Side-quests required to land caesar.ml:
1. Top-level 'let r = expr in body' is now an expression decl, not a
broken decl-let. ocaml-parse-program's dispatch now checks
has-matching-in? at every top-level let; if matched, slices via
skip-let-rhs-boundary (which already opens depth on a leading let
with matching in) and ocaml-parse on the slice, wrapping as :expr.
2. runtime.sx: added String.make / String.init / String.map. Used by
caesar.ml's encode = String.init n (fun i -> shift_char s.[i] k).
3. baseline run.sh per-program timeout 240->480s (system load on the
shared host frequently exceeds 240s for large baselines).
caesar.ml exercises:
* the new top-level let-in expression dispatch
* s.[i] string indexing
* Char.code / Char.chr round-trip math
* String.init with a closure that captures k
Test value: Char.code r.[0] + Char.code r.[4] after ROT13(ROT13('hello')) = 104 + 111 = 215.
4-queens via recursive backtracking + List.fold_left. Returns 2 (the
two solutions of 4-queens). Per-program timeout in run.sh bumped to
240s — the tree-walking interpreter is slow on heavy recursion but
correct.
The substrate handles full backtracking + safe-check recursion +
list-driven candidate enumeration end-to-end.
A tiny arithmetic-expression evaluator using:
type expr = Lit of int | Add of expr*expr | Mul of expr*expr | Neg of expr
let rec eval e = match e with | Lit n -> n | Add (a,b) -> ...
Exercises type-decl + multi-arg ctor + recursive match end-to-end.
Per-program timeout in run.sh bumped to 120s.
lib/ocaml/baseline/{factorial,list_ops,option_match,module_use,sum_squares}.ml
exercised through ocaml-run-program (file-read F). lib/ocaml/baseline/
run.sh runs them and compares against expected.json — all 5 pass.
To make module_use.ml (with nested let-in) parse, parser's
skip-let-rhs-boundary! now uses has-matching-in? lookahead: a let at
depth 0 in a let-decl rhs opens a nested block IFF a matching in
exists before any decl-keyword. Without that in, the let is a new
top-level decl (preserves test 274 'let x = 1 let y = 2').
This is the first piece of Phase 5.1 'vendor a slice of OCaml
testsuite' — handcrafted fixtures for now, real testsuite TBD.
