Added int->string operation:

Runtime (runtime/src/io.rs:83-99): Converts Int to String
AST (compiler/src/ast.rs:60): Added to builtins list
Type checker (compiler/src/typechecker.rs:139): Stack effect ( Int -- String )
Codegen (compiler/src/codegen.rs:140, 262): Maps int->string → int_to_string
Example (examples/test-comparison.cem): Updated to use int->string before write_line

Test Results:

✅ 73 tests passing (27 compiler + 46 runtime)
✅ test-comparison example works correctly (prints 1s and 0s)

This is a simple, non-presumptive operation that fits cleanly into the current minimal type system and will work fine when Phase 8.5 full types are
implemented.

Code Review: PR #9 - Add int->string operation

Summary

This PR adds a new int->string conversion operation to the cem3 language. The implementation is well-structured and follows the established patterns in the codebase. The change touches all necessary layers (runtime, AST, type checker, and codegen), and includes updates to examples.

Code Quality & Best Practices

✅ Strengths

Consistent implementation across all layers: The change properly updates all four required components:
- Runtime implementation (runtime/src/io.rs:83-99)
- AST builtin list (compiler/src/ast.rs:60)
- Type checker stack effects (compiler/src/typechecker.rs:139)
- Code generation mapping (compiler/src/codegen.rs:140, 262)
Follows established patterns: The int_to_string function follows the same structure as other runtime functions:
- Proper #[unsafe(no_mangle)] attribute
- C ABI with extern "C"
- Stack effect documentation
- Safety documentation
- Assertion for null stack
- Pattern matching on Value type with panic on mismatch
Good documentation: The function includes clear doc comments with stack effect notation.
Naming consistency: Uses the established pattern of hyphen in source (int->string) mapping to underscore in runtime (int_to_string), matching conventions like make-channel → make_channel.

⚠️ Areas for Improvement

Missing unit tests (runtime/src/io.rs:83-99)

The int_to_string function lacks dedicated unit tests
Other functions in the same file (write_line, push_string) have test coverage starting at line 148

Recommendation: Add test cases similar to the existing pattern:

#[test]
fn test_int_to_string() {
    unsafe {
        let stack = std::ptr::null_mut();
        let stack = push(stack, Value::Int(42));
        let stack = int_to_string(stack);

        let (stack, value) = pop(stack);
        assert_eq!(value, Value::String("42".to_string()));
        assert!(stack.is_null());
    }
}

#[test]
fn test_int_to_string_negative() {
    unsafe {
        let stack = std::ptr::null_mut();
        let stack = push(stack, Value::Int(-123));
        let stack = int_to_string(stack);

        let (stack, value) = pop(stack);
        assert_eq!(value, Value::String("-123".to_string()));
        assert!(stack.is_null());
    }
}

#[test]
fn test_int_to_string_zero() {
    unsafe {
        let stack = std::ptr::null_mut();
        let stack = push(stack, Value::Int(0));
        let stack = int_to_string(stack);

        let (stack, value) = pop(stack);
        assert_eq!(value, Value::String("0".to_string()));
        assert!(stack.is_null());
    }
}

Placement in io.rs module (runtime/src/io.rs:83-99)
- The function is in the I/O module, but it's a type conversion operation
- Other runtime modules: arithmetic.rs (math/comparison ops), stack.rs (stack ops), channel.rs (concurrency)
- Question: Would a dedicated conversion.rs or string.rs module be more appropriate? Or is io.rs acceptable since it works with the write_line function?
- This is a design decision, not a bug—current placement is reasonable given the immediate use case

Potential Bugs or Issues

⚠️ Minor Issues

Type safety comment mismatch (compiler/src/typechecker.rs:139)
- Comment says ( int -- str ) but the type checker doesn't verify the input is actually an Int
- The type checker only checks stack depth, not types (consistent with other operations)
- Impact: Low - this is consistent with the current phase of development where full type checking isn't implemented yet
- Note: The PR description mentions this will work fine when "Phase 8.5 full types are implemented"
No overflow handling needed
- Unlike arithmetic operations that use wrapping_add, to_string() on i64 cannot fail
- This is correct as-is ✅

Performance Considerations

String allocation (runtime/src/io.rs:96)
- n.to_string() allocates a new String for each conversion
- This is consistent with the existing design (see file header comment about STRING_INTERNING_DESIGN.md)
- Impact: Acceptable for current phase; future optimization opportunity noted in docs ✅
No performance issues identified - The implementation is straightforward and efficient ✅

Security Concerns

Panic behavior (runtime/src/io.rs:97)
- Function panics on type mismatch, consistent with other runtime functions
- The type checker should prevent this from happening in valid programs
- Impact: Low - follows established error handling pattern ✅
No unsafe memory issues
- Properly uses the safe pop/push abstractions
- No direct pointer manipulation ✅
No security concerns identified ✅

Test Coverage

✅ Integration Testing

Example file examples/test-comparison.cem updated to use the new operation
Tests reportedly passing (73 tests: 27 compiler + 46 runtime)

⚠️ Unit Test Gap

Missing: Direct unit tests for int_to_string function
Exists: Tests for similar functions (write_line, push_string, etc.)
Recommendation: Add unit tests as shown in "Areas for Improvement" section

Summary & Recommendations

This is a solid, well-implemented PR that follows the codebase conventions and touches all necessary components. The main gap is missing unit tests.

Required Before Merge:

Add unit tests for int_to_string covering positive, negative, and zero integers

Optional Considerations:

Consider whether a dedicated conversion/string module would better organize future type conversion operations
Verify the type checker comment accurately reflects current behavior vs. future behavior

Approval: ✅ Approve with minor changes

Once unit tests are added, this PR is ready to merge. Great work maintaining consistency across all compiler layers!
