vector_conversion's element conversion used Cast_Helper directly, which
only performs exact type matching. For nested vectors like
std::vector<std::vector<double>>, each inner element is a
std::vector<Boxed_Value> that needs its own conversion to
std::vector<double>. Added a recursive convert_vector_element helper
that detects std::vector value types and converts them from
std::vector<Boxed_Value> before falling back to Cast_Helper for
leaf types.

Add a customizable file reader callback to ChaiScript_Basic, following
the same pattern as set_print_handler. When set, the callback is invoked
instead of the default filesystem read, enabling use cases like encrypted
files, in-memory virtual filesystems, or platform-specific file access
(e.g., Android assets). The callback is settable from both C++ and

* Fix#677: Add strong typedefs via 'using Type = BaseType' syntax
Strong typedefs create distinct types backed by Dynamic_Object, so
'using Meters = int' makes Meters a type that is not interchangeable
with int or other typedefs of int. The constructor Meters(val) wraps
the base value, and function dispatch enforces the type distinction.

* Address review: expose strongly-typed operators for strong typedefs
Register forwarding binary operators at typedef creation time via a
custom Proxy_Function_Base subclass (Strong_Typedef_Binary_Op). Each
operator unwraps __value from both operands, dispatches on the
underlying types, and re-wraps arithmetic results in the typedef.
Comparison operators return the raw bool.
- Arithmetic: +, -, *, /, % → Meters + Meters -> Meters
- Comparison: <, >, <=, >=, ==, != → Meters < Meters -> bool
- Operators that don't exist on the base type error at call time
(e.g. StrongString * StrongString -> error)
- Users can extend typedefs with their own operations using
to_underlying() for unwrapping
Tests cover int-based arithmetic, string-based concatenation, string
multiplication error, comparison ops, type safety of results, and
user-defined operator extensions.

* Address review: conditionally register operators based on underlying type support
Only register strong typedef operators that actually exist for the
underlying type. Previously all operators were added unconditionally,
causing confusing reflection entries (e.g. * for StrongString) that
would fail at runtime. Now each operator is probed via call_match
against default-constructed base type values before registration.
Also adds bitwise/shift operators (&, |, ^, <<, >>) for types that
support them, and expands test coverage for unsupported operator
rejection.

* Address review: register all operators unconditionally and add compound assignment operators
Remove conditional operator registration (op_exists_for_base_type check)

instead of being absent. Add compound assignment operators (*=, +=, -=, /=,
%=, <<=, >>=, &=, |=, ^=) via Strong_Typedef_Compound_Assign_Op which
computes the base operation and stores the result back in __value.

* Fix#19: Add strongly-typed enum support to ChaiScript
Adds the ability to define enums inside ChaiScript with syntax:
enum Color { Red, Green, Blue }
enum Priority { Low = 10, Medium = 20, High = 30 }
Enum values are strongly typed Dynamic_Objects accessed via :: syntax
(e.g. Color::Red). A validating constructor from int is registered that
rejects values outside the defined range. Functions declared with an enum
parameter type (e.g. def fun(Color val)) correctly reject plain integers,
enforcing type safety at the dispatch level.

* Fix#552: Support nested namespaces via dotted names
Namespaces can now be nested using dotted name syntax, both from C++
(register_namespace(gen, "constants.si")) and from script
(namespace("constants.si")). Parent namespaces are auto-registered when
absent, and child namespaces are automatically nested into their parent
on import. This allows clean hierarchical organization like
constants.si.mu_B instead of flat names like constants_si.

* Address review: use :: instead of . as nested namespace separator
Switch from dotted names (e.g. "constants.si") to C++-style ::
separator (e.g. "constants::si") for nested namespace declarations,
both in the C++ API (register_namespace) and in script (namespace()).
The original implementation used . because namespace members are
accessed via dot notation at runtime (constants.si.mu_B), making the
declaration separator match the access syntax. However, :: is more
consistent with C++ namespace conventions and aligns with ChaiScript's
existing use of :: for method (def Class::method) and attribute
(attr Class::attr) declarations.
Member access in scripts remains dot-based (constants.si.mu_B) since
that is ChaiScript's member access operator.

When all typed catch blocks failed to match a thrown exception's type,
handle_exception() would silently discard the exception and return a
default-constructed Boxed_Value instead of propagating it. This meant
code like `try { throw(42) } catch(string e) { }` would swallow the
int exception rather than letting it propagate to an outer handler.
The fix adds an explicit re-throw when no catch block matches, and
restructures eval_internal() with a nested try/catch to ensure the
finally block still executes before the unhandled exception propagates.

* Fix#635: Segfault in async result via dangling pointer from optimized for loop
* The optimized for loop (chaiscript_optimizer.hpp) stored the loop
counter as a stack-local `int` and exposed it to ChaiScript via
`var(&i)`, creating a reference-type Boxed_Value pointing to the
stack frame.
The Handle_Return_Ref specialization for const references was wrapping
return values in std::cref() while marking them as return values
(is_return_value=true). This caused Vector.push_back() to store the
reference directly without cloning, since it assumes return values are
freshly created temporaries. When the source object (e.g., a map) went
out of scope, the vector contained dangling references to freed memory.
The fix sets is_return_value=false for const reference returns, which
correctly triggers push_back to clone the value instead of storing a
bare reference. This is consistent with the non-const reference handler
(Handle_Return<Ret &>) which also does not set the return value flag.

The built-in Dynamic_Object::get_attr was always winning dispatch over
user-defined [] overrides when a string index was used, because its C++
type signature (Dynamic_Object, const string&) scored numdiffs=0 while
ChaiScript-defined functions had higher numdiffs due to undefined type
info. The fix deprioritizes generic C++ Dynamic_Object functions when the
actual first argument is a specific subtype, and maps named ChaiScript
type parameters to Dynamic_Object type_info for correct dispatch scoring.

* Fix#405: push_back() on script-created vector has no effect with vector_conversion
When both vector_type<T> and vector_conversion<T> are registered, the
dispatch scoring treats all parameter mismatches equally. This causes
the C++ push_back (for the converted type) to be selected over the

converted function operates on a temporary copy of the vector, silently
discarding the mutation. The fix deprioritizes overloads that require
type conversion on the first parameter (the object/receiver), ensuring

- Add MSVC-native ASAN support in CMakeLists.txt (/fsanitize=address)
with /RTC removal and /INCREMENTAL:NO (both incompatible with ASAN)
- Add Windows MSVC ASAN CI job
- Add Windows ClangCL ASAN+UBSAN CI job (UBSAN requires Clang, not
available in native MSVC)
- Fix sanitizer guard to include AppleClang (macOS sanitizer jobs were
silently not enabling sanitizers)
Requested by @lefticus in PR #661 review.

* Address review: remove Windows sanitizers, add TSAN for Linux/macOS
Remove windows-sanitizers and windows-clangcl-sanitizers CI jobs.
Add linux-tsan and macos-tsan CI jobs using ENABLE_THREAD_SANITIZER.

The forward declarations of AST_Node_Trace and eval_error at the top of
chaiscript_common.hpp introduced these types as incomplete before the standard
library headers were fully processed. On clang/libc++ in C++20 mode, this
caused compilation errors because std::vector<AST_Node_Trace> was instantiated
while the type was still incomplete. Since the full definitions of both types
appear later in the same file (and nothing between the forward declarations
and the definitions references them), these forward declarations are unnecessary
and removing them prevents the incomplete type issue.

* Fix#615: Switch from Travis CI to GitHub Actions
Add a GitHub Actions CI workflow with a full build matrix covering
linux, macOS, and Windows with both GCC and Clang compilers, Debug
and Release build types, and optional ASan+UBSan sanitizers (24 builds
total). Windows builds use MSYS2 for GCC/Clang toolchains. The workflow
relies on CMake and CTest to drive configuration, building, and testing.

* Address review: use native compilers, remove MSYS/MinGW
Use Visual Studio (MSVC) on Windows, Apple Clang on macOS, and GCC on
Linux. Remove MSYS2/MinGW toolchain setup entirely. Split into three
separate jobs for clarity. Fix workflow validation issues.

* Address review: add workflow_dispatch to enable manual CI runs on fork
Add workflow_dispatch trigger so the workflow can be manually run on the
leftibot fork to verify that GitHub Actions are working correctly.

Updated the cheatsheet to clearly explain that `add` creates thread-local
scoped variables while `add_global`, `add_global_const`, and `set_global`
create global variables shared between all threads. Added a summary table
comparing scope, thread safety, and conflict behavior. Also added a test
exercising the key behavioral differences between these methods.

The saw_eol variable in Class_Statements() was initialized to true and
only ever set back to true, making the "missing line separator" check
unreachable. The fix separates Def (block statement ending with }) from
Var_Decl (simple statement) so that Var_Decl sets saw_eol to false,
matching the pattern used in Statements() for simple expressions.

* Fix#256: Expose get_function_objects() and get_scripting_objects() in public API
The ChaiScript_Basic public API only exposed get_locals() for inspecting
runtime state from C++, requiring users to work around this via
chai.eval("get_functions()") to access function objects. Added
get_function_objects() and get_scripting_objects() as public methods on
ChaiScript_Basic, delegating to the existing Dispatch_Engine methods,
matching the pattern already used by get_locals().

* Fix#17: Add const local variable support to ChaiScript
Adds `const var`, `const auto`, and `const` as variable declaration
syntax that creates immutable local variables. A const_override flag
on Boxed_Value enables script-level constness without changing the
C++ type system integration. The parser, optimizer, and evaluator
are extended with Const_Var_Decl and Const_Assign_Decl AST nodes
that mirror their non-const counterparts but mark the value as const
after initialization.

* Address review: remove const_override, set const flag directly on Type_Info
Replace the m_const_override bool on Boxed_Value::Data with a
Type_Info::make_const() method that sets the const bit in m_flags
directly. This ensures constness is visible everywhere consistently,
including places that check get_type_info().is_const() directly.

* Fix#201: Add class inheritance support with Derived : Base syntax
Classes can now inherit methods and attributes from a base class using
C++-style syntax: `class Derived : Base { ... }`. Base class methods and
attributes are automatically available on derived objects. Derived classes
can override base methods by defining a method with the same name.
Inheritance relationships are tracked to support proper type matching
in the dispatch system.

* Address review: use implicit derived-to-base matching instead of copying base class functions
Instead of copying all base class methods/attributes into derived classes,
make the type matching system recognize inheritance relationships. Base class
methods now naturally match derived objects through dynamic_object_typename_match,
and dispatch ordering ensures derived overrides are preferred over base methods.
This is simpler (net -25 lines) and avoids duplicating function registrations.

* Add tests for passing derived objects to functions expecting Base
Tests cover: free functions calling base methods on derived objects,
polymorphic dispatch through containers, base attribute access on
derived objects, and multi-level inheritance (GrandChild : Derived : Base).

* Add typed parameter tests for class inheritance
Use typed function signatures (e.g., `def call_do_something(Base obj)`)
instead of untyped parameters to test that derived objects are accepted
by functions expecting a base type, with correct polymorphic dispatch.

Add both a compiled C++ test (with registered type_conversion) and a
pure ChaiScript test (with dynamic objects and custom == operator) to
verify that switch case comparisons properly manage object lifetimes.

Add Function_Push_Pop to Switch_AST_Node case comparison to properly
manage the lifetime of temporaries created during type conversions.
Make Binary_Operator_AST_Node::do_oper static and public so it can be
reused by Switch_AST_Node for case equality checks, ensuring consistent
lifetime management across all operator invocations.

The cheatsheet's "ChaiScript Defined Types" section was minimal, showing only
a basic class with one attribute and a getter. Expanded it to document block
syntax, open syntax, attribute keywords (var/attr/auto), constructor and method
guards, operator overloading, cloning, and added a test exercising all examples.
