Fix #19: Add enum support#679
Conversation
Adds the ability to define enums inside ChaiScript with syntax:
enum Color { Red, Green, Blue }
enum Priority { Low = 10, Medium = 20, High = 30 }
Enum values are strongly typed Dynamic_Objects accessed via :: syntax
(e.g. Color::Red). A validating constructor from int is registered that
rejects values outside the defined range. Functions declared with an enum
parameter type (e.g. def fun(Color val)) correctly reject plain integers,
enforcing type safety at the dispatch level.

@leftibot try to simplify this PR, if possible. |
Remove Enum_Access AST node type — reuse Id_AST_Node for enum value lookups by combining "EnumName::ValueName" at parse time. Replace std::set with std::vector for valid value tracking (enums are small). Net removal of ~18 lines. Requested by @lefticus in PR ChaiScript#679 review.

@leftibot your attempt to fix the merge conflicts did not do anything, notice that the diffs between your two commits is nothing. |
Merge upstream/develop (including namespace support from ChaiScript#552, WASM support from ChaiScript#678, and grammar diagrams from ChaiScript#628) and adapt enum implementation for compatibility with the :: dot-access semantics. Enum values are now stored as attributes on a container Dynamic_Object, aligning with how namespaces store members. The from_int() factory method replaces direct constructor syntax since a name cannot be both a global object (for :: access) and a callable constructor.

…ng type
- Change syntax from `enum` to `enum class` (only strongly-typed enums)
- Support optional underlying type: `enum class Flags : char { ... }`
(defaults to `int` when omitted)
- Replace `from_int` with a constructor named after the enum type,
accessed as `Color::Color(1)` — the underlying type is no longer
hardcoded to int
- Use Boxed_Number for type-generic value storage and comparison
- to_underlying now returns the actual underlying type
Note: `Color(1)` syntax is not possible because ChaiScript's global
objects shadow functions with the same name; `Color::Color(1)` is the
C++-consistent alternative.

@leftibot update documentation: EBNF, cheatsheet. Document what types can be used for the underlying type (can string by used) |
…ation Add enum production rules to the EBNF grammar. Add comprehensive enum section to the cheatsheet covering syntax, explicit values, underlying type specification, construction, to_underlying, comparison, type-safe dispatch, and switch usage. Document that the underlying type must be a numeric type (string cannot be used) and list all available types. Requested by @lefticus in PR ChaiScript#679 review.

Carefully resolved merge conflicts to preserve both the strong typedef (using) feature from this branch and the enum support (ChaiScript#679), nested namespaces (ChaiScript#552), grammar diagram (ChaiScript#628), and WASM exception (ChaiScript#678) features from upstream develop. All 376 tests pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>
