min() — internals

Where it lives

• Signature: src/builtins/math/min.rs
• Lowering: src/codegen/lower_inst/builtins/math.rs:204 (lower_min_max)
• Function symbol: lower_min_max()

Lowering notes

• Lowers numeric min() and max() over concrete integer-like or float operands.

Runtime helpers

No direct __rt_* helpers captured — the lowering is inlined or routes through another builtin.

Signature summary

function min(mixed $value, ...$values): mixed

What the type checker enforces

• Arity: takes exactly 1 argument.
• Variadic: collects excess arguments into $values.

Eval interpreter (magician)

• Declaration: crates/elephc-magician/src/interpreter/builtins/math/min.rs (eval_builtin!)
• Dispatch hooks: direct, values
• Variadic: collects excess arguments into $values.
