Instrument each emitted statement with a per-source-line hit counter, gated behind a new --coverage flag (default off) so ordinary builds — and the compiler's own self-compile — stay byte-identical and the C-free bootstrap fixpoint is untouched. A static line table plus a parallel hit-counter array are dumped at exit through an atexit hook to $LUDIC_COVERAGE (default ludic.cov) as a `FILE <name>` header and `<line> <hits>` rows. bin/x test --coverage compiles the test specs with instrumentation, runs them into per-file dumps, and aggregates a clean per-file line-coverage report that names the unreached lines. Adds examples/library/coverage.ludic (a spec whose tests deliberately miss one branch) and docs. Closes the last open acceptance item of the testing framework (#12).

tip: A named test block, run automatically with pass/fail reporting.

A <code>test "name" { … }</code> block declares a named test. Every test in a file is discovered automatically and run by a generated entry point — there is no <code>entry</code> to write and nothing to register. The runner prints <code>ok - name</code> for a test whose assertions all held and <code>FAIL - name</code> for one that had a failure, then a <code>== N passed, M failed ==</code> summary, and the program exits non-zero if any test failed. Writing a test should feel like writing a function: put a few assertions in a block and run it.
|
|
|
|
Assertions (each records a failure and prints <code>file:line: … failed</code> but keeps going, so one run reports every failure):
|
|
|
|
- `expect(cond)` — the boolean `cond` must be true.
|
|
- `expect_eq(a, b)` — `a` must equal `b`; on failure prints `(got a, want b)`.
|
|
- `expect_near(a, b, tol)` — `a` must be within `tol` of `b` (absolute). Use it for `fixed`-point results and accumulated integer math, where an exact match is too brittle.
|
|
|
|
Run a spec file directly with the compiler-runner — `ludic mymath_test.ludic` compiles it to a native binary, runs it, and forwards the pass/fail exit code — so it drops straight into `bin/x` and CI.

<strong>Line coverage.</strong> Compile with the <code>--coverage</code> flag and the compiler instruments every statement with a per-source-line hit counter; at exit the counts are written to the file named by <code>$LUDIC_COVERAGE</code> (default <code>ludic.cov</code>) as a <code>FILE <name></code> header followed by one <code><line> <hits></code> row per instrumented line. The instrumentation is flag-gated and additive, so an ordinary build — and the compiler's own self-compile — stays byte-identical. <code>bin/x test --coverage</code> compiles the test specs this way, runs them, and aggregates the dumps into a per-file report that names the lines your tests never reached:
