Four seams from one review cluster, all landing on the same checker
files; gates ran on the union (rule 11 body).
?-subset: the wwstage walk compared `...spread` ALIAS nodes on both
sides of the error-subset check, falsely rejecting a spread-carried
error return (`(i64 | ...errs)`, cs-accept/ww-reject) — both sides
now flatten like trycountvariants (cstage Tparams are pre-flattened
at type level).
Multi-let/multi-assign: the tuple gates keyed on the RAW rhs kind,
rejecting a NAMED tuple alias (`type pair = (i64,i64)`; cs clean-
reject, ww asserttyped stop) — both stages chase per #99 alias
transparency, wwstage rettupleof peels the alias so cgmassign keeps
the str element's len/cap stores, and the catA massign-alias error
pin re-rules to a run fixture. The N_MLET diagnostic also printed
its operands swapped (elem/declared reversed vs its wording).
Yield: match_yield_type didn't descend into N_SWITCH, so a yield
inside a switch arm typed the match void and dropped the value
(both stages); and a stray yield outside any match arm reached cgen
unchecked — both stages now gate on a match-arm counter (the
c->loops discipline).
Two silent seams in one sweep. The for-range destructure silently
dropped the 9th+ binding in both stages (bind arrays are sized 8);
the cap now hard-stops per the DEFER_MAX/LOOP_MAX discipline (the
shape is unreachable today -- every wide-tuple construction path
already loud-stops). argtaggedwidensz, the drain-side SSoT for
widened call args, still keyed "natural push" on slot-size equality
while pushargsrev flipped to type equality with #55 -- a same-slot
subset was classified widen by push, natural by drain (counts
coincide today; a classification reader desyncs, the #48 shape).
Both sides now share the wsame key; the widen-branch tag miss for a
concrete source joins the task-2 loud-stop family (tagged subset
sources keep t=0 -- their widentag is never read, the scratch store
remaps).
Lead 17 (enum fold-failure prev+1) DISPROVED: enumvalfold gates
every member init in the checker and its fold set is op-for-op
equal to cgen's enumevalmember, so the fallback only runs inside
already-failing compiles.
Every variant-index lookup miss (-1) was silently clamped to tag 0
across both stages: tagged return (value + bare-void), widen store
(struct/slice/str/float/scalar arms + push fast path + field store),
widen tag-remap (identity scan + emit loop), match case compare,
is/as typetest, tryprop error remap, and the alloc-nomem propagation
(clamped to 1). All misses are checker-rejected upstream today, so
the clamps were dead -- but any future checker/cgen seam gap would
mis-tag silently (wrong arm, wrong error, false success). Rule 7:
each site now hard-stops with a per-construct diagnostic; nullable
arms keep their raw -1 by design (a miss encodes the void polarity
for `case null`). Corpus asm byte-unchanged; bootstrap fixed point
holds.
selfhost/, cmd/, internal/ join the tree-wide sweep: every section
banner dies (91 selfhost + the cmd C-style dividers -> 0); narration
and stale contracts deleted (pre-#22 bundler notes, retired
single-PT_LOAD and no-archive claims, superseded ABI tables); every
ref/harec/qbe cite, task cite, encoding/ELF contract, and rule-10
twin pointer kept; lost lifetime/rationale lines restored where the
sweep over-cut (elf_globals ownership, kwtab linear-scan). Comment-
only proven: all five wwstage tool binaries byte-identical across
the sweep; test-commit, test-byteid (161+1399, 0 pinned-divergent),
and test-bootstrap (fixed point + 991-995 byte-id) all exit 0.
The read-through banked 66 latent-bug leads (checkpoint).
peel-ok/sizelint-ok/primsize-ok annotations lose their tools; sites
keep the WHY in plain words. Citations of retired carriers move to
their fixture or @test successors (949_errtype_compare -> r949_*,
900_stdlib -> library owners).
wwstage cgen resolved struct field LAYOUT (offset + field type) by bare-leaf
name (structlookupchain / structlookup / letvarstructinfo) at nine field
READ / addr-of / let-copy receiver arms whose base is a *struct pointer, a
value struct, or a module global. Under a cross-module same-leaf collision
(two modules each exporting a `pair`, 16B vs 24B) the bare-leaf lookup
first-matches the wrong-size struct -> the field is read / addressed / copied
at the wrong offset with the wrong width. cstage type-keys off the stamped
node.type_ (type_chase_named(base->type)->fields) and is correct; this aligns
wwstage UP to it (ww-only change).
Route the nine arms off the stamped receiver tinfo: R1/R2 *struct reads via a
new shared choke-point cgptrfieldloadtf (the tinfo twin of cgptrfieldload);
A1/A2/A3 addr-of and W3 scalar global-store via tichase(recv.type_)->fields;
C1/W4a copy/size via structabisizetn(tichase(.type_)). Mirrors #21 (5ae6e34);
the *struct arms peel the pointee with tichase(.type_).sub, the faithful twin
of cstage type_chase_named(bu->sub).
The global value-struct arms (R2/R3/A3/W3/W4a) are converted-for-construction:
a global struct's type is always explicitly qualified, so the bare leaf already
resolved correctly and they cannot be reddened -- byte-id (cs.s==ww.s) is their
net, not a value pin. Labelled so the absent reddening pin is explained, not
silent.
Commit 1 of a 2-commit arc (RULING R2 / Opt-2, .ai/ken-31-spec.md): closes the
field-LAYOUT read/copy/addr surface. Commit 2 converts the W1/W2/W5/W4b store
loops to a tinfo-native fill (cgstructlitfilltn + sretretsizetn) and closes the
in-loop nested sub-arms by construction. Part of the #224 name-keyed-cgen
cluster retirement.
Pin: test/wcc/797 value-asserts R1 ptr-read / C1 let-copy / A1/A2 addr, each
reddening under independent per-arm revert (a ratchet proves nothing for this
silent-capable class).
wwstage cgen resolved struct LAYOUT by bare-leaf name (structlookup /
structparamsize) at three caller-side sites — the by-value arg push
(cgenutil), the let-receive copy width (cgenstmt), and the field-read
offset (cgenexpr). Under a cross-module same-leaf collision (two modules
each exporting a `pair`, 16B vs 24B) the name lookup first-matches the
WRONG type, so the push dropped the 2nd eightbyte, the receive over-copied,
and the field read the wrong offset. cstage type-keys off the stamped
tinfo and is correct; this aligns wwstage UP to it (ww-only change).
Route all three sites through the stamped node.type_ via a new
structabisizetn(*tinfo) accessor (push + receive) and tichase(type_).fields
(field-read, structlookupchain removed). One commit (rule-11 carve-out):
the collision drives all three at once and no per-site fixture isolates, so
it cannot bisect-split. A scoped slice of the #209/#211 name-keyed-cgen
cluster retirement; the cgdot *struct-ptr/global and let-copy siblings stay
name-keyed and are filed (#31).
New table-driven test 793_xmod_struct_argpush_collide_run (4 scenarios:
push/recv/field over 16B and 12B tails) reddens under a revert of the three
cgen files. Full make test green (336 passed); make sizelint clean.
After the frontend consolidated into one syntax package (#74), wcc still referenced syntax symbols unqualified — residue of the old flat combined namespace, where bare refs resolved by accident. Under separate compilation Hare and Go both require the package qualifier, so those bare refs would not sep-resolve.
Qualify every wcc reference to a syntax type, function, or enum member as syntax.X across the seven syntax-importing files. Resolution-only: the resolved symbol and emitted code are unchanged, so the two combined.ww regenerate textually but all five _ww binaries hold byte-for-byte. The struct-literal sites resolve via #76. This makes w6c fully separate-compilable.
The ww compiler frontend was split across packages lex (lex+tok), ww
(ast+sym+typ), and parse — mirroring Hare's ref/hare/hare/{ast,lex,parse}.
That split's only payoff is third-party reuse, which ww has zero of: the
frontend is consumed by exactly one client, the wcc backend. The split's
cost is a wide cross-package export surface — every fn over a sibling
package's type must export it, and under separate compilation that
re-triggers check_exported_type, plus a phantom `import tok;` (tok lives
in package lex). Consolidate into ONE package lib/ww/syntax/, modelled on
Go's cmd/compile/internal/syntax. The 9 files move in (package syntax);
the intra-frontend mutual references become same-package; wcc and the
tool mains import syntax. No cstage C change (the C frontend mangles from
the source package clause). Internal data shapes (AST kinds, token model,
lexer/parser state) still mirror ref/hare/hare per rule 6/12 — only the
module decomposition collapses; the stdlib is untouched.
USER-approved (#74); spec .ai/rob-frontend-reorg.md (drew2 fidelity-
confirmed). Rule-6 carve-out documented in CLAUDE.md. Dissolves the tok
phantom import; collapses the intra-frontend export sprawl. Byte-id
rebaseline (lex.X/parse.X/ww.X -> syntax.X); cs==ww held. The residual
syntax->wcc export surface (10 types) + the unqualified-ref question are
separate follow-ups (#72/#75).
wwstage's unguarded loop-label push wrote out of bounds at depth 17
(compiler-heap corruption); cstage guarded but emitted a wrong break
target. Loud cap error at the limit, both stages, agreeing wording.
wwstage capped defers at 16 and SILENTLY DROPPED the 17th; cstage
capped at 32. Align the cap at 32 and make exceeding it a loud
compile error in BOTH stages — the silent 16-vs-32 split was the bug
(a defer that never runs is a leaked resource). Both stages move in
one commit: one cap contract.
An array-typed tuple element cannot reach paramfieldsize: the checker
rejects composite tuple elements (check.ww:2150, the #60 gate), pinned
by test 832. The rule-7 note at the fall-through now records the proof
instead of an open task. Task #39 closes as unreachable.
A tagged for-range destructure binding took the 8-byte default
(paramfieldsize had no tagged arm), skipping the full-extent copy —
the wwstage twin of the just-closed cstage destructure family. Read
the stamped tinfo size through the type table (twin of the slice
arm; cstage reads tp->type->size). Task #53.
The per-binding copy loop moved ONE word of a 24B str/slice binding —
.len and .cap read zero/garbage in BOTH stages (byte-identical, the
deepest both-wrong-identical of the drain: the F7-era stride fix
asserted convergence without re-measuring the absolute). Copy the full
extent for an sz>8 str/slice binding; the rewritten 989_tupfieldsize
pins all three header words with sliced caps so cap!=len has teeth.
The tagged-binding arm remains open as task #53 (wwstage
paramfieldsize). Review-era task #40, recategorized #263 fused.
Both stages move in one commit: one emission contract; splitting
would leave the byte-id gates red between the halves.
Returning a global struct by name emitted nothing into the return
scratch (ww) — copy from the g(SB) base. Both-wrong pair: cstage
zeroes the retscr instead (filed task #42); rows pin ww-runtime-correct
with the documented cstage residual. Review item #41.
for-range destructure of an element with a slice- or tuple-typed field
strode by the default 8 (paramfieldsize had no N_TSLICE/N_TTUPLE arms),
silently reading the wrong words (review finding #43; live repro
cs=42 vs ww=8). Add the arms routed through tinfo per rule 13.
989_tupfieldsize_run pins cs==ww (red 1/2 pre-fix); rows assert
convergence, not absolutes — cstage's own single-word destructure-load
bug is filed as task #40. The N_TARRAY arm is deferred (task #39,
rule-7 comment at the fall-through).
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.
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.
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.
A let's own name was visible during its OWN initializer: cgen prepended the
new local into the name-keyed localfind chain BEFORE emitting the init, so
`let x = f(x)` read the fresh UNINIT slot, not the outer/param x. Both-wrong-
identical silent miscompile (gate-blind byte-id). Surfaced by path
dirname/basename (was the c3-posix path->p rename).
Align to Hare (harec check.c:1439 evals the init, then scope_insert). Fix,
both stages, IDENTICAL asm: reserve the frame slot BEFORE the init emits,
link the binding's name into the localfind chain only AFTER.
- cstage cgen.c: split localoff -> localslot(reserve)+link; N_LET's 12
case-level breaks -> goto letlink (tail links once); the inner-for break
is preserved; the 4 fatal() arms untouched.
- wwstage cgen.ww/cgenstmt.ww: new localreserve (= localalloc minus the
chain-link); cglet -> cgletbody(c,n,off) + a cglet wrapper that
reserves -> calls body -> links after.
Byte-id-safe on existing code: localfind is by-name, so deferring the link
is a no-op on every non-self-shadow let (grep = 0 self-shadow sites) — 990-997
stay green. Because both stages emit identical now-correct asm, byte-id
CANNOT catch this; the pin is a RUNTIME test, teeth-proven (revert -> pin
fails). test/wcc/989_letshadow{.ww,_run.c}: param-shadow, let-in-init shadow,
rename control, arrlit self-ref.
Embedded regen: selfhost/cmd/{w6c,wwdump}/main.combined.ww. Gate: all 325
passed, byte-id 990-997 green, w6c c587f4a1 / w6c_ww 7a69f898 (deterministic).
A tuple LITERAL with a declared-tagged element reached the cursor-fill
helper (cg_tuple_lit_to_cursor) through the generic cgexpr(N_TUPLE) arm
with no declared type, so the element was stored stamped-keyed at its
constructed scalar width rather than widened into the declared tagged box.
Both consumers ran silent and wrong on both stages (#263 gate-blind:
cs==ww byte-identical, both wrong — runtime is the only net).
#64 massign: N_MASSIGN derives a declared tuple type from the lvalue
binding types and threads it into cg_tuple_lit_to_cursor + the receive
loop (mirror of the #57 N_LET wire); a `_` target falls back to the rhs
literal element type for cursor stride.
#68 call-arg: the send is made param-aware (fill over the PARAM tuple) and
the restage guard graduates a declared-tagged element to a real widen
(reusing cg_widen_tagged_store); nested tuple/struct/array elements and
tagged elements with no param decl stay rule-7 loud. The matching
pop/drain is made param-aware too so push count == pop count: a
param-aware send pushes the box's N words, so the drain must pop N or the
SysV arg sequence skews. This is a push/pop balance requirement of the
send change, not a separate latent under-drain (the standalone trailing-
arg drain is already correct at HEAD).
Closed by construction: the only remaining cg_tuple_lit_to_cursor caller
passing NULL/nil is the generic cgexpr(N_TUPLE) arm, provably non-widening
(constructed type == governing type). The four widening consumers — LET,
RETURN, MASSIGN, call-arg — are all decl-wired. Whole-tuple single-ident
reassign from a tuple literal is rule-7 loud (task #49), not a silent
widening consumer, so the residual NULL arm stays non-widening.
Pin: 945_tuple_lit_declblind_run — massign / call-arg / `_`-control /
call-arg-drain / nested-tuple-ERR rows, each base-fail at abd97e6 and
post-pass with cs==ww byte-id.
Reading or storing a tuple element of an indexed array element was
broken across the board (the fold-6 read-path). One fused commit,
both stages, four faces of indexed tuple-element access:
- FIELD read `tbl[i].N`: was loud ("unsupported field-read shape" --
the field-read dispatch keyed on an N_IDENT base; an INDEX base fell
to a fatal). Now resolves &tbl[i] via the place-spine and reads the
field at addr+foff through the existing per-kind arms (str-triple /
scalar / fn-ptr).
- WHOLE read `let e = tbl[i]`: was a silent word0-only truncation
(plain-tuple kin of #37/#58, which covered only tagged). Now a full
cursor fill from &tbl[i].
- STORE `a[i] = (3,4)` (N_TUPLE-literal rhs): was a silent word0-only
store -- the write face of the read. The aggregate-store-into-index
site handled ident/dot/deref tuple rhs but not the literal; now it
materializes the literal and word-copies. Narrow: N_IDENT base only
(N_DOT/chained stay deferred, #270).
- for-range over a const-slice-of-tuple: was a divergent SEGV; now a
symmetric loud-stop on both stages (filed #122).
The store and read were a round-trip that passed test 809 only by luck
(broken store XOR broken read canceled). Fixing the read alone exposed
the silent store; rule-7 obliges fixing both, so 809 is now genuinely
correct, not luck-correct. Both faces are byte-id-blind (#263) -- the
net is a runtime round-trip pin with distinct-per-word values and a
real call clobbering the cursor registers between store and read, so a
word0-only store or read is caught. Both stages byte-identical
(990-997 green). Pin 947_tuple_index_read_run.
Drop the `!TY_ARRAY` exclusion in the bare-let no-rhs zero-fill (cgen.c
N_LET else + cgenstmt.ww cglet, both gated `sz>8 && !TY_ARRAY`) so an
uninit `[N]T` array local zero-fills like every other composite (Go-zero
per user ruling). The zero-fill extent is the array's chased ABI size
(lu->size / chased tinfo.size, rule-13 — never a hardcoded count*esz),
NOT the slot-padded letslotsize, so a non-8-multiple array ([20]u8 = 20)
zeroes its exact bytes instead of over-zeroing to the 24B slot. The
unrolled MOVQ/MOVL/MOVB run mirrors the existing composite path; the
largest real local array ([256]u8) is 32 MOVQs (pathbuf[4096] is a
module GLOBAL, BSS-filled — never on this stack path, so no large-fill
case exists).
Closes a gate-blind #263-class bug: `let a: [3]int;` (no init) read
whatever the stack held — a clean frame masked it (fresh stack = 0), a
dirtied frame exposed it (d_array=165 garbage). BOTH stages emitted no
fill, both-wrong-IDENTICAL, so the cs==ww byte-id net could not see it.
The load-bearing net is therefore a RUNTIME dirtied-stack zero-read
(944_array_zeroinit_run: array-elem / narrow [4]u32 / non-8-mult [20]u8
/ 2D + an initialized control), not asm presence.
Deliberate byte-id EVENT: every uninit-array source site gains zero-fill
insns, so the 990-997 .s MOVE vs the prior tree; cs==ww HOLDS (both add
the identical insns). The 990-997 byte-id + 995 self-rebuild staying
GREEN is the fixpoint proof — it proves every uninit compiler-array is
write-before-read, so the zero-fill is purely additive and the
ww1->ww2->ww3 self-rebuild fixpoint holds by construction. w6c/wwdump
main.combined.ww regenerated (cgenstmt.ww embeds there).
#84 is ARRAY-ONLY; the no-default reject-set (uninit tagged / plain-*T)
is split to #113, parked behind a ruling — selfhost relies on the
current (void|T) zero-fill (the "not-set-yet" idiom).
cglet's N_STRUCTLIT init arm resolved the struct by a bare
structlookup(c, sname). For an alias-NAMED literal
(`type rep2 = rep; let r = rep2{id=6}`) the type ref carries the
alias name "rep2" but only the base `rep` is registered, so the
lookup returned nil and the field-fill never fired. The nil then
split by slot size into two symptoms of one root:
- <=8B: the small-let scalar default zeroed the slot and DROPPED
the literal (SILENT wrong — the field read 0), and
- >8B: no fill arm matched, falling to the cglet "unhandled rhs
shape" LOUD (task #7/rule-7).
Route the arm through structlookupchain (the #92/W2 SSoT already
adopted at cgenstmt:1974/:2687), which chases the alias chain to the
base struct. trefn (rhs.lhs) is already the N_IDENT/N_TNAME type ref
structlookupchain accepts, so the bare sname extraction is dropped.
cstage operates on the resolved Type* via type_chase_named and was
always correct: ww-only align-UP, cs UNTOUCHED.
ROUTED (the two reachable silent sites, one class):
:2421 local N_STRUCTLIT let-init — the #63 repro hits it for
both the <=8B silent-zero and the >24B loud symptoms.
:1250 >24B sret RETURN twin (reviewer-63). sretretsize chases
the alias for the size GATE so this sret arm fires, but
the fill used the same bare structlookup(sname) — for an
alias-named >24B literal it returned nil and the fill was
SKIPPED, so the callee returned an uninitialised sret
buffer (SILENT wrong, runtime-0; cs correct). Same root,
same symptom, sibling site → folded by construction.
DECLINED (traced, not blind-routed; rule-11 + the #101 precedent):
:2625 N_IDENT struct-copy — also bare-structlookup but the copy
falls through to a generic path byte-identical with cstage;
both stages run correct. The post-copy field-READ diverges
(cs direct-offset vs ww LEAQ-indirect) = the #81/#65 alias
field-read class, out of #63 scope.
:2511 N_CALL struct-recv — blocked UPSTREAM by the aggregate-
return shape (#272/#277); ww louds at the sender.
:1363 <=24B register RETURN — alias case louds via the same
scalar-default catch (#277), not silently wrong.
The 2 already-chasing sites (1974/2687) untouched.
CONVERGENCE: m3_letinit_typed + m3_letinit_untyped (ww silent-zero ->
6/6 byte-id) + m6_letlit_alias (ww loud -> 7 byte-id) + sret_return_-
alias32 (ww silent-0 -> 10 byte-id), plus a non-alias control
(no-regress). Bootstrap byte-id NEUTRAL (selfhost has no
alias-struct-litinit/return; all 4 selfhost tools cs==ww confirmed).
Test: 944_alias_structlit_init_run (5 rows x cs-run + ww-run +
cs==ww byte-id = 15 checks), Makefile-wired.
A struct-literal array fill sized a narrow-alias element off a bare
primsize(name): `type my32 = u32` gave primsize("my32")=0, so the
element width defaulted to 8 and a [3]my32 strode MOVQ -24/-16/-8 —
field n collided with arr[2] (kw1_101 run exit 1). cstage chases
my32->u32->4 (MOVL stride-4) at the twin sites and is runtime-correct;
this is a ww-only align-up, cs untouched.
Fix: a new aliasprimsize(c, nm) SSoT helper — primsize(nm), else an
aliaslookup-chase N_TNAME loop then primsize — and route the SIZE-use
primsize() family through it. The 7 c-bearing bare-no-chase size-use
sites are routed: cgen:993 (letemitsize), cgenstmt:1896 (cgarrlitfillbp),
cgenutil:1579 (elemsizeofc fallback)/1657+1665 (nodeprimwidth)/4791
(cgstructlitfill = the kw1_101 site), cgenexpr:6902 (cgcall vararg esz).
This is the rule-13 close-by-construction shape (one accessor for
"resolved primitive size"), not a per-site patch.
kw1_101 is the SOLE asm mover (byte-id NO->YES, run 1->0, MOVL
stride-4); every other routed site is latent/byte-neutral. Bootstrap:
all 5 combined units stay w6c==w6c_ww byte-identical. sizelint 0,
peellint 0, test-unit 296/296.
Scope fence (rob route-7-decline-6 ruling): three DESIGNED-exemption
sites carry inline primsize-ok annotations — elemsizeof :1475/:1499 and
paramfieldsize :3541 are structural (no-`c`, non-chasing) BY DESIGN;
their alias-chasing twin elemsizeofc is the routed :1579 leg. These are
the #109 peellint-whitelist seeds. Three further declines are already
correct chasing paths, not bare-no-chase bug shapes (typenodeprimresolved
:2026 / exprprimresolved :2063 are the chase machinery itself; cgassign
:7631 already chases via typenodeprimresolved, #11). The ~17 GUARD sites
(is-primitive dispatch) + the peellint finale are the committed #109
follow-on. Threading `c` into the structural sizers is dormant #110.
#101
One class: alias-blind base+esz at the array/slice ELEMENT paths —
index read/write, slice-expr, for-range, and literal-init store. The
wwstage cgen derived element size and base addressing from the
type-AST tnode; an alias-typed base (`type arr = [4]int; let a: arr`)
shows only the N_TNAME leaf, so esz fell to a sentinel (1 on the read
side, 8 on the init-store side) and the base classified as a POINTER
(MOVQ of array words, no IMULQ): m8b_idx1/range1 SEGV 139, m8b_slice1
silent-wrong past little-endian prefix-luck (m8c_slice1big exit 2),
m7c global [2]row read SEGV via the alias-blind element-is-array
classify, and (#79, ken F2a1 oracle) `type A=[4]u32; let a:A=[...]`
stored MOVQ stride-8 over a stride-4 slot — elements 2/3 landed at
0(BP)/+8(BP), a saved-BP/RIP smash masked whenever esz==8. cstage
reads everything off the chased stamped type (type_chase_named/
idx_eff, correct post-F1), so every fixed shape graduates
ww-SEGV/silent-wrong -> 0/0 byte-id.
New tichase() in cgenutil.ww: nil-passthrough transitive TY_NAMED
peel, exact twin of cmd/wcc/type.c:160-162. Routed sites, all gated on
the stamped type being TY_NAMED (non-alias paths byte-identical):
- cgindex (cgenexpr.ww): elem facts (esz/signed/float/f32) off
tichase(n.type_); etn falls back to n for the tagged/str/slice
classify; LEAQ-vs-MOVQ base off the chased kind; elem-is-array
supplemented by tinfoisarray(n.type_) for alias ELEMENTS (m7c).
- cgassign N_INDEX store + compound arms (cgenexpr.ww): esz +
elemtn=lhs (the stamped-element idiom of the N_DOT/N_INDEX arms);
chased-kind base classify at all four LEAQ/MOVQ sites.
- cgslice + cgbasecap (cgenexpr.ww): esz, base classify, default-hi
(TY_ARRAY -> $alen / TY_SLICE|TY_STR -> +8 len), cap word at +16;
global-str cap keeps the #73 carve-out.
- cgforrange (cgenstmt.ww, cross-file leg: the range pin cannot green
without it): esz, element-node synthesis off .sub (FC0 precedent),
isarr/isslicestr classify, alen off the chased tinfo.
- cgarrlitfillbp (cgenstmt.ww, #79): an alias [count]T arrtn is the
N_TNAME leaf (elemn nil) — synthesise the element node off the
chased sub so the existing prim/agg/slice/tagged/narrow dispatch
works unchanged; `...` repeat bound off the chased alen (cstage
cg_arrlit_fill_bp receives the pre-chased bu and reads bu->alen).
#8-PAIR COVERAGE: this is the STORE half of #8's two size-sources.
The elemsizeofc READ half chases the ELEMENT internally (idxeffti +
esub peel, the #8 fix) but NOT an alias-typed INDEXABLE node — that
leg is covered at its #60-family call sites by the gates above
(cgindex/cgslice/store/compound/cgforrange/pusharg). Remaining
alias-blind elemsizeofc callers are enumerated as residuals below.
- bare-let classify (cgenstmt.ww, #79 rider): `let a: arrk;` with an
alias-to-array type took the composite zero-fill cstage doesn't
emit (cstage keys the no-init shape on the chased lu->kind: arrays
keep the per-index-write contract; an 8B alias-array still falls to
the single MOVQ $0 arm). Required for the loopfill_1024 pin's
byte-id; closes the array kind of the uninit-alias divergence.
- pusharg N_SLICE (cgenutil.ww, pulled in by the same pin rule: the
944 slice_of_alias_arg row is a distinct lowering from cgslice):
esz, base classify, default-hi.
Tests: new 944_alias_idx_family_run (19 rows: idx/slice/range/init
controls + 1-level + 2-level + decl-order permutations + index store
+ compound (+=, *=) + #79 [4]u32 literal-init + alias `[v...]` repeat
+ uninit [1024] loop-fill + slice1big (1000 elems, values >255,
LAST-element readback, default-hi, .cap, range count) + re-slice of an
alias slice + range over an alias slice + m7c global 2D + GLOBAL
alias-slice indexed read + slice-as-call-arg; dual-stage run +
per-row byte-id; LAST elements asserted throughout). The six
944_alias_accept_run rows citing "#60 (F2 batch 1)" flip K_RUN_CS ->
K_RUN (incl. slicefield_wholeread_2lvl: its 738d7f4-era receive-spine
divergence no longer reproduces at the F1-merged base, verified
byte-id + 0/0). 989_lib_byteid checked: no DIVERGE entry graduates
(the test fails loudly on graduation; lib has no alias-base consumers
— the shape SEGVed before this fix).
NOT pinned (g-fold territory, #77/#78): direct alias-typed global
ARRAY rows. Expected state probe-verified UNCHANGED by this diff:
`let g: arr = [...]` -> ww link-ERR (no DATA emitted), cs 1-level
runs 0, cs 2-level runs WRONG (silent). The alias-GLOBAL base legs
added here (isglobalarr reclassify, global default-hi/cap) are
cs-aligned but runtime-unreachable until the DATA emit lands.
Residuals filed with the team: alias-blind elemsizeofc callers not in
the #60 pin family — cgun &a[i] addr-of (cgenexpr.ww:4638 region,
task #82), append() on an alias-typed slice local (:5287),
`alloc([], n)` into an alias-slice let (cgenstmt.ww:2159),
arr[i].field= float store (:8536); tagged-element READ under an
alias base keeps the ident-arm nullable semantics; checker
asserttyped on `untyped_lit * rangevar` over an alias slice
(pre-existing, check.ww is batch 4, task #80); uninit alias-to-STRUCT
zero-fill unchanged (correct: cstage fills composites);
range-destructure over alias-to-tuple-slice.
selfhost/cmd/{w6c,wwdump}/main.combined.ww regenerated (cgen*.ww are
embedded sources).
The N_TUPLE literal's stamped type is CONSTRUCTED from its elements
(check.c N_TUPLE keeps untyped/concrete element types; assignability
is consumer-side), so the in-cap cursor fill — count
(tuple_lit_gpwords/tuplitgpwords) + push (tuple_lit_push_elem/
tuplitpushelem) — never saw the DECLARED tuple type. A declared-TAGGED
element whose expr is a concrete rvalue (`return (5: size, 9)` into
(un16, size)) counted ONE word and skipped the widen entirely: 2 words
sent against the receiver's declared 3-word walk, every later element
read garbage. Both stages, byte-identical, gate-blind (ken /tmp/ken57
p8/p9: t.1 read entry-junk). The let-literal twin
(`let t: (un16, size) = (5: size, 9)`) and the tagged-SECOND-elem
shift broke identically (probes q1/q2). The over-cap (sret) arm
already walks declared params (#240/#22b) — only the in-cap path was
declared-blind.
Fix threads the declared tuple type into the ONE shared helper pair
and its two loop sites:
- tuple_lit_gpwords/tuplitpushelem take the declared elem type;
declared-TAGGED + concrete rvalue widens into the shared tagged
scratch (cg_tagscr_slot/tagscradd + cg_widen_tagged_store/
cgwidentaggedstore, the cgreturn tagged-@retscr shape) and pushes
the box words; declared-TAGGED gates the SSE row off (a (void|f64)
box rides INTEGER eightbytes). Tagged->tagged subset (eslot
mismatch) louds — the #23/#40 widening-remap family.
- cg_tuple_lit_to_cursor/cgtuplelittocursor grow a decl param;
cgreturn's in-cap N_TUPLE loops thread cg_ret_type/c.fnret.list
(the same pp/pt walk its over-cap arm does); the N_LET in-cap
tuple arm passes the declared type for an N_TUPLE rhs; the bare
cgexpr route passes NULL/nil (emission unchanged).
Ident-elem sources keep the existing slot-load push byte-identically
(t57_ident_no_regress); the CALL-elem tripwire stays loud (#41,
t57_loud_call_elem). RESIDUAL FILED, not folded (rule 11): the
N_MASSIGN destructure-reassign literal rhs routes through the bare
cgexpr path (decl=NULL) and stays silent-wrong — probe q5_massign,
task #64, cited at the massign arm both stages. The annotated
multi-let spelling (`let (a, b): (un, size) = lit`) does not parse
(both stages), so N_MLET has no declared-literal route.
941 rows t57_*: return (named + inline union), let-literal, tagged
second elem, float payload, bare-untyped payload (rides the #33
chooser through the new wire), ident anchor, loud CALL tripwire;
ken's adversarial shapes (tagged-MID elem, two tagged rvalue elems
incl. void, plain-f64 SSE coexisting with a declared-tagged box), the
in-cap/over-cap boundary loud (k57d), and the NEW #57 tag-remap loud
pinned. Pre-fix at e8977a4: p8/p9 rows exit 1, q1_let exit 1,
q2_mixed exit 2.
Task #57.
A tagged value reaching a transport consumer from a DEREF, CAST, or
UNWRAP source materialized as ONE scalar word — the N_UN(STAR) arm's
localloadop pulled word0 (the tag) and every cursor consumer then
transported garbage payload (cs pushed stale DX, ww stored 0/garbage;
divergent asm AND silent-wrong on both stages — ken f35 asm proof +
ken37v D3a/D3b). Consumers × sources × sizes all wrong: arg push,
let-init, assign, return, match scrutinee, as, widen — from *p at
16/24/32B, from identity/widening tagged casts, and from `?`/`!`
whose success variant is itself tagged (nested box: payload words
dropped). `is` and ww-match-16B passed only by stale-register luck.
Fix extends the #37 mem-based machinery (26d3754) below the 32B cap
instead of re-deriving:
- cg_tagged_memread/taggedmemread: an N_UN(STAR) deref of a
non-nullable tagged box is mem-based at ANY size — the pointer
value IS the box address. The N_UN emitter skips the scalar load
(joins the TY_FN/TY_ARRAY value-is-address skip); the existing
size-generic memread arms in widen-store/match/as pick the source
up unchanged, `is` loads the tag through the address.
- arg push: the memread fatal becomes the mem-based push (words
high→low from (AX)) — closes#35's word0-only push and wires the
33-48B INDEX/DOT loud as a side effect. Pop side drains via
pushargsrev's returned word count, unchanged.
- cg_tagged_castpeel/taggedcastpeel: tagged→tagged casts are
transport-transparent; peel at the call-arg widen decision and the
widen-store entry so the ident/deref arms see the carrier and the
remap keys on the operand type. The identity-only subset
(cg_tagged_idcastpeel) applies at is/as/match, which key variant
indices on the scrutinee's own type; surviving non-identity casts
die LOUD there and at the widen cursor arms (rule 7) instead of
word0 garbage. The peel also wires 929's >48B memarg same-type
cast row (place resolves post-peel; loud pin flips to a run row).
- tryprop/tryunw: IDENT sources load the cursor from their slot,
memread sources from the box address (≤32B); >32B non-call and
global tagged idents die loud (rule 7). A TAGGED success variant
shifts the nested box past the outer tag (twin of the #241 tuple
shift) — closes the unwrap-source half (ken unw16).
- wwstage alignment UP to the cstage type-keyed routes:
rhstaggedabicall admits N_UN deref + N_TRYPROP/N_TRYUNW (stamped
type), matchscrutt carries the N_UN stamped type (spill size +
variant indices; was nil → tag-0 clamp + mis-sized spill),
cgreturn routes memread sources through the widener (the
fall-through wrapped the un-deref'd POINTER as payload), and
pushargsrev's aistagged gate admits the deref kind.
Emitters and consumers ship as ONE commit: they share the memread
contract, and splitting opens a transient window where a wired
emitter hands an address to an unwired consumer — the #61/#37
route-sharing fuse. The test flips ride along because they pin the
flip itself: 941's two #37 deref loud-symmetry pins become run rows
(the loud is now wired), 929's fail_rvalue_cast becomes
memarg_idcast_peeled.
No-drift bar held: ≤32B IDENT/INDEX/DOT sources emit byte-identical
asm vs master 4c46d3a (probe corpus nd1: ident let/match/arg,
struct-field, indexed element, call, nullable, ident-widen — both
stages IDENTICAL); is-on-deref is incidentally byte-identical too
(the tag load moved from the emitter to the consumer).
Tests: 941 grows 252→272 checks — ken's exact f35/D3a/D3b shapes,
each consumer × source × size cell (16/24/32/56B, str + struct
payloads), neighbor-guard row, identity-cast arg, widening-cast let
(payload checked — the old cs pass was is-only luck), success-first
unwrap-to-tagged + ident/deref unwrap, the 56B slice-deref let+match
flips (payload-pinned), and 2 rule-7 loud pins (global tagged `?`,
cast-to-third-union). Reviewer-C rows commit ken's remaining
adversarial shapes (gC1 deref-wrapped cast arg, gC2 void-variant
deref, gC3 slice-element-pointer deref, gC6 56B memarg-leg deref arg
— that one a regression pin, already place-resolved at base), a 40B
deref ARG (the 33-48B mem-push leg, silent word0 at base), and a
multi-arg pop-balance row (tagged-deref arg mid-list, called twice —
the original #35 1-push-2-pops symptom). At base 4c46d3a the impl
rows fail 53/254 (silent-wrong exits, cs≠ww asm, missing louds); the
reviewer rows kill at base too (flip rows LOUD, others wrong-exit)
except the gC6 pin. At HEAD 272/272 + 929 22 rows + test-unit 284.
Residuals (filed separately, pre-existing): #216 success-tag
divergence — error-FIRST unions emit CMPQ $1 (cs s_tag) vs CMPQ $0
(ww first-param) and ww's first-param success-type read misses the
tagged shift; match-expr tagged yield is cstage-checker-rejected
while ww runs it (the #34/#43 acceptance family); `as` binding a
STRUCT payload at let-init stays loud ("aggregate init from unhandled
rhs shape"); wwstage tagged-source arg-widen-into-WIDER-slot (the
pushargsrev #21-comment out-of-scope boundary, task #55) — the deref
leg of that family is now cstage-correct via the widen-store memread
arm but stays wwstage-silent-wrong (joins the pre-existing INDEX leg;
ident leg runs by prefix-luck under-push); truncating scalar cast as
a box payload drops the conversion (task #56, both stages, untouched
by the peel — scalar→scalar casts are never peeled).
A tagged box wider than the AX/DX/CX/R8 cursor (size > TUPLE_GPCAP*8)
read via N_INDEX or N_DOT now leaves its ADDRESS in AX — joining the
sret-call mem-based class the #38b gates already speak — and every
cursor consumer branches on one shared predicate (cg_tagged_memread /
taggedmemread) before reading AX as the tag. <=32B keeps the cursor
byte-for-byte (32B-at-cap asm proven identical to base on both the
t.N and INDEX routes).
Emitters: N_INDEX ident+fallback arms, N_DOT tuple-element (flips the
#22b loud bound), N_DOT struct-field + ptr-chained-field (were silent
clamps at 32B); wwstage twins gate cgloadtaggedfield at the helper
choke-point. Consumers: match spill x2 and the widen-store subset +
nested arms (the let/assign/return-widen/arg-widen/vararg choke-point)
copy the box from memory, then share the existing zero-pad + tag-remap
tail; `is` loads the tag through the address; `as` spills mem-based.
Rule-7 loud bounds replace silent cursor garbage for the non-mem-based
>32B kinds, `?`/`!`, and the 33-48B in-reg tagged arg push (mem-based
push stays the #35 family); the exact-type >32B return passthrough
from INDEX/DOT flips from its #38b loud into the widener route. The
pre-existing >48B memarg stack blit (cgplaceaddr) never used the
cursor and is pinned unchanged.
Reviewer-37 amendment: the non-mem-based >32B loud was ONE-SIDED on
two wwstage routes — cgwidentaggedstorebp had no fall-through guard
at all (`let w = *p` on a 56B box: cstage loud, wwstage silent word0
truncation), and cgmatch's guard keyed on matchscrutt-resolved
spillsz, which defaults under cap for kinds matchscrutt can't resolve
(N_UN deref et al), so `match (*p)` slipped it the same way. Both now
loud off the stamped src/scrut type_ (the kind-blind key cstage
already uses), restoring the rule-10 symmetry the body claims.
Emitters and consumers ship as ONE commit: they share the memread
contract, and splitting would open a transient window where a wired
emitter hands an address to an unwired consumer (silent garbage) —
the #61-precedent route-sharing fuse. The CX-global-tuple-base LEAQ
arm is TRIPWIRE wiring: a >32B tagged global-tuple element is
unreachable today (module-level tuple inits are int/str-literal-only;
tagged elements loud at the DATA emit), and the LEAQ keeps the same
base_reg generality as the cursor walk it replaces (ken note, task
record).
This was the last 5b compiler gate: `match insts[pc]` on the regex
inst union (inst_lit|inst_repeat, 56B) was silent-wrong gate-blind
byte-id on both stages (payload words 3+ dropped past the R8 clamp).
test 941 grows 165->200 checks: the #22b BUILDERR pin flips to a
runtime row, plus the 56B driver match, str+nested-tagged payload,
let/is/assign, indexed return, widening (identity and reversed-order
remap), 56B memarg, ken's X1 composition row, 32B-at-cap INDEX
boundary, the ptr-chained p.f match (BX-arm) and (*p)[i] fallback-arm
rows, and the two deref loud-symmetry BUILDERR pins. At base f272068
the 11 bug rows fail (2 BUILDERR flips + 7 silent-wrong + 2 missing-
loud pins, both drivers); the anchors pass. Oracle: ken PASS at
bf21964b pre-amendment; re-bind on the amended tree pending (source
bytes changed: cgenutil.ww/cgenexpr.ww louds + combined.ww regen).
The over-cap SEND gains a per-element tagged arm: a declared-TAGGED
element copies its whole box mem-to-mem through the sret pointer
(@sretarg reloaded into DX, eslot/8 AX-bounced word pairs) from its
ident-local slot — cgexpr can't source it (tagged ident load is
word0-only; the AX/DX/CX/R8 box cursor would collide with the DX
dest-base reload). Non-ident/widening sources stay loud (call-source
is task #41 per rob's loud+filed ruling, widening #23/#40). The
receive legs were already eslot-generic from #22a except the wwstage
MASSIGN sret copy-out, whose wide=(str||slice) key dropped a tagged
element to the scalar 8B branch — re-keyed to the accessor's eslot>8.
The over-cap DECISION now rides cg_sret_retsize/sretretsize on the
DECLARED return type — the same SSoT the prologue @sretarg wiring and
the caller use. The old expr-shape count disagreed with the classifier
for declared-tagged elements with unwidened-payload exprs: the emit
took the register path against an sret-reading caller — built clean,
ran garbage, BOTH stages, byte-id, gate-blind (941 b22_reject_widen_
skew). A rule-7 net behind the branch catches any future inverse skew.
The same classify/emit class on the LET side: wwstage's cgexpr cursor
materialiser counts a void literal elem as 0 words, so a void-bearing
over-cap literal init slipped its loud and fell past every store arm
to NOTHING (cs louded via the ken-R1 net; ww ran silent-wrong) —
wwstage gains the same net. foff advances ride tuple_eslot/tupeslotn
(THE accessor): ken's K4 proved the old wide?esz:8 void-elem 8-advance
was a LIVE silent miscompile at base (declared-void-elem over-cap
return, send wrote +8 where every receive walks the 0-slot).
The unwiring also made >32B boxes transportable, exposing the t.N
tagged read's unbounded k<eslot/8 cursor walk: cstage OOB-indexed
tuple_rseq[4] (invalid asm), wwstage tupreg-clamped k>=3 to R8 (silent
payload-word-3 drop). Bounded loud both stages; the mem-based box read
is #37's fold (transport itself is size-generic and correct — 941
b22_big_box_mlet). One commit by the #61 route-sharing precedent:
unwiring the send is the only thing that makes the ww massign arm,
both skew nets, and the >32B read reachable — the one split order
that avoids a transient silent-wrong build (send last) lands those
arms DEAD, unexercisable by any test until the unwiring commit, so a
defect in them would bisect to the wrong commit; fused, every arm
lands with the 941 rows that pin it, preserving the #22a exit
invariant (zero silent tagged-tuple paths: correct-via-accessor or
LOUD with a task cite; proof-greps in-tree — tuple_ebytes/tupebytes 0
hits, all remaining tuple_rseq/tupreg walks cap-validated upstream).
Driver: regex fold-5b parse_repetition ((void|size),(void|size),size)
= 5 GP eightbytes > TUPLE_GPCAP — pinned end-to-end (construct, send,
let/MLET/MASSIGN receive, t.N is/as, destructure) plus head/mid/tail,
str+tagged and SSE-over-cap mixes, `_` skip, and the reject pins: 941
165/165 (15 new rows), test-unit 281/281. ken runtime-oracle PASS x2
(independent hand-math layout audit, K1-K5 probes); reviewer-22b
amendments (test-only): ken-K5 32B-exact box-at-cap row, both-tagged
2-elem row, chained-sret row, #37-family cite pinned in the big-box
experr. Residuals filed: #39 return-forward divergence, #41
call-source tripwire, #37 mem-based box read.
slot = roundup8(size(elem)) — 8B is a FLOOR, not a ceiling (user-
ratified 2026-06-04; the #237 fieldslotsize precedent; (str,str)=48B
predates this — tagged was the one truncated >8B kind). Pre-fix the
checkers truncated a tagged element to one 8B slot and every cgen
transport walk strode wide=(STR||SLICE)-else-8: cstage read the
NEIGHBOR slot, wwstage read ZEROS — both-wrong-differently, so the
byte-id gates were blind (prober-9 PG1, /tmp/p9).
One stride accessor per stage — tuple_eslot (cgen.c) / tupeslot
(cgenstmt.ww) — now feeds every tuple walk; the per-site predicates
are deleted as absorbed. Sizer: check.c N_TTUPLE + check.ww
tupleelemslot gain the TY_TAGGED arm (astsize already rides the type
table since commit 0). Routes flipped to the accessor, both stages
symmetric: cursor producers (lit/slot-to-cursor; tagged ident
elements load their box from the slot — cgexpr's tagged ident load
is word0-only), let-receive (tuple_store/tupstore generalized to
eslot/8 words), N_RETURN send, by-value param receive, arg
restage/drain (tagged stays loud per C-t2), destructure
(MLET/MASSIGN, ident + sret + in-cap), t.N read + len(t.N) +
global-g.N offset walks (t.N gains the tagged box load: AX=tag,
DX/CX/R8=payload — the is/as spill cursor), sret classifier, DATA
emit. wwstage cgtagvariantidx gains the #67 stamped-carrier arm
(flatvariantidxt on .type_) — its AST-only key silently clamped
't.0 is size' to tag 0; fused here because the tuple-element read
this commit wires is its only exercisable consumer.
Exit invariant: zero silent tagged-tuple paths — in-cap shapes
(<=4 GP eightbytes) are correct end-to-end; everything else is LOUD:
over-cap sret return (#22b, task #28), call-arg (C-t2 #32),
non-local literal element sources (#22b/#23), tuple-in-union payload
(#242/#22b), global static-init, element write (pre-existing).
Closure proof-grep at HEAD: 'tuple_ebytes|tupebytes' -> 0 hits;
'wide.*=.*(TY_SLICE|TY_STR)' tuple-walk survivors are all behind
tagged loud-guards (cgen.c:2535/2568/12013 widen-store + over-cap
send; cgenutil.ww:3527 twin).
Latent cross-checks closed by the accessor: wwstage MLET-sret strode
esz (4 for i32) vs cstage 8; wwstage param-receive strode slotsize
(composite slotsize) vs cstage 8; both now the accessor's floor-8.
Tagged inits in pins use the CAST form (5: size) — the bare
untyped-int widen-store mis-tag is pre-existing at master and filed
(task #33).
941 gains 13 rows: t22_* size/align folds (+ void-elem 0-slot pin),
the full runtime round-trip (read, is/as, both element orders, void
variant, destructure, literal-let), two-tagged-elem in-cap and
float+tagged in BOTH orders (ken k1/k2 regression-pinned as rows),
t.N-as-call-arg, 5 loud pins (arg, over-cap return, call-source
element, global init, element write), and the sret_narrow_mix_*
triple below. Runtime rows exit-checked under both drivers +
byte-id. 129/129; unit tests green; sizelint clean.
ken R1 (re-validation fix): an OVER-CAP tuple init whose rhs is not a
CALL fell past every cstage N_LET store arm to NOTHING — silent
uninitialized-frame reads — while wwstage loud-rejected the same
shape. Pre-existing for (str,str) literals; the #22a tagged slots
routed >16B-box tagged shapes into it (k5b/k5c/k5d, base-correct
because base truncated them in-cap). cstage now routes the rhs
through cgexpr (the cursor materialisers carry the exact wwstage
loud texts) with a trailing fatal as the net; 941 pins both the
tagged and the (str,str) spellings of the hole.
reviewer-22 (review fixes, folded): the MLET-receive slot flip above
landed ALONE on the wwstage over-cap sret family — the ww RETURN-send
and MASSIGN-receive still strode packed esz (4 for u32), so
`let (a,b,c) = f()` over (str,u32,str) read c at slot offset 32 while
ww's send wrote it packed at 28: a ww runtime REGRESSION vs base
(base was packed-consistent on both sides — ran right, byte-diff).
Both walks now stride the slot (send mirrors cstage's
`wide ? esz : 8`; MASSIGN strides tupeslotn) — closing, in the same
stroke, the pre-existing base skews: ww `let t = f()` over-cap
narrow-mix read (reader slot-laid vs send packed, runtime-wrong at
base) and the cs≠ww asm on all three routings. Second find: t.N
tagged element as a CALL ARG — cstage rides its generic
node_istaggedarg cursor push, but wwstage's kind-gated aistagged
missed N_DOT and mis-routed the box into the widening branch
(taggedvariantindex -1 clamped to 0: callee read variant 0, silent,
ww-only). cgenutil.ww gains the N_DOT arm (aistagged + pushargsrev),
the #67 stamped-carrier twin of the N_INDEX (#12) arm. The N_DOT arm
was a LIVE wwstage stdlib miscompile: hextest's import graph carried
two t.N tagged-arg sites (base .s diff = exactly the clamped-tag
PUSHQ pair) — the 989 lib-byteid ratchet caught the convergence and
#59.4 graduates to M_ID (runtime-correct per 979_hex_run). Probes:
/tmp/r22. Residual filed: tagged arg from deref/cast/unwrap sources
is a word0-only read on BOTH stages (pre-existing, base-confirmed) —
generalizing wwstage's kind gate to cstage's type-keyed check rides
that task.
The N_FORRANGE header's non-ident arm stored cgexpr's AX into the
single bound temp — but a slice-valued cgexpr leaves AX=ptr, BX=len,
CX=cap, so the loop compared i against the DATA POINTER; and the
per-iteration element address had no non-ident base arm at all, so
the bound reload doubled as the base. One slot, two roles, holding
the wrong word. An empty slice coincidentally exited (ptr==0), which
is how regex.finish's `for (let charset .. re.charsets)` — planted
verbatim in fold 1 — stayed latent until fold 4 produced the first
non-empty charsets and SEGV'd. Byte-id both stages (the 989 M_ID
entry held on both-wrong-identical); first-consumer surfacing, the
kwtab/#8 pattern.
Fix mirrors the correct local-base arm: bound = BX (len), base ptr
spilled to a dedicated .rgb slot and reloaded per iteration. Covers
field-chain, indexed-element (the task-#57 shape) and call-result
bases. Two shapes whose cgexpr does NOT deliver the header convention
stay LOUD instead of silently wrong (rule 7): deref bases (*p — the
#11 deref-spine family) and non-ident ARRAY bases.
test/937: field (value+ptr roots), 24B-str-header field (the finish
shape), indexed, call, empty-header, eval-once (header captured at
loop entry, not re-read per iteration) rows + the two reject pins,
per-row cs==ww byte-id; verified failing 14/22 at the #66 parent
bb8a44a.
node_tuplearg was N_CALL-scoped and its comment claimed non-call forms
"loud-stop" — they did NOT: a tuple ident/literal/unwrap arg fell to
the scalar single-PUSHQ default, skewing every later arg register so
the callee read garbage word 2 (byte-id both stages, the gate-blind
both-wrong class; packed shapes SIGSEGV'd pre-C-t0). The receive side
(cgfn #163 walk) was already correct.
cgexpr already fills the return-ABI cursor for every supported
producer (#241: ident via slot-to-cursor, literal via lit-to-cursor,
unwrap via payload shift; call via the return ABI) — the send now
admits exactly those into the existing @tupargscr restage + per-class
drain (node_tuplearg widened; wwstage gains nodetuplearg, mirroring it
over the local tnode / inferletcalltype; rettupleof stays N_CALL-scoped
for the destructure receives). Any OTHER tuple-typed source shape
loud-stops at the push site — the false comment's claim, now true
(rule 7). Literal tuple elements are stamped expr types, so the
restage/drain wide test goes type_isstr/type_isslice (TY_UNTYPED_STR-
aware) with the ty_str->size header stride; the wwstage twin walks a
literal's VALUE exprs the way cgtuplelittocursor classifies them.
Ken review demands folded in: (1) a NESTED composite element
(tuple/struct/array/tagged inside the tuple) occupies more than the
one GP word the restage walk counts — the checker accepted it and it
ran WRONG (inner words skewed, wwstage SIGSEGV); both stages' restage
walks now loud-stop the element kind (wiring is the filed follow-up,
task #65). (2) the variadic interaction probed: a tuple arg ahead of
a variadic tail rides the restage correctly (positive row);
variadic-of-tuples stays bounded-loud via the tuple-in-slice read
surface.
941 grows the t2 matrix: packed/16B params with branched callees,
mixed arg orders both ways, literal arg, (f64,i64) param, unwrap arg,
ken's >6-GP-pressure stress (4 leading scalars + tuple + a 7th
stack-class word), variadic-after-tuple, plus rule-7 reject rows
(chain-source arg, nested-element arg, variadic-of-tuples, over-cap
ident arg) and the fold-4 charset substrate pin ([](u32,u32) append
stays LOUD). At the C-t1 parent 18/73 checks fail: every runtime arg
row except the (f64,i64) anchor on BOTH stages (byte-identically — the
gate-blind both-wrong class) and the chain/nested args silently
accepted.
wwstage cglet's tuple receive was producer-SHAPE-keyed: the mixed
str/scalar arm required s0_is_str != s1_is_str (syntactic) and the
rt16 arm required an N_CALL rhs (rettupleof), so a scalar-scalar tuple
LITERAL `let t: (u32,u32) = (3,4)` matched neither and fell to the
generic single-word store — word 1 silently dropped (#209/#211-class
syntactic-vs-type keying). cstage's twin arm was sz==16/32 magic-size
keyed, so 24B 3-scalar tuples dropped words 2+ on BOTH sources.
Both stages now key the same way: declared-type TY_TUPLE + in-cap
register classify (cg_sret_retsize / sretretsize == 0, the shared
SSoT), alias-peeled; the two wwstage shape arms collapse into one
type-keyed arm walking the declared element list (the #240 lesson —
never the producer's). Over-cap falls through to the sret receive
exactly as before; unannotated `let t = f()` rides inferletcalltype.
941 grows the t1 rows: lit packed/16B/3-scalar + call 3-scalar fail at
the C-t0 parent (10/39 checks — wwstage lit halves AND both-stage
24B halves), mixed-lit + unannotated-call anchor the untouched paths.
Filed while probing: cstage silently accepts an over-cap tuple-LITERAL
let where wwstage loud-stops (pre-existing at master, task #64).
F5 (task #7): the N_LET aggregate-copy arm's source-addr enumeration
(cgen.c #265/#268) had TY_ARRAY-ident/N_DOT/N_INDEX bases but no
TY_SLICE base and no deref-spine shapes, so `let e: th = xs[0]` fell
out with havesrc=0 — cstage emitted NOTHING (slot uninitialised),
wwstage fell to its scalar default (8B truncation): gate-blind cs≠ww
(p6min13). Every remaining ADDRESSABLE rhs now resolves through
cgplaceaddr (the C1 resolver; enumerated arms dispatch first, their
asm untouched), and the arm closes by construction with a loud tail —
nothing below it can initialise a >8B struct/array slot, so any
unhandled rhs shape dies loud instead of silently. A pre-tail #38b
guard keeps the established `?`/`!`-on-sret loud-stop marker in
wwstage (mirror of cstage's pre-arm fatal; pre-fix that shape reached
the cgtryunw/cgtryprop gates which the tail now pre-empts in let
position).
Reviewer-C2 inheritance: `let c: capture = (*ts)[i].cap` (aggregate
leaf behind a deref spine) — wwstage's documented cgdot aggregate-leaf
loud is retired for let position (cglet routes the copy through the
resolver before cgexpr sees the leaf; the loud stays as the guard for
non-let expr positions), and cstage's silent no-copy on the same shape
is fixed by the same resolver fallback.
By-value RANGE payloads ride the same class: N_FORRANGE's single-bind
load truncated every aggregate element to one fldloadop word. Both
stages now word-copy the full element extent (MOVQ run + sized
MOVL/MOVW/MOVB tail, the #270-1b idiom) for esz > 8. wwstage esz is
re-keyed elemsizeof→elemsizeofc (the 8-sentinel hid struct elements
from the copy gate — the #8 named-narrow precedent), with a
stamped-slc.type_ fallback + element-tnode synthesis for non-ident
scrutinees (tinfo SSoT, #209/#211). The wwstage checker now binds the
ELEMENT type on single-bind ranges via a synthetic N_LET binder node
(mirror of cstage check.c N_FORRANGE scope_define(..., elem, ...));
pre-fix the binding's decl was the N_FORRANGE node itself, so any
field read off a by-value binding asserttyped-bailed. The checker
half folds in under rule 11 because the split is unsound in either
order: cgen-first is untestable (every field read off the binding
still bails), checker-first converts that loud bail into the 8B
SILENT truncation — only the pair closes the class.
FC0 graduates: regex.finish's by-value range over 24B charset elems
(non-ident scrutinee re.charsets) was the lib/regex byte-cmp's ONLY
hunk since fold-1 — cstage 8-of-24-byte copy + IMULQ $24 vs wwstage
1-byte MOVZBQ, runtime-masked by the no-op loop body. The byte-cmp is
now ZERO hunks (regex_test.combined.ww, w6c vs w6c_ww).
#36 disposition: NOT folded. p6min9/p6min10's remaining failure is the
struct-ident field rhs inside a struct LITERAL (cg_structlit_fill
under-copy) — a different choke-point from the let-copy source-addr
machinery; they still exit 4 here and stay blocked on #36 (read half
landed in C2).
Residual filed as task #43: an UNANNOTATED aggregate let
(`let e = xs[0]`) still skips the wwstage arm (aggn/letslotsize are
annotation-keyed; cstage keys the stamped n->type and now full-copies)
— cs≠ww on that shape remains, #38-family. A landmine comment in
test 805 marks the gap.
test 805: +6 rows — let-from-slice-elem 16B (p6min13 verbatim) /
24B/40B/12B(MOVQ+MOVL tail) matrix / deref-spine leaf / by-value range
([]struct both-fields sum, []capture 40B, []str 24B header) / range
edges (empty slice, by-VALUE binder-mutation pin, 12B elem MOVL tail)
/ reject row pinning the loud-tail text on both stages. All six fail
at the pristine parent 403625e (re-verified post-rebase; 121 prior
fixtures stay green there).
A tagged-union RETURN rides a fixed AX(tag)+DX/CX/R8 cursor (TUPLE_GPCAP
eightbytes = 32B slot); wider slots were silently truncated at the
return crossing — payload word 4+ built in the callee frame and died
there, byte-identical on both stages (gate-blind). Blocks regex fold-2a
((regex | error | nomem) = 64B slot).
Classifier: cg_sret_retsize / sretretsize gain a TY_TAGGED arm
(<= TUPLE_GPCAP*8 stays register-ABI — the (str|nomem)/(s3|bool) 32B
boundary class is pinned unchanged byte-for-byte vs master). Callee:
cgreturn writes the slot through *(@sretarg) via the existing widener
non-BP base (bare return stores the void tag); exact-type 'return f();'
rides the #9 sret-forward. Receive: let/assign/discard reuse the
generic #23/#10 sret protocol; the match scrutinee passes its spill
slot as the sret dest (tagged-specific, no tuple precedent).
This could NOT land as a gate-first interim loud-stop (the planned
#38a): lib/errors/errors.ww errno() already returns a 40B
(errors.error) slot in-tree — the cgenstmt.ww-documented #222 latent —
so a bare gate breaks the build. errno graduates to sret here instead;
errnotest pins it at runtime (its cstage run; the wwstage run was
already failing at master via an unrelated pre-existing indirect-call
arg-classification divergence, reported separately) and test/926's
errno-shaped row reads the previously-dropped tail word on both stages.
The unwired cursor consumers of an sret-class call result loud-stop
(rule 7) rather than read a cursor the callee no longer fills:
widening forward/receive ((A|B)->(A|B|C) mem-to-mem tag-remap, filed
#40), ?/!/is/as operands, argument position, and the >48B tagged-arg
class both stages previously mishandled silently. One-class-one-commit
per the #133 carve-out: post-flip those consumers would read AX (now
the dest pointer) as the tag — a gates-trailing commit would leave a
silently-wrong bisect point, so the flip and its gates are not
separable.
test/926: 15 rows — 56B regex-shaped round-trips (literal/local/
assign/match-scrutinee/forward/str-variant/multi-call), 40B repro +
bare-return-void, the errno-shaped tail-read graduation row, 32B
boundary rows pinned register-ABI by asm sentinel, and 3 loud-stop
rows pinned as build failures on both stages.
A one-step `let xs: []T = [e0,e1,..]` had two faults. #31 (silent, cs!=ww):
the #258 array→slice borrow wrapped the un-addressable N_ARRLIT directly as
the N_SLICE base and cgen never spilled it to a stack slot, so .ptr dangled
(`let xs:[]i32=[10,20,30]; xs[1]` returned the un-stored header 1; []u8/[]str
segfaulted). #25 (over-strict): a slice target fell through to the exact-
element type_eq borrow gate, rejecting bare-int-width ([]u8=[1,2,3]) and str
elements the array-init path coerces.
Fix (re-stamp + per-borrow scratch; both stages byte-identical asm):
- Checker re-stamps the slice arrlit as [count]T, reusing the array-init
per-element coercion + range-check (#25): in-range accepts, out-of-range
loud-rejects. cstage arrlit_init_fits gains a TY_SLICE arm; wwstage
checkletassign mirrors it and stashes the synthesized [count]T tnode on
arrlit.lhs (free for N_ARRLIT) so cgen can size the backing NODE-wise
(elemsizeofc) and count from the tnode's .rhs intlit — the arrlit's own
value tinfo carries the literal's untyped element (unsized), so node-first
sizing is required (a cstage/wwstage representation divergence; cstage's
Type IS sized and reads base->type).
- cgen materialises the N_ARRLIT borrow base into a FRESH per-borrow
@slicescr stack slot (distinct slot per borrow: a borrow's backing must
outlive the lowering, so it can't share a cached @aggargscr/@tagscr-style
slot — two live borrows would alias one backing; localalloc/local_alloc
is always-fresh), filled by REUSING the array-init element fill extracted
from the N_LET path (cstage cg_arrlit_fill_bp, wwstage cgarrlitfillbp —
same store sequence the byte-id-green `let a:[N]T=[..]` uses, the
frame-order + store-op guarantee), then LEAQ'd as the base.
Supported ONLY at a `let` init. In call-arg / return / assign position
there is no addressable backing, so both stages LOUD-REJECT ("bind it to a
`let` first") — aligning cstage DOWN to wwstage (which already refused the
untyped arrlit element) per rule-10; this closes#31's silent call-arg
segfault as a compile error. Full non-let support is deferred (#33).
Escape (rule-8 WHY): a `let xs:[]T=[..]; return xs;` returns a slice into a
freed frame slot = dangling, IDENTICAL to the pre-existing named-array
borrow and Hare-consistent (no escape analysis / GC / heap promotion).
Test 953_arrlit_slice_run: 8 accept rows (cstage runtime readback +
cs==ww byte-id, frame-size canary incl.) covering the #31 i32 pin, bare-int→u8
coercion, str readback, the multi-live soundness pin (xs[0]+ys[0]=5, not 8 —
proves fresh-per-borrow), and a mutate-through-borrow proof; 4 reject rows
(out-of-range element + the three non-let contexts, loud in both stages).
Tuple-element slices stay blocked by the pre-existing #30 array-init FATAL.
A [N]tagged-union array-literal element fell through the is_agg
multi-word-copy path (STRUCT/ARRAY/TUPLE/str/slice only) to the scalar
1-word store: the raw value landed in word 0 (the tag slot) with no tag
written and no payload boxed, so a later match found no variant. Both
stages under-copied identically, so the copy-depth bug was byte-id-blind
— a stride-only fix would still store 1 word and pass the gate green on
both-wrong.
Route each tagged element through cg_widen_tagged_store / the N_LET "BP"
tagged-store wrapper — the same choke-point let-init, vararg gather and
struct-field stores already use — so boxing, tag-remap and zero-pad-to-
slot come for free. esz now comes from the stamped slot size (rule-13);
the wwstage narrow override only covered widths 1/2/4, leaving a 16/24B
tagged element on the wrong 8-byte sentinel stride. rule-7 loud-stops
the unwired `[N]tagged=[x...]` repeat-fill (the widen call consumes the
node and trashes AX).
test/wcc/685: table-driven runtime readback (106/42/13) + a build-fail
row for the repeat-fill loud-stop, both stages.
A `let t: [N][]u8 = [a, b]` / `[N]str` literal init lowered each
element's {ptr,len,cap} header into AX/BX/CX (cgexpr) but stored only
some words: a slice element fell through to the scalar 1-word MOVQ
(dropping .len AND .cap), a str element stored 2 words (dropping .cap,
latent). Each element is 24B (post-#1) and must be copied whole.
wwstage was worse — a slice element matched no esz branch, so esz
stayed the 8 sentinel: the per-element stride collapsed (element i+1
overwrote element i's tail), the -96-vs-80 cs!=ww frame divergence.
This is the str/slice arm of the #270 aggregate-element-store family.
struct/array/tuple already copy correctly via the #270-1c is_agg
multi-word path; str/slice were the documented follow-up (cgen.c:9037,
cgenstmt.ww deferral). They can't join is_agg (that path word-copies
from a source slot and rejects non-ident/structlit elements, whereas
str/slice elements are commonly exprs cgexpr lowers into registers) —
the correct mechanism is the existing register header store, extended.
Fix (BOTH stages, converged byte-identical): cstage adds
is_slice_el = type_isslice(esub) and stores 3 words (incl CX->base+16,
the cap) for `is_str_el || is_slice_el`, in the main loop and the
repeat-fill. wwstage adds isslicel (esubti.kind == TY_SLICE -> esz =
esubti.size, fixing the stride) and the matching 3-word store. Closes
[N][]u8 (the bug) and the latent [N]str cap-drop in one branch.
The latent str cap-drop is now stored, but the indexed-element `.cap`
READ (`t[i].cap`) stays broken — a distinct cgindex/dot-selector bug,
cs!=ww divergent, filed as task #13. The new test validates the stored
cap via a whole-element copy (`let q = t[i]; q.cap`), which reads
through the correct ident-load path. [N]tagged literal init is the
remaining sibling (is_agg excludes TY_TAGGED), task #12.
Test 683_arr_strslice_elem: table-driven, dual-stage runtime + asm
byte-id; slice/str .len, 3-element stride-24, cap-via-copy, .ptr deref,
plus a [N]struct regression pin proving the is_agg path is untouched.
wwstage sized a named-enum array element (`[N]tk`, tk = enum i32) as a
raw 8-byte slot instead of its i32 backing (4), via two sibling code
paths that both derived the element width structurally and missed the
enum's underlying size:
- elemsizeofc (cgenutil.ww) was the odd-one-out among the elem*c
helpers: elemissignedc/elemisfloatc already read the checker-stamped
tinfo (t.type_.sub), but elemsizeofc went elemsizeof->primsize->
slotsize, and primsize("tk")=0 fell through to 8. This drove the
cgindex READ: `a[i]` strode by 8 (MOVQ) where cstage strode by 4
(MOVSXD), reading the wrong/out-of-bounds element for i>=1.
- the array-literal init STORE (cgenstmt.ww) computed its own esz the
same way (primsize=0 -> stayed at the 8 sentinel, enum is not an
aggregate), so a local `[N]enum` literal stored at stride 8 into a
stride-4 frame slot, overrunning it and smashing the saved BP /
return addr -> wwstage-built binary SEGFAULTED.
Both align UP to cstage, which reads the stamped element size uniformly
(N_INDEX idx_eff(bt)->sub->size; N_LET array-init lu->sub->size,
cgen.c:6387). The read fix brings all four elem*c helpers onto the same
tinfo SSoT; the store fix takes the stamped element size for a narrow
scalar. Closing both close-by-construction at the size source.
No in-tree [N]enum / aliased-narrow element existed before kwtab, so
this was byte-id-gate-blind until now. test/wcc/682_arr_enum_elem.c
pins it table-driven: global+local reads, local init-store, signed
sign-extend, and a frame-smash row, each run through both stages with
exit-code and cstage==wwstage asm-byte-id checks.
Review fixes for the #272 fold (reviewer272b gate; rob+ken ruling). Bundled
because the wwstage catch-all message carries the citation and the combined.ww
regen covers both .ww edits.
- wwstage cgreturn close-by-construction catch-all keyed on the SYNTACTIC
return-type node (N_TARRAY / N_TNAME+structlookup), so a named-alias
aggregate return type (type a=[N]T / type a=struct) bypassed both the
handling arms AND the loud-stop, falling to the scalar default = silent
segfault/truncation; cstage (type_chase_named at all 4 N_RETURN sites)
stayed correct. Re-key the catch-all on the RESOLVED tinfo (chase
TY_NAMED -> TY_ARRAY/TY_STRUCT) so wwstage LOUD-STOPS (rule 7) instead of
miscompiling. cstage stays correct; the full wwstage tinfo-kind dispatch
(align UP, byte-id) is #277. Established wwstage-stricter divergence
(cf #264), no bootstrap consumer (990-997 green).
- #276 citations at-site (both stages): the cstage >24B array-literal return
loud-stop and the <=24B STRUCT global-receive residual now cite #276. The
wwstage >24B array-literal routes through the tinfo-keyed catch-all
(#272/#276/#277). Correction: ALL <=24B struct globals truncate
symmetrically (byte-id-clean), not only float-bearing -- #276 broadened.
- Cosmetic: fix a double-encoded U+2264 (mojibake) in the cgen.c commit-2
comment.
combined.ww regenerated (#110).
The N_RETURN aggregate arms gated the return source on N_IDENT ||
N_STRUCTLIT; every other aggregate rvalue (array literal, o.field N_DOT,
a[i] N_INDEX, *p deref) fell through to the scalar-AX default = a silent
8-byte truncation. Both stages emitted byte-IDENTICAL wrong asm, so the
byte-id gate could not catch it (#263 class) — the fix converges on the
runtime oracle.
Mirror the arg-side closure #271 landed: both arms (≤24B @retscr and
>24B sret) now funnel N_ARRLIT through the literal element fill and
N_DOT/N_INDEX/deref through aggarg_srcaddr + the #265/#268 whole-
aggregate copy. Type-agnostic, so struct AND array returns are closed.
A close-by-construction loud-stop (rule 7) guards any future unhandled
aggregate source from reaching the scalar default.
Closes the callee-half of (b)/(c) and the addressable siblings. The
g = mk() global-receive caller-half is commit-2.
949_aggret_source_run pins the class: array-literal / N_DOT / N_INDEX /
deref / named-ident control / >24B-sret-deref / struct-field / struct-
deref, each summing all members (full readback) with per-row byte-id.
`let x: [2]inner = [inner{..}, inner{..}]` left the array unpopulated:
the N_ARRLIT per-element store handled scalar/str/float ONLY, so a
struct/array/tuple element hit the multi-word-store gap and stored just
the first 8 bytes (cs0/ww0). Both stages symmetric-broken; converge on
the populated result (#263).
Fix: an aggregate element of an array literal fills each element slot
from its source — cg_structlit_fill_bp for an N_STRUCTLIT element,
word-copy for an N_IDENT element (reusing COMMIT 2's per-element copy
shape). esz is the element's natural size (cstage esub->size). cgen.c
N_ARRLIT arm + cgenstmt.ww cglet. An aggregate `...` repeat and other
element shapes hard-stop loud (rule-7).
949 rows: arrlit_structlit, arrlit_structident (8B struct, byteid=1,

The array-of-struct element store/copy family — one primitive (&(array
element) for an AGGREGATE element, used as address, never deref/truncate)
across three consumers. Both stages were symmetric-broken; converge on
the runtime-correct full-address/full-copy (#263).
(1a) `a[i].m[j] = v` (a:[N]struct) segfaulted: the `arr[i].field` arm
computed &a[i] then DEREF'd it (loaded the struct's first 8 bytes as a
value) for an `[N]T`-typed field → garbage base. Now an array-typed
field of an array element leaves the field ADDRESS (the #135 read-side,
applied to the array-element base). cgen.c arm + cgenexpr.ww cgdot
N_INDEX-lhs branch.
(1b) `a[i] = aggregateval` truncated the copy to an 8B MOVQ. New
aggregate (struct/array/tuple >8B) element-store branch word-copies the
element from the rhs source address (ident / N_DOT field / `*p` deref) —
the WRITE-twin of the #268 let-init loop. cgen.c N_INDEX store +
cgenexpr.ww cgassign.
(3a) `let c = x.arr[i]` (N_DOT base) / `let c = a[i][j]` (nested) dropped
the copy: the #268 let-init N_INDEX source-addr arm was N_IDENT-base-
gated. Now computes &base[idx] via cg_dotbase_addr (N_DOT field) or the
&abase[bidx] spine (nested N_IDENT-array base). cgen.c N_LET +
cgenstmt.ww cglet.
949 rows: elemfield_store, elem_struct_store, elem_arr_store,
letcopy_{dot,nest}_prim, letcopy_subarr (byteid=1); letcopy_{dot,nest}_
struct (byteid=0 — run-correct, byte-id blocked by the orthogonal
value-nested-struct frame divergence #254). All 94 pass; test-unit 241
green.
The fold-1b unified arm (bb2f4e1) added an N_IDENT addressable-rhs source
setup, but the two stages gated the GLOBAL case differently: cstage used
let_islet || def_isarraydef, wwstage used isletvar || deflookup (ANY def).
On a struct-typed `def` used as an aggregate-copy rhs (`let c: T = G`)
wwstage copied the whole value (correct) while cstage truncated to the 8B
scalar tail — a cs!=ww divergence (rule-10). A struct-LET global already
copies on both, so the def gap was also an internal cstage inconsistency.
Struct defs are first-class laid-out aggregates (DATA storage + field
load, #129 A.2/A.3), so converge on the correct full copy on both: add
def_isstructdef to cstage's predicate and replace wwstage's broad
deflookup with the def_is{array,struct}def pairing already held identical
in defisaddressable. 949 +2 rows (array-def + struct-def global, full
readback, byteid=1).
#265 fold-1 landed the deref-rhs aggregate copy as one slot→slot memcpy
loop fed from a source address in SI. fold-1b adds the remaining
addressable-rhs source-address setups, all routed into that SAME loop:
- array IDENT `let c: [N]T = s` — LEAQ the source slot into SI.
Pre-fix both stages truncated to the 8B scalar tail.
- N_DOT field `let c: A = o.i` — cg_dotchain_addr / dotchainaddr
(#253) lands &(o.i) in SI. Pre-fix truncated to 8B.
- N_INDEX element `let c: A = a[i]` — the &base[i] spine (#252:
scaled index + LEAQ base) lands the element address in SI. Pre-fix
scalar-loaded the element address as a value → segfault.
Size (the #254 non-slot-padded ABI extent) comes from the declared let
type for every shape (lu->size / structabisize|tinfo.size), independent
of the rhs; only the per-rhs address setup differs. The deref arm
becomes one branch of the unified arm. Struct-IDENT keeps its own #32
slot-copy arm above (unchanged). With those, the whole addressable-rhs
let-init-copy family is closed by construction: struct-ident / array-
ident / deref / N_DOT / N_INDEX all full-copy, both stages byte-identical
(rule-10).
949 gains 9 full-readback rows (every member written distinct + summed,
so a partial copy fails): array-ident 16B/32B + 12B(MOVL)/11B(MOVW+MOVB)
tails; N_DOT struct-field 16B + array-field 32B + 11B-tail struct field;
N_INDEX struct element 16B/32B. The N_INDEX source array is populated
through a `*inner` to `&a[i]` (the #135/#252 store path) because the
array-of-struct element direct store (`a[i].m[j]=v` / `a[i]=s` / struct-
array literal) segfaults on a SEPARATE pre-existing bug, reported
alongside this fold. w6c+wwdump combined.ww regen (#110). 70/70 949,
test-unit 241, sizelint, smoke green.
A `let c: T = *p` (T a struct or array, >8B) copied no full aggregate:
cstage dropped the init entirely (c read garbage); wwstage emitted only
the scalar `MOVQ AX,off(BP)` tail (first 8 bytes). Both wrong, differently
— converge BOTH stages on a size-driven slot-to-slot memcpy: cgexpr the
deref operand to the source address in AX, MOVQ AX,SI, then a MOVQ run
plus a sized MOVL/MOVW/MOVB tail over the #254 non-slot-padded ABI extent
(lu->size / structabisize for a struct, tinfo.size for an array). Mirror
arms in cgen.c N_LET and cgenstmt.ww cglet, byte-identical (rule-10).
Unblocks sha256's faithful `let copy = *h`. The by-value aggregate RETURN
ABI (array/struct return truncates to AX) is fold-2 (#267, deferred).
949 gains 6 full-readback rows (every member written distinct + summed,
so a truncated copy fails): struct{[4]u32} 16B, struct{[8]u32} 32B via
both *(&s) and *p (sha256 shape), bare [4]u32, and non-8-mult tails
([3]u32 12B → MOVL, [11]u8 11B → MOVW+MOVB). w6c+wwdump combined.ww regen
(#110). 61/61 949, test-unit 240, sizelint, smoke green.
