C cgen has carried defer for a while (defers[] global + reverse
walk on every return). Selfhost cgen now mirrors:
- cgen struct: deferbuf (**node, LIFO stack) + defertop counter.
- cgstmt N_DEFER: push n.lhs.
- cgreturn: rundefers() at entry — same as the C cgen pattern.
- cgfn fall-through return: rundefers() before zero-AX+RET.
DEFER_MAX = 16 matches C cgen.
Two new e2e rows: defer with an explicit `return acc;` (321 mod 256
= 65), and defer firing on an implicit void-fn fall-through (87).
Both rows verified via the wwstage cgen too.
Defer's semantics: queued exprs fire LIFO before the return expr
is evaluated, so a return that reads memory mutated by a deferred
call sees the post-defer state. Matches C cgen and Hare.
`match (e) { ... }` can now sit in expression position, with each
arm using `yield expr;` to produce the match's value:
let v = match (r) {
case let n: i32 => yield n + 1;
case let s: str => yield s.len: i32 + 100;
};
TK_YIELD keyword + N_YIELD AST node, both appended at the tail of
their enums to keep prior numeric values byte-stable for the
wwdump-diff gates.
Checker: cexpr for N_MATCH walks each arm's body looking for the
first N_YIELD; the match's type is the unified yield type (or
ty_void if no yield, preserving the statement-form semantics).
Mismatched arm yields are flagged.
Cgen: a yield-target stack (separate from the loop break stack)
holds each enclosing match's end label. N_YIELD evaluates its
expression into AX (and BX for str) and JMPs to the topmost entry.
cgmatch pushes its end label on entry and pops on exit.
Selfhost mirror: lib/ww/lex/tok.ww kwtab+name, lib/ww/ast.ww
N_YIELD def+print, lib/ww/parse/stmt.ww yield-stmt; selfhost cgen
adds a yieldbuf to the cgen struct and a cgyield helper. Verified
end-to-end: a yield-using program compiled via the wwstage cgen
matches the C-cgen build's exit code.
Plan 9-style w-prefix on the per-arch tools, disambiguating from the
real Plan 9 6c/6a/6l in ref/plan9front/:
cmd/wwc/ → cmd/wcc/ libwwc.a → libwcc.a
cmd/6{c,a,l} → cmd/w6{c,a,l} binary names too
test/wwc/ → test/wcc/ 6 test files w/ w6 prefix
selfhost/cmd mirror in lockstep
bootstrap/amd64/{w6c,w6a,w6l} snapshot binaries (gitignored)
WW_6{C,A,L} → WW_W6{C,A,L} env-var overrides
Plan 9 source-tree refs ("Plan 9 6c shape", ref/plan9front/, etc.)
preserved. Hare-style driver, both C and ww sides:
ww test [path] discover *_test.ww in a directory module, run
each; single-file mode for `ww test foo.ww`
Module-by-name `ww build foo` resolves to foo.ww or foo/foo.ww
via search path (cwd : -I dirs : $WW_LIB)
Default-to-cwd `ww build` / `ww test` build the cwd module
Run pass-through `ww run path arg1 arg2` reaches the program
lib/os: getcwd (79) and getdents64 (217) syscalls power `.` resolution
and directory enumeration on the ww side.
Makefile: wwstage tool deps now include lib/os/os.ww (+ lib/strconv
for wwdump_ww) so lib/* edits force their rebuild instead of leaving
stale binaries — surfaced when test 995 first failed against a stale
w6c_ww built before the lib/os additions.
Test 993 byte-identical parity gate (C-side ww vs ww-side ww_ww on a
build corpus) stays green; all 19 tests pass.
