Port the BASIC interpreter from Go to C Reproduces deps/basicinterpret in C, in the idiom of the ak* libraries. All 41 .bas files in the reference's corpus produce byte-identical stdout, including the trailing double newline on an error line -- that comes from basicError building a string ending in \n and handing it to Println, and array_outofbounds.txt encodes it. The corpus is driven in place from the submodule as 41 individual CTest cases rather than copied, so it cannot drift from upstream. Eighteen unit tests cover what the corpus cannot reach. Three structural changes carry most of the work. Go's three reflection lookups (Command*, Function*, ParseCommand*) become one sorted dispatch table in src/verbs.c searched with bsearch; adding a verb is a row and two functions. The five Go maps become one fixed open-addressed table over aksl_strhash_djb2. And run(), which owned the process until MODE_QUIT, splits into step() plus a bounded run() -- goal 3 requires a host game to be able to bound execution, and nothing in the library now terminates the process or touches SDL. Output goes through an akbasic_TextSink vtable. src/sink_stdio.c is what makes the corpus runnable with no SDL present; the akgl-backed sink is still to come and is blocked on libakgl having no text-measurement call. src/convert.c exists because libakstdlib's aksl_ato* family cannot report a conversion failure (its TODO.md 2.1.5). The reference checks strconv's error at four sites and turns it into a BASIC error; routing those through aksl_atoi would have turned four diagnosable errors into wrong answers, with VAL("garbage") quietly returning 0. TODO.md 1.9 records which libakstdlib calls are cleared for use here and which are not. Reference defects are reproduced, not fixed: the golden files encode the observed behaviour and a silent correction is a behaviour change. TODO.md section 6 lists sixteen, and tests/known_reference_defects.c asserts the *correct* contract for six of them under AKBASIC_KNOWN_FAILING_TESTS, so a fix shows up as "unexpectedly passed". Five of the sixteen were found by this port and are new: subtraction stops after one operator so 1-2-3 computes 1-2 and abandons the rest of the line (a wrong answer, not a refused one); a unary-minus argument inflates a function's arity so ABS(-9) is rejected; a comparison operator in a line's final column is dropped; hex literals never survive the scanner; and the "Reserved word in variable name" check is dead code. Where the reference reaches undefined behaviour by a route that is defined in Go -- an out-of-range shift, a negative string multiplier, integer division by zero -- this raises instead of inheriting the UB. No golden case exercises any of them. The top-level CMakeLists shadows add_test, set_tests_properties and add_custom_target around all three add_subdirectory calls. Without it libakerror's tests land in our suite as Not Run, and its un-namespaced `coverage` target stops a coverage build from configuring at all. Test targets are akbasic_test_<name>: bare test_<name> collides with libakstdlib's, which is what broke libakgl's configure in c2b16d3. ctest 59/59; ASan+UBSan 59/59; 92.3% line and 96.9% function coverage; no warnings under -Wall -Wextra. Branch coverage is not a target, for the reason libakstdlib and libakgl both record: the akerror macros expand into large branch trees at every call site.

/**
* @file main.c
* @brief The standalone driver.
*
* Everything that belongs to a program rather than to a library lives here: argv
Port the README from the Go version and document embedding Carries the reference README across, adjusted where C changes the answer: cmake instead of make, the ak* libraries instead of the go-sdl2 bindings, and the limits table now includes the three ceilings the Go version did not need because it called make(). The new "Embedding the interpreter" section is the point of the rewrite, so it states the four rules the library holds to -- nothing terminates the process, nothing calls malloc, no file-scope mutable state, the host owns the loop -- and each was checked against the tree rather than asserted. Adds akbasic_runtime_load(). Writing the section turned up a real gap: a host usually already holds its script as a string and wants the sink reserved for output, and the only path that existed was AKBASIC_MODE_RUNSTREAM reading the program through the sink's readline, which forces a game to point its output device at its source text. The alternative was reaching into the header's "internal API" block for store_line. Neither is something to put in a README. Adds examples/embed.c, which is the code the README quotes -- a custom sink, a bounded per-frame run, and the PASS-not-CATCH rule for a loop inside an ATTEMPT. It is built by every build and registered as a CTest case, so a signature change breaks the build instead of rotting the document. The README's own snippet is compiled separately as a check; both were run before committing. The "What Isn't Implemented / Isn't Working" section leads with the eleven inherited defects rather than burying them, because five of them were found by this port and a reader deserves to know that 1 - 2 - 3 computes 1 - 2 before they hit it. Corrected two claims while verifying: the runtime is 10.1MB rather than the ~8MB first written, and its largest single cost is the environment pool at 4.1MB, not the source table. ctest 60/60; ASan+UBSan 60/60; no warnings under -Wall -Wextra.
