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 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.
