Add records: TYPE, DIM ... AS, field access, copy on assign BASIC 7.0 has no records at all, so none of this is a port. The `@` suffix was not invented either: the Go reference reserved IDENTIFIER_STRUCT and never used it, and src/grammar.c rendered such a leaf as "NOT IMPLEMENTED" until now. Declaring the type is what buys the storage model. A TYPE states its fields, so an instance has a known slot count and is laid out exactly as an array is -- one contiguous run from the same value pool DIM already draws from, with field access as offset arithmetic. No new pool holds data; the only new table holds descriptors. A nested value flattens into its container's run, which is why LINE with two POINTs and a string is five slots rather than three. Each field takes its type from its own suffix, the same rule every other name here follows, so a field list needs no type column. An `@` field is the exception and has to name its type, because three primitive types fit in three suffix characters and N declared types do not fit in one. The declaration is prescanned before the program runs, like labels and DATA and for the same reason: it has to be in effect wherever control goes. Three passes, each for a case the one before cannot do -- names first so a field can refer to a type declared later, then field lists, then sizes by repeated resolution. What never resolves is a cycle of by-value containment, so "a TYPE cannot contain itself by value" is a diagnosis rather than an assumption, and the message says to use PTR TO instead. Assignment copies. That interception is the whole feature and it cannot live in akbasic_value_clone(), which copies one slot -- and one slot holds a *reference* to an instance rather than the instance, so going through it would alias. A structure is intercepted before that path and its slots are copied one at a time, walking the descriptor rather than memcpy-ing the run, because a pointer field must copy its reference where a value field must copy its slots. Two smaller things the work required. All three prescans now sit inside one ATTEMPT: a malformed declaration is the program's mistake, and it was printing a stack trace and taking the driver with it, which is the boundary goal 3 exists to draw. And a fresh variable's structtype is -1 rather than the 0 a memset leaves, because 0 is a valid type index and every new variable was claiming to be the first type declared.

/**
* @file structtype.c
* @brief Implements the `TYPE` table and the prescan that fills it.
*
* The prescan is textual and runs before the program does, exactly as the label
* and `DATA` prescans do and for the same reason: a declaration has to be in
* effect wherever control goes, including when a branch skips the lines that
* made it.
*
* **It is three passes, and each one exists for a case that cannot be done in
* the pass before it.** Pass 1 registers names and line ranges, so a field can
* name a type declared further down the program. Pass 2 parses field lists, now
* able to resolve every type reference. Pass 3 computes sizes and offsets by
* repeated resolution, because a type nested by value must know its own size
* before its container can -- and a group of types that never resolve is
* precisely a cycle of by-value containment, which is what makes "a TYPE cannot
* contain itself by value" a diagnosis rather than an assumption.

Port onto libakstdlib 2b79aca and convert the eight bool predicates akbasic's src/ now calls libakstdlib 313 times and raw libc 7 -- 2.2% bypassed, against 86.4% on the same tree before this. The submodule bump 669b2b3 -> 2b79aca needed no source change of its own: the release is drop-in for what akbasic already used. Seven of the eight sites the earlier port left on raw libc change their own signature rather than swallowing an error, per andrew's ruling on libakstdlib#38. word_is, the is_waiting_for pair, the scanner's is_at_end, peek, peek_next and match_next_char, format.c's overflow, and sink_akgl's scroll/newline/putchar_at/echo_line/edit_key chain all return an akerr_ErrorContext * and hand the answer back through an out parameter. is_waiting_for and is_waiting_for_any are a public header change; every call site that used one as a term in a condition hoists it into a statement first. verb_compare is the eighth and stays on strcmp. bsearch(3) fixes the comparator's signature, so there is no out parameter to report through -- which is what libakstdlib#38 concluded. It carries a comment saying so and saying why the bypass is safe there. Six snprintf sites stay raw because they want truncation as an answer rather than an error, and aksl_snprintf cannot express that until libakstdlib#34 hands the required length back. Each of the six says so at the site. Two of them, in host.c, are a latent defect rather than a decision: a host type name over 31 characters truncates silently and two sharing a prefix then collide, where structtype.c refuses the same case. DLOAD leaked a file descriptor. Its read loop sat inside an ATTEMPT and the PASS in it returned past CLEANUP, so a scan error left the file open. Hoisting the loop into its own helper to convert fgets fixes it. Refs libakstdlib#26, libakstdlib#38 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Add strict pointers: AS PTR TO, POINT ... AT, and the -> operator A pointer is a distinct declared kind rather than a mode a structure can be in, which is what "strict" means here: `.` requires a structure on its left and `->` requires a pointer, neither stands in for the other, and both refusals name the operator the program should have used. So a reader always knows from the spelling whether the thing on the left is their own copy or somebody else's data. Assignment still copies. POINT is the only way to share, so a program that never writes it can never be surprised by aliasing -- and `P@ = A@` is refused with a message saying to POINT it instead, rather than quietly becoming the one assignment in the language that does not copy. PTR TO is also the only way a TYPE may refer to itself, since by value it would have no finite size. That is what makes a linked list possible, and tests/language/structures/pointers.bas builds one, walks it and renders it. Rendering follows pointers, so it needs a depth bound where copying does not: copy stops at a pointer by construction, but two nodes pointing at each other is easy to write and PRINT would not come back. Four levels, chosen so the bound bites before the 256-byte render buffer does -- otherwise a cycle would stop because it ran out of room rather than because it was told to. Three things the work turned up, all now pinned by tests: A freshly DIMmed record printed `(UNDEFINED STRING REPRESENTATION FOR 0)` for every field. Slots now take the type their field declared, so it reads as zeros. Adding POINT as a verb makes POINT unusable as a type name, and the parser reported that as "Expected expression or literal" pointing at the line rather than the problem. The prescan now refuses a reserved word as a type name and says so. Field names follow the same reserved-word rule as variable names, enforced by the loader's own scan -- `TO@` is a bad field name for exactly the reason `TO#` is a bad variable name.

Take libakgl 0.7.0, and refuse an over-long type or field name 0.6.0 and 0.7.0 break nothing here: 0.6.0 is three arcade-physics fixes and a physics.max_timestep property this port does not use, and 0.7.0 reports failures libakstdlib's wrappers were already catching and takes libakerror 2.0.1 so it can drop the exit-status trap its own suites needed. That is the same defect include/akbasic/error.h guards for this band, now fixed at the source rather than worked around in two places. The floor moves to 0.7.0 anyway. The soname carries MAJOR.MINOR while the major is 0, so deciding for ourselves which of libakgl's minor releases were really compatible is exactly the judgement it exists to take away. 0.7.0 is largely about a defect class worth checking for here rather than assuming past: ten unterminated strncpy calls into fixed-width name fields. Ours are clean -- every one is bounded to size - 1 and every buffer is either explicitly terminated afterwards or memset first, checked site by site. But two of them, both written last week in src/structtype.c, truncated an over-long name silently, and truncation is an error everywhere else in this interpreter. It matters more for a name than for a value: two long type names trimmed to the same 31 characters collide, and the second is then reported as redeclaring a type the program never wrote. Both are refused now, showing the name as written. The check was unreachable as first drafted, because the prescan read words into a buffer the size of the limit and so trimmed them before anything could look -- the scratch is twice the limit now, which is what makes the two cases distinguishable at all. tests/struct_types.c pins that it stays reachable.

Port onto libakstdlib 2b79aca and convert the eight bool predicates akbasic's src/ now calls libakstdlib 313 times and raw libc 7 -- 2.2% bypassed, against 86.4% on the same tree before this. The submodule bump 669b2b3 -> 2b79aca needed no source change of its own: the release is drop-in for what akbasic already used. Seven of the eight sites the earlier port left on raw libc change their own signature rather than swallowing an error, per andrew's ruling on libakstdlib#38. word_is, the is_waiting_for pair, the scanner's is_at_end, peek, peek_next and match_next_char, format.c's overflow, and sink_akgl's scroll/newline/putchar_at/echo_line/edit_key chain all return an akerr_ErrorContext * and hand the answer back through an out parameter. is_waiting_for and is_waiting_for_any are a public header change; every call site that used one as a term in a condition hoists it into a statement first. verb_compare is the eighth and stays on strcmp. bsearch(3) fixes the comparator's signature, so there is no out parameter to report through -- which is what libakstdlib#38 concluded. It carries a comment saying so and saying why the bypass is safe there. Six snprintf sites stay raw because they want truncation as an answer rather than an error, and aksl_snprintf cannot express that until libakstdlib#34 hands the required length back. Each of the six says so at the site. Two of them, in host.c, are a latent defect rather than a decision: a host type name over 31 characters truncates silently and two sharing a prefix then collide, where structtype.c refuses the same case. DLOAD leaked a file descriptor. Its read loop sat inside an ATTEMPT and the PASS in it returned past CLEANUP, so a scan error left the file open. Hoisting the loop into its own helper to convert fgets fixes it. Refs libakstdlib#26, libakstdlib#38 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Add records: TYPE, DIM ... AS, field access, copy on assign BASIC 7.0 has no records at all, so none of this is a port. The `@` suffix was not invented either: the Go reference reserved IDENTIFIER_STRUCT and never used it, and src/grammar.c rendered such a leaf as "NOT IMPLEMENTED" until now. Declaring the type is what buys the storage model. A TYPE states its fields, so an instance has a known slot count and is laid out exactly as an array is -- one contiguous run from the same value pool DIM already draws from, with field access as offset arithmetic. No new pool holds data; the only new table holds descriptors. A nested value flattens into its container's run, which is why LINE with two POINTs and a string is five slots rather than three. Each field takes its type from its own suffix, the same rule every other name here follows, so a field list needs no type column. An `@` field is the exception and has to name its type, because three primitive types fit in three suffix characters and N declared types do not fit in one. The declaration is prescanned before the program runs, like labels and DATA and for the same reason: it has to be in effect wherever control goes. Three passes, each for a case the one before cannot do -- names first so a field can refer to a type declared later, then field lists, then sizes by repeated resolution. What never resolves is a cycle of by-value containment, so "a TYPE cannot contain itself by value" is a diagnosis rather than an assumption, and the message says to use PTR TO instead. Assignment copies. That interception is the whole feature and it cannot live in akbasic_value_clone(), which copies one slot -- and one slot holds a *reference* to an instance rather than the instance, so going through it would alias.
