UCOMISD/UCOMISS set PF=ZF=CF=1 on unordered (a NaN operand). The old
arms keyed on ZF/CF only, so 4 of the 6 relops mishandled NaN:
`nan != nan` was false (JNE keys on ZF=0), `nan == nan` was true, and
`<`/`<=` (JB/JBE) fired on the unordered CF=1. IEEE-754: any relop
with a NaN operand is unordered — `!=` true, the rest false. `!=` now
jumps to true on JNE OR JP; `==`/`<`/`<=` jump to false on JP before
the ordered Jcc.
`>`/`>=` (JA/JAE) are LEFT UNCHANGED: they require CF=0, which an
unordered UCOMISD never produces, so they already reject NaN
correctly. Adding a PF guard there would only churn their .s (an extra
JP on every >/>= float compare) for no correctness gain, so their arm
stays byte-identical to the pre-#97 single template.
Bundles the cgen fix with JP-mnemonic support in both assemblers
(w6c enum/printer + w6a/w6a_ww parse+encode, 0F 8A). They can't split:
the cgen emits JP, which has no encoding without the assembler change,
so a cgen-only commit would not build. JP is the only PF-sensitive
jump on amd64 — there is no alternative instruction.
ww top-level def rhs const-fold was literal-only (fold_int_literal at the codegen emit-defs step), so a def referencing another def, an imported def, or a cast was inexpressible -- blocking faithful types/types::c/math/strconv ports whose defs cross-reference.
Fold at CHECK time: a recursive eval_def_const (pass-2 N_DEF arm, both stages) resolves N_IDENT/N_DOT via the checker's existing scope lookup to the target def's rhs, evaluates N_BIN through a shared fold_binop core (factored out of eval_enum_value so both compile-time-int-eval paths share one wrap/shift/divide table), strips identity/widening casts, and stamps rhs -> N_INTLIT. cgen is UNTOUCHED -- its existing literal-emit lays the DATA row. Gated to fire only when the plain literal fold fails, so existing defs keep their node and emitted asm is byte-identical (990-997 unperturbed by construction).
Guards (rule 7): recursion depth cap fails loud on a def cycle (same/cross-module); a narrowing cast (rhs outside target range) fails loud rather than silently truncating. Both stages' eval_def_const stamp identically (shared fold_binop semantics) so the substituted literal -- and byte-id -- holds across stages (rule 10, at the check pass).
a1 (same-module) + a2 (cross-module imported def) land together: the driver concatenates imports into one flat scope. Coverage: test/wcc/732_def_const_fold.
Replace the str-only XOR (e0_is_str ^ e1_is_str) at the tuple send
(N_RETURN) and receive (N_MLET/N_MASSIGN) sites with a positional
per-element register cursor, mirroring harec create_unpack_bindings
(ref/harec/src/check.c:1354-1416). Each element rides consecutive
eightbytes over [AX,DX,CX,R8]; a slice/str rides its 3-word
{ptr,len,cap} header (ref/hare/rt/ensure.ha:4-8), a scalar rides 1.
Send and receive walk the SAME type-table widths so element->register
agrees. This routes []u8 elements through the 3-word path (the XOR was
slice-blind, dropping len+cap to the scalar fallback) and closes the
pre-existing (scalar,slice) cs!=ww divergence by construction. cstage
and wwstage emit byte-identical asm.
Both receive sites derive each element's width from the rhs tuple's
element types (n->rhs->type->params / the callee return type) -- the
SAME producer view the send site walks -- NOT the binding type: a `_`
lvalue is an N_IDENT with empty str the checker never type-stamps, so a
binding-typed width mis-sized a wide `_` and desynced the cursor for the
next element (cstage read DX, wwstage R8). harec `_` skips the store but
CONSUMES its tuple offset; the cursor advance honours that.
Loud-stop (rule 7): the register file holds 4 eightbytes; a tuple whose
elements sum to >4 (([]u8,[]u8)/(str,str)=6) cannot be register-returned,
so the send site aborts at compile time citing the return-ABI capacity
(#10) rather than silently miscompiling. The receive loop guards the
same predicate (defense-in-depth). Routed through each stage's EXISTING
pinned-fatal idiom: cstage fatal() (cmd/wcc/err.c), wwstage the inline
os.write(2,...)+os.exit(1) at cgen.ww:604 -- no new diagnostics path.
N_MASSIGN (`a,b=f()`, bare comma, pre-declared) is a retained
ww-EXTENSION beyond Hare's binding-only tuple-unpack (Go/rob-pike
multi-assign, rule-9 carve-out); the loop covers it identically to
N_MLET.
Test 945_tuple_nary_destructure_run: (i64,[]u8)+(i64,str) store+read
len/cap for both N_MLET and N_MASSIGN, a single-str control, a wide-
first blank `_,a=f()` row (the cursor-desync discriminator), and a
([]u8,[]u8) row asserting the loud BUILDERR carries the cited
diagnostic; dual ww/ww_ww drivers.
A slice VALUE stored through a whole-deref lhs `*p = v` dropped len+cap:
the `*p = v` arm kind-gated its 3-word {ptr,len,cap} stash+store on str
ONLY, so a slice fell to the 1-word fldstoreop default (ptr only). The
deref READ is 3-word, so the reader got garbage len/cap -- correctness,
not perf. str IS []u8 since #1, so the str machinery applies verbatim;
widen the gate str -> str||slice (kind-OR, not a sz==24 test). This is
the project #75 str-only-gate one level down (deref-store).
cstage cmd/w6c/cgen.c:3792/3800 (two gates); wwstage cgenexpr.ww `*p=v`
twin detects N_TSLICE syntactically (mirror str). Both stages dropped
identically, so cs==ww + 990-997 + byte-id are all gate-blind here --
only a store->read roundtrip catches it. New 944_deref_slice_store_run
asserts the {ptr,len,cap} survives a poisoned dst, via the direct local
and the field-deref read; str-deref + (*p).field controls guard the
untouched arms. Verified fail-before (1-word ptr store) / pass-after
(8/8), byte-identical asm both stages.
Out-of-gate, deferred to #80: the wwstage syntactic detection is
alias-BLIND -- a slice-alias `*Foo` (Foo=[]T) or non-ident deref-store
stays 1-word, the SAME retained divergence str already carries (cstage's
resolved-type vt fires in both). #80 unifies detection by aligning the
wwstage UP, not gating cstage down. Separately surfaced (filed apart,
not touched here): the whole-deref READ-into-let `let v = *p` drops
len+cap for a slice while the str form is 3-word -- the read-side twin
of this store hole.
A sub-slice base[lo:hi] advanced its data pointer by lo (element
COUNT) instead of lo*esz (BYTES), so the base pointer was wrong for
any esz>1 element. Pointer arithmetic is membsz-unit per the rt
invariant (ref/hare/rt/ensure.ha:30); esz==1 (u8/str) is unchanged.
Four emission sites, fixed byte-identically across stages (rule 10):
- value path: cmd/w6c/cgen.c N_SLICE <-> cgenexpr.ww cgslice
- call-arg: cmd/w6c/cgen.c:4646 <-> cgenutil.ww pushargsrev
Scaling mirrors the cgindex idiom: esz from the type table (rule 13;
cstage bu->sub->size, wwstage elemsizeofc) gated to an N_IDENT base,
uniform IMULQ (no SHL special-case, no immediate form -- w6a is
reg-reg only). The live lo reg is the multiplicand so the one free
GP (DX value / BX arg) holds esz*lo; lo is preserved for len (hi-lo)
and cap (base_cap-lo, #20). The esz==1 path keeps the single ADDQ,
byte-identical to before (#75/#20/str unaffected). Non-ident bases
stay unscaled in both stages (wwstage has no tnode there), tracked
as a #76 residual alongside #74.
New 943_subslice_ptresz_run: table-driven, dual-driver (ww/ww_ww),
esz in {2,4,8} array+slice base, lo>0, let-form + call-arg form;
asserts s[0]==base[lo] & s[1]==base[lo+1]. Fails on every fixture
pre-fix on both stages, passes post-fix. Registered in Makefile
(TESTS + target) so test/run builds and runs it.
A sub-slice `base[lo:hi]` now sets cap to base_cap - lo (the storage
remaining to the underlying end; Go/Hare-identical) instead of hi - lo
(== len). base_cap is the array length N for [N]T, or the .capacity
word carried in a slice/str header at +16. Authored once per stage in
the cg_base_cap / cgbasecap helper, applied at both cap sites: the
N_SLICE value path (which serves let-init since the prior commit) and
the call-arg push. Both stages stay byte-identical (find-4 closed).
cap arithmetic per ref/harec/src/eval.c:1017 (slice: slice.cap -=
start) and eval.c:1024 (array: cap = array.length - start); capacity
is a distinct field per ref/hare/rt/ensure.ha:4-8 and cap >= len per
ref/harec/src/check.c:596. Only the cap arithmetic transfers: the ptr
stays unscaled (lo*esz is #76) and eval.c's stricter start>=end bound
is not ported (ww's runtime bound is start>end).
str[lo:hi] yields str with a real .capacity (D1), so the str base uses
the same +16 load -- no downgrade to []u8. base_cap falls back to len
(prior behavior) where it isn't cleanly available: a non-ident base
(its header cap was discarded by cgexpr; len is likewise wrong for a
defaulted hi there, pre-existing) and a global str base (wwstage
cgslice has no global-str load, #73 -- the carve-out keeps both
stages byte-identical).
Test: 942_subslice_cap_run, table-driven over both drivers, array /
slice / str base + an append-no-realloc row, each shape chosen so
base_cap-lo != hi-lo.
Fold in three pre-existing fixtures that asserted the old cap == len
and so failed under the corrected semantics (project #20):
681_arr_elem_field_write (slice_field_value_write,
slice_field_ptr_write, slice_field_distinct_bytes),
693_dot_tagged_source (local_struct_slice_variant,
via_ptr_slice_variant, letinit_slice_roundtrip, top_level_global_slice),
and 695_match_bind_struct (slice_neg_control). Each cap word updated to
base_cap - lo: a [8]u8 base sliced at lo=0 yields cap 8 (5->8, 3->8);
distinct_bytes slices a [16]u8 at lo=0, yielding cap 16 (6->16). len /
mark / ptr assertions are unchanged -- only the cap word moved.
The G-cluster gave str its 3-word {ptr,len,cap} store/read at indexed/field/chained sites, but each arm was gated on str only; the slice arm fell through to the 1-word fldstoreop default, dropping len+cap. A []T value stored through arr[i]=, arr[i].f=, *struct.f=, or value-spine o.i.f= (and read back via arr[i] / arr[i].f) silently lost length and capacity.
Widen all six arms (4 stores + 2 read mirrors) with a kind-OR (TY_STR||TY_SLICE / typeisstr||typeisslice), never a size test: str and slice are both 24B, so a width gate would fire on both and mask the missing slice arm. The str kind stays distinct and nominal -- the arm is widened, the kinds are not collapsed. cstage and wwstage mirrored.
Gate-blind class: store and read were both short, so byte-identity and cstage==wwstage stayed green on self-consistent garbage; only a runtime len/cap round-trip exposes it (test 941, table-driven, 4 shapes x 2 stages, fail-before/pass-after on both ww and ww_ww).
Deref store (*p=) and tuple-elem store (N_MLET/N_MASSIGN, distinct DX,CX,R8 return-ABI) are the same bug class but separate folds.
Post the str->24B lifts, cgassign had SEPARATE str and slice arms emitting byte-identical 3-word {ptr,len,cap} code. Collapse each identical pair into ONE kind-gated arm (rule 12, sea-of-stars; removes a drift hazard) -- the structural str==[]u8 unification, byte-id-NEUTRAL (each stage's emission unchanged for both str and slice inputs). Pairs: field store s.f=v + ident reassign name=v. cstage gates on the EXACT predicate union (raw kind==TY_STR OR'd with TY_SLICE -- NOT type_isstr, which would also match TY_UNTYPED_STR); ww on isstrtype||isslicetype and letvarisstr||letvarisslice (ww local field/reassign were already merged). Mirrors the in-tree deep-value-chain precedent (cstage 3274). str-only arms with no slice pair (arr[i].field=/chained, G1/G2) untouched.
Verified per-stage PRE==POST byte-identical (focused 5-path fixture + 4 large real combined.ww inputs, both stages); the 5 pairs were byte-identical pre-merge. main.combined.ww regenerated via the canonical make path (md5-stable). A pre-existing global-slice-field-store divergence (g.sl=b: cstage 3-word, wwstage 1-word) surfaced during review -- filed (#26/#10), NOT a C4.4 concern (PRE==POST).
F1 set str.sub = u8; the str-element-size readers no longer need a TY_STR special-case. cstage: delete the two 'if (kind==TY_STR) esz = ty_u8->size' blocks -- the general 'esz = sub->size' path already yields 1 for str (str.sub=u8), as the third index site (which never had the special-case) proves. Provably byte-id-NEUTRAL for ALL inputs: ty_str is the sole TY_STR instance and str.sub==ty_u8, so sub->size==ty_u8->size==1 in every case. No kind-gate (type_isstr/isstrtype arm-selectors) touched.
wwstage elemsizeof (cgenutil.ww) is COMMENT-ONLY: it names primtypesize("u8") directly because it operates on a raw type node with no stamped tinfo at the ident-base index path (str.sub lives on .type_.sub, unstamped here -- cf. cgforrange's 'if sti != nil'); that IS the str.sub-equivalent value, identical asm. Added the WHY + retargeted the citation to the surviving cstage path. The structural collapse there is blocked on tinfo-stamping, not intent -- filed (task #24); byte-id 990-997 guards the residual coupling.
Zero asm change both stages (cstage/wwstage .s byte-identical pre/post and cross-stage). main.combined.ww regenerated via the canonical make path (comment propagation only).
Ranging a str (for (let b .. = s)) and reading the loop var back emitted MOVZBQ on cstage (correct u8 zero-extend) but MOVQ on wwstage (the missed case, #14). Align wwstage UP. ww cgforrange derived the element-type node only for slice/array; for a str scrutinee it left elemt=nil, so the loop var registered with no type and localloadop short-circuited to MOVQ. Fix: for a str scrutinee, synthesize a u8 element node (type_ = str.sub = u8, from F1) as elemt, so localadd hands the loop var a u8 tnode and the GENERIC narrow-load fires (MOVZBQ) -- consuming str.sub as F1 intended, mirroring how []u8 supplies its element node. NOT an if-str special-case. cstage already correct, untouched (ww-only). str's own type stays nominal.
GATE is the ASM SHAPE byte-id (cstage==wwstage at the loop-var read), NOT a runtime probe: the divergence is runtime-benign (MOVQ and MOVZBQ read the same zero-extended byte) so a runtime test passes both ways and cannot distinguish -- it was a byte-id-INVISIBLE divergence (990-997 green despite cstage!=ww, since no bootstrap input exercises a narrow-read str loop var). Verified fail-pre (the cstage-MOVZBQ vs wwstage-MOVQ 1-line diff) / pass-post (.s byte-identical). []u8/slice/array for-range emission unchanged. test/wcc/940 carries the fixture (runtime corpus coverage, both drivers).
main.combined.ww regenerated via the canonical make path.
Reassign-destructuring a (scalar,str) tuple (a, s = call(), N_MASSIGN) stored only the str's ptr (DX->slot+0), dropping len/cap -- the last STORE-cluster gap. Reachable (valid ww; checker accepts str tuple elements) but unexercised in bootstrap (all N_MASSIGN sites returned <=8B tuples). Mirror the N_MLET destructure-store oracle (cgen.c:7475): on the one-str XOR, route the str's 3 words DX/CX/R8 -> slot+0/+8/+16; the slot pre-exists (localfind, not localadd). wwstage has no checker, so it derives str-ness from the callee return-type tuple via fnretlookupmod (structurally identical to cgmlet). Both XOR positions (str at l0 and l1). Kind-gated, never size==24. cstage==wwstage byte-identical.
Scope = one-str only, matching N_MLET exactly; str+str-both is unhandled by N_MLET too and is filed as a shared gap (task #22), with WHY-comments at both destructure sites. N_MLET emission unchanged (its edit is comment-only, verified byte-identical).
test/wcc/939: table-driven write-then-read-cap over both XOR positions (a,s=mk() and s,a=mk2()); cap!=len via mutation (not a sub-slice, #20); pre-poisoned via a non-G3 let-init; full triple+scalar asserted; fail-before/pass-after on both drivers. Completes the str-cap STORE cluster -- the read/write round-trip is now whole. main.combined.ww regenerated via the canonical make path.
Storing a str into a field reached through a *struct-valued expression (e.g. r.sym.flag = v) wrote only 2 words (ptr,len), dropping cap -- the second STORE-cluster fold. Direct transfer of G1 (c692923): the prior arm spilled only ptr/len across the base eval; now spill the full value (PUSHQ CX/BX/AX) after the rhs eval and before the base-expr eval (the stack slot insulates it, base-formation-agnostic), stage the *struct ptr in DX (off the AX/BX/CX str convention), store ptr/len/cap at foff+{0,8,16}. Mirrors the s.f=v oracle (cgen.c:2603); G2 adds the spill the oracle skips because the oracle's base is a slot read, not a clobbering expr. Kind-gated (TY_STR/typeisstr, never size==24). cstage==wwstage byte-identical at the store site.
test/wcc/938: table-driven write-then-read-cap over depth-2 (r.sym.f=) and depth-3 (r.a.b.f=) chained bases, both asm-confirmed to hit the chained arm. rhs is a cap!=len str; all 3 slot words pre-poisoned via a non-G2 direct store; full {ptr,len,cap} triple asserted. fail-before/pass-after verified on both drivers.
main.combined.ww regenerated via the canonical make path (md5-stable).
Storing a str into a field of an indexed element (arr[i].f = v) wrote only 2 words (ptr,len), dropping cap -- the write-side mirror of the arrfield read (c3bbe17), and the first STORE-cluster fold. The trap: the index scale (IMULQ via CX) clobbers CX=cap and the index-expr eval clobbers AX=ptr before the store. Fix composes two proven oracles -- arr[i]=v (cgen.c:3650) spills the value (PUSHQ CX/BX/AX) across the index/address computation, then s.f=v (cgen.c:2603) stages the dst address in DX (off the AX/BX/CX str convention) and stores ptr/len/cap at foff+{0,8,16}. Kind-gated (TY_STR/isstrtype, never size==24). cstage==wwstage byte-identical.
test/wcc/937: table-driven write-then-read-cap over [N]S / []S / [N]*S arr[i].f= ; rhs is a runtime cap!=len str (not a literal, which would be cap==len); all 3 slot words pre-poisoned via a DIFFERENT already-3-word store path so a stale 2-word store is detectable; asserts the full {ptr,len,cap} triple. Meaningful only now the reads are 3-word. fail-before/pass-after verified on both drivers.
main.combined.ww regenerated via the canonical make path (md5-stable).
A str-typed field read of an INDEXED element (arr[i].f) loaded 2 words (ptr,len), dropping cap -- the last 2-word str VALUE-read in the cluster. At the leaf the element base is always in AX; insert cap->CX at foff+16 (final order len->BX+8, cap->CX+16, ptr->AX+0 LAST). ONE shared leaf covers value-array / slice / pointer-element sub-cases (base-formation differs upstream, unaffected). Author-to-ABI, matched to the proven cgslicehdr(D_AX) / caseB slice-arm shape. Kind-gated (TY_STR / isstrtype, never size==24). cstage==wwstage byte-identical at the leaf.
test/wcc/936: table-driven runtime .cap-survives over [N]S-local / []S-local / [N]*S-pointer-elem reads; a 2-word read cannot coincidentally pass (the index scale-multiply clobbers CX, plus an interposed call). fail-before/pass-after verified independently on both drivers.
main.combined.ww regenerated via the canonical make path (md5-stable). Completes the str 3-word VALUE-read cluster (F2 element; C4.6/caseB/S3 fields; arrfield indexed-field). Store-side cap-drop and a struct-slice-creation divergence are separately filed.
Reading a str-typed tuple element by position (t.N) loaded 2 words (ptr,len), dropping cap -- the C4.6 coda with NO adjacent slice-element arm to mirror. Author the 3-word triple directly to the canonical {ptr,len,cap} ABI (AX,BX,CX off the BP frame slot; add cap->CX at +16). Kind-gated (TY_STR / isstrtype, never size==24). cstage==wwstage byte-identical -- cross-stage identity is the correctness oracle here, since there is no local slice sibling.
test/wcc/935: table-driven runtime .cap-survives over let s = t.1; poison rides the return ABI (R8) into the slot's cap word; a CX-clobbering call ensures a 2-word read cannot coincidentally pass. fail-before/pass-after verified INDEPENDENTLY on both stages.
main.combined.ww regenerated via the canonical make path (md5-stable).
The chained N_DOT path (o.p.f, depth>=2, base AX) still loaded a str-typed field as 2 words, dropping cap -- the C4.6 sibling deferred to caseB. Fold the str case onto the adjacent 3-word slice-field arm (widen kind-gate: cstage type_isstr, ww typeisstr; never size==24). Emits len->BX+8, cap->CX+16, ptr->AX+0 LAST (AX is the base). cstage==wwstage byte-identical; the slice arm is unchanged for slices.
test/wcc/934: table-driven runtime .cap-survives over the chained read; the row interposes a CX-clobbering call so a 2-word read cannot coincidentally pass on stale CX (per the 933 discriminator lesson). Verified fail-before/pass-after on both drivers.
main.combined.ww regenerated via the canonical make path (md5-stable).
Reading a str-typed struct field loaded only 2 words (ptr,len), dropping the cap word. Fold the str-field read onto the adjacent proven slice-field arm by widening its kind-gate to include str (type_isstr/isstrtype, never size==24). Sites: S1 direct struct field (local BP + global CX base) and S2 field through a *struct local (pst.f). cstage==wwstage byte-identical; the slice-field arms stay unchanged for slices.
C4.6 bundles the S1 local-field fold with a FORCED global-field lift -- the rule-11 reason they cannot split: cstage reads a field with ONE unified base_reg arm, so folding str covers local AND global together. For byte-id, ww's global field path must then lift in the SAME commit -- but ww splits local/global and its global arm has no slice sibling, so it is authored as ww's own local slice-field arm retargeted to the CX base (cap->CX last, base survives). The underlying cstage-unifies / ww-splits field-arm divergence is a separate filed structural follow-up, not resolved here.
test/wcc/933: table-driven runtime .cap-survives over local/global/*struct field reads, both drivers; verified fail-before/pass-after. The local-field row interposes a CX-clobbering call so a 2-word read cannot coincidentally pass on stale CX (the field store otherwise leaves the cap word lingering in CX).
main.combined.ww regenerated via the canonical make path (md5-stable), per the 1140a59 precedent.
str element value read at N_INDEX dropped the cap word (2-word ptr,len load); str is 24B {ptr,len,cap} since 1140a59. A new named helper cgslicehdr (both stages) loads the full 3-word header and is called by the N_INDEX str-element sites, kind-gated type_isstr/elemisstr -- never size==24, since str and slice collide at 24B. The base-targeting word loads last (clobber-safe). cstage==wwstage byte-identical. The #9 typeassert leaf is split out to F2b (it needs a wwstage spill twin first).
test/wcc/932: table-driven runtime .cap-survives probe over both N_INDEX base forms and both drivers; verified fail-before/pass-after. NNN<950 mirrors the 928 precedent -- the fixtures are self-contained (/tmp, no imports), so rule-14's selfhost-sibling race does not apply.
main.combined.ww regenerated via the canonical make path (md5-stable) and committed alongside source, per the 1140a59 precedent.
str IS []u8 (#1 landed the 24B layout); F1 populates the element type
so the step-3 checker collapse can read str.sub instead of special-
casing TY_STR. No reader consumes str.sub yet, so this is byte-id-
neutral: every shared ->sub reader a TY_STR value can reach is
invariant under NULL->u8 -- u8 is unsigned + size-1, matching the
prior NULL-defaults (size->1, signed->0, isstr/istagged->false); the
only ->size derefs are guarded behind esz>1, which stays false for
str.
Verified inert: compiling a fixed source with the pre- and post-F1
compilers emits byte-identical asm on both stages; cross-stage
byte-id holds and full make test (135 tests incl. 990-997) is green.
cstage cmd/wcc/type.c, wwstage lib/ww/typ.ww; combined.ww regenerated
via the canonical make path.
Phase 2 step 4. The str and slice tagged-union payload stores were
byte-identical adjacent arms (3-word ptr/len/cap @ slot+8/+16/+24 +
tag) since #1 made str a 24B {ptr,len,cap}. Delete the dedicated str
arm and widen the slice arm's gate to accept str (cstage type_isstr,
wwstage nodeisstr). One site, both stages. Byte-id-neutral: str now
flows the identical slice arm; full test incl 990-997 green.
Phase 2 step 2. The N_INDEX element-stride for str hardcoded esz=1;
route it through the type table (cstage ty_u8->size, wwstage
primtypesize("u8")) so str's element width tracks the u8 SSoT. When
the TY_STR collapse (Phase 2 step 5) folds str onto the slice-of-u8
path, these sites need no second edit. Byte-id-neutral: u8 size is 1,
so emitted stride is unchanged; full test (incl 990-997 byte-id
gates) green.
A ww `str` becomes a 24-byte {ptr,len,cap} value, identical in layout to
[]u8 -- the enabling prerequisite for the Phase 2 `str == []u8` collapse.
Both stages, atomically:
- ty_str 16->24B; str value flows 3-reg AX/BX/CX (was 2-reg); str literals
emit cap (=len).
- str in a tagged union grows to a 32B slot, using the AX/DX/CX/R8 4th-word
path already used by 32B slice-variant unions -- str-variant is now
structurally identical.
- tuple (scalar,str) return: 4-reg AX/DX/CX/R8 + 32B receive, extending the
existing type-keyed return (no sret).
- str == []u8 for index and .ptr/.len/.cap, kind-gated where size-based
dispatch collided at 24B; cstage and wwstage mirror exactly.
- table-driven runtime coverage: test/wcc/928_str_abi_run.c.
Cannot be split (rule 10/11): a 24B str and a 16B str cannot coexist across
the two compiler stages without breaking byte-identity, so the size change
and every dependent ABI/codegen site land in one atomic commit, both stages.
Known follow-ups (zero corpus impact, tracked): str-literal global .cap
static-init; >16B struct by-value (pre-existing); tagged-union
match-scrutinee stage divergence (pre-existing).
The N_INDEX node carries the checker-stamped element tinfo (#60 arc); cgindex,
cgun TK_AMP, and cgassign now read the element stride off that .type_.size
instead of indexbaseesz's manual N_DOT-pseudo-field + structlookup walk,
retiring the helper (0 callers, ~96 LOC). Aligns down to cstage's
idx_eff(base->type)->sub->size (cmd/w6c/cgen.c:3517-18, natural element size) --
strictly more cstage-faithful than indexbaseesz's totsize/slotsize derivation
(byte-id held only because firing shapes have totsize==natural; cstage reads
natural and ww-old==cstage, so the flip is structural). Each site keeps its
nil->default-8 fallback; cgindex stays esz-only (signed_elem unset for the
N_DOT base, as before).
Closes the A.6.3 cgenutil-collapse arc: every type/size/offset query in cgen
now reads the checker-stamped tinfo, and the AST-walker / structinfo-walk
helpers it replaced (dotfieldtnode, indexvaluetnode, rhstargetname,
dotinnerstructptr, indexbaseesz) are retired. make test 134/134, byte-id
990-997 hold. Coverage: 713/741/755 + self-rebuild.
The chained value-struct spine-walker resolved root + total offset + leaf
type via structinfo/fieldinfo (slot-padded foff). Swap its guts onto the
stamped root-ident type_: peel TY_NAMED to TY_STRUCT (one TY_PTR hop for a
*struct root) and accumulate tfield.offset down the spine, mirroring cstage's
cur->lhs->type fields walk (cmd/w6c/cgen.c:3156-3216 write, :1955-2030 AMP/
read). Leaf out-param becomes *tinfo; the three callers read leaf-ness via
typeis*/loadopsz, and the cgassign struct-terminal recovers the struct name
from the leaf tinfo's NAMED wrapper for the still-structinfo cgstructlitfill.
Root classification (local/ptr/global) is unchanged, so the firing set and
addressing mode stay byte-identical; the global-root path remains its pre-
existing shared breakage (#27), untouched. Natural tfield.offset equals the
old slot-padded foff for every shape the byte-id gate exercises -- and since
cstage already reads the natural offset and ww-old==cstage held, the flip is
structurally identical, not coincidental.
Latent (off-corpus, byte-id-neutral): the tinfo-peel now fires the str/slice
pseudo-leaf on an aliased-str/slice field where the old structinfo path
bailed -- a faithful-toward-cstage gap closure, filed for a probe + sentinel.
make test 134/134, byte-id 950+990-997 hold.
Both chained-*struct-field sites (cgdot read, cgassign store) read the inner-
struct layout off the stamped inner-dot tinfo (peel NAMED->under, TY_PTR->.sub
->NAMED->under->TY_STRUCT) and walk tinfo.fields for offset + per-field type,
replacing dotinnerstructptr's structinfo re-walk + structlookup. Type dispatch
(str/slice/float, load/store op) keys on tfield.type_ via the existing *tinfo
predicates; ft.slotsize reproduces the old fieldsize exactly (== size for all
kinds reached here except struct/array). cstage parity: cgen.c:1653-1655
(read fl->offset), 2514/2541 (store f->offset).
Behavior-preserving: a strict per-level gate (every chain dot must peel through
a *struct, root must be N_IDENT && localfindnode != nil) reproduces
dotinnerstructptr's EXACT locals-only-with-all-*struct-intermediates firing set
-- a by-value intermediate dot bails to the identical pre-existing generic path.
asm is byte-identical (990-997 hold; both the strict gate and the looser
superset tested 134/134, confirming the corpus has no by-value-intermediate
chain). Deliberately NOT widened past the old set: global-root and by-value-
intermediate chained dots stay on their old paths -- the global case is a
pre-existing SHARED base-eval defect (cstage mis-evals the global base as
(BP)->segfault; wwstage no-stores), filed #27 to fix in both stages together.
dotinnerstructptr deleted (0 callers). Offset now sources from tinfo.fields
(natural layout) vs old structinfo (slot-padded); they coincide for flat
structs (all reached here), with nested-by-value-struct divergence pre-existing
and left to #57/#6/#7 territory.
cgassign's two element-store sites (N_DOT and N_INDEX index targets) fed the
index node into indexvaluetnode to recover the element type. The tagged-store
machinery reads tinfo directly post-#68, so both sites now read the checker-
stamped element tinfo via lhs.type_: esz from .size (mirror #60), tagged gate
via the shared istaggedtype/slotsize/cgwidentaggedstore path (all NAMED-
peeling). cstage parity: cgen.c:3507-3523 (idx_eff(base->type)->sub->size).
The new esz reads the element's natural .size, where the old elemsizeofc
routed struct elements through slotsize -- so a padded-struct chained-index
store (`[][]Point`) now matches cstage's ->size instead of diverging; that
shape is untested (#7 indexbaseesz territory), so this is faithfulness, not
a corpus change.
With cgassign migrated, indexvaluetnode has zero external callers; dotfieldtnode's
sole caller was indexvaluetnode; rhstargetname is self-recursive only -- all
three retired (-132 LOC). This closes the A.6.3 AST-walker arc: the *node
type-resolvers that existed because tinfo was lossy on nominal identity are
gone, now that Phase-N (#63-#68) built the TY_NAMED layer and every consumer
reads the stamped tinfo. make test 134/134, byte-id 950+990-997 hold.
cgwidentaggedstore/storebp/cgwidentagremap took a type *node and re-derived
the tagged shape via resolvetagged + N_TTAGGED.list walks. Migrate them onto
the stamped tinfo (the store-side parallel of #66's match-side flip): dst is
now the tagged *tinfo (peel TY_NAMED->du, gate TY_TAGGED), variant lookup +
tag-remap read tinfo.params by typeeq, mirroring cstage cg_widen_tagged_store
/ cg_widen_tag_remap / cg_tag_for_variant (cmd/w6c/cgen.c:1273/1177/503). The
N_CAST widening test flips from surface-name streq to `castu==dt || (castu
tagged && typeeq(castt,dst))` (cgen.c:1295).
Node-form flatvariantidx/taggedvariantindex become thin shims over new tinfo
cores (flatvariantidxt/taggedvariantindext) so node-side callers (cgreturn
cgenstmt:269, pushargs cgenutil:192) are untouched. The 9 cgwidentaggedstore
callers pass node.type_ (each already istaggedtype/slotsize-gated). resolvetagged
is retained for its 7 match-side callers.
Incidentally retires two latent ww-vs-cstage divergences, both byte-id-neutral
on the corpus: the old N_CAST test set castisdst for ANY N_TTAGGED regardless
of type equality (cstage guards on type_eq), and the old remap walked the
UNflattened src.list (cstage walks the flattened params). Unblocks cgassign's
indexvaluetnode drop (#69/#61d). make test 134/134, byte-id 990-997 hold.
matchscrutt's N_DOT branch resolved the field type via the dotfieldtnode
AST walk + resolvetagged; post-#66 the N_DOT node carries the field tinfo
on .type_, so return the scrutinee node directly and let cgmatch gate on
istaggedtype(scrutt) instead of scrutt.kind == N_TTAGGED. All six scrutt
consumers read .type_ (peeling TY_NAMED), none reads node structure, so a
value node vs a type node is invisible downstream; the istaggedtype guard
preserves the old nil-for-non-tagged contract.
Symmetry-improving (rule 10): cstage derives the dispatch type from s->type
with one unconditional NAMED-peel (cmd/w6c/cgen.c:4847-4850; the N_IDENT
check at :4854 is only the slot-offset fast-path). The old dotfieldtnode
required base.kind == N_IDENT -- a restriction cstage never had -- so the
chained-dot widening this enables matches cstage (out-of-corpus, #14).
Drops matchscrutt's dotfieldtnode caller (external callers 2->1; the
indexvaluetnode:1084 internal recursion remains, and the cgassign tagged-
store sites still need the node-keyed resolvetagged machinery, so neither
walker is deletable yet -- store-migration + #61d follow). N_DOT-match
coverage: 693/694/695/700/744 (runtime). byte-id 990-997 unchanged, 134/134.
The user-ruled B-full semantic change: flip tagged-union variant matching
from surface-NAME to TYPE-identity (typeeq over tinfo.params), mirroring
cstage cg_variant_match (cmd/w6c/cgen.c:451). A cross-module `a.T` != `b.T`
and `type linerr=!str` != str are now distinguished by the per-decl TY_NAMED
pointer (Phase-N #64). ww has no type_assignable, so the untyped/loose arm
keeps the str/slice shape fallback (rule-10 align-down). The 5 helpers
(flatvariantidx, flatslicevariantidx, taggedvariantindex, cgtagvariantidx,
cgmatch dispatch) flip; nomem propagation (NAMED-name scan, no source value)
and the f64 widen arm (float-kind classification, no pattern node) are not
arm-by-value discrimination and stay name/kind-keyed.
The flip requires value nodes to carry nominal identity. exprtype's
N_STRUCTLIT arm stamped the flattened body, so `overflow{}` (overflow=!void)
got TY_VOID and missed its variant -- fixed to stamp the per-decl NAMED
(mktname(lhs.str) -> tinfofornode reuses the #64 NAMED build/cache, same ptr
the union variant resolved to), mirroring the N_CAST/N_IDENT arms + cstage.
Returns the body node unchanged (only e.type_ rides NAMED); struct-lit layout
is unaffected -- cgstructlitfill is structlookup(name)-keyed, never reads
NAMED.fields. The fix now hits all `T{}` stamps, kept byte-id by the #63/#65
structural-walker peels.
931_variant_typekey_run: table-driven, both stages, /tmp-isolated. Two rows
widen an alias-FIRST variant from a call (no surface name): `(linerr|str)`
str-via-call -> idx 1, `(ec|i32)` i32-via-call -> idx 1. Empirically
discriminating: FAILS pre-flip (wwstage falls to the leading-shape variant,
exit 10; cstage exit 0) and PASSES post-flip -- locking in the capability
byte-id can't reach (the corpus has no name-key/type-key-disagreeing
co-variant, which is why name-keying survived).
make test 134/134 (byte-id 990-997 green; 995 self-rebuild green).
#64 flowed per-decl TY_NAMED wrappers, falsifying two #63-era assumptions
surfaced in the flip review.
elemissignedc read ti.sub for element signedness without peeling TY_NAMED;
a NAMED-of-indexable would read NAMED.sub (nil) instead of the underlying's.
Add the transitive peel ahead of the .sub read, mirroring cstage idx_eff's
type_unwrap (cmd/w6c/cgen.c:790) before eff->sub (:3518-3520). Byte-id-neutral:
every aliased indexable in-tree has a u8 element (typeissigned=false either
way). Independent .sub/.under inventory confirms elemissignedc was the sole
structural reader missing a peel (castsrcprim + TK_AMP already NAMED-guarded;
typeis* handle element NAMED via .under recursion; typeeq is nominal by
design and must not peel).
Refresh the 5 #63 peel-site comments (slotsize, fieldsize, nullableptrtag,
tupleelemslot, fieldslotsize): the peel now actively fires (#64 builds NAMED)
rather than being a no-op; byte-id holds because NAMED collapses to the
alias-invariant underlying.
make test 133/133 (byte-id 990-997 green).
tinfofornode's TNAME arm collapsed aliases to their underlying tinfo; flip
it to build a per-decl TY_NAMED wrapper cached on sym.type_, so every TNAME
resolving to the same decl yields one tinfo pointer -- ptr-identity =
nominal identity. Mirrors cstage's two-phase type_named (cmd/wcc/check.c:
1900-1929, resolve_typename :60-88): create the NAMED, pre-bind sym.type_
BEFORE resolving under (self-ref cycle-break, e.g. `type node = struct
{next: *node}`), then patch under + copy size/align/slotsize off the
immediate body. CHAINS not flatten (`type a=b` gives under=NAMED(b)),
matching resolve_typename returning the inner NAMED.
aliassym factored out of resolvealias for the one-level decl lookup;
resolvealias delegates and is behaviorally identical.
Semantically INERT until typeeq consumes nominal identity (step 3, #16) --
live type equality today is the AST-keyed typeeqast, and typeeq has no live
callers. The #63 structural-walker peels + cstage-mirrored single-if peels
keep all tinfo.kind sites correct with NAMED flowing -- byte-id 990-997
unchanged (133/133, independently re-confirmed on a quiescent tree).
Phase-N prerequisite (additive, byte-id unchanged). slotsize / fieldsize /
nullableptrtag (cgenutil) and tupleelemslot / fieldslotsize (check) read
size/slot/kind off a tinfo without peeling TY_NAMED. Once Phase-N step 2
(#64) makes tinfofornode build per-decl TY_NAMED wrappers, an unpeeled
reader would misbehave (fall through to 8 / take natural size not slot /
miss NAMED-of-tagged). Prepend a transitive `for (t != nil && t.kind ==
tykind.TY_NAMED) { t = t.under; }` peel + nil re-guard at each, mirroring
cstage's `while (t->kind == TY_NAMED) t = t->under` and the recursive
typeis* predicates.
Additive no-op today: tinfofornode still collapses aliases, so no NAMED is
ever built and the loop never executes. byte-id 990-997 unchanged (133/133).
Audit (worker + reviewer, independently, across all selfhost/cmd/wcc/*.ww
+ lib/ww/*.ww): these 5 are the ONLY non-peeling structural walkers. typeis*
recurse on .under; typeeq is nominal by design (ptr-identity, the step-3
goal); typeisuntyped cannot receive a NAMED; check.ww type constructors and
localloadop read only .size/.slotsize, which typenamed copies from .under so
they stay numerically correct on a NAMED without peeling.
A.6.3 #61 prerequisite (additive, no consumer changes). The tagged-variant
machinery (taggedvariantindex / flatvariant* / cgwidentagremap / cgmatch)
is AST-keyed -- it walks N_TTAGGED.list and spread-flattens `...inner` at
read time. To migrate it onto tinfo.params (#61b/c) the chain must first
carry the flattened variant set + per-variant error mark, matching cstage's
Type.params / Type.iserror.
tinfofornode's TTAGGED arm now splices `...inner` tagged spreads into
ti.params (dealias one NAMED level, require TY_TAGGED, inline its already-
flattened variants in declaration order) -- mirror of cstage check.c:366-389.
Each variant gets an iserror flag via varianterr (TBANG / `!`-aliased).
size/align stay accounted off the surface member so ti.size is byte-identical
to before; the flatten + iserror have zero readers this commit (the lone
TY_TAGGED params reader, nullableptrtag, only fires on 2-variant nullable
unions with no spreads).
iserror rides the shared tparam struct rather than a sidecar: a cstage-mirror
divergence from harec, which carries no per-variant flag (models `!T` as a
STORAGE_ERROR type node, ref/harec/include/types.h:144, src/types.c:151-159).
Faithful port filed as #62. Spread-only flatten (cstage check.c:373 also
flattens non-spread anonymous-nested unions) is a known symmetry gap, inert
in bootstrap, tracked for #61b.
make test 133/133 (quiescent tree, byte-id 990-997 green).
pushargsrev and cgindex re-derived an index element's type via
indexvaluetnode (a base->TPTR/SLICE/ARRAY .lhs AST walk). The checker
stamps the element type on the N_INDEX node itself (indexresult,
check.ww:1710; N_INDEX is in the asserttyped gate), so read n.type_
directly at the 3 sites that only need tagged-ness + element size/sign:
cgenutil pushargsrev L178/490: pass the N_INDEX arg to istaggedtype/
slotsize (arg.type_ is the element tinfo).
cgenexpr cgindex L726: esz = n.type_.size, signed = typeissigned(n.type_).
Polarity DOWN per rule 10: cstage has no indexvaluetnode -- it reads
base->type->sub->size directly (cmd/w6c/cgen.c:2070-2071, :3518). The new
path reads element natural size (tinfo.size == primsize: rune=4, u8=1,
str=16, slice=24), matching cstage; it also retires two latent elemsizeofc
divergences (elemsizeofc returned slotsize N*8 for *[N]i64 / 2D-array
elements where cstage uses sub->size=8) -- those shapes are absent from
self-compile, so byte-id stays green.
indexvaluetnode is NOT deleted: its remaining callers at cgenexpr
L3720/3729 feed cgwidentaggedstore -> resolvetagged -> resolvetype, still
node-keyed (nil for non-N_TNAME). Deleting it waits on the resolvetagged
-> tinfo migration (#11).
make test 133/133 (byte-id 990-997 green, independently re-confirmed on
quiescent tree).
exprprimresolved's N_DOT arm derived a struct field's prim width+sign by
walking the field's declared *node (dotfieldtnode + typenodeprimresolved
alias recursion). Read the checker-stamped tinfo instead, mirroring cstage
castsrcprim N_DOT (cmd/w6c/cgen.c:323-344): the base's n.lhs.type_ must
resolve to a struct (peel NAMED->PTR->NAMED, require TY_STRUCT) before the
field counts -- excluding pseudo-fields .len/.cap/.ptr (stamped i32/*T at
check.ww:1987-2004; their base is TY_SLICE/TY_STR/TY_ARRAY, never TY_STRUCT,
so the guard yields sz=0) and tuple positionals, which stay sz=0 to preserve
995 byte-id. The field's width/sign comes from the N_DOT's own n.type_
(check.ww:2012), one NAMED peel then typeisint?size:0. Bool exclusion is
now free via typeisint(bool)=false, dropping the old streq("bool") arm.
Polarity DOWN per rule 10: cstage castsrcprim already reads the stamped
type. typenamed() has zero callers in wwstage (tinfofornode collapses all
alias depth to the body), so no tinfo carries kind TY_NAMED -- the NAMED
peels are dead/inert, output matches cstage.
Removes one dotfieldtnode caller (3->2; remaining cgenutil 1073, 1871).
typenodeprimresolved retained (3 callers: cgenutil 1459/1465, cgenexpr 431).
Part of the dotfield* consumer-migration arc.
make test 133/133 (quiescent tree, byte-id 990-997 green). Coverage:
710_cast_enum_movl rows struct_field_rt + pseudo_field_clamp + bool_to_i8.
rhstaggedabicall's N_DOT arm re-derived the field type via dotfieldtnode
(a base-ident-only structlookup walk) then asked istaggedtype. The
checker now stamps the field's resolved type on the N_DOT node itself
(check.ww struct-field arm), so read src.type_ directly. typeistagged(nil)
is false, preserving the old ft==nil bail.
Polarity DOWN per rule 10: cstage's gate was already wide. cg_widen_tagged_
store reads src->type inline, NAMED-resolved, then tests TY_TAGGED
(cmd/w6c/cgen.c:1302-1305) -- no standalone helper. Pre-trim wwstage's
gate was NARROWER (dotfieldtnode required base==N_IDENT, firing only for
`ident.field`); reading src.type_ also fires for chained-dot bases
(`a.b.c`) since the checker stamps N_DOT.type_ at any depth. This aligns
wwstage UP to cstage's existing coverage. Byte-id 990-997 green confirms
the widened shape does not occur in bootstrap sources -- byte-id-neutral.
Drops one dotfieldtnode caller; the *node-returning callers
(typenodeprimresolved, indexvaluetnode, matchscrutt) stay until their
consumers migrate to *tinfo (the closing dotfield* deletion follows once
none need *node). First clean slice of that consumer migration; same
g/h-style stamp read as #55/#56.
Known pre-existing gap (filed, not introduced here): neither stage's
chained-DOT read path has a tagged-union leaf branch, so a chained-dot
tagged ABI source would store stale DX/CX/R8. Symmetric across stages
(byte-id stays green); the retained `cgdot loads AX=tag, DX=word0, ...`
comment is accurate only for ident.field bases.
make test 133/133 (quiescent tree, byte-id 990-997 green).
Phase 1 of A.6.3i: populate the field chain in tinfofornode's TSTRUCT
and TTUPLE arms so Phase 2/J/K (#58/#59/#60) can retire dotfieldtnode,
dotinnerstructptr, dotchainresolve, and indexbaseesz off their AST-keyed
structinfo walk and onto a tinfo read. Direct analog 26724fe (#50 phase
1, A.6.3f-a) for the head/tail append-list pattern.
TSTRUCT walks n.list's N_TFIELD chain in lockstep with the existing
natural-layout offset accumulator: alloc tfield {name, type_, offset,
tnext}, link head/tail, set r.fields after the loop. Mirrors cstage
cmd/wcc/check.c:468-527. Harec cite: ref/harec/include/types.h:109-115
struct_field and ref/harec/src/type_store.c:314-347 struct_init_from_atype.
Anonymous-embed promotion not populated here (#13 per the cstage cite
at check.ww:1263).
TTUPLE adds a new ttupleelem struct {type_, offset, tnext} on a new
tinfo.tupleelems slot, distinct from .fields per Rob's call: harec
splits struct_field vs type_tuple at types.h:109-115 vs :122-126
because tuples are positional/anonymous and struct members are named,
and the name="" idiom #50 reused for tagged-variants-on-tparam would
conflate two semantic axes. Diverges from cstage cmd/wcc/check.c:329-345
which stores tuple positionals on t->params (Tparam, no offset, consumer
recomputes by walking at cgen.c:5723-5750); storing the offset matches
the A.6 stamp-once-read-many arc Phase 2/J/K consume. Offset is raw-sum
(no per-element padding) matching cstage cgen.c:5723-5750, distinct
from harec's add_padding at type_store.c:561.
Purely additive: r.fields and r.tupleelems have zero readers today.
Phase 2/J/K consume. make test 133/133 (worker port); test-unit 124/124
post comment-only review trim.
nodeisslice + nodeisstr each walked base->struct->field on N_DOT,
gated on `base.kind == nkind.N_IDENT` (with dotinnerstructptr and
dotchainresolve fallbacks for chained / value-struct cases) --
duplicating cstage at the AST level while silently dropping
multi-level chains rooted at non-IDENT/DOT bases (e.g. `t.1.field`
for a tuple positional). After A.6.2 the checker stamps n.type_ on
every N_DOT (check.ww:1947-1996 pseudo-field, struct-field, and
tuple-positional arms), and A.6.3b landed typeisstr / typeisslice.
Both arms collapse to one tinfo read.
Polarity DOWN per rule 10: cstage was already aligned. cgen.c:168-170
node_isstr = type_isstr(n->type); cgen.c:182-184 node_isslice =
type_isslice(n->type). Wwstage was the laggard; this brings wwstage
to cstage's leaner shape, mirroring A.6.3g (8da1414).
Silent-false coverage gain: multi-level chains and tuple-positional
bases (`t.1.field` for a str element) now resolve via the checker
stamp instead of returning false. The "Not covered: tuple-positional"
bullet in nodeisstr's docstring is removed accordingly. dotchainresolve
itself is untouched -- still used by cgenexpr (cgdot read-path, &-of
address-of, structlit BP write-back). Byte-identity (994/995) is the
gate.
make test 133/133 ok. Net cgenutil.ww -110.
nodeisunsigned + exprfloatkind each manually walked base->struct->field
on N_DOT, gated on `base.kind == nkind.N_IDENT` -- duplicating cstage's
behaviour at the AST level while silently dropping the nested-N_DOT case
(`a.b.c` returned the conservative default). After A.6.2 the checker
stamps n.type_ on every N_DOT expression (check.ww:1973 struct-field
arm of exprtype), and A.6.3a/b landed the tinfo helpers (typeisunsigned,
isfloattype/isf32type) that the inner reads already use. Both arms
collapse to one tinfo read.
Polarity DOWN per rule 10: cstage was already aligned. cmd/w6c/cgen.c:
2330-2331 reads type_isunsigned(n->lhs->type) directly; cgen.c:152-156
node_isfloat = cg_isfloat(n->type); cgen.c:195-199 node_isf32 =
type_isf32(n->type). No exprfloatkind-equivalent walker exists in
cstage -- it is pre-A.6.2 wwstage scaffolding. Wwstage now reads the
same shape as cstage on N_DOT.
Nested N_DOT (a.b.c) now resolves to the field type instead of returning
the conservative default. Byte-identity (994/995) confirms the codegen
matches cstage on the test set -- cstage was already getting nested-dot
right via checker-stamped n->type, wwstage was the laggard.
make test 133/133 ok. Net cgenutil.ww -41 / +3.
Phase 2 of A.6.3f, closing A.6.3 entirely (a/b/c/d/e/f-a/f-b all
landed). With #50 phase 1 (26724fe) populating TY_TAGGED.params,
nullableptrtag retires its AST-keyed predecessor: walk ti.params,
strip TY_NAMED via .under on each variant, return idx of first
TY_PTR.
Mirrors cstage cmd/w6c/cgen.c:404-416 line-for-line. Source-order
semantics preserved by phase 1's append-tail head/tail
construction (head = first n.list variant). For a `(*T | void)`,
*T-first → returns 0; void-first → walks past void (vt.kind==
TY_VOID, no match), *T at idx 1 → returns 1.
Two paths the new tinfo-keyed body handles that the AST walk
missed (cstage parity, dead-in-bootstrap today, parallel to #49
TY_TUPLE / #51b typed-float corrections):
- Aliased *T variant: `type ip = *int; let x: (ip | void);` —
cstage cgen.c:415 strips TY_NAMED via .under; new wwstage
body mirrors. Bootstrap has zero aliased-ptr-variant
callsites today (`grep "^type [a-z]+ = \*"` yields only an
out-of-union test/uses.ww case).
- void-first ordering: cstage walks past TY_VOID and finds *T
at idx 1. Same in wwstage. No test/wcc fixture exercises
void-first today.
Outer-type TY_NAMED strip (cstage cgen.c:409 `if t->kind==TY_NAMED
t = t->under`) intentionally skipped: tinfofornode for N_TNAME
already resolves the alias and returns the underlying tinfo
unwrapped — `typenamed` is declared at lib/ww/typ.ww:238 but has
zero producers in selfhost today. The strip would be a no-op
under current invariants. Tracked as part of #13 (TTAGGED
normalization parity) for when wwstage starts producing
TY_NAMED.
Net +30 LOC across cgenutil.ww + two .combined.ww bundler regens
(new function body is ~14 lines vs ~4; new WHY comment shorter
than the pre-graduation note's 7).
Byte-identity (994/995) is the gate; full make test green at
133/133 confirms.
Phase 1 of Rob's two-phase A.6.3f pattern: populate the variant
chain in `tinfofornode`'s TTAGGED arm so phase 2 (#50b) can retire
`nullable_ptr_tag`'s AST-keyed walk in cgenutil onto a tinfo read.
Per b8e5a92 (A.6.3b) commit body: "nullableptrtag stays AST-keyed
for now — tinfofornode doesn't populate TY_TAGGED.params … so the
tinfo equivalent of cstage cgen.c:405 nullable_ptr_tag can't read
params today."
Restructure the TTAGGED arm into a single pre-pass: walk `n.list`,
resolve each variant via tinfofornode, alloc `tparam{name="",
type_=vt, tnext=nil}`, link head/tail, accumulate maxsz + al
inline. Set `r.params = head` after the loop. AST-level nullable
fold runs after, before size assignment — kept AST-keyed (not
ported to cstage's tinfo-level `kind==TY_VOID && !iserror` check)
because wwstage tinfo carries no `iserror` field; that's an honest
data-shape divergence (filed in passing as part of #13's TTAGGED
normalization arc).
Mirrors cstage cmd/wcc/check.c:347-435 — same head/tail append-
list construction, same Tparam reuse across struct-fields /
tuple-fields / fn-params / tagged-variants (sea-of-stars per
rule 12 — one record, four consumers, no per-kind variant of
the param node). Diverges from harec's array+id-sort at
ref/harec/include/types.h:128-132 / ref/harec/src/type_store.c:
431-432; rule 10 anchors wwstage byte-id to cstage, not harec.
Purely additive: ti.params has zero readers on TY_TAGGED today
(typeeq walks params only for TY_FN/TY_TUPLE; cgenutil's
nullableptrtag is still AST-keyed; #50b will consume). Byte-
identity (994/995) unchanged at 133/133 — pre-impl risk audit
by ken-thompson came back zero, confirmed by full make test.
A latent divergence wwstage doesn't cover (never-drop /
...spread / dedup / single-variant collapse — see cstage type
set normalization at check.c:393-432) is pre-existing and out
of #50's scope; tracked as #13. Phase 2 nullableptrtag is a
linear walk for the first TY_PTR variant in a 2-variant
nullable, indifferent to ordering and dedup, so it does not
need #13 closed first.

fieldsize selected the slot-padded byte width of a struct field's
type-AST via the same TBANG/TNAME/TPTR/TSLICE/TARRAY/TTAGGED walker
shape slotsize used pre-#48 — with TNAME branching into
structlookup, enumlookup, and aliaslookup to follow the AST chain
back to a primitive size or struct totsize. After A.6.2 stamping
+ #48's slotsize collapse, the same data is reachable through
the populated tinfo:
TY_STRUCT / TY_ARRAY → ti.slotsize
TY_TAGGED / TY_SLICE / TY_STR → ti.size
TY_PTR / TY_FN / TY_CHAN → 8
primitives + TY_ENUM + TY_TUPLE → ti.size (catch-all > 0)
fallback → 8
cstage SSoT is `f->type->size` at cmd/w6c/cgen.c:1386, :1656, :2515,
:2535 — wwstage routes through ti.slotsize for composites (the
#48 verdict centralizes the slot-pad rule on tinfo) and through
ti.size where natural width and in-struct width coincide.
Two latent behavior fixes ride alongside the collapse, both
cstage-parity and dead-in-bootstrap (995 byte-id is the regression
gate, currently green at 133/133):
- TY_TUPLE-typed struct field: old walker had no TTUPLE arm and
fell through to 8; cstage `f->type->size` reads the natural
sum (e.g., 24 for `(i64, str)`). New code reads ti.size,
matching cstage.
- !T-typed struct field: old walker had no TBANG arm and fell
through to 8; cstage iserror-passthrough returns the inner
type's size. tinfofornode strips N_TBANG (check.ww:1154-1161)
so the new dispatch sees the inner ti directly.
No fixtures in selfhost exercise either case today; both fixes
are pre-correct for future code that does.
Body went from ~47 LOC to ~16 LOC. `c: *cgen` retained unused for
callsite stability (slotsize / localloadop precedent, a828c03 /
68219a1). Two callsites in cgenutil.ww:1870 + cgenexpr.ww:3594
untouched.
Dot-chain helpers (dotinnerstructptr, dotfieldtnode,
dotchainresolve) are split off as #49b — they walk a cgen-side
`structinfo` table keyed by field name + offset, and tinfo.fields
is not yet populated by check.ww's TSTRUCT/TTUPLE arms. Parallel
structure to #50's TY_TAGGED.params gap; treat as a separate
populate-then-port pair.
Net -48 LOC across cgenutil.ww + two .combined.ww bundler regens.

slotsize selected the slot-padded width for a frame slot via an AST
walker over TBANG / TPTR / TFN / TCHAN / TSLICE / TTUPLE / TTAGGED /
TNAME / TARRAY / TSTRUCT — duplicating the size + slot-pad math
tinfofornode already runs at check time. With A.6.2 stamping every
N_T* kind's n.type_, plus #61 A.5 splitting tinfo.slotsize from
tinfo.size, the dispatch collapses to a kind switch over the
populated tinfo:
- TY_VOID → 0
- TY_PTR/SLICE/CHAN/FN/STR/TAGGED → ti.size (size == slotsize for
these kinds)
- TY_STRUCT/TUPLE/ARRAY → ti.slotsize (slot-padded by check.ww's
TSTRUCT/TTUPLE/TARRAY arms with the same field-pad / stride
rules cgenutil's registerstruct uses)
- primitives → catch-all 8 (pad-to-8 lives at the read site, not
in ti.slotsize, so [N]i32 stride stays 4)
Ww-to-Hare divergence (deliberate, team consensus): Hare's struct
type carries only `size` (ref/harec/include/types.h:134-137); QBE
handles slot padding downstream. ww emits Plan 9 amd64 asm directly,
so slot-padding is part of the ww calling convention and belongs on
the type table. Cstage scatters pad-to-8 inline at ~30+ localoff
sites + the `(su->kind == TY_TAGGED) ? su->size : 16` tagged-spill
pattern at cmd/w6c/cgen.c:4850 / :5193 — that scattering would be a
rule-13 (no hardcoded size literals) violation in ww. Centralizing
on tinfo.slotsize IS the rule-13-compliant shape; #61 A.5 put it
there, and #48 just consumes it. Rule 9 is lib/-scoped; tinfo is
compiler-internal (already diverges via node.type_ as a checker
invariant Hare/harec lacks). Rule 10 covers inference power, not
data shape — byte-identity (994/995) holds at 133/133.
Body went from ~150 LOC AST walk to ~15 LOC tinfo dispatch. Two
nil guards (typn == nil, ti == nil) fall through to 8 — same outcome
as cstage's `(t && t->size > 0) ? sz : 8` defensive shape.
`c: *cgen` retained unused for callsite stability (localloadop
precedent, 68219a1).
Net -453 LOC across cgenutil.ww + two .combined.ww bundler regens.
Follow-up filed: grow cstage Type.slot_size symmetrically and
sizelint-ok-annotate the surviving inline 8s until ported.
localloadop selected MOVBQSX/MOVBQZX/MOVSWQ/MOVL/MOVQ for scalar
local/let loads via an AST walk down TBANG/TENUM/TNAME-alias chains,
re-consulting aliaslookup and ending in fieldsize + fieldissignedc.
Three precursors retire the walk: #53 (e3237d1, scopelookupprefer
fixes flat-alias collision in resolvealias), #51 (1ce0f63, INTLIT
tsuffix stamp), #52 (747279c, typenameisunsigned collapse onto
typeisunsigned). Plus the A.6.2 type-AST stamp invariant at
check.ww L426-436.
Body collapses to two nil guards + ti.size + size cascade +
typeissigned(ti). cstage cmd/w6c/cgen.c:357-362 is the SSoT;
wwstage now reads tinfo.size directly the same way cstage reads
t->size, with TBANG / TENUM / TNAME-alias chains pre-folded by
tinfofornode (check.ww:1102-1153 TNAME, 1154-1161 TBANG,
1196-1208 TENUM).
Defensive nil branches mirror cstage's `(t && t->size > 0) ? sz : 8`
fall-through: when type info is missing, sz fails the != 1/2/4
discriminator and the helper returns MOVQ. Both nil paths are
reachable: cgenexpr.ww callers (4 sites: 643, 664, 5380, 5471)
populate the *node via a search loop that may exit with nil.
Signature unchanged — `c: *cgen` is retained unused for callsite
stability, mirroring A.6.3a fieldissignedc(c, t) which followed the
same precedent. 5 callsites in cgenexpr.ww untouched (body-only
collapse).
Net -33 LOC across cgenutil.ww + two .combined.ww bundler regens.

A.6.3a (#45) deferred typenameisunsigned because its two callers —
typenodeprimresolved and exprprimresolved — consumed a raw str:
TNAME.str / INTLIT.tsuffix. #51 (1ce0f63) stamped tsuffix-typed
N_INTLIT.type_ via tinfofornode; together with check.ww L426-436
type-AST stamping, both call sites now read a stamped n.type_
instead of a raw name.
typenodeprimresolved L1583 swaps typenameisunsigned(nm) for
typeisunsigned(cur.type_: *tinfo). cur is the walked N_TNAME; its
type_ is stamped at check time.
exprprimresolved L1620 swaps typenameisunsigned(s) for typeisunsigned
(n.type_: *tinfo). n is the N_INTLIT whose tsuffix is s; type_ is
stamped by the #51 arm. primsize(s) > 0 IS the tsuffix-resolves-to-
builtin gate, so the stamp is guaranteed at the read site.
typenameisunsigned (cgenutil.ww L850-866) deleted: -17 LOC of body
+ WHY block. Net change is three files (cgenutil.ww + two
.combined.ww bundler regens, same -17 each).
Mirrors cstage cmd/wcc/type.c:178 type_isunsigned plus cmd/w6c/cgen.c
castsrcprim routing INTLIT.tsuffix through n->type, then
type_isunsigned. Aligned, not richer.

cstage cmd/wcc/check.c:702 cexpr N_FLOATLIT arm uses lookup_builtin
(n->tsuffix) with fall-through to ty_untyped_float. wwstage's
exprtype N_FLOATLIT arm at check.ww L1582 was unconditional
untyped_float — the symmetric-stage gap flagged at the tail of #51.
New arm: when e.tsuffix is non-empty, mktname+tinfofornode resolves
the builtin and stamps e.type_; on nil tinfo fall through to the
existing untyped_float path. Same shape as the #51 INTLIT arm one
block up.

cstage cmd/wcc/check.c:694 cexpr N_INTLIT arm uses lookup_builtin
(n->tsuffix) with fall-through to ty_untyped_int. wwstage's exprtype
N_INTLIT arm at check.ww L1565 was unconditional untyped_int — a
symmetric-stage gap that left the last raw-str-typed reads of
TNAME.str / INTLIT.tsuffix alive in typenodeprimresolved /
exprprimresolved (the deferrals named at the end of A.6.3a, #45).
New arm: when e.tsuffix is non-empty, mktname+tinfofornode resolves
the builtin and stamps e.type_; on nil tinfo fall through to the
existing untyped_int path. Mirrors harec ref/harec/src/check.c
check_expr_literal routing typed ICONST through builtin_type_for_storage.
N_FLOATLIT at check.ww:1582 carries the same gap (cstage check.c:702
does the same lookup_builtin/untyped_float fall-through); filed as
#51b for a separate bisect-clean follow-up.
This is the additive stamp half; #52 collapses the two remaining
typenameisunsigned callers onto tinfo reads of the stamped type_.

The bare-leaf TNAME lookup in resolvealias used flat scopelookup,
which bucket-walks all matching names and returns whichever entry
hashed in first. Two modules each declaring `type invalid = ...`
collided in the same flat scope: utf8.invalid (`!void`) and
strconv.invalid (`!i32`) resolved to whichever registered first.
That drove a localloadop divergence at the 994/995 byte-id gates —
MOVSXD vs MOVQ — depending on which alias the checker happened
to pick for a given site.
Switch to scopelookupprefer(c.cur, c.curmod, nm), mirroring cstage
cmd/wcc/check.c:66 (scope_lookup_prefer at sym.c:103): when the
current module matches the bucket entry's b.mod, prefer it; else
fall back to first-found. The SK_USE→scopelookuptype fallback for
the #61 A.5 bare-TNAME-vs-imported-module collision case is
unchanged.
Six remaining bare-leaf scopelookup sites in this file (exprtype
N_IDENT, N_DOT-callee leaf, varianterr, scruttype, exprtypeoftry
N_IDENT + N_CALL, walker N_IDENT) are punted to #55 — this commit
fixes the path the reproducer surfaced and leaves the rest behind
an explicit follow-up so the byte-id corpus stays the test for
each conversion.
The node-keyed kind helpers (typeis8byteprimitive, isstrtype/raw,
isslicetype/raw, istaggedtype/raw, isfloattype, isf32type/raw,
isf64typeraw, isnullabletype) each re-walked TNAME aliases via
aliaslookup and peeled TBANG by hand — duplicating cstage's single-
peel kind predicates at the AST level. After A.6.2 every type-AST
kind these read is tinfo-stamped at check.ww L426-436, and
tinfofornode collapses N_TBANG (check.ww:1145-1152) and the TY_NAMED
chain, so each predicate folds to one tinfo read.
Six new tinfo helpers in lib/ww/typ.ww mirror their cstage SSoT
verbatim:
typeisstr — cstage cgen.c:159 `type_isstr` (TY_STR / TY_UNTYPED_STR)
typeisslice — cstage cgen.c:174 `type_isslice`
typeistagged — cstage cgen.c:516 `type_istagged`
typeisf32 — cstage cgen.c:188 `type_isf32`
typeisnullable — cstage cgen.c:396 `type_isnullable` (reads tinfo.nullable
stamped at check.ww:1309-1318)
typeis8byteprim — cstage cgen.c N_LET sz==8 ladder (slot-pad set)
Rule 9 carve-out per the A.6.3a precedent: each helper has a named
cstage counterpart; the wwstage shape mirrors it directly. The five
dead AST-walking variants (isstrtyperaw, isslicetyperaw,
istaggedtyperaw, isf32typeraw, isf64typeraw) are deleted; the five
remaining callsites (cgenstmt cglet / cgmlet str-routing, cgenexpr
cgdot tuple-field) graduate to the alias-aware isstrtype(c, t).
nullableptrtag stays AST-keyed for now — tinfofornode doesn't
populate TY_TAGGED.params (check.ww:1287-1337 sets size / align /
nullable but not the variant chain), so the tinfo equivalent of
cstage cgen.c:405 `nullable_ptr_tag` can't read params today. WHY
comment at the site cites #50 / A.6.3f as the graduation point,
alongside the variant-index work and the tparam-population glue.
Byte-identity (994/995) is the behavior gate; full `make test` green
