Plan 9-style w-prefix on the per-arch tools, disambiguating from the
real Plan 9 6c/6a/6l in ref/plan9front/:
cmd/wwc/ → cmd/wcc/ libwwc.a → libwcc.a
cmd/6{c,a,l} → cmd/w6{c,a,l} binary names too
test/wwc/ → test/wcc/ 6 test files w/ w6 prefix
selfhost/cmd mirror in lockstep
bootstrap/amd64/{w6c,w6a,w6l} snapshot binaries (gitignored)
WW_6{C,A,L} → WW_W6{C,A,L} env-var overrides
Plan 9 source-tree refs ("Plan 9 6c shape", ref/plan9front/, etc.)
preserved. Hare-style driver, both C and ww sides:
ww test [path] discover *_test.ww in a directory module, run
each; single-file mode for `ww test foo.ww`
Module-by-name `ww build foo` resolves to foo.ww or foo/foo.ww
via search path (cwd : -I dirs : $WW_LIB)
Default-to-cwd `ww build` / `ww test` build the cwd module
Run pass-through `ww run path arg1 arg2` reaches the program
lib/os: getcwd (79) and getdents64 (217) syscalls power `.` resolution
and directory enumeration on the ww side.
Makefile: wwstage tool deps now include lib/os/os.ww (+ lib/strconv
for wwdump_ww) so lib/* edits force their rebuild instead of leaving
stale binaries — surfaced when test 995 first failed against a stale
w6c_ww built before the lib/os additions.
Test 993 byte-identical parity gate (C-side ww vs ww-side ww_ww on a
build corpus) stays green; all 19 tests pass.
Sets up the cc-free fresh-checkout flow without yet committing the
stage-0 binaries. The pieces are in place; flipping the switch is
one `git add -f` away when the compiler is judged stable.
bootstrap/<arch>/{ww,6c,6a,6l} stage-0 binaries (gitignored)
bootstrap/README.md layout + workflow
Two new targets:
make bootstrap-snapshot populates bootstrap/$(ARCH)/ from the
currently-built wwstage
make nocc starts from bootstrap/$(ARCH)/, rebuilds
the wwstage from source, gates on
stage-0 == rebuilt byte-for-byte. Lands
in $(OUT)/nocc/ so $(OUT)/ stays
untouched. cc is never invoked.
The fixed-point gate has the same shape as `make bootstrap`, just
the entry point flipped: that target trusts cstage; nocc trusts
the checked-in (or local-snapshot) stage-0 binaries.
Implementation notes:
- libwwrt.a is assembled with stage-0 6a, members ordered to match
$(RT_OBJ) so the embedded symbol table reproduces the cstage
build byte-for-byte.
- The driver's default lib path is $self_dir/../../lib, which under
$(NOCC_BIN) resolves to $(NOCC_OUT)/lib (libwwrt only). Each
ww-build invocation passes -I $(CURDIR)/lib so `use os` etc.
resolve to source.
- Stage-0 binaries are duplicated under both natural names (ww/6c/
6a/6l) and _ww-suffixed names so the wwstage driver's
hard-coded join_path_lit(self_dir, "6c_ww") still finds them.
When cmd/wwc/ gets deleted at v1.0, that duplication and the
_ww suffix in the driver both go away.
examples/snake/ leaves snake.s/.o/.combined.ww and the stripped
binary alongside its Makefile after a build; selfhost/test/
probes drop .combined.ww next to each .ww. None of these are
intended bootstrap inputs.
