The language now supports pointer-style operations inside unsafe contexts while keeping safe code pointer-free by default. This includes typed pointer declarations, fixed-size typed buffers, and core pointer operators with runtime bounds enforcement.
Type syntax + parser updates
*typefor pointers (e.g.*u8)type[n]for fixed-size arrays (e.g.u8[1024])&*Unsafe runtime pointer model
&buffer[i]address-of on indexed arrays/lists*ptrdereferenceptr +/- intpointer arithmeticSafety constraints in unsafe mode
Type handling + field initialization
type[n]) and pointer fields in object construction paths.Feature example
