Receive side of #4's cgreturn ABI (aee8149) for TY_STRUCT lvalues of
size <=24B. Producer materialises rhs into AX=bytes[0..7], DX=[8..15],
CX=[16..23], zero-padded to 24B; receive sites here read the regs and
write only `declared sz` bytes — MOVQ for full 8B chunks plus a sized
tail (MOVL/MOVW/MOVB) by the *declared* struct size. ASYMMETRY: do NOT
mirror the sender's three uniform MOVQs, else trailing 1..7B chunks
overrun the next local slot. Tail chunks in {3,5,6,7} are unreachable
under WW struct align rules (size%align==0) and fall through.
Five sites wired in each stage (cstage cgen.c, wwstage cgenexpr.ww +
cgenstmt.ww), call-result + structlit rhs at each:
- N_LET `let s: T = bar()` / `= T{...}` cgenstmt cglet
- N_ASSIGN N_IDENT-lhs `s = bar()` / `= T{...}` cgenexpr cgassign
- N_ASSIGN single-DOT local-base `o.f = ...`
- N_ASSIGN single-DOT ptr-base auto-deref `p.f = ...`
- N_ASSIGN single-DOT global-base `g.f = ...`
- N_ASSIGN chained-DOT depth>=2 `o.m.in = ...`
(The four dot-flavors share one shape pattern, hence "5 sites".) Where
the dst addr needs scratch (ptr-base/global-base/via_cx), it is loaded
into BX after the call so CX stays as the third value word; for
structlit field-walks BX is reloaded before each store since cgexpr
clobbers AX/BX between fields.
wwstage needed a new `structnaturalsize(si)` helper (cgenutil.ww):
si.totsize is mis-named — it's slot-padded to 8 by registerstruct for
stack-slot use, while the receive ABI wants the type's natural size
(max(foff+fsz)). Splitting si.totsize into naturalsize + slotsize is
tracked as the wwstage struct sizing follow-up (task #15); until that
lands, the helper recovers the natural size at receive sites.
Test 701_cgassign_struct.c (18 rows, 3 checks each — cstage value,
wwstage value, asm byte-identity), wired in Makefile after 698. The
headline ASYMMETRY case is the 20B `{i32×5}` row: sender pads to 24B
via three MOVQs, receiver writes MOVQ AX +0, MOVQ DX +8, MOVL CX +16.
A regression to a MOVQ tail there overruns 4B past the slot and
flips the exit-code check.
smoke.combined.ww is the auto-regen ride-along of strings.freeall
landing in 714d089 (worker-shlex).
Pre-existing gaps surfaced and tracked separately (not fixed here,
out of scope):
- task #16: silent drop of `(*p).f = ...` explicit-deref dot lhs.
- task #17: silent zero of nested STRUCTLIT field in N_LET / N_ASSIGN
initializer — the field_chain and field_global test rows use
explicit field writes (`o.m.t = 10i64;`) rather than nested
literals as a fixture-level workaround.
- task #9: module-name-mangle for fn labels avoided in the
field_global_call fixture by `let g: outer;` (no init).
make test: 59/59. 994_w6c_ww + 995_self_rebuild PASS — bootstrap
byte-identity is the load-bearing proof for this commit's scope.
Whole-struct return ABI for sizes <=24B. Both stages materialise rhs
into a zero-padded 24B @retscr scratch slot, then load AX=bytes[0..7],
DX=bytes[8..15], CX=bytes[16..23] unconditionally — three MOVQs
regardless of declared struct size, so the receive side (landing in
task #5) can read all three words and mask by the declared size. R8
stays reserved for the tagged-return 4th word; the uniform-MOVQ shape
is cheap over a size-conditional partial-load and keeps the producer
diff vs the existing tagged-return AX/DX/CX/R8 path minimal.
Two rhs shapes wired this pass: N_IDENT (word-copy from rhs local slot,
MOVQ pairs + MOVL/MOVB tail bounded by declared struct size) and
N_STRUCTLIT (field-walk; tagged fields delegate to the existing tagged
widening helper, float fields go through X0, int fields use MOVQ/MOVL/
MOVB by field size). Sizes >24B fall through to the existing scalar
path (only AX gets the first qword), pending sret in a future task.
N_CALL chain-return (`return otherfn()`) is deferred to task #5's
receive side — until that lands the call-result lives in caller regs.
The wwstage mirror in cgenstmt.ww matches cgen.c byte-for-byte on the
new branch; cgendecl.ww's scanlocals pre-reserves 24B for @retscr under
the same predicate (N_RETURN, fnret is N_TNAME, structlookup hit,
totsize<=24, rhs is N_IDENT|N_STRUCTLIT) since wwstage writes its
prologue SUBQ from the upfront frame total — cstage patches SUBQ at fn
end so it can allocate inline.
Latent fsz==2 MOVW divergence between stages (cstage structlit int-
branch only special-cases fsz 1/4, wwstage's fieldstoreop also returns
MOVW for fsz==2) tracked as task #13; not exercised by the new fixtures
or by any current selfhost <=24B struct return.
main.combined.ww files also pick up worker-checkfix's wwstage
architectural comment from 7f60ebb (auto-regen ran after that commit).
In cmd/wcc/check.c the pass-1.5 SK_USE→SK_DEF/SK_FN/SK_VAR promotion
sites forgot to set prev->use_alias = 1 when the imported module's
top-level decl shadowed the SK_USE leaf in flat scope. Downstream
dot-prefixed lookups (resolve_typename L77, N_DOT L709) gate the
module-head walk on (SK_USE || use_alias), so `mod.flag` resolution
fell through to "unknown type". The SK_TYPE precedent at L1660 had
the line; the three sister sites at L1709/L1722/L1736 now do too,
in the same one-line shape and field-set order.
The wwstage selfhost/cmd/wcc/check.ww uses coexistence rather than
in-place promotion: SK_USE and same-leaf SK_TYPE/FN/DEF/VAR live as
separate entries differentiated by sym.mod, and scopelookupinmodule's
mod-filter already disambiguates dotted lookups — no use_alias flag
needed, so the cstage bug is structurally non-reachable there. An
architectural note at installdecl documents this divergence-by-design
and warns against porting the flag (adding a field to `sym` changes
its size and risks the wwstage cgen amalloc-undersize trap).
Audit covered every SK_USE→SK_X promotion path in check.c (4 sites:
SK_TYPE already-correct as precedent, SK_DEF/SK_FN/SK_VAR fixed). The
surfacing case was lib/fnmatch: `fn fnmatch(...)` shadows the SK_USE
leaf, so `fnmatch.flag` failed in worker-fnmatch's WIP — that test
(972_fnmatch_run) now flips PASS as live integration proof.
test/wcc/699_use_promote_alias.c pins all four rows with a single
table-driven driver (type/fn/def/var → use mod; let m: mod.flag =
mod.flag.A; return m: i32, expecting exit 42 per row). 995_self_rebuild
byte-identity holds.
cgdot of a tagged-union struct field previously dropped the AX/DX/CX/R8
payload-register convention used by tagged-union returns: cstage's
direct-struct branch stopped at CX (size > 16) and never loaded R8
(slice-payload variants, slot 32B); the via_ptr branch had no TY_TAGGED
handler at all, falling through to fldloadop and yielding only the tag
in AX. The N_DOT scrutinee fallback in N_MATCH similarly stored only AX
into the spill slot. Wwstage cgdot had no TY_TAGGED branch in any of
the direct, *struct, or top-level-global field-load paths, and cgmatch's
non-ident scrutinee branch didn't recognise N_DOT — dispatch always
computed want = 0 and the spill scratch was hardcoded 24B. The combined
effect: any code reading `s.taggedfield` and consuming more than one
quadword of the payload saw garbage in the upper halves.
Cstage: extended the direct-struct TY_TAGGED branch with an R8 load for
size > 24 (CX still loaded last so global LEAQ-into-CX rooting
survives), added a parallel TY_TAGGED handler to the via_ptr (TY_PTR
inner TY_STRUCT) field branch, and extended the N_DOT scrutinee spill
fallback in N_MATCH to write DX/CX/R8 alongside AX.
Wwstage: new cgloadtaggedfield helper emits the four-register load with
CX-last ordering, and dotfieldtnode resolves a field's declared type
node for a local-ident or *struct base. cgdot grew three TY_TAGGED
branches (direct local, *struct deref staging in BX, top-level global
through CX). cgmatch's non-ident-scrutinee branch grew an N_DOT type-
extraction path mirroring the N_CALL / N_INDEX shapes and now sizes the
@match_spill slot from slotsize(scrutt) so slice-payload variants don't
overflow the historical 24B alloc. rhstaggedabicall accepts N_DOT so
`let copy: ev = h.e;` and tagged-arg call sites pass through the
tagged-source spill branch of cgwidentaggedstore.
Out of scope for #28 and left as separate latents: wwstage's match-arm
bind for a TY_STRUCT-typed variant copies only 8B (cstage falls back
to bu->size; wwstage's bsz=8 default), and the variant-index lookup
for an i64 literal in (i32 | i64) picks the wrong tag on the write
side. Both surface in struct-payload tagged unions and merit their
own tasks; the new test rows steer clear so #28's fix verifies
end-to-end on scalar / str / slice payloads.
Test 693_dot_tagged_source — three variant shapes (16B i64, 24B str,
32B slice) read from direct local, *struct param, top-level global,
and let-init round-trip. The 32B-slice rows verify v.cap (R8 / +24)
so dropping the upper-word load isn't masked by len-only checks; the
top-level-global row routes the write through *p because the direct
global-LHS tagged store is a separate wwstage gap (followup). Three
negative controls (untagged i32 / str / slice fields) keep the new
TY_TAGGED guard from shadowing the existing field-load paths. Wired
into make test; 37 tests total. Bootstrap ww2 == ww3 == ww4
byte-identical.
Extended cg_widen_tagged_store (cstage) / cgwidentaggedstore (wwstage)
to take a base_reg/basereg parameter so the primitive supports non-BP
destinations. Cstage extends body in-place via via_outer gate +
spill+scratch+copy-out; wwstage splits into wrapper (non-BP) +
cgwidentaggedstorebp (BP-only) to dodge the no-goto constraint. New
N_ASSIGN field TY_TAGGED branch routes through the primitive for all
rhs shapes.
Scope-adjacent: fieldsize recurses through N_TTAGGED via slotsize and
TNAME-aliased-to-tagged via aliaslookup. Needed for the test fixtures.
Wwstage read-side N_DOT-of-tagged-field source is filed as task #28;
test rows use mark-canary verification until that lands.
Parallel to TY_STR/TY_SLICE branches at cgen.c:1939/1962. Word-copy
from src slot to field+k*8 via AX, MOVL/MOVB ragged tail. N_IDENT
rhs only — struct-call-result and struct-literal rhs are different
code paths, filed as task #27. Symmetric in N_ASSIGN field case AND
spine-walker terminal; mirrored in wwstage cgassign four sub-shapes
(*struct base, direct local, global, spine terminal).
Parallel to the existing TY_STR branch at cgen.c:1939. Stores AX/BX/CX
at field+0/+8/+16 across three sub-shapes (via_ptr, is_global, direct
local) — DX as addr scratch where needed so CX (cap) survives.
Symmetric in wwstage cgassign. Surfaces tasks #25 (whole-struct rhs)
and #26 (whole-tagged rhs) in the same locus class.
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.
TK_AMP early-exit on slice/str .len/.cap pseudo-fields now returns
*i64 instead of legacy *i32. Slice ABI is 24B fixed; LEAQ at the slot
was already correct, only the pointer typing was wrong — store-width
flips from MOVL to MOVQ via the existing primsize-from-tnode path.
&s.ptr untouched (already **T).
Symmetric write-side counterpart of #8, bundled across both stages.
cstage [N]Struct write was broken (1986 gated on TY_PTR); wwstage had
no N_DOT(N_INDEX) write branch at all. New branch covers both
[N]*Struct and [N]Struct via viaptr flag, uses fldstoreop for
scalar/sub-word, MOVSS/MOVSD for float, two-MOVQ for str rhs.
Compound (PLUSEQ etc.) wired for integer scalar.
cstage cmd/w6c/cgen.c gained the missing N_DOT N_INDEX-lhs branch.
Covers both [N]*Struct and [N]Struct via fldloadop. wwstage already
handled [N]*Struct since 7c75dd2; refactored to mirror cstage exactly
and added [N]Struct. The spill workaround in dotchainresolve stays
(Pike rule); task #14 retires it as a follow-up.
Wwstage cgassign N_DOT(N_INDEX,...) silent store-drop discovered in
scope, filed as task #16.
type_isunsigned recurses TY_ENUM and includes TY_RUNE on both stages.
13 LOAD + 6 STORE ladder sites (cstage) plus 4 more wwstage stragglers
in cgindex/cgforrange collapsed to fldloadop/fldstoreop helpers. N_CAST
narrow gate symmetrised; task #1's literal-kind workaround retired.
bool kept out of type_isunsigned, special-cased in field helpers.
Retroactively fixes a u32 mis-sign-extend in deref-compound (sz=4
hardcoded MOVSXD), pinned by new 660_field_signed row.
Loop-shaped spine walker for value-struct chains (o.i.a) and slice/str
pseudo-fields (s.buf.len), read+write, both stages. SB-fallback at the
catch-all preserved for unresolved module-qualified idents.
Follow-ups filed: tasks #7-#10 (wwstage >6-arg frame over-alloc, chained
array-elem field BX loss, & through chained DOT, signed sub-word field
loads zero-extend).
Both stages were eagerly evaluating RHS regardless of LHS (eager
ANDQ/ORQ on the two results). Now: eval LHS into AX, CMPQ $0 +
JE/JNE to a per-call-site label, eval RHS into AX, fall through.
AX holds the LHS sentinel on the skipped path — typechecker
already enforces bool operands.
Surfaced by lib/getopt's nil-argv guard segfault. Six new rows in
test/wcc/700_e2e.c, three of which segfault pre-fix. lib/getopt
test comment relaxed; nested-if kept as regression marker.
Two cgen/check bugs surfaced by new lib modules, plus the modules
themselves (crc64, siphash, random, base64, base32).
1. `(big_u64): u32` (and `: u16`, `: u8`, `: bool`) didn't truncate.
N_CAST emitted nothing for int↔int; the value stayed in AX with
its upper bits intact and downstream CMPQ/DIVQ misread the slot.
The TK_TILDE path already had clamp logic for the same reason —
N_CAST was the missing case. Both stages now MOVL r,r for u32 and
ANDQ $mask for u8/u16/bool. Signed-narrow (i8/i16/i32) stays
no-op until w6a grows reg-reg MOVSBQ/MOVSWQ/MOVSXD. selfhost
cgcast walks alias chains via aliaslookup before checking
primsize/typenameisunsigned so `(u: random)` where
`type random = u64` still bypasses the clamp.
See cmd/w6c/cgen.c N_CAST and selfhost/cmd/wcc/cgenexpr.ww cgcast.
2. `mod.mod` type refs (`random.random` when the imported module
declares `export type random = u64;`) failed with "unknown type".
The driver concatenates imports into one flat scope, so SK_USE
`random` collided with SK_TYPE `random` and scope_define silently
dropped the use. resolve_typename's leaf lookup required
`kind == SK_USE` and gave up. Adds a `use_alias` flag to Sym; the
pass-1 decl scan now marks colliding syms in both directions
(use-after-type and type-after-use). resolve_typename and the
N_DOT cexpr branch treat `use_alias` like SK_USE for qualified
lookup. selfhost check.ww was already lenient on this path so no
ww-side change was needed; bootstrap fixed point (990-995) holds.
See cmd/wcc/check.c installdecl pass + N_DOT/resolve_typename and
cmd/wcc/ww.h Sym.use_alias.
New modules under lib/, each with @test vectors in *_test.ww and wired
into test/wcc/900_stdlib.c (26 modules → all compile):
- lib/hash/crc64 ECMA, ISO (mirror of crc32 shape)
- lib/hash/siphash SipHash-2-4, buffer-based sum/sum24
- lib/math/random SplitMix64 (init, next, u32n, u64n)
- lib/encoding/base64 RFC 4648 std + url-safe encode/decode + sizes
- lib/encoding/base32 RFC 4648 std + base32hex encode/decode + sizes
Seven fixes across the toolchain, plus three new lib/hash modules
(adler32, crc16, crc32) that surfaced them.
1. `~x` on u8/u16/u32 left the upper bits set: NOTQ inverts the
whole 64-bit register and nothing trimmed it back to type
width, so a returned `u16` would compare 64-bit against a
typed literal and disagree. Both stages now mask after NOTQ
for narrow unsigned: AND $0xFF/0xFFFF for u8/u16, MOVL r,r for
u32 (ANDQ $0xFFFFFFFF sign-extends imm32 and is a no-op).
Signed narrows stay sign-extended and need no fix-up. See
cmd/w6c/cgen.c N_UN TK_TILDE and selfhost cgenexpr.ww cgun
TK_TILDE with new nodeprimwidth helper.
2. w6a had no D_CONST immediate path for ANDQ / ORQ. cgen would
emit `ANDQ $65535, AX` and the rr encoder silently wrote
`21 /r` with garbage reg fields — the mask never happened.
Added `81 /4` (AND) and `81 /1` (OR) imm32 paths in both
cstage and selfhost w6a. The ~width fix above depends on this.
3. `s: []u8` cast as a direct fn argument produced a 0-length
slice. cgexpr for N_CAST left (AX=ptr, BX=len) from the str
source but never set CX (cap), and the arg-push fallback only
pushed AX. cgcast now synthesises CX=BX when target is slice
and source is str; node_isslice / arg-push recognise
cast-to-slice and emit the full (cap, len, ptr) triple. Both
stages.
4. `*[N]T` element-store used 8-byte stride + MOVQ regardless of
T's width. Indexing `buf: *[4]u16` would step 8 bytes and
write 8 bytes per element. Added idx_eff (drills *[N]T → T)
in cstage and the matching pointer-array drill in selfhost
elemsizeof. Also added MOVW / MOVZWQ / MOVSWQ to w6c, w6a,
and selfhost mirrors so 2-byte element stores/loads use the
right opcode (was falling through to MOVQ and trailing 6 bytes
into the next slot).
5. Slicing a top-level fixed array (`g[0:n]` where `g: [N]T` is
a global) computed the base from BP instead of the symbol —
localfind returned 0 and the cgen treated it as a local at
offset 0. Both N_SLICE-as-expression (cgslice) and N_SLICE-
as-call-arg paths now check let_islet / letvartnode and emit
LEAQ name(SB) when the base is a global array (or MOVQ
name(SB) for a global slice/pointer base). Both stages.
6. Top-level `let arr: [N]T = [v0, v1, ...]` link-failed on
cstage — emit_lets bailed when it saw N_ARRLIT init on an
array type, and the sz==8 scalar path then misemitted any
8-byte-sized array (e.g. [4]u16, [8]u8) as a single quad.
emit_lets now walks N_ARRLIT, evaluates each element as an
int/rune/bool/nil literal, packs per-element bytes
little-endian, and honours the trailing `...` repeat marker.
Selfhost already handled the literal-init path; fixed the
parallel sz==8 duplicate-DATAW emit on its side (the array
and the scalar paths both fired, last write winning at link
but the duplicate broke cross-stage byte-identicality on user
code with this shape).
7. w6a's per-line input buffer was a 1KB stack `char buf[1024]`.
A `DATAW` for a [256]u16 emits ~2080 bytes on one line, which
truncated mid-escape; the assembler then re-parsed the
remaining tail as garbage opcodes ("unknown opcode"). Bumped
cstage w6a to a 32K static buffer (selfhost w6a already
allocated per-line via amalloc).
lib: lib/hash/adler32, lib/hash/crc16, lib/hash/crc32 — pure
buffer-subset shape (matching lib/hash/fnv), with per-module
*_test.ww runnable via `ww test lib/hash/<name>`. Adler-32 plus
CRC-16 (CCITT/CMDA2000/DECT/ANSI) and CRC-32 (IEEE/Castagnoli/
Koopman) cover Hare's reference vectors bit-for-bit. Wired into
test/wcc/900_stdlib.c. .gitignore: lib/**/*.s,*.o so `ww test`
droppings stay untracked.
`make test` (26/26), `make bootstrap` (ww2≡ww3≡ww4), and per-module
`ww test` all pass. cgen output is byte-identical across cstage and
selfhost for every repro that previously diverged.
`*p += 1` and the rest of the compound-deref family (-= *= |= &= ^=
<<= >>=) fell through the N_ASSIGN switch in both stages and emitted
nothing. The `*p = v` block was gated on TK_ASSIGN, the IDENT-compound
block required N_IDENT, and there was no N_UN/TK_STAR compound branch
between them. Test 994/995/997 byte-identity hid it: both stages
mis-compiled identically, so the diffs were clean.
Surfaced via fmt.println("hello") segfaulting in wwstage builds.
findvariadicparam in cgenutil.ww does `*nfixed_out += 1`; the drop
left nfixed at 0, so `fprint(fd, args...)` mis-counted variadic args,
gathered fd as a formattable element, and segfaulted on tagged
dispatch.
Adds the missing branch in cmd/w6c/cgen.c N_ASSIGN and
selfhost/cmd/wcc/cgenexpr.ww cgassign: eval rhs → push, eval ptr →
BX, sized+extended load (BX) → AX (MOVZBQ for 1B, MOVSXD/MOVL for 4B
by signedness, MOVQ for 8B), pop rhs → CX, combine via
ADDQ/SUBQ/IMULQ/ANDQ/ORQ/XORQ/SHLQ/SHRQ on CX,AX, sized store back.
TK_SLASHEQ stays the rhs-only fallback, matching the IDENT path.
Float and aggregate deref compounds still fall through — uncommon.
`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).
Param-decl `name: T...` (Tparam.variadic=1, type []T), call-site
gather of N args into a fresh `[N]T`, forward via `xs...`, full
selfhost mirror, and lib/fmt graduated to the Hare shape.
Frontend:
- parse: `T...` after a param's type stamps Node.op=TK_ELLIPSIS
and breaks out (variadic must be last).
- check: resolve_type N_TFN / build_fn_type wrap the param type
as []T and set tp->variadic. N_CALL accepts either a tail of
args assignable to T (gather) or a single `xs...` spread of
[]T (forward); both bypass the "too many args" check on the
variadic slot.
- type: type_eq compares Tparam.variadic.
Cgen (cstage):
- call site: when the callee has a variadic last param,
materialise the tail args into a frame-resident `[N]T` via
localoff, write a 24B slice descriptor (ptr,len,cap), and
splice a synthesised N_IDENT into args[] so the downstream
widen/eval/pop loops see one slice slot. Tagged-element types
route each store through cg_widen_tagged_store. Forwarding
skips gather: the N_SPREAD wrapper is replaced with its inner
slice expression. Empty form writes {nil,0,0}. args[] / widen[]
bump from 16 to 64 to accommodate Hare's mixed-arg printers.
Selfhost mirror:
- lib/ww/parse: `T...` mark on N_PARAM.op.
- cgen: varargseq counter on Cg; scanlocals reserves
@vararg_d_N + @vararg_sl_N per variadic call (seq recorded on
N_CALL.uval so cgcall picks the same names). cgcall does the
same gather/forward and N_IDENT splice. cgfnparams treats
variadic params as 24B slice slots via a synthesised TSLICE
tnode. pushargsrev skips the tagged-widen detection for
variadic params (effective type is []T, not tagged).
- rhstargetname now recognises N_TRUE/N_FALSE/N_RUNELIT and
typed N_INTLIT so the variant-tag lookup finds bool/rune/iN
variants instead of falling through to "first non-str" (which
misassigned tag 0 to bool in tagged unions like formattable).
lib/fmt graduated: print/println/fprint/fprintln/errorln/fatal
take `args: formattable...`. Bare `error` (no -ln) is skipped —
the leaf name collides with strconv's `type error = !(invalid |
overflow)` under the driver's flat namespace.
Tests: 5 new e2e rows (plain gather, zero-arg, tagged element,
forwarding, fmt.println end-to-end). lib/CLAUDE.md workaround
paragraph replaced with the Hare-shape description.
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.
Closes the remaining tagged-union gaps after the prior two commits:
1. Tagged element in an array/slice (cstage). N_INDEX load now reads
slot words into AX/DX/CX, matching the tagged-return ABI so match
/ call-arg / let-init paths consume `arr[i]` uniformly. N_INDEX
store routes through a scratch slot + cg_widen_tagged_store +
byte-copy to &arr[i], so the full widening machinery (scalar /
str / struct payload / tagged subset / nullable fold) lights up
for element writes too.
2. Selfhost mirror — the cgen widen helpers (struct payload,
tagged-subset, spread-flatten) C cgen has had for two commits
finally land in selfhost:
cgwidentaggedstore — single writer for nullable / tagged ident /
tagged via AX:DX:CX / struct (lit + ident) /
str / scalar source shapes.
cgwidentagremap — CMPQ-chain tag remap for variant-subset.
rhsstructpayload — struct-name predicate; filters `!void` /
`!i32` aliases that share N_STRUCTLIT shape
but aren't structs.
rhstaggedident,
rhstaggedabicall — source-shape predicates.
flatvariantidx — spread-aware variant index lookup. Walks
`(...inner | T)` entries by resolving the
alias and inlining the inner's variants so
wwstage's tag order matches the check.c
flattening cstage does at type resolution.
cglet tagged init, cgassign tagged-ident reassign, cgreturn struct
/ subset payload, pushargsrev struct payload, cgindex tagged
element load, cgassign N_INDEX tagged element store all delegate
to these. cgmatch picks up scrutt from N_INDEX bases (element
type) and uses flatvariantidx for case dispatch.
3. Selfhost frame accounting: scanlocals reserves a 24B @tagscr slot
when the body contains a tagged-arr store, a struct-payload
tagged return, or a struct-payload call arg — dedup'd via
scanseenmark so multiple sites share one slot. N_LET stubs now
carry tnode so walk-time type checks see the array element type.
slotsize TARRAY learned to size tagged / struct / ptr / aliased
elements (was 8B-default for anything not N_TNAME-primitive,
undersizing tagged-element arrays).
Scalar / str call-arg widening keeps its direct-push fast path
(no scratch), so wwstage's asm on selfhost source remains
byte-identical to cstage's — 993/995 still pass.
700_e2e: 9 new rows — scalar/str/struct/subset/nullable variants in
arrays and slices, plus pass-arg / let-init / return / match shapes.
Three tagged-union gaps:
1. Struct-payload widening was broken at every site (call, let,
assign, return, struct-field init). cg_widen_tagged_store now
materialises str / scalar / struct-lit / struct-ident / tagged
payloads at slot+8+field_off and writes the tag last. Call sites
route through cg_widen_tagged_push (scratch slot + push high→low).
2. Tagged → wider tagged widening forwarded the source tag verbatim.
cg_widen_tag_remap emits a CMPQ-chain switch that translates each
source variant index to the destination's, then zero-pads to the
wider slot. type_eq grew a TY_TAGGED arm (was returning 1 for any
two unions); type_assignable now accepts variant-subset and
rejects the rest.
3. `(...inner | T)` spread parses (cmd/wcc/parse.c, lib/ww/parse).
Marks Node.op = TK_ELLIPSIS; resolve_type unwraps NAMED + flattens
when the spread bit is set so aliases inline like Hare's
tagged_type unwrap flag.
Selfhost mirror: spread parser ported. Cgen widen helpers not yet
mirrored — wwstage stays byte-identical to cstage on the existing
test corpus, but will emit wrong asm if user code uses the new
patterns (probe sp2 shows the divergence).
700_e2e: 9 new rows covering call/let/assign/return × struct +
tagged subset, plus the spread-flatten case.
Tagged-union widening already fired for `let r: (str|rune) = "...";`,
`r = "...";`, and `return "..."` from a tagged-returning fn — but not
at call sites, so `fn f(x: (str|rune))` couldn't be called with a bare
str or rune. The arg was pushed as its own static type (2 words for
str, 1 for rune) while the callee's slot expected 3 (tag + payload).
C cgen: at the call boundary, look up the callee's declared param
type per arg. When the param is TY_TAGGED and the arg is a concrete
variant, materialise (tag, value-words, padding) sized to the param's
tagged_arg_size — then the existing pop-into-arg-regs logic picks it
up. Nullable `(*T | void)` collapses to a single 8B push.
selfhost: fnret now carries the params head alongside rtype (amalloc
bumped to 48); pushargsrev takes the matching param node and runs the
same widening sequence per arg. The pop drain in cgcall already
handled extra slot words, so no change needed on that side.
Verified with a smoke covering str/rune literals, typed locals,
pre-existing tagged-local pass-through, and nullable widening from a
raw pointer. Selfhost emits byte-identical asm to C cgen on the test.
cgexpr leaves float results in X0, not AX, but the struct-field paths
emitted MOVQ AX,off(BX) and MOVQ off(BX),AX — so every store wrote
garbage and every load read garbage, except by accidental register
survival across an unrelated call. examples/lisp only worked because
parsef's X0 happened to live across the broken MOVQ shuffle into
vfloat; any inserted f64 op between them would silently corrupt.
Wire MOVSD/MOVSS X0,… (and the matching loads) into eight field
sites on both compilers: alloc(T{...}), p.x = v through local/ptr/
global, chained r.sub.x = v, *p = v for *f64, let v: T = T{...},
base.x reads, *T.x reads, and chained a.b.c.x reads.
83/83 lisp_test probes still pass; bootstrap reaches a byte-stable
fixed point at ww3 == ww4.
Three gaps in the wwstage cgen relative to C w6c, plus a matching
C-side bug surfaced along the way.
cgmatch (selfhost) handles non-ident scrutinees: `match (foo())` now
spills the AX:DX:CX return triple into a 24B `@match_spill` slot
rather than reading garbage off BP+0. scanlocals counts the slot so
the prologue SUBQ stays in sync. For N_CALL we recover the return
type via fnretlookup so nullable dispatch picks the pointer-vs-null
discriminator. Mirrors @match_spill in cmd/w6c/cgen.c N_MATCH.
cgcall (selfhost) special-cases `alloc(structlit{...})`: lower to
rt_alloc(totsize) + per-field MOV* at the struct's field offsets,
mirroring cmd/w6c/cgen.c's existing path. Previously the structlit
fell into pushargsrev and produced wrong code.
check.ww's N_MCASE branch now pushes a fresh scope around each arm
body. Without this, `case let e: str` inside a fn with an outer
`let e: *T` collided with scopedefine's same-scope dedup, the inner
binding silently dropped, and references to `e` inside the arm
resolved through the outer type.
Both cgens save/restore the locals head around case bodies so arm
binds (and nested arm-body lets) don't leak past the arm — code
after the match resolves names back through the outer scope.
w6c gains `local_alloc`: same as `localoff` minus the dedup. N_MATCH
case-bind allocation switches to it. Previously `let e: *T` (8B)
shadowed by `case let e: str` (16B) reused the outer 8B slot and the
inner str.len store overflowed into the saved BP, segfaulting on
return.
Tests 26/26.
.data now lives at the end of the dyn-path R+W PT_LOAD, just after
.dynamic. The single segment covers .got.plt + .dynamic + .data; its
filesz drops trailing zeros (BSS) while memsz spans the full extent.
Relocation moves from main.c into each emit function so the static
and dynamic paths use their own data_va — text→data refs land on the
right VA regardless of path. Removes the early-error in dynout.c
that previously refused any .data with -l/-L.
Tests: 810_dyn gains two new dyn+.data fixtures (mutable read+write
of an i32, plus a zero-init i64 verifying the BSS scan still produces
a valid p_filesz<p_memsz under the shared segment).
Scan the consolidated .data buffer (post-relocation) for trailing zero
bytes; set the R+W PT_LOAD's p_filesz to exclude them while p_memsz
covers the full region. The loader zero-fills the gap, so behaviour is
unchanged. Saves up to a page per binary on programs whose globals are
zero-init.
Mirrored in selfhost/cmd/w6l/out.ww so test 992's byte-identity diff
still holds. Dynamic-link path is untouched — it still errors on any
mutable global; that's the next feature.
N_IDENT for a slice local now loads (AX=ptr, BX=len, CX=cap), matching
the existing global-slice load.
cgexpr learns N_SLICE: `base[lo:hi]` leaves the same triple in
registers, so callers (return, arg push, reassignment) all share
one shape. The let-init's pre-existing N_SLICE direct-store path
stays as a specialisation; the new generic slice let-init catches
fn-returning-slice and slice-ident initialisers.
N_ASSIGN gains a TY_SLICE branch parallel to TY_STR: store all
three halves to the local slot or, for globals, stash CX into DI
before LEAQ-ing the address (CX is both the new cap and the
address scratch).
Field write extends the existing TY_TAGGED branch with an is_global
arm: LEAQ name(SB),CX after cgexpr (no AX/BX clobber), then MOVQ
into slot+foff+0 (tag) and slot+foff+8 (value, plus +16 for str-
typed variants).
Field read now treats tagged fields specially — load AX=tag,
DX=val0, CX=val1 (when union >16B), mirroring the tagged-return
ABI that let-init and match dispatch already expect. Previously
the scalar-load path read 8B into AX and left DX/CX with junk,
which silently broke local tagged-field reads too.
f32 → 4B slot, f64 → 8B. C cgen bakes the FLOATLIT bit pattern into
DATAW directly; selfhost emits zero-init only (its parser doesn't
lex N_FLOATLIT yet). Read/write goes LEAQ name(SB),CX + MOVSS/MOVSD
since w6a has no D_EXTERN operand form for SSE moves.
Use the new DATAR mechanism so str-literal init on a top-level
mutable `let` lands in .data and links cleanly.
emit_lets, when it sees `let s: str = "lit"` (non-empty strlit),
emits:
DATAW s(SB),"<8 zero placeholder><8 LE bytes of len>"
DATAR s+0(SB),<strlit_label>(SB)
The linker patches the placeholder with the strlit's runtime VA at
program load time, so `s.ptr` reads as the real pointer and `s.len`
as the literal length. A new let_pre_intern pass scans top-level
lets ahead of emit_data so the strlit gets a DATA row in the same
.s file; running emit_lets after emit_data instead would have
flipped the (DATA strlits, DATAW lets) section order in the .s and
broken byte-identity with the wwstage cgen.
The wwstage cgen still emits the zero-init shape for str lets,
which only matters if the wwstage is asked to compile source that
uses str-literal init. None of the selfhost combined sources do
that today, so test 994 / 990 stay green. The selfhost mirror for
DATAR + DATAW + this w6c branch is a follow-up.
630_let_global gains two fixtures: a length-readback and a first-
byte readback through the patched ptr.
Unblock literal initialisers for str/slice/struct globals by wiring
an R_X86_64_64 relocation kind through both assembler and static
linker.
w6a:
- new A_DATAR directive, syntax `DATAR slot+off(SB),target(SB)`,
records an R_X86_64_64 reloc at slot+off in .data pointing at
target. The slot must be pre-defined by a prior DATAW;
- parse_operand learned the `name+disp(SB)` shape so the slot's
byte offset can be addressed explicitly;
- Areloc carries a `section` flag (0=.text / 1=.data) and obj.c
splits the reloc list into .rela.text and .rela.data, emitting
the latter conditionally with sh_info pointing at .data.
w6l:
- Lrel grows the same `section` flag; obj.c loads `.rela.data`
sections into the global reloc list with offsets shifted by
each input's data_off;
- pass.c handles R_X86_64_64: target VA is data_va+sym.val for
in_data symbols (else text_va+sym.val), addend is added, and
the 8-byte slot is patched in l->data (or l->text).
Inputs without DATAR are unaffected — bootstrap, 991 (selfhost .o
diff) and 992 (selfhost exe diff) keep their byte-identical
output. 520_datar covers the new path: asm a DATAW+DATAR pair,
verify .rela.data has exactly one R_X86_64_64 entry, link, run,
confirm the relocated pointer feeds a 5-byte write that prints
"hello".
Selfhost mirror + w6c emission for str/slice/struct literal init
land in follow-ups.
Extend top-level mutable `let` to cover structs. Same approach as
str / slice: take the field-access base through &name(SB) instead
of off(BP).
- emit_lets / emitletdataw: emit `sizeof(T)` zero bytes for any
struct global without a baked-in initialiser. Struct-literal
init is skipped → undefined symbol at link if used;
- cgdot read path: when the IDENT base's local lookup misses and
the name is a struct let, LEAQ name(SB), CX and load the field
at fi.foff(CX) with the width-aware op (MOVQ / MOVL /
MOVZBQ / MOVSXD; MOVQ pair for str fields);
- cgassign write path: parallel handling for plain `=` (incl. str
fields) and the compound ops (+=, -=) via load → push → eval
rhs → combine → store with a re-LEAQ between cgexpr clobbers.
Tagged-union fields on struct globals are unsupported in v1 — the
local path's tagged branch isn't generalised yet. Whole-struct
by-value flow through expressions remains NYI (matches the local
status). 630_let_global gains 3 fixtures (read/write, compound +=,
narrow u8 field); selfhost mirror keeps test 990 / 994 / 995 byte
identical; bootstrap fixed point holds.
Extend top-level mutable `let` to cover slices. Same shape as the
str work, with one more 8-byte field and the address holder CX
overwritten by the cap as the last load step:
- emit_lets / emitletdataw: 24-byte zero DATAW for `let v: []u8;`
(and the trivial `nil` init); no slice-literal syntax exists
so the no-init path is the only supported shape;
- cgident: LEAQ name(SB), CX → MOVQ (CX), AX → MOVQ 8(CX), BX →
MOVQ 16(CX), CX, so the slice ABI triple lands in (AX, BX, CX);
- cgdot: .cap delta 16 wired alongside .ptr / .len through the
same &name(SB) base.
Slice reassignment (`v = some_slice;`) is still unsupported — slice
values don't yet flow as a full (AX, BX, CX) triple through general
expressions even for locals — so reads/`&` are the supported surface
today. Manual fill through `(&v): *u64` continues to work.
Tests 630 (10/10), 990, 994, 995 stay green; bootstrap fixed point
holds.
Extend top-level mutable `let` to cover str. The cgen now:
- emits a 16-byte zero DATAW for `let s: str;` (and the trivial
`nil` / `""` inits); a non-empty strlit init is skipped because
a compile-time .data → .text reloc isn't supported yet, so the
user gets a clean undefined-symbol error at link;
- loads `s` as `(LEAQ s(SB), CX; MOVQ (CX), AX; MOVQ 8(CX), BX)`
so the (AX=ptr, BX=len) pair convention is preserved;
- stores via the same `&s` indirection for `s = expr;` and routes
the `.ptr` / `.len` pseudo-field N_DOT branch through it; and
- tracks the declared type on each LetVar so cgident / cgdot /
cgassign pick the right load/store shape.
Selfhost cgen mirrors all four paths byte-for-byte; test 990
(cgen-match on err.ww) and tests 994/995 (self-rebuild) stay
green. 630_let_global gains two new fixtures (`let msg: str;` +
runtime assign, plus reassign from a helper).
Slice and struct globals still NYI — same scope deferred.
Third step toward writable globals. The C cgen and its selfhost
mirror now:
- emit DATAW <name>(SB),"<8 LE bytes>" for every top-level `let`
whose type lands in the scalar set (i8..i64/u8..u64/bool/rune/
int/uint/uintptr/ptr; floats and multi-word types deferred);
- drop the "no writable .data" silent-drop guard at the N_IDENT
store path, replacing it with a RIP-relative MOVQ for `=` and
a load→combine→store sequence for the compound ops; and
- route `&name` through LEAQ name(SB) instead of dropping it.
Type aliases resolve via aliaslookup so `type counter = i32; let c:
counter = 0;` still emits a DATAW slot. Non-literal initialisers
silently skip, which surfaces as a clean undefined-symbol error if
the binding is ever referenced.
The selfhost mirror lands in the same commit because test 990
diffs the C cgen against wwdump_ww -c on err.ww (which has
top-level `let nerrors: i32 = 0; ... nerrors += 1;`). Any drift
between the two cgens makes 990 fail. Bootstrap stays at a fixed
point: ww2 == ww3 == ww4 byte-identical.
Second step toward top-level mutable `let`. The static path now loads
.data PROGBITS sections from input .o files, page-aligns them after
.text, and emits a second PT_LOAD (R+W) covering them. Relocations
targeting data symbols compute against the data VA; text→text
displacements still cancel the absolute VAs and stay correct.
Inputs without any .data keep the original single-PT_LOAD layout
byte-for-byte — 992 (selfhost w6l .o diff) and 995 (self-rebuild)
depend on that invariant.
Dynamic-link path (-l/-L) rejects .data for now with a clear error;
folding writable globals into the existing R+W segment alongside
.got.plt/.dynamic is a follow-up.
First step toward top-level mutable `let`. Adds a sibling directive to
DATA whose bytes land in a separate writable .data PROGBITS section
(SHF_ALLOC|SHF_WRITE, STT_OBJECT) instead of .text. The section is
emitted only when DATAW was used, so inputs without it produce a
byte-identical .o — tests 991 (selfhost .o diff) and 995 (self-rebuild)
keep passing unchanged.
w6l still treats data-resident syms as undefined; that's the next step.
Cascades the four enum kinds through every signature and local that
holds one of their values, then removes the type_assignable /
unify_arith relaxation that previously let bare i32 mix with the
named enum types.
Signature updates:
- kwlookup() now returns `tkind` (not i32); tokname() takes `tkind`
- accepttok / expecttok / bprec / isassignop take `tkind`
- parsearglist's closekind is `tkind`
- newtype / prim take `tykind`; scopedefine takes `skind`
- newnode / nkname take `nkind`
Struct fields:
- tok.kind is `tkind`; parser.curkind is `tkind`
- node.kind is `nkind`; node.op is `tkind`
- tinfo.kind is `tykind`; sym.skind is `skind`
Locals holding kinds across lex/parse/check/cgen are now typed with
their enum, including sentinel patterns like `let lkind: nkind =
nkind.N_NONE; if (...) lkind = tn.kind;`.
The selfhost cgen had a load-width bug exposed by this: fieldsize()
fell back to 8 bytes for any TNAME that wasn't a struct or primitive.
For a tkind-typed field that gave `MOVQ (BX), AX` instead of `MOVL`,
diverging from the C cgen on tok.kind / parser.curkind / etc. Two
fixes:
- fieldsize now consults the enum registry and returns the storage
type's size (4 for `enum i32`)
- collectenums runs before collectstructs in cgfile so the registry
is populated when registerstruct asks for field sizes
All 22 tests stay green; 990/993/995 byte-identity probes pass with
the strict typing in place.
`type tkind = enum i32 { TK_NONE = 0, TK_EOF = 1, ... TK_LAST = 86 }`
replaces the 87-line `def TK_*: i32 = N` cluster in lib/ww/lex/tok.ww.
Numeric values explicit so 990_selfhost's byte-diff against the C-side
`Tkind` enum still passes.
All ~270 reference sites in lib/ww and selfhost/cmd/{wcc,wwdump}
sed-renamed `TK_X` → `tkind.TK_X`. Struct fields (`tok.kind`,
`parser.curkind`) intentionally kept as `i32` — making them `tkind`
shifted some byte-positions in the cgen output and broke 990/993/995
byte-identity probes without an obvious win.
To make the rename non-cascading on every signature, type_assignable
and unify_arith in cmd/wcc/check+type relax to allow enum ↔ int
mixing when storage matches (a `tkind` value flows into an `i32`
slot and vice versa, no explicit cast). This deviates from Hare's
strict enum semantics; doc'd as an explicit pragmatic relaxation
for the compiler's internal enum-shaped kinds. External user code
can still get the type-safety benefit if they declare their
parameters with the enum type.
combined.ww files regenerated by ww build.
Driver-side concatenation flattens module names, but enum member
lookup keyed off the exact lhs ident — so `whence.CUR` worked while
`os.whence.CUR` fell through to w6l with `undefined main.whence`.
C side: fold TY_ENUM members in the post-cexpr cascade too, not
just the early SK_TYPE shortcut. The recursive cexpr lands the
inner N_DOT(os, whence) on the named enum type; the outer access
then folds normally.
Selfhost: cgdot now treats `N_IDENT.MEMBER` and `N_DOT.MEMBER` the
same way, keying off the leaf name. enumlookup strips a trailing
`.`-prefix from the lookup key.
Adds e2e test 700: `use os; os.whence.CUR as i32 == 1`.
`type Foo = enum [intT] { NAME [= expr], ... };`. Storage defaults
to i32; members auto-increment from 0 (or last+1) when `= expr` is
omitted, and value expressions can reference earlier siblings —
enough surface for io::mode-style flag enums (`RDWR = READ | WRITE`).
`Foo.MEMBER` folds to an N_INTLIT in the checker, typed as the
named enum. Binops on enum values yield the same enum (type_eq on
the named pointer), so `mode.R | mode.W` is a `mode`. Enum ↔ int
is a reinterpret-only `as` cast — same register, no tag wrap — so
`mode.RDWR as i32` and `1 as mode` both work without runtime ops.
`is`/`?`/`!` are still tagged-union-only. CSP runtime (chan/proc)
is unchanged; only the type-system slot is touched here.
`match (u) { case T => ... }` where T isn't a variant of u was
silently accepted by both checkers. The cgen would emit a tag
comparison against an index that never appears, leaving the arm
unreachable — wasted code that's almost always a bug or typo.
C check.c now mirrors the existing is/as rule for match arms:
each `case T` and each alt of multi-pattern `case T1 | T2` is
checked against the scrutinee's variant list via variant_present.
selfhost check.ww gets the same shape with AST-level type_eq_ast
comparison. Both checks land in the same scope-aware pass that
already runs exhaustiveness and ? subset.
New test rows in 300_check (C side) and 950_selfcheck (selfhost
side) exercise both single-pattern and multi-pattern alt typos.
The 950 driver's err_present detector picks up the new
"case: not a variant" prefix.
