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.
? and ! assume ONE success member end-to-end: the checker collapses
the result to the first non-error variant (check.c tagged_success_type
/ check.ww exprtype) and cgen emits a single tag compare, so any other
success member is silently mistaken for an error — ? propagates it to
the caller (p11h: []capture read back as nomem, exit 21), ! aborts on
it. Until the honest subset-union result typing lands (task #14, harec
check.c:2759-2835), both stages loud-reject |success| > 1 at the
checker choke-points (one per stage), identical diagnostic, both ops
per rob's one-class ruling (#133 precedent). (T|err1|err2) — one
success, many errors — stays legal (925 canary + new accept rows).
F9 rides along (task #12): wwstage scruttype only resolves IDENT/DOT,
so the direct forms f()? is T / match(f()?) / f()! is T slipped its
lenient-miss contract and were silently ACCEPTED where cstage rejects
(cs!=ww, gate-blind). checkisas/checkmatchexhaust now resolve the
try-result via exprtype, keyed on the RESOLVED success type — a named
tagged success ((ab|nomem)? is i32) keeps being accepted, matching
cstage's verdict empirically.
test/wcc/806: 11 rows x dual driver + byte-id accepts (26 fixtures);
reject rows pin exact per-stage diagnostic text; p11h + q_card2_unw
graduated to rejects; call-arg-position reject + void-success accept
pin position-independence and the dominant lib/ (void|err)? shape.
Tasks #5 + #12; #14 lifts both gates together.
