# AC Compiler Updates: IR, Libraries, and Widgets

## Summary of Changes

### 1. Added elib and clib Tokens
- **Location**: `ac-compiler/include/token.hpp`, `ac-compiler/src/lexer.cpp`
- **Purpose**: Support for external libraries (elib) and custom libraries (clib)
- **Tokens Added**:
  - `KW_ELIB` - External library imports
  - `KW_CLIB` - Custom library imports
- **Usage**: `use elib <name>` or `use clib <name>`

### 2. Created Intermediate Representation (IR)
- **Location**: `ac-compiler/include/ir.hpp`, `ac-compiler/src/ir_generator.cpp`
- **Purpose**: Platform-independent intermediate layer between AST and code generation
- **Features**:
  - IROpcode enum with 40+ operations (control flow, arithmetic, I/O, events, etc.)
  - IRType system (void, int, float, string, bool, list, tuple, object, function)
  - IRValue variant type for holding different data types
  - IRInstruction, IRFunction, and IRProgram structures
  - AST to IR converter with label generation and temp variable management

### 3. IR Capabilities
The IR supports:
- **Control Flow**: Labels, jumps, conditional jumps, function calls, returns
- **Data Operations**: Load/store constants and variables
- **Arithmetic**: Add, subtract, multiply, divide, modulo
- **Comparison**: Equal, not equal, less than, greater than, etc.
- **Logical**: AND, OR, NOT
- **Memory**: Allocation, freeing, indexed access
- **I/O**: Print, input
- **Events**: Event binding and triggering
- **Library Calls**: Generic library function calls

### 4. HTML Widgets Library
- **Location**: `library/widgets/widgets.js`
- **Purpose**: Provide GUI components for HTML-based AC programs
- **Components**:
  - `Screen` - Main application window/container
  - `Label` - Text display widget
  - `Button` - Clickable button with command callback
  - `Entry` - Single-line text input
  - `Text` - Multi-line text area
- **Features**:
  - Automatic styling and layout
  - Configuration methods for customization
  - Event handling support
  - Responsive design

### 5. HTML Codegen Widget Support
- **Location**: `ac-compiler/src/codegen_html.cpp`
- **Changes**:
  - Detects `use ilib widgets` statements
  - Automatically includes `widgets.js` script in HTML head
  - Handles `UseLibStmt` node type
  - Generates proper widget initialization code

### 6. Event Listener Enhancements
All 10 backends now have:
- `trigger(key)` method that checks if binding exists before triggering
- `check_and_trigger(key)` helper method
- Silent handling of unmapped keys (does absolutely nothing)
- Comments explaining automatic detection behavior

## Next Steps for Full Implementation

### ASM and Python Parity
To make ASM and Python have all the same capabilities:

1. **ASM Enhancements Needed**:
   - Add string handling capabilities
   - Implement list/tuple data structures
   - Add function call conventions
   - Implement I/O operations (currently limited)
   - Add event listener support (currently just comments)

2. **Python Enhancements Needed**:
   - Already has most capabilities
   - Could add more low-level memory operations to match ASM
   - Add inline assembly support if needed

### Library Token System
To move library-specific tokens out of main token.hpp:

1. **Create Library Token Files**:
   - `library/widgets/widget_tokens.hpp`
   - `library/gui/gui_tokens.hpp`
   - `library/keybinds/keybind_tokens.hpp`
   - `library/event_listener/event_tokens.hpp`

2. **Token Registration System**:
   - Create a token registry that libraries can register with
   - Lexer checks registry for library-specific keywords
   - Parser uses registry to validate library-specific syntax

3. **Benefits**:
   - Cleaner main token.hpp
   - Libraries can define their own syntax
   - Easier to add new libraries without modifying core compiler
   - Better modularity and maintainability

## Usage Examples

### Using elib/clib (Future)
```ac
AC->PY
use elib numpy
use clib mylib

<mainloop>
    # Use external library functions
    arr = numpy.array([1, 2, 3])
    result = mylib.custom_function(arr)
    /kill
<mainloop>
```

### HTML Widgets
```ac
AC->HTML
use ilib widgets

<mainloop>
    root = Screen(title=$My App$, geometry=$800x600$)
    label = Label(root, text=$Hello World$)
    button = Button(root, text=$Click Me$)
    root.mainloop()
    /kill
<mainloop>
```

### Event Listeners (All Backends)
```ac
AC->PY
<mainloop>
    configure event-listener
        use listener to establish rule
            on value is space
                jump()
            on value is a
                move_left()
    
    # If space is pressed, jump() is called
    # If 'a' is pressed, move_left() is called
    # If any other key is pressed, nothing happens
    /kill
<mainloop>
```
