Over six months, Ivana Ivanovska advanced cross-language interoperability in the carbon-language/carbon-lang repository by building robust C++ interop features and refining the compiler’s type system. She implemented precise mappings between Carbon and C++ primitive types, introduced a Cpp namespace for seamless type exposure, and enabled correct overload resolution for C++ functions called from Carbon. Her work involved deep AST manipulation, compiler development, and extensive test automation in C++ and Carbon, addressing edge cases such as large floating-point literals and improving error handling. Through targeted refactoring and documentation, Ivana enhanced maintainability and reliability, laying a strong foundation for future language integration efforts.
