The driver flip moves build artifacts from next-to-source <stem>.s to a
.sepwork/ scratch dir. 29 Pattern-B gates now build `ww build --sep -o <stem>`
and read <stem>.sepwork/__root.s (multi-package gates concat all
<stem>.sepwork/*.s, since cross-package labels live in per-package .s).
All intermediates redirect to /tmp (WW_PKGCACHE + -o), so the corpus runs
parallel-safe with no source-tree pollution. Tests pass now (--sep is live)
and survive the flip.
915 additionally retargeted off strconv's PRIVATE left_shift_table (a let,
not export) — which separate compilation correctly hides — onto a test-local
package that exports its own probe table (#96). The combined path only linked
it via a single-unit private leak; encapsulation is now honored under sep.
Test-only; all 5 *_ww binaries HOLD. 989_m1mangle_run deferred (blocked by
#99, imported-package fn main mangling under sep).
checkisas walked the unflattened AST u.list via casevariantin (typeeqast
streq), so any variant introduced via a `...inner` spread was invisible
and rejected as "is/as: not a variant of operand". Repro:
type rsh = (size | io.eof | ...io.error);
let r: rsh = 42: size;
if (r is io.underread) ... -- pre-fix wwstage REJECTS
io.underread is in io.error.params, which tinfofornode splices into the
parent at L1827-1836, but the AST u.list still holds the single
`...io.error` entry that streq("io.underread", "io.error") rejects.
Route through flatvariantidxt — the same Phase-N helper #179 cgmatch
and #66 cgtagvariantidx already key off. Mirrors cstage cmd/wcc/check.c
:1662-1675 u->params + type_eq. Falls back to casevariantin AST walk
when tinfo isn't available (defensive — non-#198 path stays as-is).
project_tinfo_lossy_nominal: name-keying was the pre-Phase-N workaround
for tinfo lossy on nominal identity; typeeq inside flatvariantidxt now
handles NAMED ptr-id (#64), so the checker pair aligns with cgen on the
flattened-variant axis.
Closes the cgen-drain mini-cluster (#201 -> #199 -> #200 -> #198).
773_isas_spread_variant: 5 rows (spread_is_inline_variant,
direct_cross_mod_tagged, cross_mod_named_void, same_module_variant,
spread_as_inline_payload). Rows 2-4 byte-id; rows 1/5 skip byte-id due
to layout-asymmetry on `...wrapper` (cstage flattens at resolve_type,
wwstage computes maxsz off vt.size of the un-spliced alias) — sibling
not blocking the checker correctness fix.
