Expand the abbreviated pointer types to full words on the language surface: ptr -> pointer (a raw address / FFI handle) ptrs -> pointers (a buffer of pointers) The Ludic type name is distinct from LLVM's own `ptr` spelling: llty() maps `pointer`/`pointers` to LLVM `ptr`, and the emitted IR keeps `ptr`, so only the Ludic-level surface changes. Rewrites type annotations across all sources, the 8 hardcoded pointer type-tags, the `pointers`-buffer indexing in emit_addr, the grammars/LSP/JetBrains tokens, and the docs (type-ptr -> type-pointer, type-ptrs -> type-pointers). int/bool keep their conventional short spelling (like Math). Reseeded; C-free fixpoint holds; all suites green (45/24/29); site + check.py OK. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

id: kw-extern name: extern category: structure kind: keyword tokens: extern sig: extern function name(a: T) -> R = "symbol" tip: Bind a name to an external native symbol — the seam for platform and library calls. order: 12
An extern function declares a function whose body lives outside Ludic and binds it to a native symbol resolved at link time. It is the seam through which Ludic reaches anything with a native interface — a system library, a math routine, or even another .ludic file compiled as a module. You write the Ludic signature you want to call and give the real symbol name after =; the linker connects them (pass -L/-l to ludicc to point at the library). Types must match the foreign ABI, so map each parameter and the return to the right Ludic type (int, fixed, pointer, …).
Parameters:
a— a typed argument passed straight through to the foreign symbol
program Physics {
extern function c_hypot(a: fixed, b: fixed) -> fixed = "hypot_fx"
property Velocity { delta_x: int = 0, delta_y: int = 0 }
model Projectile { Velocity }
handler MeasureSpeed phase Update {
for (velocity) in query [Velocity, {Projectile}] {
let speed = c_hypot(a: fx(velocity.delta_x), b: fx(velocity.delta_y))
Screen.status(string(flr(speed)))
}
}
