Path-shaped entrypoints now take str: open, tryopen, access, remove,
mkdir, rmdir, mkdirs, stat, lstat, exists, execve (path arg only).
Each cites its Hare source (ref/hare/os/*.ha, ref/hare/sys/+linux/
*.ha).
New internal kpath(str) *u8 copies into module-level pathbuf: [4096]u8
and NUL-terminates; mirrors ref/hare/sys/+linux/syscalls.ha:25,53.
Non-reentrant — graduates with thread story. mkdirs flattens to one
kpath at entry then walks pathbuf invoking raw SYS_mkdir to avoid
nested kpath clobber.
One Hare divergence at kpath: ships *u8 with nil ENAMETOOLONG sentinel
instead of (*const u8 | errno). Reason: wwstage over-allocates
1-word-payload tagged returns to 24B (cstage emits 16B); filed as
follow-up. Repro at .ai/probe_tagged_return_pointer_payload.ww;
graduates when fix lands.
Each selfhost cmd grew a private pathstr(*u8) str (cstrlen + bs) for
remaining *u8 path sites; w6l shares via obj.ww. Probe 7 in smoke
updated.
Tests 975/976/981 cover migrated entrypoints; 976 extended with two
ENAMETOOLONG rows (-36 for stat, false for exists).
.data now lives at the end of the dyn-path R+W PT_LOAD, just after
.dynamic. The single segment covers .got.plt + .dynamic + .data; its
filesz drops trailing zeros (BSS) while memsz spans the full extent.
Relocation moves from main.c into each emit function so the static
and dynamic paths use their own data_va — text→data refs land on the
right VA regardless of path. Removes the early-error in dynout.c
that previously refused any .data with -l/-L.
Tests: 810_dyn gains two new dyn+.data fixtures (mutable read+write
of an i32, plus a zero-init i64 verifying the BSS scan still produces
a valid p_filesz<p_memsz under the shared segment).
Bring the wwstage toolchain to parity with C-side DATAW / DATAR /
.data / .rela.data support. With this, w6c_ww + w6a_ww + w6l_ww can
compile, assemble and link `let g: str = "lit";` (and the scalar /
str / slice / struct globals that landed earlier) end-to-end, with
output that's byte-identical to the C-side pipeline.
w6a (types.ww / parse.ww / asm.ww / obj.ww):
- A_DATAW + A_DATAR opcodes; parser learns `name+disp(SB)`;
A_DATAR records an R_X86_64_64 reloc in .data via the new
addrelocdata helper; areloc gains a `section` flag and asym
an `isdata` flag; obj.ww splits relocs into .rela.text /
.rela.data, emits .data PROGBITS + .rela.data conditionally,
and shuffles section indices the same way cmd/w6a/obj.c does
so byte output stays identical when no DATAW/DATAR are used.
w6l (sym.ww / obj.ww / pass.ww / out.ww / dynout.ww / main.ww):
- lrel grows `section`; lsym grows `indata`; lobj tracks
dataoff / datasize; lnk grows combined .data buffer;
- obj.ww loads .data and .rela.data, registers data symbols
with indata=1 and val shifted by the input's data_off, and
the archive scanner includes both .text and .data globals;
- pass.ww adds R_X86_64_64 (patch 8 bytes in .text or .data
with sym_va + addend); relocate's signature becomes
(textva, datava);
- out.ww emits a second PT_LOAD (R+W) when datalen > 0, with
.data at the page-aligned offset after .text;
- dynout.ww refuses .data + -l/-L cleanly (matches the C-side
error message);
- main.ww computes text_va / data_va and passes both to
relocate.
wcc cgen (cgen.ww / cgendecl.ww):
- letpreintern walks top-level str-lets and interns the strlit
BEFORE emitdatasection emits its DATA row, so emitletdataw
can later look up the same label;
- emitletdataw's 16B branch detects non-empty strlit init and
emits the 8-zero + 8-LE-len DATAW plus a DATAR slot+0,strlit
reloc, mirroring cmd/w6c/cgen.c.
Verified: `wwdump_ww -c` byte-matches `w6c` on a `let g: str =
"hello world\n";` fixture; `w6a_ww` and `w6l_ww` produce a
binary byte-identical to the C-side pipeline that runs and
prints "hello world". Bootstrap fixed-point holds (ww2 == ww3 ==
ww4), 26/26 tests green.
Mirrors Hare's `fs::flag` and `io::whence`:
export type flag = enum i32 {
RDONLY = 0,
WRONLY = 1,
RDWR = 2,
CREATE = 64, // 0o100
TRUNC = 512, // 0o1000
};
export type whence = enum i32 { SET = 0, CUR = 1, END = 2 };
open/tryopen/lseek signatures take the enum types (`flags: flag`,
`w: whence`) so callers get type-checked: `os.open(p, os.flag.RDONLY,
0)` is the correct shape, and `os.flag.WRONLY | os.flag.CREATE |
os.flag.TRUNC` typechecks as a `flag` via the same-named-type rule.
Callers in selfhost/cmd/{ww,w6c,w6a,w6l,wwdump} updated from
`os.O_RDONLY` etc. to `os.flag.RDONLY`. SYS_* syscall numbers kept
as `def` for now (internal-only, ABI surface, no Hare analogue in
this scope).
selfhost/test/smoke.ww keeps its standalone-compile property by
using a numeric literal (`0`, RDONLY's value) for the open flags
arg — probe 6 in 990_selfhost compiles smoke.ww with no `use`
expansion, so cross-module type refs like `os.flag.RDONLY` can't
resolve there. Untyped 0 → flag via type_isnum.
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.
