lib/test/run.ww: fork+wait4 runner; each @test runs in its own child,
abort/SEGV/FPE decoded from wait-status, failures recorded and the run
continues; exit = fail count. Tests are hermetic: module globals do not
persist test-to-test (fresh fork image; sanctioned divergence from
harec's shared-process __test_main, no setjmp/signal layer needed).
-T synth (both stages) emits a module-global (str,*fn() void) table +
return run(table) instead of straight-line calls. Driver twins bundle
lib/test under test mode and gain ww test -c/-o (go test -c) so the
byte-id gates diff the same artifact the real path builds. Gates
989/910/997 rewired onto it; new 911 pins record-and-continue across
all three fault classes; 949 +3 rows. (#17-team commit-2)
Splice @test N_FNDECLs out of the unit after the body-check passes,
mirroring harec's checked-but-not-emitted: a broken @test body still
errors loudly in non-T; @test-free units are emission-unchanged.
910/997 table rows pin keep/test x non-T/-T, head+consecutive unlink,
undef-body reject, and plain-calls-dropped loud link-fail. w6c+wwdump
combined.ww regen. (#6-team)
Lone -I/-L/-l/-o now error "ww <cmd>: -X needs an argument" (rc2),
matching selfhost main.ww. do_test rewritten to an -I-only loop that
loud-rejects -l/-L/-o/unknown instead of silently swallowing them.
949_driver_flagargs: table-driven, 10 rows, each run against both
twins asserting identical rc+stderr. (#15-team)
'ww test' gains the istest build path (-T injection in build_one/
buildone) and do_test/dotest accept -I, mirroring do_run - both twins.
The 35 converted lib tests drop their interim bare mains (-T
synthesizes the entry from @test fns and rejects a user main); their
35 C run-drivers flip 'ww run' -> 'ww test'; 989_lib_byteid compiles
lib tests under -T (8 user-main probe fixtures stay non-T, gated on
the fixture field). Abort-on-first-failure stands until the deferred
record-and-continue harness lands with the multi-package arc.
A bare 'let x: T;' with 1 <= size(T) <= 7 matched no zero-fill arm in
either stage (8B and >8B were already zeroed) - 'let c: [3]u8;' read
stack garbage. User-ruled zero-value semantics: cstage gate sz>8 ->
sz>0; wwstage zsz==8 arm hoisted above the fill-run arm (required -
8B would otherwise route into the run and diverge) and run gate
zsz>0. New 840 pin: dirty-frame probe rows, dual-dim (run + cs/ww
byte-id); discriminators fail exit-154 on pre-fix binaries.
Fused with the lib/bytes test conversion (rule 11): either half alone
turns 967 red. The old exit(signalled+10) wrapped a real 1782-count
ltrim failure to exit 0 - green depended on the garbage. Converted to
assert form (completes the 35/35 @test conversion); ltrim rows keep
the bare 'let c: [3]u8;' as the consumer proof of the fix.
bytes EXCLUDED: its green masked a real signalled corruption (filed;
conversion rides the fix). stringstest documents the per-row signalled
pinpoint loss.
signalled/fail() counters and run-loop plumbing removed; failure sites
become assert(!(cond)); table rows and @test fns 1:1. Bare mains stay
until the -T flip commit. Spec: .ai/drew-t2-conversion-spec.md.
With intermediates following the output stem, concurrent wwstage-driver
builds no longer share paths - 950/990-997 join the xargs -P group.
Measured: 202.7s -> 153.8s full-test wall (x2 runs race-clean); the
serial tail (57.7% of wall) is gone, remainder is CPU-bound. CLAUDE.md
rule 14 documents the new reality: NNN range no longer a correctness
constraint, still keys phase membership / skip set / cache set.
build_one/buildone gain an explicit objstem: 'ww build -o X' derives
main.{combined.ww,s,o} beside X; 'ww run' uses its per-pid /tmp stem;
default no--o stays next-to-source (load-bearing for the make regen of
tracked combined.ww and the freshness gate). Realizes the redirect TODO
in 995_self_rebuild.c. Kills the concurrent-test torn-read race on
selfhost/cmd/<tool>/main.* (the 991 transient). 993/995/949 pass -o
into their per-pid workdirs; 949's '-o /dev/null' relied on the old
driver ignoring -o (audited: the only live driver case). Atomic
combined write (os.rename) deferred to its own commit - lib/os lacks
rename and that addition is an import-floor regen.
The 990-997/950/989_lib_byteid gates are pure functions of (stage
binaries, tracked sources, fixtures, harness, Makefile) and eat 87% of
full-test wall (measured, .ai/testperf-baseline.md). test-commit hashes
exactly those inputs; a match with the last green full run reports the
gates as 'cached' (counted separately, never silently) and runs
everything else - 25s vs 212s on a hit, full run on any miss. A red
run never records the key; make test itself is never cached and stays
the pre-push bar (rule 14 updated). Key gap caught in review:
examples/ feeds 996_dyn_ww - included.
Emits a timing block (durations, phase walls, total) before the summary
line; the ok/FAIL and 'all N passed' contract is unchanged and the only
consumer (make's exit-code gate) is unaffected. Measured baseline at
4ff79bf: 211.6s wall, 990-995 self-compile gates = 87% of wall — the
content-keyed skip tier (T1) targets exactly that block. Baseline data:
.ai/testperf-baseline.md.
Both driver twins: an import that neither locates as a file nor is
satisfied by an inline 'package <name>' declaration in the unit is now
fatal "ww: cannot find package <name>" (was a silent skip that masked
dead imports and typos). The inline scan is a new every-line helper on
the uncapped comment-skip core - peekpackage stops at the first decl,
and single-file multi-package fixtures declare several. 949 pins both
branches (miss->fatal, inline->build+run); 993 adds ww_ww parity.
mem.ww was retired in Phase-0; these two imports survived only because
the driver silently skipped unresolvable imports. Provably dead: no mem
module exists and both units build identically without them. Removal
precedes the loud driver, which would otherwise fatal on them.
check-(c): a package importing itself (any spelling) is a hard error,
mirroring Go. Predicate is leaf==owner at the N_USE/installdecl seam —
sound only after the PREP commits (dotted-test renames, package-less
boundary directive). Identical wording both stages; diagnostics-only,
byte-id-neutral. 948 pins the reject in both compilers; 708's
pos_selfimp (which pinned the abolished self-import skip) converts to
neg_selfimp + new pos_crossmod preserving the param-shadow tolerance
the case existed for. Checks (a) unused and (b)/(d) name-membership
stay deferred to the multi-package arc: imports are filename-keyed
pulls, so those need import->file provenance this compiler lacks.
Driver twins emit the line-comment directive only before package-less
files (peekpackage==nil); both lexers tokenize it (TK_MODRESET, appended
=87 so existing token values hold) and both parsers reset curmod — a
package-less file's decls get module "" instead of inheriting the last
bundled package (the sticky-curmod leak, task #11). Withdrawn
alternative: injecting 'package main' flips non-entry symbols
bare->main-prefixed (FFI-visible, broke 764). Codegen-neutral by proof:
bare symbols preserved, both stages emit byte-identical asm for a
directive-bearing combined. Transitional until strict-package rejects
package-less files outright. Includes 737 bad-deep pin for the
PREP-peek >2048 edge + 904/toktest rows for the new token.
Pre-existing rule-10 asymmetry: 4 lib files (decimal/ftos/stof/memio)
declare package past byte 2048, so the capped wwstage peek returned nil
where cstage's uncapped line-scan found the decl — corrupting the
strict-package check and any peek consumer. Mirrors cstage peek_package
semantics exactly; prerequisite for the upcoming package-less boundary
directive to inject identically in both twins.
package L + import P.L is self-import in Go terms regardless of path
spelling (the parser drops the dotted prefix); the text-level
import-string!=package-name comparison hid these 3 from the PREP-a set.
All three verified black-box (qualifier-only exported-API use) — plain
rename, dotted imports kept as legit cross-package.
@test was parsed then dropped (no consumer); `ww test` needed a hand-written
main listing each test by hand, so adding a @test and forgetting the call
silently skipped it. -T makes the checker collect @test N_FNDECLs in source
order, loud-reject a user main, and append a synthetic
`export fn main() i32 { t0(); ...; return 0; }` at the install->body-check seam;
the existing cgfn emits it (cgen untouched) -> byte-identical by construction.
Mirrors harec's checker-side is_test placement.
Plan-9-lean reduction (user-sanctioned, reinstatable post-CSP): sequential,
abort/nonzero=fail; no setjmp isolation, no fnmatch filter, no file:line.
910/997 rewired from a regex scanner to driving `w6c -T` directly (thin trusted
drivers; the @test content stays ww), with a cross-stage byte-id assert on the
-T output. attest_userman/attest_badsig pin the user-main and bad-signature
rejects.
wwstage's tagged→tagged subset-assign arm accepted all (lenient escape), silently miscompiling implicit wide→narrow: a (int|bool|str) holding a str, assigned to (int|bool), ran the int arm and read the str pointer as int. cstage rejects loud; this escape was the lone divergence.
Replace the escape with cstage's subset walk (src ⊆ dst): a src variant is covered iff typeeqast matches (structural — []u8/nested/primitives) OR both are N_TNAME with equal leaf names. The leaf bridge covers cross-module forwards where a callee's bare inline-union variant (utf8's `done`) meets the consumer's qualified `utf8.done` — raw typeeqast can't, and the escape was masking it for every forward. Mirrors casecovers (check.ww:4136). cstage untouched (align-up); spread-bearing unions keep the escape (#199b orthogonal).
Honest floor: leaf-only defers true module identity to #10 — a callee's defining module for an inline-union return is unrecoverable at check-time (the call node is gone; #211 fnretlookupmod is cgen-only). Retained divergence = cross-module same-leaf-collision over-accept (absent from bootstrap), documented at the site and filed as #10-A7 / census cat-A.
Test 989_tagged_subset_reject is table-driven with composition-discriminating rows: []u8 subset (typeeqast-only), bare↔qualified xmod forward (leaf-only), xmod named genuine-absence (reject). 352 green; w6c unchanged, w6c_ww 4b4496b8→4b316f01.
typeeqast's N_TNAME arm compared variant types by SURFACE string
(streq(aa.str, bb.str)), so a cross-module type referenced bare
(oserror) vs qualified (os.oserror) mis-compared unequal -> A6:
concrete->tagged silently mis-identified the variant. Resolve each
name to its canonical type sym before comparing: keep the streq
fast-path, else aliassym(c,aa)==aliassym(c,bb) (ww's existing resolver
maps bare [#53] and qualified [#51] to the same SK_TYPE sym). AST
analog of cstage type.c:278 TY_NAMED a==b / harec types.c:579
ident_equal -- NO interning. `c` threaded into 21 typeeqast sites.
B-full Layer 1: closes A6/#14; Layer 2 (A7 tagged->tagged subset
reject) stays deferred to the #199b flatten arc. Byte-id-neutral;
graduates shlex #59.15 (989 M_WWREJECT->M_ID). test/wcc/839 pins
both-stage symmetry (discriminating teeth = 989 #59.15, per 839 doc).
A module-global tagged init via cast (`let g: u = true: u;`) silently
emitted tag=0; cstage louds. Route emittaggeddata through flatvariantidx
(the cstage cg_tag_for_variant twin) so an unsupported variant louds while
valid str/slice cast-inits still accept+run. test/wcc/838.
A same-type tagged cast return (`return x: u`, u == fnret) emitted tag=0
(a 2nd-variant value returned the wrong payload). Route it through the
widener (needswiden when N_CAST && ru1==fu1, beside S1's ru1!=fu1) which
peels the identity cast internally -> correct; same-type non-cast stays on
the passthrough. Byte-id-neutral. test/wcc/837.
isassignable's untyped-float (A4) and nil (A5) arms over-accepted a source
into a tagged dst where no variant accepts it -> silent over-accept then
tag-0 miscompile; cstage louds. Reject (cerr + c.errs+=1). Part of the
isassignable tagged-dst over-accept class (#23 fixed arm3; A6/A7 deferred
to the B-full nominal arc). test/wcc/836.
A widening sub-union cast (return/let `v: inner` into a union whose member
is the nested `inner`) skipped the nested widen arm and emitted tag=0 (a
2nd-variant value returned the wrong payload). cstage loud-stops #35;
wwstage now matches: cgwidentaggedstorebp louds on the subset cast, and
cgreturn routes genuine-widening tagged returns (rhs TY_TAGGED, ru1!=fu1)
through the widener choke-point so the same loud fires. Same-type returns
stay on the proven passthrough. Faithful inner-tag->outer-index remap
deferred. test/wcc/835 S1 row.
isassignable's untyped-int arm fell through *confident=false/return true,
silently accepting an untyped int into a union whose variant is itself a
nested (non-flattened) union; ww emitted tag=0 (wrong arm) where cstage
louds. Reject unless a direct variant is numeric-or-enum (N_TENUM accept
mirrors cstage type_isnum). Faithful flatten+rebox deferred (nominal
identity, post-CSP). test/wcc/835 (new) + Makefile.
A tuple whose element chases to TY_ARRAY/STRUCT/TUPLE (>8B) silently
miscompiled both stages: t.0[i] read segfaulted and construction dropped
the payload into the 8B slot. Reject the type at resolution (DISP-B);
faithful inline layout deferred to #60. cstage resolve_type N_TTUPLE
(declared) + N_TUPLE expr (inferred literal, was a cstage-only silent
miscompile + cs!=ww asymmetry); wwstage tinfofornode covers both.
test/wcc/832 + 941 migrated.
An inferred-type array global -- let xs = [1,2,3]; -- hard-failed wwstage
with 'asserttyped: int' exit 1, while cstage compiled+ran it. The
array-twin of the inferred-global family (#135 inferred-float, #150-B
inferred-Sym-repoint).
exprtype's N_ARRLIT arm synthesizes the array type for an unannotated
literal but left two synthesized child nodes unstamped: the count literal
(asserttyped trips on it -> the loud failure) and the element TNAME (cgen
then drops a non-scalar element's header load -> the silent miscompile
that merely accepting on alone would introduce: an inferred str-array's
xs[1].len read 24 not 3). Both are now stamped at the synthesis site:
cn.type_ (asserttyped facet) and elt.type_ (cgen facet). Inferred int /
u8 / str / struct / multi-dim array globals + locals + args now compile
byte-identically to the explicit-typed form (== cstage).
cstage unchanged (w6c md5 unchanged); selfhost has no inferred array
globals so byte-id 990-997 8/8, no lib pin flips. test/wcc/833.
An overlong array literal as a tuple element -- let t: ([2]int, i32) =
([1,2,3], 5) -- was silently accepted by wwstage; cstage loud-rejects it.
The #12+#106 over-fill coverage wired checkarrlitfits for direct-array,
slice and alias lhs positions but not the tuple-element position.
wwstage-only checker, reject-align: checkletassign gains an N_TTUPLE arm
that walks the lhs element types (llhs.list) lockstep with the rhs values
(n.rhs.list), calling the existing alias-aware checkarrlitfits per array
element (no-ops scalars, recurses nested arrays). cstage unchanged (w6c
md5 unchanged); reject-only, 990-997 8/8, no lib pin flips. test/wcc/832.
Two sibling tuple-element positions stay open (filed, not folded -- they
are reject-aligns on invalid programs, no selfhost byte-id impact): #25
tuple-RETURN overlong, #26 nested tuple-in-tuple.
An empty zero-length array diverged cs!=ww in asm (both ran correct=7):
a [0]int global emitted a spurious DATAW main.X(SB),"", and a [0]int local
reserved a $16 frame slot. cstage emits neither. wwstage-only, byte-id-only.
The global DATAW emit is now gated on sz > 0 (skips the empty array).
The local frame: localreserve dropped its sub-8 floor (if asz<8 asz=8) to
mirror cstage's localslot formula (frame+sz+7)&~7 -- but that floor was
MASKING slotsize(TY_VOID)=0 (a void local), which cstage defaults to 8B;
removing the floor alone collided the zero-size void slot with a spilled
param (a real miscompile -- 1132 self-compile hunks). So letslotsize now
returns 8 for a void local, while empty-struct / [0]-array stay genuine 0.
The frame formula is byte-id-neutral for every sz>=1 local (round8 already
>= 8); only true zero-size cases change.
cstage unchanged (w6c md5 unchanged). byte-id 990-997 8/8 (the full
self-compile is what caught the void-local class); test/wcc/820 un-carves
the #9 empty-[0] byte-id exclusion + adds void-local/local-[0] rows.
Indexing a non-ident pointer-yielding base -- a direct cast
((&a):*[4]u32)[i], a call result mk(&a)[i], a slice, a type-assertion --
used wwstage's default 8-byte element stride/load instead of the real
element type's, reading garbage (cast-base i32 index: cs=30, ww=0). The
cgindex esz derivation gated on a whitelist of base node-kinds (DOT /
UN-deref / INDEX); an N_CAST/N_CALL/N_SLICE/N_TYPEASSERT base matched none.
Rather than extend the whitelist (whack-a-mole), this mirrors cstage's
uniform idx_eff read: N_INDEX keeps its own arm (chained-index byte-id
preserved), and every other non-ident base now derives esz/stride/load-
width/signedness from the stamped n.type_ -- closing the class by
construction (base set ident/dot/un/index/cast/call/slice/typeassert).
cstage was already correct (uniform); w6c md5 unchanged. byte-id 990-997
8/8, no lib pin flips. test/wcc/830 (9 base shapes, byte-id per width,
signed + unsigned). Folds the N_CALL sibling #22.
A let-global slice or str passed by value as an argument was silently
field-dropped by wwstage: pushargsrev's global branch had only the #150-A
struct arm, and wwstage's nodeisslice/nodeisstr are local-keyed (false for
a global), so a global slice/str ident fell to the scalar single-PUSHQ,
pushing one of the three header words {ptr,len,cap} -> the callee read
garbage for .len/.cap. cstage was already correct.
wwstage-only, caller-side only (slice/str params already received
correctly). A global slice/str arm in pushargsrev, type-keyed on
tichase(arg.type_).kind, with two arms byte-matching cstage's two distinct
sequences -- str via cgslicehdr (CX-base, cgen.c:1866), slice per-word
(BX-base, cgen.c:9124). Gate is isletvar-only (a def has no name(SB)
holder; cstage const-folds it -- def-str/slice-by-value is the residual
task #21). cstage unchanged (w6c md5 unchanged); byte-id 990-997 8/8,
no lib pin flips. test/wcc/829 table-driven, byte-id per type.
An overlong array literal (more initializers than the declared length) is
invalid -- cstage loud-rejects it everywhere -- but wwstage silently
accepted (and truncated) it in several positions; #9 wired only the decl
position. This folds the remaining three (one class: checkarrlitfits
over-fill coverage), all wwstage-only reject-align:
- #12a return fn f() [2]int = [1,2,3] -- silently accepted.
- #12b call-arg g([1,2,3]) -- louded only late via cgen #271.
- #106 alias type A=[2]int; let g: A = [1,2,3] -- silently truncated;
checkarrlitfits bailed on the N_TNAME alias without chasing.
Four inserts in check.ww: an alias-chase (resolvealias) at the top of
checkarrlitfits (makes all callers alias-aware), the over-fill check wired
into checkretassign (hoisted above the isassignable short-circuit) and
desugarcallargs, and the alias-let-global guard made alias-aware. cstage
unchanged (w6c md5 unchanged); reject-only, so no asm moves -- 990-997 8/8,
no lib byte-id pin flips. A 5th position (tuple-element overlong) is a
separate pre-existing hole, filed (#20). test/wcc/828 table-driven.
wwstage compiled str ==/!= as a single CMPQ on the eager-eval'd ptr word
(len ignored), so two distinct-pointer equal-content strings compared
unequal. cstage was already correct (CALLs rt_streq, the #154 cbinop fix).
The wwstage cgbin had no str-awareness -- every comparison fell to the
generic CMPQ tail; the #154 fix was never mirrored.
wwstage-only: a cgstreqpush helper + a str ==/!= branch at the top of
cgbin (before the generic eval collapses the header), byte-matching cstage
cbinop:4564-4623 -- push rhs/lhs (len,ptr), POPQ DI/SI/DX/CX, CALL
rt_streq, XORQ $1 for !=. Gated on typeisstr (= cstage node_isstr, which
also catches module-global str idents). cstage cgen unchanged (w6c md5
unchanged). The str== .s is byte-identical cs==ww for local, global,
aliased, chained, and condition operands.
Graduates 3 lib byte-id pins (test/wcc/989_lib_byteid #59.1 asciitest,
#59.11 toktest, #59.12 asttest) M_DIVERGE->M_ID -- they used == on str and
were pinned divergent because of this bug; now byte-identical. byte-id
990-997 8/8. test/wcc/827 table-driven.
type pair = (int, int); let x: pair = (3, 4) -- an alias of a tuple
initialized from an untyped literal, and passing such a value to a fn --
was a both-stage bug, mirror-twins of the same TY_NAMED-not-chased root:
cstage CHECKER over-rejected the init (not assignable to declared pair):
type.c's tuple-assignable arm gated on the un-chased dst kind, so a
TY_NAMED alias skipped the per-element untyped->int coercion the direct
tuple path applies. Fix: chase TY_NAMED both sides (mirrors the #258
slice-borrow arm). Direct and typed-alias tuples already worked; only
alias+untyped was rejected.
wwstage CGEN dropped the second word of an alias-tuple fn-arg: the
tuple-param spill at cgendecl.ww gated on the syntactic N_TTUPLE, so an
alias param (N_TNAME) fell to the scalar path and spilled one slot ->
t.1 read frame garbage. Fix: chase the alias via aliaslookup to the
resolved N_TTUPLE and spill all its slots. cstage cgen was already
correct -- the bug was checker-only there. Converges cs==ww byte-id.
One commit: same construct, the two halves must ship together (either
alone leaves cs!=ww). test/wcc/826 (init/fn-arg/return, 2-field byte-id);
test/wcc/944 4 rows graduated err->run-correct. byte-id 990-997 8/8.
An error-first tagged union -- error variant at tag 0, success at tag 1+,
e.g. (myerr | u16) -- was silently miscompiled by wwstage: the try/propagate
codegen hardcoded success = tag 0, so the actual success value (tag 1)
failed the CMPQ $0 and fell to the error path -> exit(1) instead of the
value (44). cstage was correct (computes the success tag via
cg_tagged_success_tag = first non-error variant).
wwstage-only: a successtag/successvariant helper (mirroring cstage) replaces
the hardcoded tag-0 / first-param assumption at all four try sites --
cgtryprop (?), cgtryunw (!), and the two latent shift sites cgtrytupleshift
+ cgtrytaggedshift (which bite an error-first union with an aggregate
success payload). Success-first unions (the Hare idiom + what the selfhost
uses) keep successtag=0 -> CMPQ $0 unchanged -> byte-id-neutral on 990-997.
cstage untouched (w6c md5 unchanged).
byte-id 990-997 8/8. test/wcc/825 table-driven (errfirst must/prop +
tuple-success + success-first control). A separate nested-tagged-union
construction divergence is filed (#10/#125).
let pi = 3.5; pi * 2.0 (an inferred-type float module-global) was silently
miscompiled by wwstage: untyped_float wasn't defaulted, so letemitsize
sized it 0 -> no DATAW emitted -> the pi load was dropped, X0 kept a stale
spill -> 2.0*2.0 = 4 not 7. cstage became correct via #150-B's sym-repoint
(stamps f64 -> MOVSD), so this aligns wwstage UP, byte-identical.
wwstage-only: cgen.ww defaultinferredlets gains the untyped_float->f64 arm
(mirrors the untyped_int->int arm; the codebase's own #135-deferred
carve-out at cgen.ww:1079-1082, unblocked now that #150-B killed the
rule-10 divergence it feared), and cgenexpr.ww cgident gets a letfloatprim
fallback (the same primitive-TNAME SSoT letemitsize already uses, since a
renamed primitive TNAME carries no tinfo stamp). cstage cgen unchanged
(w6c md5 unchanged). int-inferred globals stay integer.
byte-id 990-997 8/8. test/wcc/824 table-driven. The N_CAST-no-recurse
parity (check.c:1276) is filed separately (#19).
Every inferred-type module-global -- let n = 5; ... return n, or
let g = pt{...}; g.a -- yielded <nil> downstream in cstage: the module
N_LET pass-2 stamped d->type from the initializer but never repointed the
Sym, so later references resolved the still-unstamped Sym. The wwstage
checker already repointed correctly, so this aligns cstage UP (cstage-only;
no combined.ww / check.ww change, w6c_ww unchanged).
Mirrors the #11 [_]-array repoint. The fix is shape-agnostic (keyed on the
unstamped Sym, not the use site) -- verified across scalar/field/arg/index/
str/match/nested inferred-global shapes. Commit B of #150 (Commit A 5c37648
fixed the by-value struct-arg cgen). A pure inferred ARRAY global is now
correct in cstage but trips wwstage asserttyped -- opposite-stage, filed
#125-class. byte-id 990-997 8/8. test/wcc/823 table-driven.
Passing a module-global struct by value -- let g: pt = pt{...}; take(g)
-- was silently miscompiled, mirror-opposite on the two stages. cstage's
by-value struct-arg arm hit localfind(g)->0 and read 2 words from the
frame (MOVQ (BP)), never main.g(SB) -> returned garbage. wwstage used the
correct main.g(SB) base but fell through to the scalar single-PUSHQ
default, pushing one word for a 2-word struct -> dropped a field.
Both stages now take the off==0 global branch: LEAQ main.NAME(SB) and copy
all struct-size/8 eightbytes (reusing the GAP-A.ptr/#231 global-base
predicate), converging to one byte-identical sequence. The local path
(off!=0) is unchanged; >16B aggregates (#271) already resolved globals.
Commit A of the cluster; the cstage-only inferred-global-type Sym-repoint
(every let g = ... module-global yields <nil> downstream) is Commit B
(#18). Slice/str global-by-value args have the same wwstage field-drop --
filed (#10 G-valglobal-arg; struct closed here). byte-id 990-997 8/8.
test/wcc/822 table-driven, byte-id per stage.
def S:str = "hi"; S[0] silently segfaulted: a def is a compile-time
constant, never materialized as DATA (unlike let), so indexing it emitted
an unbacked main.S(SB) reference -> cstage ran into frame garbage,
wwstage link-failed. str[i] itself is valid ww (a deliberate Go-like
str[i]->u8 byte-index that lib/strings compare/dup depend on), so the fix
is narrow: the N_INDEX TY_STR arm now rejects an index whose operand is a
bare SK_DEF scalar-str symbol, both stages -- 'cannot index a def-constant
str; bind it to a let'. INDEX-ONLY: len(S) and &S are already loud, and a
def's .len/.ptr field reads (the load-bearing w6l INTERP) are N_DOT, a
different arm, and stay valid.
A rule-9 WHY-comment records str[i]->u8 as a sanctioned divergence from
Hare's strings.toutf8. The full make-it-work fold (len(S)->2, S[0]->byte)
is deferred (#16). byte-id 990-997 8/8. test/wcc/821 table-driven.
