i++ Keyword Reference

Reference C11 keywords and i++ additions, including memory, library, and assembly constructs.

i++ inherits most C11 keywords and adds keywords for strings, arrays, allocation, modules, and assembly. Some language-design keywords are not yet implemented; see compiler status.

Supported additions

string, dynam, allocate, free, library imports, namespaces, and Linux x86_64 assembly.

Design-only keywords

auto, tuple, lamb, typed, and automatic ownership constructs are not implemented.

Types and declarations

Common C11 type and declaration keywords include int, char, float, double, void, short, long, signed, unsigned, struct, union, enum, and typedef.

Keyword	Description
string	i++ string type
dynam	Dynamic array
allocate	Allocate heap storage
free	Release heap storage

Control flow

The compiler supports C11 control flow, including if, else, while, for, do, switch, case, default, break, continue, return, and goto.

Libraries and namespaces

Keyword or operator	Description
using	Import a library or symbol
expose	Make imported symbols available without namespace qualification
space	Declare a namespace
@	Access a symbol through a namespace

Assembly

Keyword	Description
asm	Declare an inline assembly function or block
syntax	Set the assembly target, such as x86_64_elf
section	Select an assembly section, such as .text

The documented assembly target is Linux x86_64.

Use the syntax guide for examples of imports and namespaces, and compiler status to confirm which constructs are ready to use.

Planned keywords

These keywords are part of the language design but are not implemented in the current compiler:

Keyword	Planned purpose
auto	Type inference; the C11 storage-class meaning is not used
tuple	Heterogeneous collection
lamb	Named lambda
typed	Struct inheritance
init, end, self	Struct lifecycle and member-function constructs
autoremove	Automatic heap deallocation
overwrite	Replace base syntax with library syntax

Deprecated C11 keywords

The repository lists restrict, _Bool, _Complex, and _Imaginary as removed or deprecated. Do not use them in i++ source.
