2.0.0 makes the error pool and the status registry thread safe, and it is an ABI
break carrying the soname to libakerror.so.2. The break is a quiet one:
__akerr_last_ignored became thread-local and akerr_next_error() now returns a
context that already holds a reference, so objects compiled against a 1.x header
and linked against 2.x count every reference twice and never give a slot back.
Nothing about that fails to link, which is exactly what a guard is for --
include/akbasic/error.h feature-tests AKERR_THREAD_SAFE instead of
AKERR_FIRST_CONSUMER_STATUS, which 2.0.0 also still defines and which therefore
no longer distinguishes anything.
2.0.1 is the release this band needed most. The default unhandled-error handler
ended in exit(errctx->status), and a process exit status is one byte:
AKBASIC_ERR_BASE is 512, and 512 truncates to 0, so an unhandled
AKBASIC_ERR_SYNTAX reported success to anything watching $?. Every other code in
the band came out as some unrelated error's number. akerr_exit() substitutes 125
for anything a byte cannot carry, and a probe raising AKBASIC_ERR_DEVICE through
FINISH_NORETURN now exits 125 rather than 7.
It was latent here rather than live -- src/main.c handles the context and returns
EXIT_FAILURE, and every test with a top-level ATTEMPT carries a HANDLE_DEFAULT --
but "no caller relies on it today" is not a property a header can keep true.
tests/version_check.c asserts the mapping and fails if AKBASIC_ERR_BASE ever
stops truncating to zero, because that is the day this stops being about our base.
Chapter 10 gains a threading section: libakerror is safe from any thread now, and
this interpreter is not and has no lock anywhere in it.

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.
