…nted out to get access to the C-libs but the macos13 and macos14 images in the CI require it. We need to look into this.
…itialize aggregate variables after a move.
* remove offset_ptr from descriptions * add comment to raii docs about changing this pointer * readd tests/raii-offset_ptr.t with clearer content
…ndmanagedassignment'
…f overloads corresponding to 'to' and 'from'. 'overload(to)' should come first.
…nd __move respectively. Also disabled custom __move.
…alize types that have no implementation of __dtor. This is useful for types that require initialization but do not cary a resource.

Initial review on the design document only. Will start to look at the code next.

I've closed RAII-V2 and reopened it here to put forward the finalized design.
Traditionally, Terra has only supported manual, C-style resource management. While functional, this approach limits the full potential of Terra’s powerful metaprogramming capabilities. To address this limitation, the contribution introduces automated resource management based on RAII. This enables the implementation of smart containers and smart pointers, like std::string, std::vector and std::unique_ptr, std::shared_ptr in C++.
The design does not introduce any breaking changes. No new keywords are introduced. Heap resources are acquired and released using the regular C stdlib functions such malloc and free, leaving memory allocation in the hands of the programmer.
The documented design can be found here.
