The wcc test drivers ran `ww build <bare-/tmp src>` with no -o, so the
compiler's <stem>.sepwork scratch landed beside the source and was never
cleaned: unbounded /tmp growth (2195 stale dirs observed) that fills tmpfs
and fabricates phantom test failures + silent harness aborts, and for
in-repo fixture builds leaked .sepwork into the tracked tree.
Each leaking build now writes its source + output inside a per-invocation
tmpdir, passes -o <tmpdir>/<stem> so the .sepwork lands inside it, and
rm -rf's the tmpdir on every exit path -- including fopen-fail and the
expected-fail reject builds (scratch is mkdir'd before the build can fail).
`ww run` and explicit-`-o`/byte-id helpers are left as-is; the 990/993
byte-id comparison logic is byte-for-byte unchanged.
Two items filed separately (this commit holds the no-Makefile / no-main.c
rail):
- #13: a stale <src>.s byte-id readback (749) silently no-ops since
separate-compile emits .s to <ostem>.sepwork/__root.s; documented inline.
- #14: build-system Makefile recipes build selfhost/cmd/*/main.ww with no
-o and leak main.sepwork in-tree (bounded, gitignored; own commit).
One concern -- sepwork leak hygiene -- across 228 drivers; uniform
transform applied per-file and two-round reviewed. make test: all 402
passed, zero net-new /tmp scratch, zero test-driven in-repo .sepwork.
The checker computed TY_TUPLE size as the packed element-size sum
((u32,u32) = 8B) while every cgen cursor-transport site strode 8B
slots (16B). 16B tuples were blind to the split (slot == packed);
packed tuples hit it everywhere: cstage let-receive keyed on sz 16/32
missed sz 8 and dropped word 1, the cgfn param receive spilled
8B/element into a packed-sized local (saved-BP clobber, SIGSEGV), and
mixed (u32,f64)/(u32,str) shapes missed the receive arms entirely.
Slot layout is now the SSoT (user-ratified): the flip lives in the two
checkers' N_TTUPLE size computation only (check.c, check.ww
tupleelemslot + stamp); cgen's packed-keyed walks (t.N read, #235 len
arm, over-cap sret send/receive pair) align onto the slot stride, and
the wwstage t.N read gains the natural-width load (tnodeloadop) to
byte-id with cstage's fldloadop. ttupleelem.offset re-stamped
slot-cumulative (no consumers yet). The #242/#243 eightbyte-share
loud-stop dissolves by construction (no two narrows ever share an
eightbyte) — 940's eightbyte_share row graduates to a runtime
round-trip. Hare-layout divergence documented at both checker sites;
re-alignment is task #60. #32 send skew and #33 wwstage literal-let
receive are separate commits on this base.
941_tuple_slot_layout_run pins the matrix: 4 packed rows fail at the
parent (8/21 checks), 3 neutral anchors prove 16B/32B emission
untouched.
A mixed-scalar tuple WRAPPED IN A TAGGED UNION (the (neg, n) shape Hare's
strconv parseint returns, ((bool,u64)|invalid|overflow)) miscompiled three
ways, all gate-blind (no bootstrap tuple-in-union):
(a) cstage CONSTRUCTION: a tuple variant fell through the N_RETURN scalar
shuffle, which ZEROED tag + payload — the operands were never packed.
Route the tuple variant through the scratch-slot widen path; add a
TY_TUPLE arm to cg_widen_tagged_store that packs each element into the
union payload at the register-ABI 8B stride + sets the variant tag.
(b) wwstage CHECKER: `let (a,b)=t` over a plain tuple ident (the match-
bound union payload) left the un-annotated binders UNTYPED, so the bin
node reading them was untyped -> asserttyped abort. The element-type
distribution only fired for an N_CALL rhs. Consume the rhs tuple type
for ANY rhs (mirror cstage check.c:2017).
(c) BOTH stages DESTRUCTURE: the register-cursor receive assumes the rhs
left every element in AX/DX/CX (a call's tuple-return ABI). For a tuple
IDENT cgexpr loads only word0->AX, so the 2nd binder read a STALE DX.
Copy each element from the ident's slot at the 8B stride.
Construction is correct at ANY variant position (the resolved tag, not a
default 0); wwstage resolves it via the typeeq core (flatvariantidxt), not
taggedvariantindext whose str/slice shape-fallback would mask a mismatch.
Two rule-7 loud-stops cover shapes this slotted packing can't yet handle,
on BOTH stages, so neither silently miscompiles:
- a tuple with a SysV-eightbyte-sharing narrow pair (e.g. (i32,i32,u64)),
caught by the 8+payload > slot-size guard (the eightbyte tuple
classification is #243);
- a tuple built from a BARE LITERAL element (`true`/`false`, suffix-less
`7`). cstage's cg_tag_for_variant can't type the literal (#241), returns
-1, and loud-stops. wwstage types `true` as bool and `7` as untyped_int,
so flatvariantidxt WOULD resolve the variant — a program cstage rejects
but wwstage accepts is the cs!=ww divergence rule 10 forbids. wwstage
mirrors cstage's CONDITION (a bare-literal element), not its -1
mechanism, with an explicit guard that aligns the richer side DOWN. Lift
BOTH guards together when #241 lands cstage literal typing -> symmetric
accept.
Test 940_tuple_in_union: 4 K_RUN rows (variant 0, void arm, tuple at
variant 1 two ways) x cstage-run + wwstage-run + cs==ww byte-id, plus 2
K_BUILDERR rows (eightbyte-share, bare-literal) asserting a loud stop with
the #242 diagnostic on BOTH drivers = 16 ok.
