> i64 {
wg := WaitGroup::new()
wg.add(3)
spawn(task(wg, 1))
spawn(task(wg, 2))
spawn(task(wg, 3))
Y wg.wait() # Wait for all tasks
puts("All tasks completed")
0
}
F task(wg: WaitGroup, id: i64) -> Future<()> {
sleep(id * 100)
puts("Task ~{id} done")
wg.done()
}
OnceCell
Initialize a value exactly once in a concurrent context:
U std::async
global config: OnceCell<Config> = OnceCell::new()
F get_config() -> Future<Config> {
Y config.get_or_init(|| load_config())
}
AsyncStream
Stream values asynchronously:
U std::async
F generate_numbers() -> AsyncStream<i64> {
stream := AsyncStream::new()
L i := 0; i < 10; i = i + 1 {
Y stream.send(i)
Y sleep(100)
}
stream
}
F main() -> i64 {
stream := generate_numbers()
L {
M Y stream.next() {
Some(n) => puts("Got: ~{n}"),
None => B
}
}
0
}
Async I/O
File I/O
U std::async_io
F main() -> i64 {
content := Y async_read_file("input.txt")
Y async_write_file("output.txt", content)
0
}
Network I/O
U std::async_net
F main() -> i64 {
listener := Y AsyncTcpListener::bind("127.0.0.1:8080")
L {
stream := Y listener.accept()
spawn(handle_connection(stream))
}
0
}
F handle_connection(stream: AsyncTcpStream) -> Future<()> {
buffer := [0u8; 1024]
n := Y stream.read(buffer)
Y stream.write(buffer[0..n])
}
HTTP Server
U std::async_http
F main() -> i64 {
server := AsyncHttpServer::new("127.0.0.1:8080")
server.get("/", |req| {
AsyncHttpResponse {
status: 200,
body: "Hello, World!"
}
})
Y server.run()

HTTP Client
U std::async_http

puts("Success: ~{body}")
},
_ => puts("Error: ~{response.status}")
}
0
}
Runtime Configuration
The async runtime can be configured:
U std::async
F main() -> i64 {
runtime := AsyncRuntime::new()
.worker_threads(4)
.max_blocking_threads(16)
.thread_name("vais-worker")
runtime.block_on(async_main())
}
F async_main() -> Future<i64> {
# Your async code here
0
}
Standard Library Modules
- std/async.vais — Core async primitives (Future, spawn, select, join)
- std/async_io.vais — Async file I/O operations
- std/async_net.vais — Async networking (TCP, UDP)
- std/async_http.vais — Async HTTP client and server
Performance Tips
- Batch operations — Use
jointo parallelize independent tasks - Limit concurrency — Use
Semaphoreto prevent resource exhaustion - Stream processing — Use
AsyncStreamfor large datasets - Avoid blocking — Never block in async tasks (use async I/O)
Error Handling
Combine async with Result types:
U std::async
F fetch_data() -> Future<Result<str, Error>> {
# May fail
async_http_get("https://api.example.com/data")
}
F main() -> i64 {
M Y fetch_data() {
Ok(data) => puts("Success: ~{data}"),
Err(e) => puts("Error: ~{e}")
}
0
}

국제화 (i18n)
i18n (국제화) 에러 메시지 설계
작성일: 2026-01-20 상태: 설계 완료 구현 대상: vais-types, vais-parser, vaisc
1. 개요
목표
- 컴파일러 에러 메시지를 다국어로 제공
- 현재 영어(en) 기본, 한국어(ko), 일본어(ja) 지원
- 런타임 오버헤드 최소화 (컴파일 타임 메시지 로딩)
핵심 원칙
- Rust 생태계 표준 활용:
rust-i18n또는fluent크레이트 사용 - 토큰 효율성: JSON 기반 단순 포맷 (Vais 철학과 일치)
- 점진적 적용: 기존 API 호환성 유지
2. 아키텍처
2.1 메시지 포맷 선택: JSON
선택 이유:
- Fluent(Mozilla)는 복잡한 문법 규칙에 강하지만 오버헤드 있음
- TOML은 Rust와 잘 맞지만 복잡한 변수 치환 어려움
- JSON: 단순, 파싱 빠름, Vais 철학(토큰 효율)과 일치
파일 구조:

6. 구현 계획
6.1 단계별 작업
| 단계 | 작업 | 추천 모델 | 예상 라인 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | vais-i18n 크레이트 생성 | Sonnet | ~300 |
| 2 | 번역 파일 생성 (en, ko, ja) | Haiku | ~150 |

[dependencies]
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
serde_json = "1.0"
once_cell = "1.18" # 전역 인스턴스용
7. 테스트 전략
7.1 단위 테스트
#[test]
fn test_locale_detection() {
std::env::set_var("VAIS_LANG", "ko");
assert_eq!(Locale::detect(), Locale::Ko);
}
#[test]
fn test_message_substitution() {
let i18n = I18n::with_locale(Locale::En);
let msg = i18n.get("type.E001.message", &[
("expected", "i64"),
("found", "Str"),
]);
assert_eq!(msg, "expected i64, found Str");
}
#[test]
fn test_fallback_to_english() {
let i18n = I18n::with_locale(Locale::Ko);
// 한국어에 없는 키는 영어로 폴백
let msg = i18n.get_simple("unknown.key");
// 영어 기본값 또는 키 자체 반환
}
7.2 통합 테스트
#[test]
fn test_localized_type_error() {
vais_i18n::init(Some(Locale::Ko));
let error = TypeError::Mismatch {
expected: "i64".to_string(),
found: "Str".to_string(),
span: None,
};
assert_eq!(error.localized_title(), "타입 불일치");
assert!(error.localized_message().contains("i64"));
}
8. 확장성
8.1 새 언어 추가
locales/디렉토리에{locale}.json추가Localeenum에 새 variant 추가Locale::from_str()에 매핑 추가
8.2 새 에러 추가
- 각
.json파일에 에러 코드 추가 - 해당 Error 타입의
localized_*메서드 업데이트
9. 결론
이 설계는 Vais의 토큰 효율성 철학과 일치하면서도 확장 가능한 i18n 시스템을 제공합니다. JSON 기반의 단순한 구조로 유지보수가 쉽고, 점진적 적용이 가능합니다.
IPv6 구현
IPv6 Implementation for Net Module
Overview
Added comprehensive IPv6 support to the std/net.vais module, enabling network programming with both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.
Implementation Date
2026-01-20
Components Added
1. Constants
C AF_INET6: i64 = 30 # IPv6 address family (macOS: 30, Linux: 10)
C IPPROTO_IPV6: i64 = 41 # IPv6 protocol
C IPV6_V6ONLY: i64 = 27 # IPv6-only socket option (macOS)
C SOCKADDR_IN6_SIZE: i64 = 28 # sockaddr_in6 structure size
2. sockaddr_in6 Structure Support
The IPv6 socket address structure (28 bytes):
sin6_family(2 bytes): Address family (AF_INET6)sin6_port(2 bytes): Port number (network byte order)sin6_flowinfo(4 bytes): IPv6 flow informationsin6_addr(16 bytes): 128-bit IPv6 addresssin6_scope_id(4 bytes): Scope ID for link-local addresses
Helper Functions
make_sockaddr_in6(host: *i8, port: i64) -> *sockaddr_in6
- Creates an IPv6 socket address structure
- Converts string IPv6 address to binary format using
inet_pton(AF_INET6, ...) - Returns allocated pointer (caller must free)
make_sockaddr_any6(port: i64) -> *sockaddr_in6
- Creates IPv6 wildcard address (::) for listening on all interfaces
- Convenience wrapper around
make_sockaddr_in6(0, port)
3. TcpListener IPv6 Support
TcpListener.bind6(port: i64) -> TcpListener
- Creates and binds an IPv6 TCP listener
- Sets SO_REUSEADDR option for address reuse
- Listens on all IPv6 interfaces (::)
- Supports dual-stack mode by default (accepts IPv4 connections as ::ffff:x.x.x.x)
C-Style API:
tcp_listen6(port: i64) -> i64 # Returns file descriptor
4. TcpStream IPv6 Support
TcpStream.connect6(host: *i8, port: i64) -> TcpStream
- Connects to a remote IPv6 host
- Supports standard IPv6 addresses:
- Loopback:
::1 - Link-local:
fe80::1 - Global unicast:
2001:db8::1 - IPv4-mapped:
::ffff:192.0.2.1
- Loopback:
C-Style API:
tcp_connect6(host: *i8, port: i64) -> i64 # Returns file descriptor
5. UdpSocket IPv6 Support
UdpSocket.new6() -> UdpSocket
- Creates an unbound IPv6 UDP socket
UdpSocket.bind6(port: i64) -> UdpSocket
- Creates and binds an IPv6 UDP socket to a port
socket.send_to6(data: *i8, len: i64, host: *i8, port: i64) -> i64
- Sends data to an IPv6 address
- Returns bytes sent or -1 on error
socket.recv_from6(buffer: *i8, len: i64, src_addr_out: *i8, src_port_out: *i64) -> i64
- Receives data with source IPv6 address information
src_addr_outbuffer should be at least 46 bytes (max IPv6 string length)- Extracts source address and port from received packet
C-Style API:
udp_bind6(port: i64) -> i64
udp_send_to6(socket_fd: i64, data: *i8, len: i64, host: *i8, port: i64) -> i64
6. Utility Functions
is_valid_ip6(host: *i8) -> i64
- Validates IPv6 address string format
- Returns 1 if valid, 0 otherwise
- Uses
inet_pton(AF_INET6, ...)for validation
Platform Considerations
macOS vs Linux
AF_INET6: macOS = 30, Linux = 10- Current implementation uses macOS value (30)
- For cross-platform support, this should be detected at compile-time or runtime
Dual-Stack Behavior
- By default, IPv6 sockets accept both IPv4 and IPv6 connections
- IPv4 clients appear as IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses:
::ffff:x.x.x.x - To force IPv6-only mode, set
IPV6_V6ONLYsocket option to 1
Examples Created
1. /examples/ipv6_test.vais
Comprehensive test suite demonstrating:
- IPv6 address validation
- sockaddr_in6 structure creation
- TCP listener (IPv6)
- TCP client connection attempts
- UDP socket send/receive operations
- C-style API usage
2. /examples/ipv6_dual_stack.vais
Demonstrates dual-stack functionality:
- Creating listeners that accept both IPv4 and IPv6
- Setting IPV6_V6ONLY for IPv6-only mode
- Understanding IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses
API Consistency
All IPv6 functions follow the naming pattern of existing IPv4 functions with a 6 suffix:
bind()→bind6()connect()→connect6()send_to()→send_to6()recv_from()→recv_from6()tcp_listen()→tcp_listen6()tcp_connect()→tcp_connect6()udp_bind()→udp_bind6()
Documentation
Updated Files
std/net.vais: Added 200+ lines of IPv6 implementationROADMAP.md: Marked IPv6 support as completed, added recent changes sectiondocs/STDLIB.md: Added comprehensive networking section with IPv6 documentation- Examples: Created
ipv6_test.vaisandipv6_dual_stack.vais
Module Index
Added std/net to the standard library module index with key types: TcpListener, TcpStream, UdpSocket
Testing Recommendations
- IPv6 Address Validation: Test with various IPv6 formats
- Loopback Connections: Test TCP/UDP with
::1 - Dual-Stack Mode: Test IPv4 clients connecting to IPv6 sockets
- IPv6-Only Mode: Test with IPV6_V6ONLY set
- Link-Local Addresses: Test with
fe80::1(may require scope ID) - Cross-Platform: Test on both macOS and Linux for AF_INET6 compatibility
Future Enhancements
- Auto-detect AF_INET6: Use platform detection instead of hardcoded value
- Scope ID Support: Better handling of link-local addresses with scope IDs
- IPv6 Flow Information: Support for sin6_flowinfo field
- Address Resolution: DNS resolution with getaddrinfo for both IPv4/IPv6
- Network Interface Enumeration: List available IPv6 interfaces
Summary
This implementation provides complete parity between IPv4 and IPv6 networking in the Vais standard library. All core socket operations (TCP listen/connect, UDP bind/send/receive) now support both protocols, enabling modern network applications that can work across the full Internet Protocol spectrum.

Package Manager Design
Overview
This document describes the design of the Vais package manager (vais pkg), which provides dependency management through a vais.toml configuration file.
Goals
- Simple Configuration: Easy-to-understand
vais.tomlformat - Local Dependencies: Support for local path dependencies during development
- Version Management: Semantic versioning for packages
- Reproducible Builds: Lock file for deterministic dependency resolution
- Minimal Overhead: Fast resolution and compilation

Remove build artifacts.
vais pkg clean
vais pkg add
Add a dependency.
vais pkg add my-lib --path ../my-lib
# Future: vais pkg add json-parser@1.0.0
vais pkg remove
Remove a dependency.
vais pkg remove my-lib
Dependency Resolution
Phase 1 (Initial Implementation)
- Parse
vais.tomlto get dependencies - For each path dependency:
- Resolve the path relative to the current package
- Recursively process its
vais.toml - Build dependency graph
- Topological sort dependencies
- Compile in order (dependencies first)
Resolution Algorithm
function resolve(package):
deps = []
for each dependency in package.dependencies:
if dependency.path exists:
dep_package = load_toml(dependency.path / "vais.toml")
dep_deps = resolve(dep_package)
deps.extend(dep_deps)
deps.append(dep_package)
return deduplicate(deps)
Lock File Format
# vais.lock - DO NOT EDIT
# This file is automatically generated by the package manager
[[package]]
name = "my-lib"
path = "../my-lib"
checksum = "sha256:abc123..."
[[package]]
name = "other-lib"
path = "../other-lib"
checksum = "sha256:def456..."
Build Process
-
Dependency Resolution
- Parse vais.toml
- Resolve all dependencies (transitive)
- Check for cycles
- Generate topological order
-
Incremental Check
- Compare source checksums with .vais-cache
- Skip unchanged packages
-
Compilation
- For each package in order:
- Set include paths for dependencies
- Compile to .ll files
- Link with dependency objects
- For each package in order:
-
Linking
- Combine all objects
- Generate final binary
Module Resolution
When compiling with the package manager:
U my-lib/parser # Resolves to <my-lib-path>/src/parser.vais
U my-lib # Resolves to <my-lib-path>/src/lib.vais
Resolution order:
- Check dependencies in vais.toml
- If found, use the dependency's path
- Otherwise, fall back to relative path resolution

Error Handling
Common Errors
-
Missing vais.toml
error: could not find `vais.toml` in current directory or parent directories -
Invalid toml
error: failed to parse vais.toml --> vais.toml:5:1 | 5 | name = | ^ expected value -
Missing dependency
error: dependency `my-lib` not found --> vais.toml:8:1 | 8 | my-lib = { path = "../my-lib" } | path `../my-lib` does not exist -
Dependency cycle
error: cyclic dependency detected package-a -> package-b -> package-a
Example Usage
Creating a New Project
mkdir my-project && cd my-project
vais pkg init
# Edit vais.toml to add dependencies
# Create src/main.vais
vais pkg build
./target/my-project
Using a Local Library
# In library directory
cd my-lib
vais pkg init
# Create src/lib.vais with exports
# In application directory
cd my-app
vais pkg add my-lib --path ../my-lib
# Import in src/main.vais: U my-lib/utils
vais pkg build
Semantic Versioning
Vais uses semantic versioning (SemVer) for package version resolution:
Version Specifiers
- Caret (
^):^1.2.3— compatible updates (>=1.2.3, <2.0.0) - Tilde (
~):~1.2.3— patch updates only (>=1.2.3, <1.3.0) - Exact:
=1.2.3— exact version required - Wildcard:
1.*— any patch/minor within major version
Conflict Resolution
When multiple packages depend on different versions:
- Attempt to find a compatible version that satisfies all constraints
- If no compatible version exists, report a dependency conflict error
- Use the highest compatible version that satisfies all constraints
Diamond Dependencies
A
/ \
B C
\ /
D
If B depends on D ^1.0 and C depends on D ^1.2, resolve to highest compatible (e.g., D 1.5.0).
Pre-release Versions
Pre-release versions (e.g., 1.0.0-alpha.1) are only used if explicitly specified:
vais-json = "1.0.0-beta.3" # Must specify pre-release explicitly
Workspace Support
Workspaces allow managing multiple packages in a monorepo:
Workspace Configuration
# workspace-root/vais.toml
[workspace]
members = [
"crates/vais-core",
"crates/vais-utils",
"crates/vais-cli"
]
[workspace.dependencies]
# Shared dependencies for all workspace members
serde = "1.0"
Member Packages
# crates/vais-core/vais.toml
[package]
name = "vais-core"
version = "0.1.0"
[dependencies]
vais-utils = { workspace = true } # Use workspace member
serde = { workspace = true } # Use workspace dependency
Workspace Commands
vais pkg build --workspace # Build all workspace members
vais pkg test --workspace # Test all workspace members
Lockfile Format
The lockfile (vais.lock) ensures deterministic builds:
# vais.lock - DO NOT EDIT
# This file is automatically generated by the package manager
version = 1
[[package]]
name = "vais-json"
version = "1.2.3"
source = "registry+https://registry.vais.dev/"
checksum = "sha256:abc123def456..."
dependencies = [
"vais-core 0.1.0",
]
[[package]]
name = "vais-core"
version = "0.1.0"
source = "path+../vais-core"
checksum = "sha256:789xyz012..."
dependencies = []
Lockfile Properties
- Version — lockfile format version
- Deterministic — packages sorted alphabetically for stable diffs
- Checksums — SHA-256 hash of package contents
- Source — registry URL or local path
- Transitive — includes all transitive dependencies
Reproducible Builds
The lockfile guarantees:
- Same dependency versions across all developers
- Same build output given same source
- Protection against upstream changes
Registry E2E Testing
The package manager includes comprehensive end-to-end tests:
Test Categories (130 E2E tests)
- Init (5 tests) — package creation, default names, duplicate failures, roundtrip, build integration
- Install (6 tests) — path dependencies, transitive deps, binary installation, library failures
- Publish (3 tests) — request structure, archive creation, server unavailable handling
- SemVer (7 tests) — caret/tilde ranges, conflicts, diamond dependencies, pre-release handling
- Workspace (3 tests) — member management, inter-member dependencies, manifest parsing
- Lockfile (3 tests) — format validation, deterministic serialization, reproducible builds
- Templates (4 tests) — binary/library templates, gitignore generation, build verification
- Documentation (3 tests) — markdown generation, HTML output, error handling
Running E2E Tests
cargo test --package vaisc registry_e2e_tests
Future Considerations
- Features: Conditional compilation with feature flags
- Build Scripts: Custom build steps (
build.vais) - Binary Distribution: Pre-compiled packages for faster installation
- Mirrors: Alternative registry mirrors for reliability
- Private Registries: Enterprise-internal package hosting

None
}
5.2 CLI 옵션 추가
#[derive(Parser)]
struct Cli {
// ... 기존 옵션들
/// Disable all plugins
#[arg(long)]
no_plugins: bool,
/// Load additional plugin
#[arg(long, value_name = "PATH")]
plugin: Vec<PathBuf>,
}
6. 의존성
# crates/vais-plugin/Cargo.toml
[package]
name = "vais-plugin"
version = "0.0.1"
edition = "2021"
[dependencies]
vais-ast = { path = "../vais-ast" }
libloading = "0.8"
toml = "0.8"
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
7. 구현 계획
| 단계 | 작업 | 추천 모델 | 예상 라인 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | vais-plugin 크레이트 생성 (traits) | Sonnet | ~200 |
| 2 | 플러그인 로더 구현 | Sonnet | ~150 |
| 3 | 레지스트리 구현 | Sonnet | ~200 |
| 4 | 설정 파일 파서 | Haiku | ~100 |
| 5 | CLI 통합 | Sonnet | ~150 |
| 6 | 예제 플러그인 (complexity-lint) | Sonnet | ~150 |
| 7 | 테스트 및 검증 | Opus | ~100 |
8. 보안 고려사항
8.1 플러그인 실행 환경
- 플러그인은 컴파일러와 같은 프로세스에서 실행
- unsafe 코드 실행 가능 (동적 로딩 특성)
- 신뢰할 수 있는 플러그인만 사용 권장
8.2 안전 장치
- 플러그인 서명 검증 (향후 구현)
- 허용된 경로에서만 플러그인 로드
- 타임아웃 설정 (무한 루프 방지)
9. 향후 확장
9.1 플러그인 패키지 관리자
vaisc plugin install vais-lint-complexity
vaisc plugin list
vaisc plugin remove vais-lint-complexity
9.2 플러그인 레지스트리 (온라인)
- 중앙 플러그인 저장소
- 버전 관리 및 의존성 해결
- 보안 검증
9.3 WASM 플러그인
- WebAssembly 기반 샌드박스 실행
- 더 안전한 플러그인 실행
- 크로스 플랫폼 호환성
10. 결론
이 플러그인 시스템은 Vais 컴파일러의 확장성을 크게 향상시킵니다:
- Lint, Transform, Optimize, Codegen 4가지 확장 포인트
- 동적 로딩으로 컴파일러 재빌드 없이 기능 추가
- 설정 파일 기반으로 프로젝트별 플러그인 관리
Range 타입 구현
Range Type Implementation
Overview
This document describes the implementation of the Range<T> type in the VAIS type system.
Implementation Details
1. Type System (vais-types/src/lib.rs)
Added Range Variant to ResolvedType Enum
pub enum ResolvedType {
// ... other variants ...
Range(Box<ResolvedType>),
}
The Range type is parameterized over an inner type T, which must be an integer type.
Display Implementation
Added display formatting for Range types:
ResolvedType::Range(t) => write!(f, "Range<{}>", t)
Type Unification
Added Range handling to the unify method:
(ResolvedType::Range(a), ResolvedType::Range(b)) => self.unify(a, b)
This ensures that Range<i32> and Range<i64> can be unified according to integer conversion rules.
Substitution Application
Added Range handling to apply_substitutions:
ResolvedType::Range(inner) => {
ResolvedType::Range(Box::new(self.apply_substitutions(inner)))
}
2. Range Expression Type Checking
Implemented comprehensive type checking for Expr::Range { start, end, inclusive }:
Expr::Range { start, end, inclusive: _ } => {
let elem_type = if let Some(start_expr) = start {
let start_type = self.check_expr(start_expr)?;
// Ensure start is an integer type
if !start_type.is_integer() {
return Err(TypeError::Mismatch {
expected: "integer type".to_string(),
found: start_type.to_string(),
});
}
// If end is present, unify the types
if let Some(end_expr) = end {
let end_type = self.check_expr(end_expr)?;
if !end_type.is_integer() {
return Err(TypeError::Mismatch {
expected: "integer type".to_string(),
found: end_type.to_string(),
});
}
self.unify(&start_type, &end_type)?;
}
start_type
} else if let Some(end_expr) = end {
// Only end is present (e.g., ..10)
let end_type = self.check_expr(end_expr)?;
if !end_type.is_integer() {
return Err(TypeError::Mismatch {
expected: "integer type".to_string(),
found: end_type.to_string(),
});
}
end_type
} else {
// Neither start nor end (e.g., ..) - default to i64
ResolvedType::I64
};
Ok(ResolvedType::Range(Box::new(elem_type)))
}
Key features:
- Validates that start and end expressions are integer types
- Infers the range element type from start or end
- Unifies start and end types when both are present
- Defaults to
Range<i64>for unbounded ranges
3. Loop Iteration with Ranges
Enhanced loop type checking to support Range iteration:
Expr::Loop { pattern, iter, body } => {
self.push_scope();
if let (Some(pattern), Some(iter)) = (pattern, iter) {
let iter_type = self.check_expr(iter)?;
match iter_type {
ResolvedType::Array(elem_type) => {
if let Pattern::Ident(name) = &pattern.node {
self.define_var(name, *elem_type, false);
}
}
ResolvedType::Range(elem_type) => {
// Range<T> iterates over T values
if let Pattern::Ident(name) = &pattern.node {
self.define_var(name, *elem_type, false);
}
}
_ => {
// For other types, allow but don't bind pattern
}
}
}
self.check_block(body)?;
self.pop_scope();
Ok(ResolvedType::Unit)
}
This allows loops like L i:0..10 { } to properly infer that i has type i64.
4. Code Generation Support (vais-codegen/src/lib.rs)
Added Range type handling to LLVM type mapping:
ResolvedType::Range(_inner) => {
// Range is represented as a struct with start and end fields
// For now, we'll use a simple struct: { i64 start, i64 end, i1 inclusive }
"%Range".to_string()
}
Note: Full codegen support for range iteration is not yet implemented. Range values are represented as struct pointers in LLVM IR, but the iterator protocol and range iteration codegen are left for future work.
Supported Range Forms
The implementation supports all standard range syntax:
| Syntax | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
0..10 | Exclusive range from 0 to 9 | Range<i64> |
0..=10 | Inclusive range from 0 to 10 | Range<i64> |
..10 | Range from minimum to 9 | Range<i64> |
0.. | Range from 0 to maximum | Range<i64> |
.. | Unbounded range | Range<i64> |
a..b | Range with type inferred from a and b | Range<T> where T is integer type |
Type Safety
The implementation enforces several type safety constraints:
- Integer-only ranges: Start and end must be integer types (i8, i16, i32, i64, u8, u16, u32, u64)
- Type consistency: If both start and end are present, they must be unifiable
- Iterator type inference: Loop variables correctly receive the range element type
Examples
Valid Usage
# Basic range
r1 := 0..10 # Range<i64>
# Inclusive range
r2 := 1..=5 # Range<i64>
# Range iteration with type inference
L i:0..10 {
x := i + 5 # i is i64
}
Type Errors
# ERROR: String is not an integer type
r := "hello"..10 # Type error: expected integer type, found str
# ERROR: Mixing incompatible types
r := 0..3.14 # Type error: expected integer type, found f64
Future Work
- Range Iterator Codegen: Complete implementation of range iteration in LLVM IR generation
- Range Methods: Add methods like
contains,is_empty, etc. - Range Patterns: Support range patterns in match expressions
- Generic Ranges: Support ranges over custom types implementing iteration traits
- Step Ranges: Support ranges with custom step sizes
Files Modified
crates/vais-types/src/lib.rs: Core Range type implementationcrates/vais-codegen/src/lib.rs: LLVM type mapping for Range
Testing
The implementation passes all existing tests and correctly:
- Accepts valid range expressions
- Rejects non-integer types in ranges
- Infers correct types for loop variables
- Generates type-correct IR (codegen for iteration pending)

Vais Self-Hosting Design Document
버전: 0.1.0 작성일: 2026-01-21 목표: vaisc 컴파일러를 Vais 언어로 재작성하여 self-hosting 달성
1. 개요
1.1 Self-hosting이란?
Self-hosting 컴파일러는 자기 자신의 소스 코드를 컴파일할 수 있는 컴파일러입니다. 이를 통해:
- 언어의 성숙도 검증
- 컴파일러 개발에 해당 언어 자체 사용 가능
- 부트스트래핑 가능 (최소한의 외부 의존성)
1.2 현재 상태
현재: Rust로 작성된 vaisc
목표: Vais로 작성된 vaisc-vais
부트스트래핑 체인:
1. Rust vaisc (호스트 컴파일러)
2. vaisc-vais (Vais로 작성, Rust vaisc로 컴파일)
3. vaisc-vais2 (vaisc-vais로 자기 자신 컴파일)
1.3 구현 범위
| 컴포넌트 | 현재 (Rust) | 대상 (Vais) | LOC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lexer | vais-lexer | self/lexer.vais | ~500 |
| AST | vais-ast | self/ast.vais | ~800 |
| Parser | vais-parser | self/parser.vais | ~2000 |
| Type Checker | vais-types | self/types.vais | ~2500 |
| Code Generator | vais-codegen | self/codegen.vais | ~3500 |
| 총계 | ~9300 |

4. 부트스트래핑 전략
4.1 단계별 부트스트래핑
Stage 0: Rust vaisc (호스트 컴파일러)
│
│ 컴파일
▼
Stage 1: self/*.vais → vaisc-stage1 (첫 번째 Vais 컴파일러)
│
│ 자기 컴파일
▼
Stage 2: self/*.vais → vaisc-stage2 (Stage 1으로 컴파일)
│
│ 검증
▼
Stage 3: diff vaisc-stage1 vaisc-stage2 (바이너리 동일성 확인)
4.2 점진적 구현 전략
단계 1: Minimal Vais (MVP)
최소한의 언어 기능만 지원:
- 기본 타입 (i64, bool, str)
- 함수 정의 및 호출
- 변수 (let)
- 기본 연산자
- if/else
- 단순 루프
단계 2: Extended Vais
추가 기능:
- 구조체
- 열거형
- 메서드
- 패턴 매칭
단계 3: Full Vais
완전한 언어 기능:
- 제네릭
- 트레이트
- 비동기
- 클로저
4.3 테스트 전략
1. 단위 테스트
- 각 컴포넌트별 테스트
- Rust vaisc와 동일한 출력 검증
2. 통합 테스트
- examples/ 디렉토리의 모든 파일 컴파일
- 실행 결과 비교
3. 부트스트래핑 테스트
- Stage 1 == Stage 2 바이너리 동일성
- 3-way 비교 (Rust, Stage1, Stage2)
5. 현재 Vais 언어 제약사항 분석
5.1 Self-hosting에 필요하지만 누락된 기능
| 기능 | 상태 | 대안 |
|---|---|---|
| String interpolation | 없음 | format!() 함수 사용 |
| Raw string literals | 없음 | 이스케이프 시퀀스 사용 |
| Derive 매크로 | 없음 | 수동 구현 |
| 패턴 매칭 @ 바인딩 | 있음 | - |
5.2 표준 라이브러리 의존성
Self-hosting에 필요한 std 모듈:
std/vec.vais- 동적 배열std/hashmap.vais- 해시맵std/string.vais- 문자열 조작std/option.vais- Option 타입std/result.vais- Result 타입std/file.vais- 파일 I/O
6. 예상 일정
| Phase | 작업 | 기간 | 누적 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 기반 인프라 (Span, Error, Token) | 1주 | 1주 |
| 2 | Lexer | 1주 | 2주 |
| 3 | AST 정의 | 1주 | 3주 |
| 4 | Parser | 2주 | 5주 |
| 5 | Type Checker | 2주 | 7주 |
| 6 | Code Generator | 2주 | 9주 |
| 7 | CLI 및 통합 | 1주 | 10주 |
| 8 | 부트스트래핑 검증 | 1주 | 11주 |
총 예상 기간: 약 11주 (3개월)
7. 위험 요소 및 완화 방안
7.1 위험 요소
- 언어 기능 부족: Self-hosting에 필요한 기능이 Vais에 없을 수 있음
- 성능 문제: Vais로 작성된 컴파일러가 Rust 버전보다 느릴 수 있음
- 디버깅 어려움: 컴파일러가 자기 자신을 컴파일할 때 버그 추적이 어려움
7.2 완화 방안
- 점진적 구현: 최소 기능부터 시작하여 점진적으로 확장
- 철저한 테스트: 각 단계에서 Rust 버전과 동일한 출력 검증
- 상세한 로깅: 디버그 모드에서 상세한 중간 결과 출력
- 폴백 전략: 문제 발생 시 Rust 버전으로 폴백 가능

Import Path Security
Overview
The Vais compiler implements robust security measures to protect against malicious import paths that could be used to access unauthorized files or directories.
Security Threats Addressed
1. Path Traversal Attacks
Path traversal attacks attempt to escape allowed directories using sequences like ../ to access files outside the project:
// BLOCKED: Attempting to access system files
U ../../../etc/passwd
Protection: All import paths are canonicalized and validated to ensure they remain within:
- The current project directory
- The Vais standard library directory
2. Symlink Attacks
Symlinks could be used to create a seemingly safe path that actually points to sensitive system files:
# Attacker creates symlink
ln -s /etc/passwd myproject/safe_module.vais
// BLOCKED: Even though path looks safe, symlink target is validated
U safe_module
Protection: The compiler uses canonicalize() to resolve the real path after following all symlinks, then validates the actual target location.
3. Absolute Path Access
Direct absolute paths to system files:
// BLOCKED: Absolute paths to system locations
U /var/log/system.vais
Protection: Import paths are validated against allowed base directories.
Implementation Details
Security Validation Pipeline
- Path Construction: Module path segments are joined to form a file path
- Canonicalization:
std::fs::canonicalize()resolves symlinks and normalizes the path - Validation: The canonical path is checked against allowed directories:
- Project root (current working directory)
- Standard library path (VAIS_STD_PATH or auto-detected)
- Extension Check: Only
.vaisfiles are allowed
Code Location
The security implementation is in crates/vaisc/src/main.rs:
resolve_import_path(): Main entry point for import resolutionvalidate_and_canonicalize_import(): Security validation logic
Allowed Import Patterns
Local Module Imports
// ✓ Import from same directory
U utils
// ✓ Import from subdirectory
U modules::auth
Standard Library Imports
// ✓ Import from std library
U std/vec
U std/option
Relative Imports (Within Project)
// ✓ Import from parent directory (if within project root)
U ../common
Blocked Import Patterns
// ✗ Path traversal outside project
U ../../../etc/passwd
// ✗ Absolute system paths
U /etc/hosts
// ✗ Symlinks pointing outside allowed directories
U symlink_to_system_file
// ✗ Non-.vais files (even if accessible)
U malicious.txt
Error Messages
The compiler provides clear but security-conscious error messages:
error: Import path 'malicious' is outside allowed directories
error: Invalid import file type: 'config.txt' (only .vais files allowed)
error: Cannot find module 'nonexistent': tried 'nonexistent.vais' and 'nonexistent/mod.vais'
Testing
Comprehensive security tests are located in crates/vaisc/tests/import_security_tests.rs:
# Run security tests
cargo test --package vaisc --test import_security_tests
# Run all compiler tests
cargo test --package vaisc
Configuration
Standard Library Path
The standard library path can be configured via:
VAIS_STD_PATHenvironment variable- Relative to executable (for installed compiler)
- Auto-detection from project root (for development)
Example:
export VAIS_STD_PATH=/usr/local/lib/vais/std
vaisc build myprogram.vais
Security Considerations
Defense in Depth
The import security system implements multiple layers of protection:
- Parser Level: Restricts syntactically valid import paths
- Resolution Level: Validates constructed file paths
- Canonicalization: Resolves true file locations
- Access Control: Enforces directory boundaries
- Type Checking: Only allows
.vaissource files
Known Limitations
-
Symbolic Links Within Project: Symlinks that point to locations within the allowed directories are permitted. This is intentional to support common development practices.
-
TOCTOU Considerations: There's a theoretical time-of-check-time-of-use gap between validation and file reading. This is mitigated by:
- Using the canonical path for both validation and loading
- File system operations failing on permission errors
- The compiler running with user privileges (not elevated)
Best Practices
For Users
- Only compile code from trusted sources
- Review import statements in third-party modules
- Use relative imports within your project
- Keep the standard library in a protected location
For Plugin Developers
When developing compiler plugins:
- Use the standard import resolution API
- Don't bypass security checks
- Validate any paths received from user input
- Follow the principle of least privilege

Option API Reference
Represents an optional value:
Some(T)orNone
Import
U std/option
Overview
The Option<T> type is used to represent a value that may or may not be present. It is a generic enum with two variants:
Some(T): Contains a value of typeTNone: Represents the absence of a value
This is useful for functions that may fail to produce a value, or for representing nullable values in a type-safe way.
Enum Definition
E Option<T> {
None,
Some(T)
}
Methods
is_some
F is_some(&self) -> i64
Check if the option contains a value.
Returns: 1 if Some, 0 if None
Example:
x := Some(42)
I x.is_some() == 1 {
# x contains a value
}
is_none
F is_none(&self) -> i64
Check if the option is empty.
Returns: 1 if None, 0 if Some
Example:
y := None
I y.is_none() == 1 {
# y is empty
}
unwrap_or
F unwrap_or(&self, default: T) -> T
Extract the value from the option, or return a default value if None.
Parameters:
default: Value to return if the option isNone
Returns: The contained value if Some, otherwise default
Example:
x := Some(42)
y := None
val1 := x.unwrap_or(0) # val1 = 42
val2 := y.unwrap_or(0) # val2 = 0
Usage Examples
Basic Pattern Matching
U std/option
F divide(a: i64, b: i64) -> Option<i64> {
I b == 0 {
None
} E {
Some(a / b)
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
result := divide(10, 2)
M result {
Some(v) => v, # Returns 5
None => 0 # Returns 0 on division by zero
}
}
Using Methods
U std/option
F main() -> i64 {
x := Some(42)
y := None
# Check if option has a value
I x.is_some() == 1 {
# Process x
}
I y.is_none() == 1 {
# Handle empty case
}
# Safe unwrap with default
val := y.unwrap_or(10) # val = 10
0
}
Optional Function Return Values
U std/option
F find_first_positive(arr: i64, len: i64) -> Option<i64> {
i := 0
L i < len {
val := load_i64(arr + i * 8)
I val > 0 {
R Some(val)
}
i = i + 1
}
None
}
F main() -> i64 {
arr := malloc(5 * 8)
store_i64(arr, -1)
store_i64(arr + 8, 0)
store_i64(arr + 16, 5)
store_i64(arr + 24, 10)
store_i64(arr + 32, -3)
result := find_first_positive(arr, 5)
M result {
Some(v) => v, # Returns 5
None => -1 # Returns -1 if no positive found
}
free(arr)
0
}
Chaining Optional Operations
U std/option
F safe_divide(a: i64, b: i64) -> Option<i64> {
I b == 0 { None } E { Some(a / b) }
}
F main() -> i64 {
# First division
step1 := safe_divide(100, 5) # Some(20)
# Process result
final := M step1 {
Some(v) => safe_divide(v, 4), # Some(5)
None => None
}
# Extract with default
answer := M final {
Some(v) => v,
None => 0
}
# answer = 5
0
}
Using Options with User Input
U std/option
U std/io
F parse_positive_int() -> Option<i64> {
num := read_i64()
I num > 0 {
Some(num)
} E {
None
}
}
F main() -> i64 {
result := parse_positive_int()
I result.is_some() == 1 {
val := result.unwrap_or(0)
# Process valid input
} E {
# Handle invalid input
}
0
}
Generic Option with Different Types
U std/option
F main() -> i64 {
# Option<i64>
int_opt := Some(42)
int_val := int_opt.unwrap_or(0)
# Option<f64>
float_opt := Some(3.14)
float_val := float_opt.unwrap_or(0.0)
# Option can work with any type T
0
}
Best Practices
- Use pattern matching for explicit handling of both cases
- Use
unwrap_orwhen you have a sensible default value - Use
is_some/is_nonefor conditional checks before unwrapping - Return
Option<T>instead of using sentinel values (like -1 or null) to indicate failure - Prefer Option over nullable pointers for type safety

BTreeMap API Reference
Self-balancing ordered map using B-tree (stores i64 key-value pairs in sorted order)
Import
U std/btreemap
U std/option
Overview
The btreemap module provides a B-tree based ordered map implementation with:
- Sorted key storage (in-order traversal)
- Self-balancing structure (min degree t=2)
- Efficient search, insert, and iteration
- Free function API (no methods)
- Optional error handling via
Option<T>
Note: This implementation uses a free function API, not struct methods. The map is represented as an opaque pointer (i64).
Constants
- MIN_DEGREE: 2 (minimum degree t, so each node has at most 2*t-1 = 3 keys)
- MAX_KEYS: 3
- MAX_CHILDREN: 4
Data Structure
Internal Node Layout
Each B-tree node is 96 bytes:
[0]= num_keys (number of keys in this node)[8]= is_leaf (1 = leaf, 0 = internal)[16]= key[0][24]= value[0][32]= key[1][40]= value[1][48]= key[2][56]= value[2][64]= child[0] (pointer)[72]= child[1][80]= child[2][88]= child[3]
Map Layout
[0]= root node pointer[8]= size (number of entries)

IO API Reference
Standard input/output operations for reading from stdin
Import
U std/io
Overview
The IO module provides safe input operations with built-in buffer overflow protection. All input functions validate buffer parameters and enforce size limits to prevent memory corruption. The module depends on std/option for optional value handling.
Constants
| Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
INPUT_BUFFER_SIZE | 1024 | Default buffer size for input operations |
Core Functions
read_line
F read_line(buffer: i64, max_len: i64) -> i64

Parameters:
buffer: Destination buffer (must be pre-allocated)max_len: Maximum length including null terminator (1..=1048576)
Returns: Pointer to buffer on success, 0 on EOF/error
Safety: Caller must ensure buffer has at least max_len bytes allocated. The function validates max_len and clamps values above 1048576.
read_i64
F read_i64() -> i64
Read an integer from stdin.
Returns: The parsed integer value, or 0 if invalid input
Example:
num := read_i64()
read_f64
F read_f64() -> f64
Read a floating-point number from stdin.
Returns: The parsed float value, or 0.0 if invalid input
Example:
price := read_f64()
read_char
F read_char() -> i64
Read a single character from stdin.
Returns: The character as i64, or -1 on EOF
prompt_line
F prompt_line(prompt: i64, buffer: i64, max_len: i64) -> i64
Print a prompt and read a line from stdin.
Parameters:
prompt: Null-terminated string to displaybuffer: Destination buffermax_len: Maximum length
Returns: Pointer to buffer on success, 0 on error
Example:
buf := malloc(256)
prompt_line("Enter your name: ", buf, 256)
free(buf)
prompt_i64
F prompt_i64(prompt: i64) -> i64
Print a prompt and read an integer.
Parameters:
prompt: Null-terminated string to display
Returns: The integer value
Example:
age := prompt_i64("Enter age: ")
prompt_f64
F prompt_f64(prompt: i64) -> f64
Print a prompt and read a float.
Parameters:
prompt: Null-terminated string to display
Returns: The float value
Example:
height := prompt_f64("Enter height (m): ")
Extern C Functions
The following C library functions are available for advanced use:
| Function | Signature | Description |
|---|---|---|
get_stdin | X F get_stdin() -> i64 | Get stdin file handle |
fgets_ptr | X F fgets_ptr(buffer: i64, size: i64, stream: i64) -> i64 | Read line from stream |
atol_ptr | X F atol_ptr(s: i64) -> i64 | Convert string to i64 |
atof_ptr | X F atof_ptr(s: i64) -> f64 | Convert string to f64 |
getchar | X F getchar() -> i64 | Read single character |
Usage Examples
Basic Input
U std/io
F main() -> i64 {
# Read a number
age := prompt_i64("Enter your age: ")
# Read a float
gpa := prompt_f64("Enter GPA: ")
# Read a character
c := read_char()
0
}
Reading Lines
U std/io
F main() -> i64 {
buffer := malloc(256)
# Read a line with prompt
result := prompt_line("Enter text: ", buffer, 256)
I result != 0 {
# Successfully read input
puts_ptr(buffer)
}
free(buffer)
0
}
Input Validation Loop
U std/io
F main() -> i64 {
buf := malloc(100)
valid := 0
L valid == 0 {
prompt_line("Enter positive number: ", buf, 100)
num := atol_ptr(buf)
I num > 0 {
valid = 1
}
}
free(buf)
0
}
Safety Notes
- All buffers passed to
read_lineandprompt_linemust be pre-allocated with at leastmax_lenbytes - The
max_lenparameter is validated and clamped to the range 1..=1048576 - Trailing newlines are automatically removed from input

Notes
- HTTPS requires TLS support compiled into the runtime
- Connection pooling is only available for plain HTTP connections (not HTTPS)
- Default headers are applied to all requests sent through the client
- Redirects automatically convert POST/PUT/PATCH to GET for 301/302/303 status codes
- The client automatically adds default headers: User-Agent, Accept, Connection
- All strings returned by the API should be freed by the caller when appropriate
- Use
drop()methods to free allocated memory for requests, responses, and clients
HTTP Server API Reference
Advanced HTTP server framework with routing, middleware, and static files
Implementation: Requires C runtime (
http_server_runtime.c). For TLS support, link OpenSSL (-lssl -lcrypto).
Import

Overview
The runtime module provides three levels of async execution:
-
Basic Runtime: Single-threaded cooperative multitasking. Tasks poll until Pending, then yield to the next task.
-
Reactor Runtime: Event-driven I/O scheduler using kqueue/epoll. Tasks can wait for file descriptor readiness, timers, and other events.
-
Structured Concurrency: TaskGroup and ScopedTask ensure all spawned tasks complete before the scope exits, preventing orphaned tasks.
All runtimes use cooperative scheduling: tasks must explicitly yield by returning Pending. This provides predictable execution without preemption.

. | Match any character |
* | Zero or more of preceding |
+ | One or more of preceding |
? | Zero or one of preceding |
^ | Start anchor (must be at beginning) |
$ | End anchor (must be at end) |
[abc] | Character class (match a, b, or c) |
[^abc] | Negated character class (match any except a, b, c) |
[a-z] | Character range (match lowercase letters) |
\ | Escape next character |

puts("Contains vowel")
}
# Match non-digits
I regex_test("[^0-9]+", "abc") {
puts("No digits found")
}
# Match ranges
I regex_test("[a-z][A-Z]", "aB") {
puts("Lowercase followed by uppercase")
}
0
}
Quantifiers
U std/regex
F main() -> i64 {

# + = one or more
regex_test("ab+c", "ac") # 0 (needs at least one b)
regex_test("ab+c", "abc") # 1
# ? = zero or one
regex_test("ab?c", "ac") # 1 (zero b's)
regex_test("ab?c", "abc") # 1 (one b)
regex_test("ab?c", "abbc") # 0 (too many b's)
0
}
Anchors
U std/regex
F main() -> i64 {
# ^ = start of string
regex_test("^hello", "hello world") # 1
regex_test("^hello", "say hello") # 0
# $ = end of string

ctx.set_str("name", "World")
tmpl := Template::parse("Hello, {{ name }}!")
result := tmpl.render(&ctx)

ctx.free()
0
}
Quick Render (One-Shot)
U std/template
F main() -> i64 {
ctx := TemplateCtx::new().set_str("name", "Bob")
result := template_quick_render("Hi, {{ name }}!", &ctx)
# result is "Hi, Bob!"
ctx.free()
0
}
Single Variable Render
U std/template
F main() -> i64 {
result := template_render_var(
"Welcome, {{ user }}!",
"user",
"Charlie"
)
# result is "Welcome, Charlie!"
0
}
HTML Escaping
U std/template
F main() -> i64 {
unsafe := "<script>alert('XSS')</script>"
safe := html_escape(unsafe)
# safe is "<script>alert('XSS')</script>"
0
}
Applying Filters
U std/template

upper := apply_filter("hello", "upper") # "HELLO"
lower := apply_filter("WORLD", "lower") # "world"
trimmed := apply_filter(" hi ", "trim") # "hi"
len := apply_filter("test", "length") # "4"
0
}
Conditionals and Truthiness
U std/template
F main() -> i64 {
ctx := TemplateCtx::new()
.set_str("user", "Alice")
.set_str("admin", "")
# is_truthy returns 1 for non-empty, 0 for empty/"0"/"false"
has_user := ctx.is_truthy("user") # 1
is_admin := ctx.is_truthy("admin") # 0
ctx.free()
0
}
Performance Notes
- Templates are compiled once and can be rendered multiple times
- Rendering uses a 64KB preallocated buffer for performance
- Context variable lookup is O(n) with max 64 variables
- For repeated rendering, parse once and reuse the Template
Memory Management
- Template contexts and parsed templates must be explicitly freed
- Rendered strings are allocated and owned by caller
- Use
drop()methods for RAII-style cleanup template_quick_renderautomatically frees the templatetemplate_render_varautomatically frees both template and context

The ORM module provides a lightweight ORM for Vais with:
- Schema and column definition with types, constraints, and defaults
- Fluent QueryBuilder for SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
- SQL injection prevention via runtime escaping
- WHERE clause building with AND/OR operators
- ORDER BY, LIMIT, OFFSET support
- Migration up/down support for schema versioning
- Compatible with SQLite and PostgreSQL

Allocator API Reference
Custom memory allocator traits and implementations for flexible allocation strategies
Import
U std/allocator
Overview
The allocator module provides foundation types and multiple allocation strategies:
- Global allocator - Wraps system malloc/free with alignment
- Bump allocator - Fast linear allocation, bulk reset
- Pool allocator - Fixed-size blocks with O(1) alloc/free
- Free list allocator - General-purpose with first-fit allocation
- Stack allocator - LIFO allocation with efficient pop
All allocators support explicit memory management with pointer-based state mutation.

Memory Management
- All allocators must be explicitly freed with
drop()or convenience functions Allocation.ptrreturns 0 on allocation failure- Allocators mutate their state through
&selfreferences from_buffer()creates non-owning bump allocators- Free list allocator includes 16-byte headers for each allocation
- Stack allocator includes 8-byte headers for each allocation

# Use arena for temporary allocations
# ...
# Reset without freeing buffer
arena.reset()
# Manually free buffer when done
free(buffer)
0
}
Allocator Selection
Choose allocator based on allocation pattern:

Generational GC Theory
Two-Generation Model
- Young Generation: New objects allocated here. Fast, frequent collections.
- Old Generation: Long-lived objects promoted here. Slower, less frequent collections.
Collection Types
-
Minor GC: Collects young generation only
- Fast (small heap region)
- Frequent (low threshold)
- Promotes survivors to old generation
-
Major GC: Collects both generations
- Slower (entire heap)
- Infrequent (high threshold)
- Thorough cleanup
-
Full GC: Minor followed by major
- Most thorough
- Use for complete cleanup
Write Barrier
When modifying old-generation objects to point to young-generation objects, call the write barrier to maintain GC correctness.
Required: Old object pointing to young object Not required: Young object pointing to any object, old object pointing to old object
Promotion
Objects surviving promotion_age minor collections are promoted from young to old generation.
- Low promotion age: Objects promoted quickly (less young gen pressure)
- High promotion age: Objects stay in young gen longer (more thorough filtering)
Performance Considerations
Basic GC
- Collection Time: O(reachable objects)
- Threshold: Controls collection frequency vs pause time
- Best for: Simple applications, predictable allocation patterns
Generational GC
- Minor GC Time: O(young objects) - typically 10-100x faster than full GC
- Major GC Time: O(all objects)
- Best for: Applications with many short-lived objects (most programs)
Tuning Guidelines
| Scenario | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Real-time, low latency | Low-latency preset, small young gen |
| High allocation rate | Throughput preset, large young gen |
| Mixed workload | Balanced preset (default) |
| Memory constrained | Small thresholds, frequent GC |
| CPU constrained | Large thresholds, less frequent GC |
Memory Management
- Roots: Must explicitly register/unregister stack and global pointers
- Type IDs: Optional tagging for debugging (not used for collection)
- Thresholds: Automatic collection triggered when threshold exceeded
- Manual Collection: Force collection anytime with
gc_collect()orgen_gc_collect_* - Thread Safety: GC is not thread-safe; use external synchronization
Advanced Usage
Mixing Allocators
U std/gc
U std/allocator
F main() -> i64 {
gc_init()
# GC for dynamic data structures
tree_node := gc_alloc_simple(32)
gc_add_root(tree_node)
# Pool allocator for fixed-size temporary objects
pool := PoolAllocator::new(64, 100)
temp := pool.alloc()
# Each allocator manages its own memory
pool.drop()
gc_remove_root(tree_node)
0
}
Hybrid Manual/GC Management
U std/gc
F main() -> i64 {
gen_gc_init()
# Long-lived objects: GC-managed
global_cache := gen_gc_alloc(1024, 1)
gen_gc_add_root(global_cache)
# Short-lived objects: Manual malloc/free
temp := malloc(256)
# ... use temp ...
free(temp)
gen_gc_remove_root(global_cache)
0
}
Debugging Tips
- Use
gc_print_stats()/gen_gc_print_stats()to monitor GC behavior - Track
collectionscount to detect over-collection - Monitor
bytes_allocatedfor memory leaks (growing despite collections) - For generational GC, check promotion rate via
total_promoted - High minor collection count with low promotion = good (short-lived objects)
- High major collection count = may need larger old generation threshold

Overview
The profiler module provides multiple profiling approaches:
- Timer: Manual high-resolution timing for specific code sections
- Profiler: Automatic instrumentation with enter/exit markers
- MemoryProfiler: Track allocations, deallocations, and memory usage
- SampleProfiler: Statistical profiling with periodic stack sampling
- FlameGraphBuilder: Generate flame graph visualization data
All profilers use nanosecond-resolution timing and support nested/recursive profiling. The global profiler instances allow easy integration without passing profiler objects through the call chain.

Contract API Reference
Design-by-contract support (requires/ensures/invariant)
Import
This module is used internally by the compiler. It should not be imported directly.
Constants
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
CONTRACT_REQUIRES | 1 | Precondition violation |
CONTRACT_ENSURES | 2 | Postcondition violation |
CONTRACT_INVARIANT | 3 | Invariant violation |
Functions
__contract_fail
F __contract_fail(kind: i64, condition: str, file: str, line: i64, func: str) -> i64
Called by the compiler when a contract is violated. Prints diagnostic information and exits the program.
Parameters:
kind- Type of contract (1=requires, 2=ensures, 3=invariant)condition- The condition that failed (as string)file- Source file nameline- Source line numberfunc- Function name
Returns: 0 (but calls exit(1) before returning)
__panic
F __panic(msg: str) -> i64
Simpler panic function for contract failures. Prints error message and exits.
Parameters:
msg- Error message to display
Returns: 0 (but calls exit(1) before returning)
Overview
The contract module provides runtime support for formal verification through design-by-contract principles. When contract annotations (requires, ensures, invariant) are violated at runtime, the compiler automatically inserts calls to __contract_fail which:
- Identifies the type of contract violation
- Prints the failed condition and location
- Terminates the program with exit code 1
This enables defensive programming with preconditions (requires), postconditions (ensures), and invariants.
Example Output
When a contract is violated, output looks like:
Contract violation: precondition failed
Condition: x > 0
Location: math.vais:42 in function 'sqrt'
GPU API Reference

Notes
- Kernel-side functions (thread_idx_, atomic_, etc.) are replaced by the GPU codegen backend. Host-side placeholders return dummy values.
- Host-side functions (gpu_alloc, gpu_launch_kernel, etc.) are extern C functions linked from
gpu_runtime.c. - Compile with
--gpu cudafor NVIDIA,--gpu metalfor Apple, or--gpu openclfor cross-platform. - Memory pointers returned by
gpu_allocare device pointers and cannot be dereferenced on the host. - Always call
gpu_synchronize()before reading results back to the host. - SIMD functions (AVX-512, AVX2, NEON) are CPU-side optimizations, not GPU kernels.

--target wasm32-unknown-unknowncompilation. Provides polyfill functions for WASM environments.
Import
U std/wasm
Overview
The wasm module provides WebAssembly-specific memory management, I/O, and WASI bindings. It is designed for programs compiled to the wasm32-unknown-unknown target and includes polyfills for standard library functions that are unavailable in the WASM environment.
Constants
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
WASM_TARGET | 1 | WASM environment flag |
WASM_PAGE_SIZE | 65536 | WASM memory page size (64KB) |
WASM_STDIN | 0 | Standard input fd (WASI) |
WASM_STDOUT | 1 | Standard output fd (WASI) |
WASM_STDERR | 2 | Standard error fd (WASI) |
WASI_NS | 0 | wasi_snapshot_preview1 namespace |
ENV_NS | 1 | env namespace (custom host functions) |
Memory Management

F wasm_memory_grow(pages: i64) -> i64
Grow memory by N pages. Returns previous size or -1 on failure.
I/O Functions
The module provides WASI-compatible I/O functions for writing to stdout/stderr within a WebAssembly environment.
Example
U std/wasm
F main() {
# Check memory size
pages := wasm_memory_size()
total_bytes := pages * WASM_PAGE_SIZE
# Grow memory
old_pages := wasm_memory_grow(1)
}
WASI Preview 2 API Reference

References
Web API Reference
Browser API bindings for WebAssembly (DOM, console, timers, fetch, storage)
Implementation: WASM-only module. Requires
--target wasm32-unknown-unknowncompilation and a browser/JS host environment. Functions call JavaScript APIs via WASM imports.
Import
U std/web
Overview
The web module provides browser API bindings for Vais programs compiled to WebAssembly. It exposes DOM manipulation, console output, timers, fetch, and local storage through #[wasm_import("env", ...)] declarations.
Note: This module requires the WASM target (--target wasm32-unknown-unknown) and host-provided JavaScript imports.
Safety: DOM handles (i64) are opaque references managed by the JavaScript host. Invalid handles may cause JavaScript exceptions.
Console API
F log_str(msg: str) -> i64 # Write to browser console
F console_warn(msg: str) -> i64 # Console warning
F console_error(msg: str) -> i64 # Console error

F set_text_content(elem: i64, text: str) # Set element text
F set_inner_html(elem: i64, html: str) # Set element innerHTML
F create_element(tag: str) -> i64 # Create new element
F append_child(parent: i64, child: i64) # Append child element
F set_attribute(elem: i64, name: str, value: str) # Set attribute
F get_attribute(elem: i64, name: str) -> str # Get attribute
F add_event_listener(elem: i64, event: str, handler: i64) # Add event listener
Timer API
F set_timeout(handler: i64, ms: i64) -> i64 # Schedule callback
F set_interval(handler: i64, ms: i64) -> i64 # Schedule repeating callback
F clear_timeout(id: i64) # Cancel timeout
F clear_interval(id: i64) # Cancel interval
Fetch API
F fetch(url: str, callback: i64) -> i64 # HTTP fetch with callback
Storage API
F local_storage_get(key: str) -> str # Get from localStorage
F local_storage_set(key: str, value: str) # Set in localStorage
F local_storage_remove(key: str) # Remove from localStorage
Example
U std/web
F main() {
log_str("Hello from Vais!")
elem := get_element_by_id("app")
set_text_content(elem, "Welcome to Vais WASM")
set_attribute(elem, "class", "active")

Code Style Guidelines
Rust Code Standards
We follow standard Rust conventions. All code must:
-
Format with
cargo fmtcargo fmt --allThis is required before submitting a PR.
-
Pass
cargo clippycargo clippy --all --all-targets -- -D warningsNo compiler warnings are allowed.
-
Be well-documented
- Add doc comments to public types and functions
- Use markdown in doc comments for clarity
/// Computes the Fibonacci number for n. /// /// # Arguments /// /// * `n` - A non-negative integer /// /// # Returns /// /// The n-th Fibonacci number pub fn fibonacci(n: u64) -> u64 { // implementation } -
Be thoroughly tested
- Write unit tests for new functionality
- Add integration tests for language features
- Aim for high code coverage in critical paths
Naming Conventions
- Functions and variables:
snake_case - Types and structs:
PascalCase - Constants:
UPPER_SNAKE_CASE - Private helpers: prefix with
_if unused
Example Code Guidelines
Example .vais files should:
- Demonstrate clear, idiomatic Vais code
- Include comments explaining key concepts
- Be executable and tested
- Follow the LANGUAGE_SPEC.md

Async Type Checking Improvements
Overview
Enhanced the VAIS type checker to properly validate async/await operations with comprehensive Future type checking.
Changes Made
1. Added Future Type to Type System
File: crates/vais-types/src/lib.rs
- Added
Future(Box<ResolvedType>)variant to theResolvedTypeenum - Updated
Displaytrait implementation to showFuture<T>in type messages - Added Future type unification in the
unify()function
2. Async Function Type Handling
Files: crates/vais-types/src/lib.rs, crates/vais-types/src/traits.rs
- Modified
lookup_var_info()to wrap async function return types inFuture<T> - Updated
SelfCallexpression handling to returnFuture<T>for async functions - Enhanced method call handling to return
Future<T>for async methods - Added
is_asyncfield toTraitMethodSigstruct for trait method support
3. Enhanced Await Expression Type Checking
File: crates/vais-types/src/lib.rs
Replaced the TODO comment with proper implementation:
Expr::Await(inner) => {
let inner_type = self.check_expr(inner)?;
// Verify that the inner expression is a Future type
if let ResolvedType::Future(output_type) = inner_type {
// Extract and return the inner type from Future<T>
Ok(*output_type)
} else {
Err(TypeError::Mismatch {
expected: "Future<T>".to_string(),
found: inner_type.to_string(),
})
}
}
What This Ensures
1. Async Functions Return Future Types
When you call an async function without .await, you get a Future<T> type:
A F compute(x: i64) -> i64 {
x * 2
}
F main() -> i64 {
fut := compute(42) # Type: Future<i64>
result := fut.await # Type: i64
}
2. Await Only Works on Futures
You cannot use .await on non-Future types:
F sync_func() -> i64 { 42 }
F main() -> i64 {
sync_func().await # ERROR: expected Future<T>, found i64
}
3. Futures Cannot Be Used Directly
Future values must be awaited before use:
A F async_func() -> i64 { 42 }
F main() -> i64 {
async_func() + 10 # ERROR: expected numeric, found Future<i64>
}
4. Type Safety for Future Output Types
The type checker correctly infers and validates the output type of awaited Futures:
A F get_number() -> i64 { 42 }
F main() -> i64 {
result := get_number().await # result has type i64, not Future<i64>
result + 10 # OK: i64 + i64
}
Test Results
Valid Async Usage (✓)
$ vaisc check examples/async_test.vais
OK No errors found
Invalid Await on Non-Future (✗)
$ vaisc check test_await_on_sync.vais
error: Type error: Type mismatch: expected Future<T>, found i64
Invalid Future Arithmetic (✗)
$ vaisc check test_future_arithmetic.vais
error: Type error: Type mismatch: expected numeric, found Future<i64>
Implementation Details
Type Wrapping Strategy
- Async functions are typed as
(params) -> Future<T>instead of(params) -> T - This happens automatically when looking up function signatures for async functions
- The type wrapper is added in three places:
- Function reference lookup (
lookup_var_info) - Self-call expression (
@) - Method call expressions (both struct and trait methods)
- Function reference lookup (
Future Type Inference
- When
.awaitis used, the type checker extracts the inner type fromFuture<T> - This allows proper type inference for chained operations
- Example:
async_fn().await + 10correctly infers both the Future extraction and numeric operation
Method Support
- Both struct methods and trait methods can be async
- The
is_asyncflag is checked during method call type checking - Trait methods have
is_asyncfield prepared for future AST support (currently defaults tofalse)
Benefits
- Compile-time Safety: Catches async/await misuse before runtime
- Better Error Messages: Clear type mismatch errors with Future types shown explicitly
- Type Inference: Proper propagation of types through await expressions
- Consistency: Async type checking follows the same patterns as Optional and Result types
- Future-proof: Infrastructure ready for more advanced async patterns
Notes
- The TODO comment
// TODO: Proper async type checkinghas been removed - All existing async examples continue to work correctly
- Type checking is fully compatible with the existing state-machine based async implementation

2. Name Mangling (src/cpp/mangling.rs)
Handles C++ name mangling according to Itanium ABI:
pub struct NameMangler {
abi: ManglingAbi,
}
impl NameMangler {
pub fn mangle_function(&self, func: &CppFunction) -> String {
// Generate mangled name following Itanium ABI
// Example: void foo(int) -> _Z3fooi
let mut result = String::from("_Z");
// Add name length + name
result.push_str(&func.name.len().to_string());
result.push_str(&func.name);
// Add parameter types
for param in &func.params {
result.push_str(&self.mangle_type(¶m.ty));
}
result
}
fn mangle_type(&self, ty: &CppType) -> &str {
match ty {
CppType::Int => "i",
CppType::Long => "l",
CppType::Float => "f",
CppType::Double => "d",
CppType::Pointer(inner) => &format!("P{}", self.mangle_type(inner)),
// ... more types
}
}
}
Mangling Support:
- Fundamental types (int, float, etc.)
- Pointers and references
- Const qualification
- Namespaces
- Basic templates
- Function parameters
3. Type Conversion (src/cpp/types.rs)
Maps C++ types to Vais types:
pub fn cpp_to_vais_type(cpp_type: &CppType) -> VaisType {
match cpp_type {
CppType::Int => VaisType::I32,
CppType::Long => VaisType::I64,
CppType::Float => VaisType::F32,
CppType::Double => VaisType::F64,
CppType::Bool => VaisType::Bool,
CppType::Pointer(inner) => VaisType::Pointer(Box::new(cpp_to_vais_type(inner))),
CppType::Reference(inner) => VaisType::Pointer(Box::new(cpp_to_vais_type(inner))),
CppType::Class(name) => VaisType::Struct(name.clone()),
CppType::Void => VaisType::Void,
// ... more mappings
}
}
Type Mappings:
| C++ Type | Vais Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| int, int32_t | i32 | 32-bit signed |
| long, int64_t | i64 | 64-bit signed |
| unsigned int | u32 | 32-bit unsigned |
| unsigned long | u64 | 64-bit unsigned |
| float | f32 | 32-bit float |
| double | f64 | 64-bit float |
| bool | bool | Boolean |
| void | void | Unit type |
| T* | *T | Pointer |
| T& | *T | Reference (as pointer) |
| const T | T | Const ignored |
| std::string | String | String type |
std::vector<T> | Vec<T> | Dynamic array |
4. Class Handling (src/cpp/classes.rs)
Converts C++ classes to Vais structs and impl blocks:
pub struct ClassGenerator {
name_mangler: NameMangler,
}
impl ClassGenerator {
pub fn generate_class(&self, class: &CppClass) -> VaisCode {
let mut code = String::new();
// Generate struct definition
code.push_str(&format!("S {} {{\n", class.name));
for field in &class.fields {
code.push_str(&format!(" {}: {},\n", field.name, field.ty));
}
code.push_str("}\n\n");
// Generate extern declarations for methods
for method in &class.methods {
let mangled = self.name_mangler.mangle_method(&class.name, method);
code.push_str(&format!("extern F {}(", mangled));
// Add 'this' pointer
code.push_str(&format!("self: *{}", class.name));
// Add parameters
for param in &method.params {
code.push_str(&format!(", {}: {}", param.name, param.ty));
}
code.push_str(&format!(") -> {}\n", method.return_type));
}
// Generate impl block with wrapper methods
code.push_str(&format!("\nimpl {} {{\n", class.name));
for method in &class.methods {
self.generate_method_wrapper(&mut code, class, method);
}
code.push_str("}\n");
code
}
}
5. Template Handling (src/cpp/templates.rs)
Basic template instantiation support:
pub struct TemplateInstantiator {
instantiations: HashMap<String, Vec<CppType>>,
}
impl TemplateInstantiator {
pub fn instantiate(&self, template: &CppTemplate, args: &[CppType]) -> CppClass {
// Generate concrete class from template
// Example: std::vector<int> -> VectorInt
let mut class = template.base_class.clone();
class.name = format!("{}{}", template.name, self.mangle_template_args(args));
// Substitute template parameters with concrete types
for field in &mut class.fields {
field.ty = self.substitute_type(&field.ty, &template.params, args);
}
class
}
}
Limitations:
- Only simple template instantiations
- No variadic templates
- No template specialization
- Manual instantiation required
6. Namespace Handling (src/cpp/namespaces.rs)
Maps C++ namespaces to Vais modules:
pub fn generate_namespace(ns: &CppNamespace) -> String {
let mut code = String::new();
// Generate module comment
code.push_str(&format!("# Namespace: {}\n\n", ns.name));
// Generate all declarations in namespace
for item in &ns.items {
match item {
NamespaceItem::Function(func) => {
code.push_str(&generate_function(func, &ns.name));
}
NamespaceItem::Class(class) => {
code.push_str(&generate_class(class));
}
// ... more items
}
}
code
}
7. Operator Overloading (src/cpp/operators.rs)
Converts C++ operator overloads to Vais methods:
pub fn convert_operator(op: &CppOperator) -> String {
let method_name = match op.kind {
OperatorKind::Plus => "add",
OperatorKind::Minus => "sub",
OperatorKind::Star => "mul",
OperatorKind::Slash => "div",
OperatorKind::EqualEqual => "eq",
OperatorKind::BangEqual => "ne",
OperatorKind::Less => "lt",
OperatorKind::Greater => "gt",
OperatorKind::Index => "index",
// ... more operators
};
// Generate method in impl block
format!("F {}(self: *{}, other: {}) -> {}",
method_name, op.class, op.param_type, op.return_type)
}
Usage Examples
Simple C++ Class
Input (math.hpp):
class Vector2 {
public:
double x, y;
Vector2(double x, double y);
double length() const;
Vector2 add(const Vector2& other) const;
};
double distance(const Vector2& a, const Vector2& b);
Command:
vaisc bindgen math.hpp -o math.vais --cpp
Output (math.vais):
# C++ bindings for math.hpp
S Vector2 {
x: f64,
y: f64,
}
# Constructor: Vector2(double, double)
extern F _ZN7Vector2C1Edd(self: *Vector2, x: f64, y: f64) -> void
# Method: length()
extern F _ZNK7Vector26lengthEv(self: *Vector2) -> f64
# Method: add(const Vector2&)
extern F _ZNK7Vector23addERKS_(self: *Vector2, other: *Vector2) -> Vector2
# Function: distance(const Vector2&, const Vector2&)
extern F _Z8distanceRK7Vector2S1_(a: *Vector2, b: *Vector2) -> f64
impl Vector2 {
F new(x: f64, y: f64) -> Vector2 {
v := Vector2 { x: 0.0, y: 0.0 }
_ZN7Vector2C1Edd(&v, x, y)
v
}
F length(self: *Vector2) -> f64 {
_ZNK7Vector26lengthEv(self)
}
F add(self: *Vector2, other: *Vector2) -> Vector2 {
_ZNK7Vector23addERKS_(self, other)
}
}
F distance(a: *Vector2, b: *Vector2) -> f64 {
_Z8distanceRK7Vector2S1_(a, b)
}
Using Generated Bindings
U math
F main() -> i64 {
v1 := Vector2::new(3.0, 4.0)
v2 := Vector2::new(1.0, 2.0)
len := v1.length()
printf("Length: %f\n", len)
v3 := v1.add(&v2)
printf("Sum: (%f, %f)\n", v3.x, v3.y)
dist := distance(&v1, &v2)
printf("Distance: %f\n", dist)
0
}

# Create C++ header
cat > test.hpp << 'EOF'
class Calculator {
public:
int add(int a, int b) { return a + b; }
int mul(int a, int b) { return a * b; }
};
EOF

Limitations
Not Supported
- Complex Templates: Only basic template instantiations
- Multiple Inheritance: Single inheritance only
- Virtual Functions: No vtable support
- Exceptions: Use error codes instead
- RTTI: No runtime type information
- Smart Pointers: Manual conversion needed
- Move Semantics: Treated as copy
Workarounds
For unsupported features:
- Use
extern "C"for simple C interface - Manually write wrapper functions
- Use simple struct-based designs
Performance
Binding Generation Speed
- Small headers (<100 decl): ~50-100ms
- Medium headers (100-1000 decl): ~100-500ms
- Large headers (>1000 decl): ~500ms-2s
Runtime Overhead
- Function calls: Same as C++ (zero overhead)
- Name mangling: Compile-time only
- Type conversions: Zero-cost
Best Practices
1. Use extern "C" When Possible
extern "C" {
void simple_function(int x);
}
// Easier to bind than mangled C++ names
2. Avoid Complex Templates
// Good: simple class
class Point { int x, y; };
// Avoid: complex template
template<typename T, int N, template<typename> class Allocator>
class ComplexContainer { };
3. Provide C-style Constructors
class MyClass {
public:
static MyClass* create(int arg) {
return new MyClass(arg);
}
};

GC 구현
Garbage Collection Implementation Summary
Overview
A complete optional garbage collection system has been implemented for the Vais programming language. The GC provides automatic memory management for REPL and scripting environments while maintaining the option for manual memory management in performance-critical code.
Components Implemented
1. vais-gc Crate (/crates/vais-gc/)
Core GC Implementation in Rust:
- GC Algorithm: Mark-and-Sweep with conservative pointer scanning
- Heap Management:
GcHeapmanages all GC-allocated objects - Object Tracking: Each object has a header with metadata
- Root Management: Tracks roots to prevent premature collection
- Statistics: Provides allocation and collection metrics
Files:
src/lib.rs- Module exports and global GC initializationsrc/gc.rs- Core GC algorithm (mark, sweep, allocation)src/allocator.rs- GC allocator traitsrc/ffi.rs- C FFI functions for LLVM integrationtests/gc_tests.rs- Comprehensive unit tests (9 tests, all passing)
2. Runtime Module (/std/gc.vais)
Vais API for GC:
# Core functions
gc_init() # Initialize GC
gc_alloc(size, type_id) # Allocate GC memory
gc_collect() # Force collection
gc_set_threshold(bytes) # Configure threshold
# Statistics
gc_bytes_allocated() # Current allocation
gc_objects_count() # Live object count
gc_collections() # Collection count
gc_print_stats() # Print statistics
3. Codegen Integration (/crates/vais-codegen/)
Updates:
- Added
gc_enabledandgc_thresholdfields toCodeGenerator enable_gc()andset_gc_threshold()methodshas_gc_attribute()- Check for #[gc] attributegenerate_alloc()- Generate GC allocation calls- Registered GC FFI functions in builtins
Modified Files:
src/lib.rs- GC configuration fields and methodssrc/builtins.rs- GC function registrations
4. CLI Support (/crates/vaisc/)
New Options:
vaisc build program.vais --gc # Enable GC
vaisc build program.vais --gc-threshold 2097152 # Set 2MB threshold
Modified Files:
src/main.rs- Added--gcand--gc-thresholdflags
5. Tests and Examples
Unit Tests:
/crates/vais-gc/tests/gc_tests.rs- 9 Rust tests (100% passing)
Integration Tests:
-
/examples/gc_test.vais- Comprehensive GC functionality tests- Basic allocation
- GC statistics
- Manual collection
- Root registration
- Threshold behavior
- Large allocations
- Memory stress testing
-
/examples/gc_vec_test.vais- GC-managed vector implementation- Dynamic growth
- Root management
- Real-world usage example
6. Documentation
Created:
/crates/vais-gc/README.md- GC crate documentation/docs/gc-implementation.md- Detailed implementation guide- This summary document
Technical Details
Algorithm: Mark-and-Sweep
Mark Phase:
- Clear all mark bits
- Starting from roots, recursively mark reachable objects
- Conservative scanning: treat any value that looks like a pointer as a pointer
Sweep Phase:
- Iterate through all objects
- Free unmarked objects
- Update statistics
Memory Layout
Object in memory:
[GcObjectHeader: 24 bytes][User Data: N bytes]
Header contents:
- size: usize (8 bytes)
- marked: bool (1 byte + padding)
- ref_count: usize (8 bytes)
- type_id: u32 (4 bytes)
Performance Characteristics
- Allocation: O(1)
- Collection: O(n) where n = number of objects
- Memory overhead: 24 bytes per object
- Default threshold: 1 MB (configurable)
Usage Examples
Basic Usage
U std/gc
F main() -> i64 {
gc_init()
# Allocate GC-managed memory
ptr := gc_alloc(1024, 0)
# Use ptr...
# No free() needed - GC handles it
gc_collect()
0
}
With Statistics
F test() -> i64 {
gc_init()
gc_set_threshold(4096) # 4KB threshold
i := 0
L i < 10 {
data := gc_alloc(1024, 0)
i = i + 1
}
gc_print_stats()
0
}
Future: Automatic GC Mode
# Will be supported in future versions
#[gc]
F process_data() -> i64 {
# All allocations automatically GC-managed
vec := Vec.new()
vec.push(42)
# No manual memory management needed
0
}

Components
1. vais-hotreload Crate
Location: /Users/sswoo/study/projects/vais/crates/vais-hotreload/
A standalone Rust crate providing hot reload infrastructure.
Modules
- error.rs: Error types and Result alias
- file_watcher.rs: File system monitoring using
notifycrate - dylib_loader.rs: Dynamic library loading/unloading using
libloading - reloader.rs: High-level orchestration of watching and reloading
Key Features
- Cross-platform support (macOS, Linux, Windows)
- Automatic file watching with debouncing (configurable, default 100ms)
- Version management with automatic cleanup
- Function symbol lookup
- Reload callbacks for custom logic
Dependencies
notify = "6.1": File system notificationslibloading = "0.8": Dynamic library loadingthiserror = "1.0": Error handling
2. Runtime Module
Location: /Users/sswoo/study/projects/vais/std/hot.vais
Vais standard library module providing runtime hot reload API.
Functions
hot_init(path: *i8) -> i64: Initialize hot reloadhot_check() -> i64: Check for changes and reloadhot_reload() -> i64: Manually trigger reloadhot_version() -> i64: Get current version numberhot_on_reload(callback: fn(i64) -> void) -> i64: Set reload callbackhot_cleanup() -> i64: Cleanup resourceshot_start(source_path: *i8) -> i64: Higher-level inithot_loop(update_fn: fn() -> i64) -> i64: Main loop helper
3. Parser Support
Location: /Users/sswoo/study/projects/vais/crates/vais-parser/
The parser already supported attributes, so no changes were needed. The #[hot] attribute is parsed automatically.
Example
#[hot]
F game_update(state: *GameState) -> i64 {
# This function can be hot-reloaded
0
}
4. Compiler Integration
Location: /Users/sswoo/study/projects/vais/crates/vaisc/src/main.rs
New CLI Flags
Build Command:
vaisc build --hot game.vais
Package Build:
vaisc pkg build --hot
Watch Command (NEW):
vaisc watch game.vais
vaisc watch game.vais --exec ./game
vaisc watch game.vais --exec ./game -- arg1 arg2
Implementation Details
- --hot flag: When enabled, passes
-shared -fPICto clang - Output naming: Generates
lib{name}.{ext}(dylib/so/dll) - Watch mode: Uses
notifycrate to monitor file changes - Debouncing: Prevents excessive recompilation (100ms window)
- Error handling: Shows compilation errors without stopping watch
5. Code Generation
Location: /Users/sswoo/study/projects/vais/crates/vais-codegen/
Changes
- Added support for
--hotflag in compile_to_native - Dylib generation with
-shared -fPICflags - Function pointer table generation (for future enhancement)
Example Generated Command
clang -O0 -shared -fPIC -o libgame.dylib game.ll
Usage Examples
Simple Example
File: examples/hot_reload_simple.vais
S GameState {
frame: i64,
x: i64,
y: i64,
}
#[hot]
F game_update(state: *GameState) -> i64 {
state.frame = state.frame + 1
state.x = state.x + 1
state.y = state.y + 2
printf("Frame %d: x=%d, y=%d\n", state.frame, state.x, state.y)
0
}
F main() -> i64 {
state := GameState { frame: 0, x: 0, y: 0 }
L state.frame < 1000 {
game_update(&state)
usleep(16666)
}
0
}

Components Implemented
1. WASM Target Support (crates/vais-codegen/)
Files Modified:
src/lib.rs- WASM32 target detectionsrc/wasm.rs- WASM-specific codegen (NEW)
Features:
- WASM32 triple support (
wasm32-unknown-unknown,wasm32-wasi) - Memory layout adjustments for WASM
- Import/export declarations
- WASM intrinsics
Implementation:
impl CodeGenerator {
fn is_wasm_target(&self) -> bool {
self.target_triple.contains("wasm32")
}
fn generate_wasm_export(&mut self, func: &Function) {
// Generate WASM export annotation
let llvm_func = self.functions.get(func.name);
llvm_func.set_linkage(Linkage::External);
}
}
2. Component Adapter Generation
Tool Integration:
Uses wasm-tools component for adapter generation.
Workflow:
- Compile to core WASM
- Generate WIT interface
- Create component adapters
- Link into final component
Command:
vaisc build program.vais --target wasm32-wasi --component
3. WIT Interface Support
WIT Generator (crates/vais-codegen/src/wit.rs - NEW):
Generates WIT interfaces from Vais code:
pub struct WitGenerator {
module_name: String,
interfaces: Vec<WitInterface>,
}
impl WitGenerator {
pub fn generate_from_ast(&mut self, ast: &Module) -> String {
// Generate WIT from AST
}
fn convert_function(&self, func: &Function) -> WitFunction {
// Convert Vais function to WIT function
}
}
Generated WIT:
package vais:mymodule
interface mymodule {
add: func(a: s32, b: s32) -> s32
process: func(data: string) -> result<string, string>
}
world mymodule {
export mymodule
}
4. Type System Adaptations (crates/vais-types/)
Component Model Type Mappings:
pub fn to_component_type(vais_type: &ResolvedType) -> ComponentType {
match vais_type {
ResolvedType::I32 => ComponentType::S32,
ResolvedType::String => ComponentType::String,
ResolvedType::Optional(inner) => ComponentType::Option(Box::new(to_component_type(inner))),
ResolvedType::Result(ok, err) => ComponentType::Result {
ok: Box::new(to_component_type(ok)),
err: Box::new(to_component_type(err)),
},
// ... more mappings
}
}
Files Modified:
src/lib.rs- Component type conversionssrc/component.rs- Component-specific type checking (NEW)
5. CLI Integration (crates/vaisc/)
New Flags:
vaisc build program.vais --target wasm32-wasi # Core WASM
vaisc build program.vais --target wasm32-wasi --component # WASM Component
vaisc wit-export program.vais -o interface.wit # Export WIT
vaisc wit-import interface.wit -o bindings.vais # Import WIT
Implementation:
// In src/main.rs
if args.component {
// Build core WASM first
let core_wasm = compile_to_wasm(&source, &args)?;
// Generate WIT interface
let wit = generate_wit_from_ast(&ast)?;
// Create component with adapters
let component = create_component(&core_wasm, &wit)?;
write_output(&component, &output_path)?;
}
6. Runtime Support (crates/vais-dynload/)
WASM Sandbox Execution:
Uses wasmtime for secure component execution:
use wasmtime::{Engine, Store, Component};
use wasmtime_wasi::WasiCtx;
pub struct WasmRuntime {
engine: Engine,
linker: Linker<WasiCtx>,
}
impl WasmRuntime {
pub fn load_component(&mut self, path: &Path) -> Result<Component> {
let bytes = std::fs::read(path)?;
Component::from_binary(&self.engine, &bytes)
}
pub fn instantiate(&mut self, component: &Component) -> Result<Instance> {
self.linker.instantiate(&mut self.store, component)
}
}
Sandbox Features:
- Memory limits
- CPU time limits
- Capability-based security
- WASI Preview 2 support
7. Playground Integration
Web Compilation (playground/):
Uses WASM component for client-side compilation:
// playground/src/compiler.ts
import { instantiate } from './vais-compiler.component.js';
const compiler = await instantiate();
export async function compileVais(code: string): Promise<CompileResult> {
return compiler.compile(code);
}
Features:
- Browser-based compilation
- No server round-trip needed
- Isolated execution
- Share compiled components
8. Standard Library WASM Support (std/)
WASI Modules:
std/wasi/fs.vais- File system (WASI)std/wasi/net.vais- Networking (WASI Preview 2)std/wasi/io.vais- I/O streamsstd/wasi/random.vais- Random numbers
Example: std/wasi/fs.vais
# WASI file system bindings
import wasi::filesystem/types
F fs_open(path: String, flags: u32) -> Result<u32, String> {
# Call WASI filesystem open
}
F fs_read(fd: u32, buf: *u8, len: u64) -> Result<u64, String> {
# Call WASI filesystem read
}
Testing
Unit Tests
Test Coverage:
cargo test -p vais-codegen -- wasm

result := greet("WASM")
printf("%s\n", result)
0
}
Build:
vaisc build examples/wasm_hello.vais --component -o hello.wasm

F add(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 { a + b }
F sub(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 { a - b }
App Component (examples/wasm_app.vais):
import calc::{ add, sub }
F compute() -> i32 {
x := add(10, 20)
y := sub(x, 5)
y
}
Compose:
vaisc build wasm_calc.vais --component -o calc.wasm
vaisc build wasm_app.vais --component -o app.wasm
wasm-tools compose -d calc.wasm -o composed.wasm app.wasm

3. Async/Await
Challenge: Async in WASM without threads
Solution:
- State-machine transformation
- WASI async support
- Future composition
4. Binary Size
Challenge: Large WASM binaries
Solution:
- Dead code elimination
- LTO (Link-Time Optimization)
- wasm-opt post-processing
Known Limitations
- No multi-threading (WASM threads experimental)
- Limited reflection (Component Model constraint)
- No dynamic linking (Components are self-contained)
- File size (Larger than native for small programs)
Future Enhancements
Short Term
- WASI 0.3 support
- Better optimization passes
- Source maps for debugging
- Streaming compilation
Long Term
- WASM GC integration
- Exception handling proposal
- Component versioning
- Hot-reloading components

리팩토링 요약
Vais 프로젝트 코드 중복 제거 및 모듈화 작업
개요
이 작업은 Vais 프로젝트의 코드 중복을 제거하고 공통 유틸리티를 모듈화하여 코드 품질을 향상시키기 위한 것입니다.
주요 변경 사항
1. type_to_llvm 캐싱 (Type Conversion Caching)
목표
동일한 타입을 여러 번 LLVM 타입 문자열로 변환하는 중복 계산을 제거하여 성능 향상
구현 내용
파일: crates/vais-codegen/src/lib.rs
CodeGenerator구조체에 새 필드 추가:// Cache for type_to_llvm conversions to avoid repeated computations // Uses interior mutability to allow caching through immutable references type_to_llvm_cache: std::cell::RefCell<HashMap<String, String>>,
파일: crates/vais-codegen/src/types.rs
-
type_to_llvm()메서드를 두 부분으로 나눔:type_to_llvm(&self, ty: &ResolvedType): 캐싱 레이어 (공개 API)type_to_llvm_impl(&self, ty: &ResolvedType): 실제 구현 (내부용)
-
캐싱 메커니즘:
Interior Mutability패턴 사용 (RefCell)으로 불변 참조에서 캐시 수정 가능- 타입을 Debug 문자열로 변환하여 캐시 키로 사용
- 첫 호출 시: 타입 변환 후 캐시에 저장
- 이후 호출: 캐시에서 직접 반환
성능 향상
- 반복 타입 변환 제거: 동일한 타입에 대한 계산을 한 번만 수행
- 메모리 효율: 캐시된 문자열 재사용으로 메모리 할당 감소
- 컴파일 시간 개선: 특히 제네릭 타입과 복합 타입에서 효율성 증가
기술적 특징
- 역호환성 보장: 기존 API는 그대로 유지
- Interior Mutability: 불변 참조 정책 유지하면서 캐싱 구현
- 스레드 안전성: 각
CodeGenerator인스턴스는 독립적인 캐시 보유
2. 에러 포맷팅 통합 모듈
목표
흩어져 있는 에러 포맷팅 로직을 중앙화하여 코드 중복 제거 및 유지보수성 향상
구현 내용
파일: crates/vaisc/src/error_formatter.rs (신규)
새로운 모듈은 다음을 포함합니다:
-
ErrorFormatContext 구조체
pub struct ErrorFormatContext { pub source: String, pub path: PathBuf, }- 에러 포맷팅에 필요한 모든 컨텍스트 정보 보유
- 소스 코드와 파일 경로 포함
-
FormattableError 트레이트
pub trait FormattableError { fn format_with_context(&self, context: &ErrorFormatContext) -> String; fn error_code(&self) -> &str; fn error_title(&self) -> String; fn error_message(&self) -> String; fn error_help(&self) -> Option<String>; fn error_span(&self) -> Option<Span>; }- 다양한 에러 타입이 구현할 수 있는 통일된 인터페이스
-
구현된 에러 타입
TypeError: 타입 체크 에러ParseError: 파싱 에러- 향후 다른 에러 타입도 쉽게 추가 가능

헬퍼 함수
pub fn format_type_error(error: &TypeError, source: &str, path: &PathBuf) -> String pub fn format_parse_error(error: &ParseError, source: &str, path: &PathBuf) -> String pub fn format_error<E: FormattableError>(error: &E, source: &str, path: &PathBuf) -> String
변경된 파일
파일: crates/vaisc/src/main.rs
- 기존
format_type_error(),format_parse_error()함수 제거 (200+ 줄 감소) - 모든 에러 포맷팅 호출을
error_formatter모듈로 통합
변경 사항:
// 이전:
return Err(format_type_error(&e, &main_source, input));
// 현재:
return Err(error_formatter::format_type_error(&e, &main_source, input));
이점
- 코드 중복 제거: 37줄의 중복된 포맷팅 로직 제거
- 유지보수성 향상: 한 곳에서 모든 에러 포맷팅 로직 관리

기술적 결정
Interior Mutability 선택 이유
- 불변 참조 정책 유지 (Rust API 관례)
- 캐싱은 순수 성능 최적화로 외부에서 관찰 불가능
- 스레드 안전성 제공 (단일 스레드 환경에서)
디버그 표현 사용 이유
- 타입 전체 구조 포함 (중첩된 제네릭 등)
- 동일한 타입 구조는 동일한 캐시 키 생성
- 구성 가능한 키 (nested types 지원)
성능 영향
캐싱의 이점
- 타입 변환 횟수 감소: 코드 생성 중 동일 타입 반복 변환 제거
- 메모리 효율: 생성된 LLVM 타입 문자열 재사용
- 컴파일 시간: 복잡한 제네릭 타입 처리 시 부하 감소
측정 가능한 개선
- 기본 타입 변환: O(1) 캐시 조회로 매우 빠름
- 복합 타입 변환: 첫 호출 시만 계산 수행
- 메모리: 캐시 오버헤드 < 절약된 메모리
호환성
변경 전후 호환성
- API 호환성: 100% 유지 (기존 함수 서명 동일)
- 동작 호환성: 모든 기존 테스트 통과
- 마이그레이션: 별도 작업 불필요
향후 개선 사항
캐싱 개선
- 캐시 통계: 히트율, 크기 모니터링

- 캐시 프리팹: 컴파일 시작 시 공통 타입 사전 로드
에러 포맷팅 확장
- 코드젠 에러: CodeGen 특정 에러 추가
- 로컬라이제이션: 현재 i18n 지원 확대
- 풍부한 진단: LSP 통합을 위한 구조화된 진단
코드 품질 개선
메트릭
- 코드 중복 제거: ~50줄 감소
- 순환 복잡도: 에러 포맷팅 로직 단순화
- 테스트 커버리지: 9개 새 테스트 추가
- 문서화: 모든 공개 API에 문서 추가
유지보수성
- 중앙화된 에러 처리
- 명확한 캐싱 메커니즘

결론
이 작업은 Vais 컴파일러의 코드 품질을 향상시키고 성능을 개선했습니다:
- type_to_llvm 캐싱: 반복 계산 제거로 성능 향상
- 에러 포맷팅 통합: 코드 중복 제거 및 유지보수성 향상
- 포괄적 테스트: 9개의 새 테스트로 안정성 검증

Production Readiness Checklist
This comprehensive checklist ensures your Vais application is production-ready. It covers all Phase 33 features and critical infrastructure components.
1. TLS/HTTPS Configuration
Certificate Setup
- Obtain valid TLS certificate (PEM format)
- Configure certificate chain correctly
- Store private key securely with proper file permissions (0600)
- Set up certificate renewal process before expiration
-
Test certificate validity with OpenSSL:
openssl x509 -in cert.pem -text -noout
CA Bundle Configuration
- Specify system CA bundle path or include custom CA certificates
- Verify CA chain completeness with intermediate certificates
-
Test chain validation:
openssl verify -CAfile ca-bundle.pem cert.pem - Document CA bundle source and update schedule
Server-Side TLS (HTTPS Server)
- Configure TLS version (minimum TLS 1.2)
- Enable certificate-based authentication
- Bind HTTPS listener to correct port (typically 443)
- Load certificates in application startup
- Implement certificate hot-reloading for zero-downtime updates
Example TLS server configuration:
F create_tls_server(cert_path: Str, key_path: Str, port: i32) -> Server {
L server := Server::with_tls(cert_path, key_path)
L _ := server.bind("0.0.0.0", port)
R server
}
Client-Side TLS (HTTPS Client)
- Configure client certificate verification
- Set appropriate certificate verification mode
- Handle certificate validation errors gracefully
- Implement custom CA bundle for client requests
- Test HTTPS client with self-signed certificates in development
Example HTTPS client configuration:
F fetch_secure(url: Str, ca_bundle: Str) -> Result<Str> {
L client := Client::with_ca_bundle(ca_bundle)
L response := client.get(url)?
R response.body()
}
Certificate Verification Modes
- Production: Strict verification (verify both hostname and certificate chain)
- Staging: Standard verification with proper error logging
- Development: Allow custom CA or self-signed (document security implications)
- Monitoring: Log all certificate validation failures
Dependencies
- Verify OpenSSL or LibreSSL is installed and accessible
-
Check system library paths:
pkg-config --cflags openssl - Pin dependency versions in Cargo.lock
- Document native dependency installation instructions
2. Cross-Platform Async I/O
Platform Support Matrix
| Platform | Reactor | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| macOS | kqueue | Recommended | Efficient, well-tested |
| Linux | epoll | Recommended | High-performance, standard |
| Windows | IOCP | Supported | I/O Completion Ports |
| BSD | kqueue | Supported | Similar to macOS |
- Test async I/O on all target platforms
- Verify platform detection works correctly
- Document platform-specific performance characteristics
Reactor Configuration
-
Call
async_platform()to detect and initialize correct reactor - Set appropriate reactor timeout values
- Configure event queue sizes for workload
- Tune reactor thread pool size (typically CPU count)
Example reactor initialization:
F setup_async_runtime() -> Result<()> {
L platform := async_platform()
I platform == "kqueue" {
L _ := setup_kqueue_reactor()
} E I platform == "epoll" {
L _ := setup_epoll_reactor()
} E {
R Err("Unsupported platform")
}
R Ok(())
}
Timer Setup
- Configure timer precision (millisecond vs microsecond)
- Test timeout accuracy under load
- Implement timer sweep mechanism for cleanup
- Document timer resolution limitations per platform
Event Loop Best Practices
-
Never block in async code (use
spawn_blockingfor CPU-bound work) - Keep event loop iterations short
- Monitor event loop latency with tracing
- Implement fair scheduling between tasks
- Use structured concurrency (limit concurrent tasks)
Platform Detection
-
Use
async_platform()function to detect runtime environment - Cache platform detection result at startup
- Document all supported reactor names
F main() {
L platform := async_platform()
L _ := println("Running on: {}", platform)
}
3. Package Registry
Registry Server Deployment
Docker Deployment
- Build registry server Docker image

-
Run tests before publishing:
cargo test
Example Vais.toml:
[package]
name = "my-lib"
version = "0.1.0"
authors = ["Your Name"]
description = "Brief description"
repository = "https://github.com/user/my-lib"
[dependencies]
# List dependencies here
Publishing command:
vais publish --registry https://registry.vais.dev
-
Sign package with key:
vais publish --sign-key ./key.pem - Verify successful publication on registry
- Test dependency resolution
Installing Dependencies
-
Configure
.vais/config.tomlwith registry URL - Set up authentication credentials (username/password or token)
-
Test
vais installwith various package sources
Example installing with credentials:
vais install --registry https://registry.vais.dev \
--username user \
--token ${REGISTRY_TOKEN}
-
Implement lock file (
Vais.lock) for reproducible builds - Document dependency update process
- Set up dependency security scanning
Semantic Versioning Constraints
Supported version constraint operators:
| Operator | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
^ | ^1.2.3 | Compatible release: >=1.2.3, <2.0.0 |
~ | ~1.2.3 | Patch release: >=1.2.3, <1.3.0 |
>= | >=1.2.3 | At least this version |
<= | <=2.0.0 | At most this version |
= | =1.2.3 | Exact version |
* | 1.2.* | Any patch version |
- Document version constraint strategy
- Test resolution with conflicting constraints
- Configure version preference (latest stable vs specific)
Package Signing and Verification
-
Generate signing key pair:
vais-registry generate-keys - Store private key securely (encrypted at rest)
- Configure registry to verify SHA-256 hashes
- Implement signature verification in package manager
SHA-256 verification:
sha256sum package.tar.gz > package.tar.gz.sha256
vais publish --signature-file package.tar.gz.sha256
- Document key rotation procedures
- Test signature verification on client side
Authentication (JWT Tokens)
- Configure JWT token generation in registry
- Set token expiration (recommended: 24-48 hours)
- Implement token refresh mechanism
- Store JWT secret securely
JWT configuration:
F authenticate(username: Str, password: Str) -> Result<JwtToken> {
L validated := validate_credentials(username, password)?
L token := JwtToken::new(username, 24h)
R Ok(token)
}
- Use HTTPS-only for authentication endpoints
- Implement rate limiting on auth endpoints
- Log all authentication attempts
- Monitor for token theft/misuse
4. Debugging (DAP)
VSCode Launch Configuration
Create .vscode/launch.json:
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Debug Vais Program",
"type": "vais",
"request": "launch",
"program": "${workspaceFolder}/bin/myapp",
"args": ["--verbose"],
"stopOnEntry": false,
"console": "integratedTerminal",
"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
},
{
"name": "Attach to Process",
"type": "vais",
"request": "attach",
"processId": "${command:pickProcess}"
}
]
}
Configuration checklist:
-
Set correct
programpath to compiled binary - Configure command-line arguments if needed
- Choose appropriate console (integratedTerminal, internalConsole, externalTerminal)
- Set working directory correctly
- Test launch configuration with simple program first
Breakpoint Management
- Set line breakpoints by clicking gutter in VSCode
- Set conditional breakpoints: right-click line → Add Conditional Breakpoint
Example conditional breakpoint expression:
i > 100 && error_code == 42
-
Set logpoints for non-intrusive debugging:
Iteration {i}: value={value} - Manage breakpoints in Debug panel (enable/disable/delete)
- Test breakpoint persistence across debug sessions
- Clear breakpoints before production code review
Variable Inspection
- Inspect local variables in debug panel
- Expand complex types (structs, enums) to view fields
- Use Watch panel to track specific variables across execution
- Format variables: hover over variable for tooltip
- View memory representation if needed
Watch expression examples:
my_struct.field
array[index]
map.get("key")
Step Debugging
- Step Over (F10): Execute current line, skip function bodies
- Step Into (F11): Enter function calls to debug inner logic
- Step Out (Shift+F11): Return from current function
- Continue (F5): Resume execution to next breakpoint
- Pause (F6): Interrupt execution to inspect state
Step debugging best practices:
- Use step-over for high-level control flow
- Use step-into when investigating specific functions
- Combine with variable watches for efficiency
- Document steps needed to reproduce issues
Call Stack Inspection
- View full call stack in Debug panel
- Click stack frames to navigate function calls
- Identify the call path that led to current location
- Check for infinite recursion patterns
- Monitor for stack overflow conditions
Call stack analysis:
- Verify expected function call order
- Check parameter values at each stack level
- Look for unexpected function calls
- Document complex call paths for code review
5. Structured Logging
Log Levels
Configure logging with appropriate levels:
| Level | Usage | Example |
|---|---|---|
| TRACE | Extremely detailed debugging | Individual field values, loop iterations |
| DEBUG | Development and debugging | Function entry/exit, state changes |
| INFO | Important application events | Server startup, configuration loaded |
| WARN | Warning conditions | Deprecated API usage, fallbacks triggered |
| ERROR | Error conditions | Failed requests, exceptions |
Example log level configuration:
F setup_logging() -> Result<()> {
L logger := Logger::new()
L _ := logger.set_level(LogLevel::INFO)
L _ := logger.set_format(LogFormat::Json)
R Ok(())
}
- Set appropriate default log level (INFO for production)
- Allow runtime log level adjustment via environment variable
- Document log level meanings for your application
JSON Output Format
Enable JSON output for log aggregation systems:
{
"timestamp": "2025-02-04T12:34:56.789Z",
"level": "INFO",
"message": "Request processed",
"target": "vais::server",
"span": "request_id=abc123",
"request_method": "GET",
"request_path": "/api/users",
"response_status": 200,
"duration_ms": 42
}
Configuration:
L _ := logger.set_format(LogFormat::Json)
- Enable JSON format for production deployments
- Configure log aggregation (ELK, Datadog, CloudWatch)
- Test log parsing with aggregation system
- Monitor JSON formatting correctness
File Output Configuration
-
Configure log file path:
/var/log/myapp/vais.log - Set up log rotation (daily, by size)
- Configure retention policy (keep last 30 days)
- Ensure log directory has correct permissions
- Set up separate error log file if needed
Example file configuration:
F setup_file_logging() -> Result<()> {
L logger := Logger::new()
L _ := logger.set_output_file("/var/log/myapp/vais.log")
L _ := logger.set_rotation_policy(RotationPolicy::Daily)
L _ := logger.set_retention_days(30)
R Ok(())
}
- Test log file creation and rotation
- Monitor disk space usage
- Implement automated archival of old logs
Span-Based Tracing
Use spans to track request flow across components:
F handle_request(req_id: Str) {
L _ := span!("handle_request", request_id = req_id, {
L _ := authenticate_user()
L _ := process_data()
L _ := send_response()
})
}
- Create spans for major operations
- Use unique request IDs for tracing
- Include context in span fields
- Test span correlation across services
- Document span naming convention
Structured Fields
Include structured key=value fields in logs:
F log_request(method: Str, path: Str, status: i32, duration_ms: i64) {
L _ := info!("Request completed";
request_method = method,
request_path = path,
response_status = status,
duration_ms = duration_ms
)
}
Benefits:
- Easier log searching and filtering
- Better integration with log aggregation systems
- More maintainable than string formatting
- Performance benefits from pre-structured data
Structured field examples:
- User context:
user_id,username,organization_id - Request context:
request_id,session_id,trace_id - Performance:
duration_ms,memory_bytes,cpu_percent - Errors:
error_type,error_code,error_message
6. Compression
Gzip Compression
- Enable gzip compression for HTTP responses
- Configure minimum content size to compress (default 1KB)
- Test compression with various content types
- Verify client accepts gzip (Accept-Encoding header)
Example gzip configuration:
F create_gzip_middleware(min_size: usize) -> Middleware {
R Middleware::gzip()
.min_compress_size(min_size)
.quality(GzipQuality::Default)
}
Configuration checklist:
- Enable gzip for text content (HTML, CSS, JSON, XML)
- Disable gzip for already-compressed content (JPEG, PNG, MP4)
- Test compression ratio and performance impact
- Monitor CPU usage under compression load
Deflate Compression
- Consider deflate for compatibility with older clients
- Test deflate compression if required by clients
- Document compression algorithm preference
Deflate is less common but may be needed for legacy systems:
I request.accepts_deflate() {
L _ := response.set_compression(CompressionType::Deflate)
}
Streaming Compression
For large responses:
- Implement chunked transfer encoding
- Compress data in streaming fashion
- Monitor memory usage with streaming
- Test timeout handling for long-running streams
Streaming example:
F stream_large_file(path: Str) -> Stream<u8> {
L file := File::open(path)?
L compressed := GzipStream::new(file)
R Stream::from(compressed)
}
Compression Levels
Configure compression trade-offs:
| Level | Speed | Ratio | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fast (1-3) | Very fast | 60-70% | Real-time APIs, low latency |
| Default (6) | Balanced | 75-80% | General purpose (recommended) |
| Best (9) | Slow | 85-90% | Static assets, batch processing |
- Use default compression for general APIs
- Use fast compression for real-time data
- Use best compression for static assets
- Benchmark compression levels for workload
- Document compression strategy decision
Dependencies
-
Ensure zlib is installed:
pkg-config --cflags zlib - Verify zlib library paths
- Test compression on all platforms
- Document zlib version requirements
7. Performance Tuning
Compilation Optimization Flags
Configure release build optimizations:
[profile.release]
opt-level = 3 # Maximum optimization
lto = true # Enable Link Time Optimization
codegen-units = 1 # Slower build, faster binary
strip = true # Strip debug symbols
panic = "abort" # Smaller binary (no panic unwinding)
Optimization checklist:
- Enable LTO for production builds
- Set codegen-units to 1 for maximum optimization
- Test binary size impact
- Benchmark performance improvements
- Document build time impact
Inkwell Backend (Default)
The default code generator provides ~36% faster compilation:
-
Verify Inkwell is enabled:
cargo build --features inkwell -
Test compilation time:
time cargo build --release - Compare with alternative backends if available
- Monitor memory usage during compilation
- Document compilation performance expectations
Tail Call Optimization
- Identify tail-recursive functions in code
- Ensure functions end with direct recursive call
- Verify tail calls are optimized: check LLVM IR
- Test for stack overflow prevention
Tail call example:
F factorial_tail(n: i32, acc: i32) -> i32 {
I n <= 1 {
R acc
}
R factorial_tail(n - 1, acc * n) # Tail call - optimized
}
Inlining Thresholds
- Set appropriate inline threshold in compiler flags
- Profile hot functions for inlining candidates
- Avoid excessive inlining (code bloat)
- Test binary size impact
- Document inlining strategy
MIR Optimization Pipeline
The Mid-level IR optimizer applies multiple passes:
- Verify MIR optimization is enabled
- Monitor optimization pass performance
- Test optimization impact on code correctness
- Profile specific optimization passes if slow
- Document any optimization-related issues
MIR optimizations include:
- Constant folding
- Dead code elimination
- Common subexpression elimination
- Function inlining
- Loop unrolling (with limits)
8. Security Checklist
TLS Minimum Version
- Set minimum TLS version to 1.2 or higher
- Disable older protocols (SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1)
- Document TLS version policy
- Test with SSL Labs or similar tool
Configuration example:
F create_secure_server() -> Server {
L server := Server::new()
L _ := server.set_min_tls_version("1.2")
L _ := server.set_max_tls_version("1.3")
R server
}
Certificate Validation
- Validate certificate chain against CA bundles
- Verify certificate expiration date
- Check certificate issuer validity
- Validate certificate subject matches domain
- Implement certificate pinning for sensitive connections
Validation checklist:
- Test valid certificates pass validation
- Test expired certificates are rejected
- Test certificates with wrong domain are rejected
- Test self-signed certificates (in development only)
- Test certificate chain validation
SQL Injection Prevention (ORM Auto-Escaping)
The Vais ORM automatically escapes all parameters:
# Safe - parameter automatically escaped
L users := User::find_by_name(user_input)
# Safe - parameterized query
L users := db.query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = ?", user_input)
# Unsafe - string concatenation (NEVER do this)
# L users := db.query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = '" + user_input + "'")
ORM Security measures:
- Use ORM query builder methods (preferred)
- Use parameterized queries if raw SQL needed
- Never concatenate user input into SQL strings
- Audit code for string concatenation in queries
- Enable SQL query logging during development
-
Test with SQL injection payloads:
'; DROP TABLE users; --
Input Validation
- Define validation rules for all user inputs
- Implement server-side validation (never trust client-side only)
- Validate input type, length, and format
- Sanitize inputs before database or external API calls
- Implement rate limiting on input endpoints
Input validation example:
F validate_user_input(email: Str, age: i32) -> Result<()> {
I !email.contains("@") {
R Err("Invalid email format")
}
I age < 0 || age > 150 {
R Err("Invalid age")
}
R Ok(())
}
Validation checklist:
- Email format validation
- URL validation for user-provided links
- File type validation (check magic bytes, not extension)
- Length limits (prevent buffer overflow)
- Range validation (numeric values)
- Pattern validation (regex where appropriate)
Package Signature Verification
- Verify package signatures before installation
- Maintain list of trusted package authors
- Implement signature revocation mechanism
- Document key compromise procedures
- Audit all installed packages regularly
Package security procedures:
-
vais package verify <package.tar.gz> - Check package signature against registry
- Monitor for unsigned packages in dependencies
- Implement dependency scanning in CI/CD
General Security Practices
-
Run security audit:
cargo audit -
Keep dependencies updated:
cargo update - Review dependency changes before updating
- Implement secret management (environment variables, secret vaults)
- Use HTTPS everywhere (never plain HTTP in production)
- Implement CORS headers correctly
- Set security headers: CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options
- Implement proper error handling (don't leak sensitive info)
- Use constant-time comparisons for security-sensitive operations
- Document security assumptions and threat model
