Read-side fix dual to fldloadop: signed-narrow local/global ident loads
now MOVSXD/MOVSWQ/MOVSBQ from the slot instead of raw MOVQ. Deref-stores
(MOVL/MOVW/MOVB) no longer corrupt downstream i64 widens. Compound RMW
restructured to gate direct-mem ADDQ/SUBQ on load_op == MOVQ. Top-level
lets use LEAQ+indirect (w6a doesn't expose MOVSXD/MOVSWQ/MOVSBQ for
D_EXTERN).
dotchainresolve out-params restored to natural *i32 (workaround retired).
selfhost/CLAUDE.md graduated.
`let x: T;` for str/slice/tuple/struct/tagged previously left the slot
holding stack garbage — only 8B-primitive slots were zeroed. This bit
`expectbindname` in lib/ww/parse: `let empty: str; *into = empty;` was
copying stack bytes (often a recently-vacated str descriptor) into the
caller's `id`, so wwstage emitted `_` discard nodes carrying random
text instead of "". Both stages now zero the full slot on no-rhs lets;
`[N]T` arrays keep the per-index-write contract.
Also tightens the two known buggy sites: parse.ww `expectbindname`
writes `*into = ""` directly, expr.ww `_` primary returns the bare
newnode (amalloc already zeroes).
Six fixes across the toolchain, surfaced by lib/lisp porting work.
1. f64 compound assigns (`acc += d`, `-=`, `*=`, `/=`). Both stages
load slot → X1, OP X0 into X1, store back (ADDSD/SUBSD/MULSD/
DIVSD are reg-reg only). Previous MOVSD-overwrite dropped the
OP. Locals and top-level lets.
2. Top-level `[N]u8` arrays + `&arr[i]`. let_emit_size grows a
TY_ARRAY branch so zero-init DATAW lands; cgindex / N_INDEX
store / `&base[i]` all detect a global array base and use
LEAQ name(SB) instead of LEAQ (BP). TK_AMP no longer pre-
evaluates the operand as a value-load — `&base[i]` computes
base + i*esz directly. Unblocks Hare's static-buffer pattern:
strconv.{u64,i64,f64}tos graduate to module-level `*_buf`
arrays and return owned views.
3. Cross-module `pkg.Enum.MEMBER`. Nested N_DOT chains that
don't fold to a known shape now emit `MOVQ <leaf>(SB), AX`
(mirrors the bare-IDENT unresolved fallback), so isolation
probes — and the test 990 cgen-match floor — stay consistent
across stages. strconv exposes `base` as a real `enum i32`;
callers updated. The `main` exemption (linker entry-point
keeps bare name even when not exported) mirrors C-side
collectmods into selfhost cgendecl.
4. Sum-typed parameter ABI. lib/bytes.{index,rindex} take
`(u8 | []u8)` needle; lib/strings.byteindex / rbyteindex take
`(str | rune)` needle (Hare-shaped; the byte-wise misnomer
`index` is dropped). tagged_arg_size cap bumps to 48 (6 int
regs), with a new partial-fit branch on the callee: when an
N-word tagged arg overflows remaining regs, fill what fits and
stitch the rest from positive BP offsets. scanlocals MCASE
handles slice binds (24B) and walks each arm with a saved /
restored seenmark set so two arms naming the same local each
get their own slot — matches cstage's per-arm scope reset.
5. 4-reg tagged-return ABI (AX=tag, DX=word0, CX=word1, R8=word2),
up from 3 regs. Slice-payload variants (`([]T | E)`, slot 32B)
round-trip ptr/len/cap end-to-end. Every receive site updates:
let-init via cgwidentaggedstore, match scrutinee spill, cgindex
tagged-element load (both N_IDENT and fallback bases),
pushargsrev tagged-ident arg (reads word count from slot size),
cgreturn slice variant in the shuffle path.
6. `expr: TaggedAlias` is a widening, not a re-interpret. C cgen +
selfhost cgwidentaggedstore peel an N_CAST whose destination IS
the union — so cgexpr's natural shape (str: AX=ptr, BX=len;
slice: AX=ptr, BX=len, CX=cap) is consumed by the matching
concrete-variant branch instead of being misread as a tagged
AX/DX/CX triple. Inner casts to a concrete variant (`7: i32`)
keep their type for proper tag lookup. `[N]Alias` arrays
resolve element size via slotsize + aliaslookup, and aliaslookup
strips a `pkg.` prefix so cross-module references work.
lib/fmt grows `formattable = (i64 | str | bool | rune)` plus
`printv` / `printlnv` taking an explicit `[]formattable` slice (the
receive side of Hare's `args: formattable...`). Call-site variadic
gather isn't wired — callers either hand-build the slice or compose
strconv.i64tos + strings.concat.
700_e2e: 114 → 123 rows (f64 compound, top-level u8 arrays + `&buf[i]`,
pkg.Enum.MEMBER, sum-typed (str|rune) and (u8|[]u8) params, 4-reg
slice-return ABI, formattable array). 26/26 tests, bootstrap stable
through ww4.
