dirs build() capped the composed path at the 256B pathbuf with a silent
break, so a HOME (or XDG_*) near/over ~240 bytes produced a truncated
path that lookup() then mkdir'd and returned rc=0 — a silently-wrong,
freshly-created directory. ref/hare/dirs/xdg.ha routes through
path::set/push whose too_long error the `!` aborts loudly. Precompute
the composition length in build() and rt_abort when it won't fit; drop
the now-dead silent caps. (Shape (a); routing dirs through lib/path is
the filed fidelity follow-up.)
975_dirs_toolong_run pins the abort + no-stray-dir on both driver twins.
parsefile's recovery fallback chewed an unrecognized top-level
construct to the next ';' without emitting an error or bumping p.errs,
so a typo'd keyword / stray token silently vanished from the AST and
the build succeeded rc=0 with the declared work gone — no link error
catches a dropped @test or unreferenced exported fn. The C twin
(parse.c:1395-1400) errorf+p->errs++ and rejects. Emit errmsg in the
fallback arm; wwstage now rejects in lockstep with cstage.
lib/ww embeds into the w6c/wwdump combined.ww snapshots; both regen'd.
989_unknowndecl_reject pins the reject-matrix on both driver twins.
wwstage parseint dropped the pre-multiply overflow guard the C twin
carries (cmd/wcc/lex.c:156, if (v > (u64)~0ULL / (u64)base)), so any
integer literal exceeding u64 was silently accepted mod 2^64 while
cstage loudly rejected with 'bad integer literal' — a rule-10 stage
divergence and a silent wrong constant. Port the guard before the
multiply-add; wwstage now rejects in lockstep with cstage.
lib/ww embeds into the w6c/wwdump combined.ww snapshots; both regen'd.
989_intoverflow_reject pins the reject-matrix on both driver twins.
When the dynamic section pushed the header past the first page, the
entry point kept its first-page address — every sufficiently large
dynamic binary SIGSEGV'd into the headers. Recompute e_entry as
entry - 0x1000 + text_off in both stages (ELF: the entry must point
into .text wherever it lands). Both stages move in one commit: one
ELF contract; the 989_dynentry gate pins the field and the run.
A DATAR relocation against an undefined data slot was silently
dropped — the relocation vanished from the object. Reject loudly,
matching the cstage single-pass resolution behavior.
wwdump's -c/-r modes emitted output from a garbage parse silently.
Gate on the parse-error count first (the w6c main gate, main.ww:162);
wwstage-only — the C wwdump has no -c/-r modes.
The wwstage driver silently dropped directory entries past a 256
cap; the cstage twin already grows by realloc-doubling. Grow the
same way (seed 8, double) so both stages agree on any directory size.
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.
The try-operand resolution used bare lookups (ident + bare-leaf call);
a cross-module same-leaf collision mistyped the operand. Prefer the
current module. The historic 995 byte-id break attributed to this swap
was contamination from the guard-bug-carrying bundle — re-probed clean
in isolation and at the full stack. The N_DOT module-keyed leaf stays
task #51. Report item [11], lookup half.
The address-of-fn synthesis used a bare lookup — import order could
bind a same-leaf fn from another module, silently LEAQ-ing the wrong
function into a fn-ptr slot. Prefer the current module (mirror
check.c:410/1305). Report item #4 (loud and silent faces pinned).
A type lookup in a bundled build resolved to the newest-installed
same-leaf symbol from ANY module; prefer the current module first
(mirror cstage sym.c:131; the prior attempt's failure was its own
u64-vs-i32 guard bug, not a deeper layer — probe-proven). Also adds
the rule-7 #58 notes at the latent varianterr/scruttype pair and
rewrites the stale deferral block to closing cites. Report item [5].
Passing buf[1:] of a [MAX]u8 as a call arg dropped the default-hi
length (the arg-push N_SLICE arms' fallback covered only named-alias
bases). Same type-table resolve at pushargsrev local+global. This
closes the def-dim dimension family by construction: every N_INTLIT-
keyed dim consumer (cgslice, cgdot, letemitsize, arg-push) now
carries the tichase().alen fallback — grep-proven, no consumer
remains. Fourth member surfaced by the family grep.
buf.len on a [MAX]u8 returned 0 — the cgdot len arms (local/global/
def) and letemitsize only read an N_INTLIT dimension. Route a
non-literal dimension through tichase().alen (the #21 fix mirrored
into the field-read consumers; .ptr arms are dim-independent).
Review-era task #56.
alloc(alias{...}) keyed the size and field-fill off the syntactic
alias name — it under-allocated and emitted zero field stores. Chase
the alias via structlookupchain to the resolved struct (depth-2
chains verified). The scalar else-branch keeps its pre-existing
benign cs!=ww divergence, surfaced here and deferred as task #57
(site note at the arm). Review item #26.
The ?/! success-is-str decision was name-keyed off the FIRST variant
and only handled call operands — an ident operand with junk registers
unwrapped garbage, and error-first unions picked the wrong variant.
Key on the stamped success variant (successvariant + typeisstr,
mirror cgen.c:10459-10466/10595-10602). Review item #16.
Slicing an array whose dimension is a def constant gave len 0 — the
default-hi and cgbasecap arms only read an N_INTLIT dimension. Route
the dimension through the type table (one root, four arms: default-hi
and cgbasecap, local and global each), byte-identical for the def-dim
SLICE shape. The def-dim array .len/.ptr FIELD-read keeps the
N_INTLIT-only limitation — filed as task #56 (cgdot sibling).
Review item #21.
The unspecified tail of a short array literal repeated the last value
instead of zeroing — wwstage only (cstage already zeroes; the review's
both-stages reading didn't survive ground truth). Zero-fill the tail
per the zero-value semantics ruling. Review item #13.
The str-size arm of the global data emit was size-keyed and matched a
24-sized array, emitting a second DATAW for the same symbol. Gate on
the array kind (!isarr8). Review item #12.
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.
cstage dereferenced 0(BP) for the base — a SEGV on every store
through a module-global struct pointer; wwstage was already correct
(the inverse-set member). Mirror ww's global-pointer load. New
989_globptrfield_run pins cs==ww both stages. Task #47.
The arg-drain loop checked node_isfloat before popping a widened
arg's GP words, so a float arg adjacent to a widened (tagged) arg
read the wrong stack slot: the f64 took the widened payload (#30), or
the float arm ate the tag word into X0 and the payload landed in DI
as the tag (#48). One missing branch, two manifestations — mirror
cstage's widen-first pop (cgen.c:9650-9665). Review items #30+#48
(fold reviewer-verified one-mechanism against the cstage twin).
Casting a global str to []u8 dropped the cap=len synth (the trailing
MOVQ BX,CX) — the synth was gated on a local-ident source shape.
Key it on the source type so local/global/field/call sources all get
the header. Review item #19.
s.f *= v silently became s.f = v (and the other non-+=/-= ops dropped
likewise) in BOTH stages across five lvalue sub-arms: via-ptr field,
direct local field, str/slice pseudo-field, and the two global-field
forms. Funnel all five through a shared combine dispatch
(cgdotfieldcombine / cg_dotfield_combine) emitting the load-OP-store
sequence at field width, hard-erroring the unhandled kinds — close-by-
construction so no arm stays on the old PLUSEQ-only path (the #133
BUS-routing lesson; #227 sites A/B are the closed siblings). The
refactor routes the corpus's existing +=/-= sites through the same
helper output-identically (byte-id held). Review item #34.
Both stages move in one commit: one emission contract; splitting the
halves would leave the byte-id gates red in between.
arr[i].field /= %= <<= >>= silently dropped the op (load-combine-store
emitted plain assignment) in BOTH stages — gate-blind, the #133 class.
Route every compound op through the combine dispatch at the indexed-
field arm and hard-error the unhandled operand kinds (float/str/slice/
tagged), per the #133 template (3986818). The runtime-correct target is
the op's own algebra (a OP= b == a = a OP b). Review item #33.
Both stages move in one commit: the fix is a single emission contract —
splitting cstage cgen.c from selfhost cgenexpr.ww would leave the
byte-id gates red between the halves.
'as' on a nullable value compared the pointer itself to a tag (the
missing arm). Mirror cgtypetest's nullable fold and the cstage twin
(cgen.c:10694). Review item #17.
Try-propagation on a nullable value fell to the tagged path and
compared the pointer to a tag — the null check came out inverted.
Mirror ww's own cgtypetest nullable fold (cgenexpr.ww:652) and the
cstage twin (cgen.c:10366/10504). Review item #15.
exprtype N_MATCH took the first arm's yield type without walking the
rest — int-vs-str arms silently produced garbage downstream. Walk all
arms: typeeq-equal accepts; a definite coarse-family mismatch
(num/str/bool via the new yieldclass classifier, unknown classes stay
lenient) rejects. Same-family non-assignable pairs remain lenient —
the documented precision residual is task #52 (needs tinfo-level
type_assignable). The wave's table-driven reject test lands here:
989_catA_f2_reject, 19 rows x 2 stages, each member pre-fix-red-proven.
A module-global float-bearing struct passed by value drained all-GP —
the SSE-cursor classify keyed on the node shape and missed the global
ident; key off the stamped struct type (per-eightbyte classify,
F7-flavored stamp fix). Review item #31; dual-stage rows red-proven.
Widening a global tagged union into a wider tagged slot copied
nothing of the box; treat the global ident as a tagged source and
copy the full box from g(SB) through the nested arm. Both-wrong pair:
cstage spills frame garbage as the box (filed task #44, residual
non-deterministic so the rows assert divergence only). The non-nested
SUBSET-widen shape remains open as task #49 (site comment at the
fall-through). Review item #51.
Widening a global struct into a tagged slot copied word0 only; copy
the full payload from g(SB). Both-wrong pair: cstage zero-fills the
payload (filed task #43); rows pin ww-runtime-correct with the
documented cstage residual. Review item #50.
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.
Reassigning a module-global tagged union stored the payload into the
tag word; emit the full tag+payload store to g(SB). Both-wrong pair:
cstage silently DROPS the store entirely (filed task #41) — rows pin
ww-runtime-correct and the documented cstage residual. Review item #32.
The probe accepted any inner ident, hijacking same-leaf locals as a
module qualifier; gate on the untyped(module) inner only (mirror the
cstage twin). Review item #20; dual-stage rows red-proven.
The global tagged ident operand read saved BP instead of the global:
'is' compared garbage as the tag; 'as' never had a payload. Route the
load through the g(SB) base — tag at +0, payload at +8, cap at +16 for
str (one mechanism, both consumers). The 'is' half aligns ww UP
(cs==ww pinned); the 'as' half is a both-wrong pair — cstage spills an
uninitialized payload register (its N_TYPEASSERT assumes cgexpr filled
AX/DX/CX; filed as task #46), so its rows assert ww-runtime-correct
with the cs divergence documented until #46 lands. Review item #18.
Slicing a module-global str with default hi emitted nothing for the
bound; load the len word from g(SB)+8 (mirror the cstage twin).
Review item #47; dual-stage rows red-proven.
A slice-typed field of a module-global struct stored only the str-form
words; widen the arm to the full slice header via the g(SB) base
(mirror cgen.c sibling arm). Review item #35; dual-stage rows red-proven.
wwstage computed tagged sizes/tags off the raw variant list — size()
folded wrong constants (size((*u8|void)) 16 vs 8, (i32|never) 16 vs 4)
and duplicate variants got divergent tag numbering vs cstage, while
ww's own cgen layout folded nullable but its size() didn't. Make
tinfofornode's N_TTAGGED arm the normalization SSoT mirroring cstage
resolve_type (check.c:801-882): never-drop, duplicate dedup via
structural typeeq, single-variant collapse, nullable fold on the
normalized pair; astsize/astalign delegate, and voidvariantindex reads
the normalized ti.params (cgen.c:900-911) so construct/match/void tag
readers agree. Corpus-neutral (zero-move on all combineds);
989_tagnorm_run pins the folds dual-stage, red-proven. Review items
#1/#3; residual #45 filed (AST-keyed nullable gate at global emit).
nodefnptr matched bare idents by NAME against the fn table, so a
global var colliding with a fn leaf classified as a fn pointer —
wwstage silently built what cstage rejects at link (review finding
#14). Key on the stamped type; the #124 &mod.fn arm is preserved.
989_fnptrcollide_run pins both stages reject (red 1/2 pre-fix:
wwstage built rc=7).
cgindex's tagged-element classification whitelisted base node kinds;
call- and slice-based tagged elements fell off the list and dropped
the payload words (review finding #23). Classify by the stamped
element type. 989_taggedidx_run pins cs==ww (red 2/6 pre-fix).
A bare module-global unsigned operand got signed IDIV/SAR/Jcc — the
predicate's ident arm only consulted the local table, so globals fell
through to signed (review finding #25). Read the stamp for the global
arm; corpus emission is unmoved (no bootstrap code div/shift/cmps a
bare unsigned global). 989_gunsigned_run pins cs==ww (red 3/8
pre-fix).
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).
cgindex read one word for a str/slice ELEMENT of a chained index
(xs[i][j], f().s[i]) — the element-kind gate keyed on node shape and
missed non-simple bases, dropping the 24B/16B header load (review
finding #22). Key on the element-type stamp; 989_chainidx_run pins
cs==ww (red 3/8 pre-fix).
A slice/str ELEMENT of an indexed expression passed as a call-arg
pushed one word instead of the 24B/16B header — the predicates had no
N_INDEX arm, so element-typed args fell to the scalar path (review
findings #45/#46). Read the element-type stamp; dual-stage rows in
989_idxarg_run pin cs==ww (red 2/8 on pre-fix binaries).
wwstage's desugarcallargs ran no general per-arg typecheck (only the
narrow #258 array-to-slice arm): any mistyped scalar call-arg silently
miscompiled (int read as a 24B slice header; the -T face was a user
const __wwtests building a garbage test binary). Route every call-arg
through the predicate union isassignable()||assignableaddrfn(),
mirroring cstage type_assignable||assignable_addrfn and the check.c:1869
diagnostic. Confident scalar/aggregate and aggregate/aggregate
kind-mismatch rejects live in shared isassignable; the concrete-to-
tagged arm is shape-matched-lenient via tagshape() (AST mirror of cgen
taggedvariantindext) so genuine variant members keep flowing while
shape-mismatched aggregates reject. Reserve __wwtests under -T in both
stages (mirror the main reservation, check.c:2996). New table-driven
989_callarg_typecheck, 31 fixtures, reject rows proven red on pre-fix
binaries.
Deferred, filed, site-commented: the assign seam rides #178->#36
(typeeqast cannot compare variadic/module-qualified fn sigs); the
same-coarse-shape same-leaf nominal collision over-accept rides #37
(#10/#66 — the distinguishing module is absent from the AST surface
isassignable operates on).
`ww test <file> <pattern>` runs only the @test fns whose names match the
fnmatch glob; no pattern runs all (byte-for-byte the pre-filter path);
zero matches prints "No tests run" and exits 0 (Hare ground truth
ref/hare/test/+test.ha:114-117). A pattern in directory mode is rejected
"ww test: pattern needs a single test file" (rc 2), identical wording in
both twins (cmd/ww/main.c do_test + selfhost/cmd/ww/main.ww dotest).
Mechanism (a): rt/start.s stashes argc/argv into rt_argc/rt_argv getters
(rt_envp twin shape, -T synth untouched so 990-997 byte-id holds);
lib/os.args() rebuilds the []str view, build-once-cached; lib/test/run.ww
imports fnmatch and filters av[1..] (argv[0] is the binary path). The
driver forwards the 2nd positional as argv[1] via fork/execv (cstage) /
procrun (wwstage) so glob metachars aren't shell-expanded.
os.args() is the first `alloc`-caller in the base os module, so os.ww now
imports rt — the `alloc` builtin's malloc lowers to rt_malloc only when
the rt binding is bundled (mirror lib/strings/strings.ww:30); without it a
plain `ww build` of any os-importing program links bare libc `malloc`
(undefined). os is bundled by ~every program, so this is load-bearing.
The lib/test floor rises os-only -> os+fnmatch+ascii+strings in every -T
build; the bundled `ascii` module vs a `@test fn ascii` collision that
exposed is closed by the preceding #30 promote commit. 989_test_filter
pins the full matrix on both twins byte-identically; 949 gains the
dir-mode reject row. (#17)
lib/test/run.ww: fork+wait4 runner; each @test runs in its own child,
abort/SEGV/FPE decoded from wait-status, failures recorded and the run
continues; exit = fail count. Tests are hermetic: module globals do not
persist test-to-test (fresh fork image; sanctioned divergence from
harec's shared-process __test_main, no setjmp/signal layer needed).
-T synth (both stages) emits a module-global (str,*fn() void) table +
return run(table) instead of straight-line calls. Driver twins bundle
lib/test under test mode and gain ww test -c/-o (go test -c) so the
byte-id gates diff the same artifact the real path builds. Gates
989/910/997 rewired onto it; new 911 pins record-and-continue across
all three fault classes; 949 +3 rows. (#17-team commit-2)
Lone -I/-L/-l/-o now error "ww <cmd>: -X needs an argument" (rc2),
matching selfhost main.ww. do_test rewritten to an -I-only loop that
loud-rejects -l/-L/-o/unknown instead of silently swallowing them.
949_driver_flagargs: table-driven, 10 rows, each run against both
twins asserting identical rc+stderr. (#15-team)
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.
