The unspecified tail of a short array literal repeated the last value
instead of zeroing — wwstage only (cstage already zeroes; the review's
both-stages reading didn't survive ground truth). Zero-fill the tail
per the zero-value semantics ruling. Review item #13.
The str-size arm of the global data emit was size-keyed and matched a
24-sized array, emitting a second DATAW for the same symbol. Gate on
the array kind (!isarr8). Review item #12.
nodefnptr matched bare idents by NAME against the fn table, so a
global var colliding with a fn leaf classified as a fn pointer —
wwstage silently built what cstage rejects at link (review finding
#14). Key on the stamped type; the #124 &mod.fn arm is preserved.
989_fnptrcollide_run pins both stages reject (red 1/2 pre-fix:
wwstage built rc=7).
A module-global tagged init via cast (`let g: u = true: u;`) silently
emitted tag=0; cstage louds. Route emittaggeddata through flatvariantidx
(the cstage cg_tag_for_variant twin) so an unsupported variant louds while
valid str/slice cast-inits still accept+run. test/wcc/838.
An empty zero-length array diverged cs!=ww in asm (both ran correct=7):
a [0]int global emitted a spurious DATAW main.X(SB),"", and a [0]int local
reserved a $16 frame slot. cstage emits neither. wwstage-only, byte-id-only.
The global DATAW emit is now gated on sz > 0 (skips the empty array).
The local frame: localreserve dropped its sub-8 floor (if asz<8 asz=8) to
mirror cstage's localslot formula (frame+sz+7)&~7 -- but that floor was
MASKING slotsize(TY_VOID)=0 (a void local), which cstage defaults to 8B;
removing the floor alone collided the zero-size void slot with a spilled
param (a real miscompile -- 1132 self-compile hunks). So letslotsize now
returns 8 for a void local, while empty-struct / [0]-array stay genuine 0.
The frame formula is byte-id-neutral for every sz>=1 local (round8 already
>= 8); only true zero-size cases change.
cstage unchanged (w6c md5 unchanged). byte-id 990-997 8/8 (the full
self-compile is what caught the void-local class); test/wcc/820 un-carves
the #9 empty-[0] byte-id exclusion + adds void-local/local-[0] rows.
let pi = 3.5; pi * 2.0 (an inferred-type float module-global) was silently
miscompiled by wwstage: untyped_float wasn't defaulted, so letemitsize
sized it 0 -> no DATAW emitted -> the pi load was dropped, X0 kept a stale
spill -> 2.0*2.0 = 4 not 7. cstage became correct via #150-B's sym-repoint
(stamps f64 -> MOVSD), so this aligns wwstage UP, byte-identical.
wwstage-only: cgen.ww defaultinferredlets gains the untyped_float->f64 arm
(mirrors the untyped_int->int arm; the codebase's own #135-deferred
carve-out at cgen.ww:1079-1082, unblocked now that #150-B killed the
rule-10 divergence it feared), and cgenexpr.ww cgident gets a letfloatprim
fallback (the same primitive-TNAME SSoT letemitsize already uses, since a
renamed primitive TNAME carries no tinfo stamp). cstage cgen unchanged
(w6c md5 unchanged). int-inferred globals stay integer.
byte-id 990-997 8/8. test/wcc/824 table-driven. The N_CAST-no-recurse
parity (check.c:1276) is filed separately (#19).
def C:[N]str; C[i] was loud (undefined main.C) both stages. Three folded
fixes, one commit (splitting would ship a bisect point where wwstage
silently returns an element address instead of .len):
P0: the str-array static-init emitter dropped its vestigial directive
=="DATAW" gate so a def table rides the same DATAW-header + DATAR-reloc
path as let. A def str/slice table lives in DATAW by w6a's A_DATAR-holder
constraint -- placement only; def immutability stays checker-enforced.
P1: let_pre_intern / letpreintern walked N_LET only, so a def str-array's
element string-literals were never interned (dangling _S_n). Extracted a
pre_intern_strarray SSoT helper, called for a def str-array arm too, both
stages. Scoped to str fixed arrays; def []T / def [N][]T stay loud (#270).
P2: wwstage cgenexpr lacked a defvartnode fallback in the indexed-element
classify, so a def str-array element load returned the element address
instead of the slice header -- a silent miscompile. One line, aligning
wwstage up to cstage (which was correct). C[1].len now = 3 both stages,
byte-identical.
byte-id 990-997 8/8; w6c/w6c_ww move. test/wcc/819 table-driven. The
def-global scalar str index sibling (def S:str; S[0]) stays task #14.
A let's own name was visible during its OWN initializer: cgen prepended the
new local into the name-keyed localfind chain BEFORE emitting the init, so
`let x = f(x)` read the fresh UNINIT slot, not the outer/param x. Both-wrong-
identical silent miscompile (gate-blind byte-id). Surfaced by path
dirname/basename (was the c3-posix path->p rename).
Align to Hare (harec check.c:1439 evals the init, then scope_insert). Fix,
both stages, IDENTICAL asm: reserve the frame slot BEFORE the init emits,
link the binding's name into the localfind chain only AFTER.
- cstage cgen.c: split localoff -> localslot(reserve)+link; N_LET's 12
case-level breaks -> goto letlink (tail links once); the inner-for break
is preserved; the 4 fatal() arms untouched.
- wwstage cgen.ww/cgenstmt.ww: new localreserve (= localalloc minus the
chain-link); cglet -> cgletbody(c,n,off) + a cglet wrapper that
reserves -> calls body -> links after.
Byte-id-safe on existing code: localfind is by-name, so deferring the link
is a no-op on every non-self-shadow let (grep = 0 self-shadow sites) — 990-997
stay green. Because both stages emit identical now-correct asm, byte-id
CANNOT catch this; the pin is a RUNTIME test, teeth-proven (revert -> pin
fails). test/wcc/989_letshadow{.ww,_run.c}: param-shadow, let-in-init shadow,
rename control, arrlit self-ref.
Embedded regen: selfhost/cmd/{w6c,wwdump}/main.combined.ww. Gate: all 325
passed, byte-id 990-997 green, w6c c587f4a1 / w6c_ww 7a69f898 (deterministic).
defaultinferredlets gained a single unary peel: an inferred module-global let s = -42 (untyped_int annotation over N_UN(+/-/~) of N_INTLIT) was wwstage SILENT — no DATAW, no MOVQ, MOVSXD on stale AX (exit 168 vs cstage 214). Peel one unary level to the int literal and default the annotation to the 8B machine word int, so the inferred decl is structurally the typed control and the existing typed-path emit/read fires (DATAW + MOVQ, byte-identical to cstage). ww-only align-up; cstage already correct on neg.
Float leg (N_FLOATLIT) carved to #135: cstage integer-types inferred float globals (MOVQ not MOVSD), so a ww-only f64 default would be cs != ww (rule-10) — needs the both-stage cstage-use-site fix. Nested unary - -42 is #136 (single-level peel). #133 (const-expr 7*6) and unary-over-nonident stay loud.
Pin: 947 neg rows (inferred + typed control), cs == ww .s byte-id.
An inferred-literal scalar module-global (`let s = 42;`) was wwstage
silent-wrong: the checker stamps the annotation N_TNAME("untyped_int"),
which letscalarprim does not recognise, so letemitsize returns 0 — the
global is dropped from collectlets (no DATA emitted) AND cgident falls to
the silent module-leaf (no load), running garbage. cstage defaults
untyped_int to an 8B int before emit (DATAW + MOVQ), which is correct.
Fix (wwstage-only, align up to cstage): defaultinferredlets in cgen.ww,
called from cgfile (cgendecl.ww) before collectlets, rewrites the
annotation "untyped_int" -> "int" (8B machine word, NOT i32 — the #108
truncation trap is the opposite polarity) for a module-level N_LET whose
rhs is N_INTLIT. All three consumers (letemitsize, emitletdataw, cgident
global-read) then resolve a concrete int. cstage is untouched.
Scope: N_INTLIT only. A const-expr inferred global (`let s = 7*6;`, N_BIN)
stays on its existing path — that is a separate live cs!=ww silent
miscompile tracked as #133, out of scope here.
Pin: 947_inferred_scalar_global_run — inferred `let s=42` (42, base
wwstage garbage) + typed control, cs==ww byte-id.
A cross-module `&module.fn` in a const emitted no static reloc (the
const was never defined -> w6l undefined-reference, both stages) and
wwstage's checker rejected the const fn-table. #117/#119 wired the
&fn->DATAR const-data reloc for SAME-module &fn only; charclass_map
(fold-6) needs cross-module (12x &ascii.isXXX).
cgen: add the N_DOT arm to the &fn->symbol helper (node_fnptr_sym /
nodefnptr + the two ww emit sites), emitting mafn(leaf, module-ident)
-- exactly the symbol a runtime &mod.fn or a direct cross-module call
already emits. The helper is the SSoT for both the scalar (#119) and
tuple-row (#117) const-data paths, so one arm closes both.
checker: type a cross-module `&mod.fn` as `*fn(...)` in the TK_AMP arm
(the N_DOT twin of #206's N_IDENT fn-ptr synthesis, gated on a resolved
SK_FN/N_FNDECL leaf), so isassignable affirmatively accepts the const
table -- aligning wwstage UP to cstage's actual acceptance reason
rather than by abdication. The SK_FN gate keeps a non-fn `&mod.var`
from synthesizing a fn type (the one pre-existing nonfn-scalar cs!=ww
slip is N_IDENT-base, untouched and reproduces same-module).
One consumer-coupled commit (the checker accept gates wwstage cgen, so
neither half is independently testable). Narrow: slice-row + scalar
only; fixed-array (#118) and struct-field (#129) stay separate. Both
stages emit the correct cross-module symbols at the right tuple-slot
offsets -> byte-identical (990-997 green). Pin 949_xmod_fnptr_const_run
(distinct fns so a wrong reloc is caught + the SK_FN-gate axis). This
was the last fold-6 cgen blocker; charclass_map is now unblocked.
A PLAIN (non-alias) module-level tagged-union global SEGV'd on BOTH
stages: no static DATA was emitted (let_emit_size/letemitsize returned 0
for TY_TAGGED) so the global was never registered, and the match
scrutinee resolved it as a frame-local at offset 0 — reading saved BP as
the tag. Two sub-sites, one route (neither half ships alone — DATA
without SB-resolution still SEGVs; SB-resolution without DATA reads
nothing):
(a) DATA-emitter — a non-nullable TY_TAGGED arm emits the box that
byte-MIRRORS a runtime LOCAL of the same type: tag word at +0 (the
const-selected variant index via cg_tag_for_variant / taggedvariant-
index), payload at +8, zero-padded to the union box size. int and
str/slice literal variants are wired (str carries a DATAR ptr patch
at +8); any other variant payload loud-stops (rule 7). emit_tagged_
data + emittaggeddata are the per-stage twins; let_pre_intern/
letpreintern gain the matching str-variant intern. Nullable stays 0
so the (*T|void) one-word fold keeps the 8B scalar arm.
(b) match-scrutinee global resolution — the PLAIN-tagged twin of #78:
a global tagged ident scrutinee LEAQs name(SB) and copies the box
into an @match_spill slot the dispatch indexes off BP.
DATA target (mirror of the local box, verified byte-for-byte): for
(i32|str)=42 the 32B box is tag0 | 42@8 | zero-pad; for ="x" it is
tag1 | ptr0@8(DATAR _S_n) | len@16 | cap@24. cs and ww emit byte-
identical asm.
Pins (rob §3, dual-stage 910 cstage + 997 wwstage, attest_pass.ww): the
tagged global-vs-local byte-identity pin (match over the GLOBAL gives the
same arm/value as over a LOCAL — was SEGV both stages) and the str-
variant tag-1 pin, plus the #86 tuple global-vs-local lock-pin guarding
the already-correct emitter path.
929 fail_global_src graduates: a >48B tagged GLOBAL by-value arg now
resolves through the cgplaceaddr MEMORY-class arm (LEAQ g(SB) + blit)
instead of the #38b loud-stop, and runs correctly (uninit zero box ->
first variant); the row becomes a positive run pin. The struct-variant
>48B init still loud-stops via the data emitter.
The first-class-VALUE copy of a tagged ident (`let q = g`) stays a
pre-existing silent #49/#46 sibling (local and global identically),
filed separately — out of this fold's two sub-sites.
A struct-literal array fill sized a narrow-alias element off a bare
primsize(name): `type my32 = u32` gave primsize("my32")=0, so the
element width defaulted to 8 and a [3]my32 strode MOVQ -24/-16/-8 —
field n collided with arr[2] (kw1_101 run exit 1). cstage chases
my32->u32->4 (MOVL stride-4) at the twin sites and is runtime-correct;
this is a ww-only align-up, cs untouched.
Fix: a new aliasprimsize(c, nm) SSoT helper — primsize(nm), else an
aliaslookup-chase N_TNAME loop then primsize — and route the SIZE-use
primsize() family through it. The 7 c-bearing bare-no-chase size-use
sites are routed: cgen:993 (letemitsize), cgenstmt:1896 (cgarrlitfillbp),
cgenutil:1579 (elemsizeofc fallback)/1657+1665 (nodeprimwidth)/4791
(cgstructlitfill = the kw1_101 site), cgenexpr:6902 (cgcall vararg esz).
This is the rule-13 close-by-construction shape (one accessor for
"resolved primitive size"), not a per-site patch.
kw1_101 is the SOLE asm mover (byte-id NO->YES, run 1->0, MOVL
stride-4); every other routed site is latent/byte-neutral. Bootstrap:
all 5 combined units stay w6c==w6c_ww byte-identical. sizelint 0,
peellint 0, test-unit 296/296.
Scope fence (rob route-7-decline-6 ruling): three DESIGNED-exemption
sites carry inline primsize-ok annotations — elemsizeof :1475/:1499 and
paramfieldsize :3541 are structural (no-`c`, non-chasing) BY DESIGN;
their alias-chasing twin elemsizeofc is the routed :1579 leg. These are
the #109 peellint-whitelist seeds. Three further declines are already
correct chasing paths, not bare-no-chase bug shapes (typenodeprimresolved
:2026 / exprprimresolved :2063 are the chase machinery itself; cgassign
:7631 already chases via typenodeprimresolved, #11). The ~17 GUARD sites
(is-primitive dispatch) + the peellint finale are the committed #109
follow-on. Threading `c` into the structural sizers is dormant #110.
#101
The `&D` addressability gate (defisaddressable, cgen.ww) keyed its
array leg on the UNCHASED syntactic dtnode (N_TARRAY) — a def whose
declared type is an ALIAS of an array missed the gate and fell to the
rule-7 loud error, but the gate was lying: the ww def-array DATA
emitter (emitdefconstants' array arm) already peels TY_NAMED off
d.lhs.type_ transitively, so the alias def HAS a DATA symbol
(probe-OBSERVED: `DATA main.D(SB)` emitted byte-id by both stages for
the &-less program). Gate-only fix — tichase(dtn.type_) == TY_ARRAY —
restores gate == emission set exactly; no emitter twin, no half-state.
The struct leg (defvarstructinfo) already chased; plain [N]T defs
agree under tnode and chased reads, so existing rows are
byte-id-neutral by construction. cstage gates TK_AMP on the
def_isarraydef registry fed by the g-fold-G1 chased let_isarray
(cgen.c:3975-3977, 1446) and runs every row 0 — align ww UP.
Pin: 944_alias_def_addr_run, 6 rows (plain + struct-def controls
hold 0/0; 1/2-level alias + fwd-ref decl order graduate ww-LOUD ->
0/0 byte-id; str-def &S error-path STAYS LOUD both stages with a
byte-identical diagnostic — the rule-7 tail text is compared w6c vs
w6c_ww, so a silent reject or a divergent message both fail the row).
def_l2's readback casts to the base array ptr: the natural (*p)[2]
spelling over a 2-LEVEL-alias pointee trips a SEPARATE pre-existing
CSTAGE double-deref (spurious MOVQ (AX),AX, SEGV; def-independent, ww
correct) — filed as task #93 (#85 type_unwrap kin, F2b OUT), not
fixed here (site-set form).
Light gates: test-unit 290 green; sizelint 0; 989 ratchet zero flips;
five-mains NEUTRAL vs master-74195ac scratch on identical inputs +
cs==ww on all five. combined.ww regens ride along (#110).
ww half of the #77+#78 fused g-fold train; completes the family. cs
half landed as the previous commit (G1) — the two ship together, one
gated train, per the fuse ruling on both tasks.
Root: the global DATA emit walk dispatched on the UNCHASED decl tnode —
a NO-PEEL consumer (zero `.under` tokens on the path; it never learned
aliases exist). An alias-typed global array's N_TNAME matched no arm
and the documented skip-policy ate the decl: w6c_ww referenced
main.g(SB) but emitted zero DATAW → loud `w6l: undefined reference to
main.g` on every direct alias-global array row (ken NEW-1, all k_gidx*
shapes). Every other kind was already chased (letvarisstr/isslice/
isfloat/isstruct walk aliaslookup chains; the tuple gate walks tnodes;
emitarraydata/emitslicedata chase tinfo internally; letemitsize walks —
registration was never the gap), probe-confirmed: only array rows
failed ww-side.
Fix: ONE tichase at the dispatch entry, per the spec's entry-point rule
— not per-arm. Dispatch arms touched (enumerated):
emitletdataw (cgen.ww): hoisted `dti = tichase(d.lhs.type_)` at the
per-decl entry; the isarr8 scalar-shortcut gate and the array arm
now key on dti.kind == TY_ARRAY (were d.lhs.kind == N_TARRAY) and
emitarraydata receives dti; the struct zero-fill arm's inline
TY_NAMED loop collapses into the same dti (ef93b16 precedent,
byte-neutral). str/float/struct/slice/tuple gates unchanged.
letpreintern (cgen.ww): the #18 [N]str array-leg gate keyed on the
N_TARRAY tnode while its body already chased the tinfo — gate now
keys on the chased kind, so alias-typed [N]str globals pre-intern
their _S_ labels in decl order (label-order parity with cstage;
the inner elem chase collapses into tichase).
For non-alias decls tichase is identity (same tinfo pointer) — the
emitted bytes are unchanged by construction; full byte-id invariant
holds (test-unit 288/288 incl. the new table).
main.combined.ww (w6c + wwdump) regenerated by `make` — diff verified
content-identical to the cgen.ww hunks, nothing else.
Graduation table committed as test/wcc/944_alias_global_decl_run.c —
23 rows x {cs run, ww run, byte-id} = 69 checks green. This table IS
the permanent guard: the path is lint-invisible (NO-PEEL — nothing for
the future peellint to see), so only a runtime+byte-id row pins it.
Rows: plain control; alias array 1-lvl read/write/decl-order; 2-lvl
read + order-permuted write (the #78 silent saved-BP rows); [4]u32
narrow-esz; scalar/str/f64/f32 2-lvl; alias-of-named-struct field w/r
(the cs SEGV-at-one-user-level row) + 3-layer + STRUCTLIT init; slice
2-lvl literal; [2]str 1-lvl/2-lvl (letpreintern label leg); def-side
2-lvl array/struct/float; no-regression holds (alias global SLICE,
alias ELEMENT [2]row). Values >255, LAST element asserted.
Probe-OUT rows documented in the test header, filed not pinned: #86
(named-tuple global init: cs checker loud-reject vs ww accept), #87
(plain tagged global: cs silent-wrong vs ww loud-reject, non-alias).
slot = roundup8(size(elem)) — 8B is a FLOOR, not a ceiling (user-
ratified 2026-06-04; the #237 fieldslotsize precedent; (str,str)=48B
predates this — tagged was the one truncated >8B kind). Pre-fix the
checkers truncated a tagged element to one 8B slot and every cgen
transport walk strode wide=(STR||SLICE)-else-8: cstage read the
NEIGHBOR slot, wwstage read ZEROS — both-wrong-differently, so the
byte-id gates were blind (prober-9 PG1, /tmp/p9).
One stride accessor per stage — tuple_eslot (cgen.c) / tupeslot
(cgenstmt.ww) — now feeds every tuple walk; the per-site predicates
are deleted as absorbed. Sizer: check.c N_TTUPLE + check.ww
tupleelemslot gain the TY_TAGGED arm (astsize already rides the type
table since commit 0). Routes flipped to the accessor, both stages
symmetric: cursor producers (lit/slot-to-cursor; tagged ident
elements load their box from the slot — cgexpr's tagged ident load
is word0-only), let-receive (tuple_store/tupstore generalized to
eslot/8 words), N_RETURN send, by-value param receive, arg
restage/drain (tagged stays loud per C-t2), destructure
(MLET/MASSIGN, ident + sret + in-cap), t.N read + len(t.N) +
global-g.N offset walks (t.N gains the tagged box load: AX=tag,
DX/CX/R8=payload — the is/as spill cursor), sret classifier, DATA
emit. wwstage cgtagvariantidx gains the #67 stamped-carrier arm
(flatvariantidxt on .type_) — its AST-only key silently clamped
't.0 is size' to tag 0; fused here because the tuple-element read
this commit wires is its only exercisable consumer.
Exit invariant: zero silent tagged-tuple paths — in-cap shapes
(<=4 GP eightbytes) are correct end-to-end; everything else is LOUD:
over-cap sret return (#22b, task #28), call-arg (C-t2 #32),
non-local literal element sources (#22b/#23), tuple-in-union payload
(#242/#22b), global static-init, element write (pre-existing).
Closure proof-grep at HEAD: 'tuple_ebytes|tupebytes' -> 0 hits;
'wide.*=.*(TY_SLICE|TY_STR)' tuple-walk survivors are all behind
tagged loud-guards (cgen.c:2535/2568/12013 widen-store + over-cap
send; cgenutil.ww:3527 twin).
Latent cross-checks closed by the accessor: wwstage MLET-sret strode
esz (4 for i32) vs cstage 8; wwstage param-receive strode slotsize
(composite slotsize) vs cstage 8; both now the accessor's floor-8.
Tagged inits in pins use the CAST form (5: size) — the bare
untyped-int widen-store mis-tag is pre-existing at master and filed
(task #33).
941 gains 13 rows: t22_* size/align folds (+ void-elem 0-slot pin),
the full runtime round-trip (read, is/as, both element orders, void
variant, destructure, literal-let), two-tagged-elem in-cap and
float+tagged in BOTH orders (ken k1/k2 regression-pinned as rows),
t.N-as-call-arg, 5 loud pins (arg, over-cap return, call-source
element, global init, element write), and the sret_narrow_mix_*
triple below. Runtime rows exit-checked under both drivers +
byte-id. 129/129; unit tests green; sizelint clean.
ken R1 (re-validation fix): an OVER-CAP tuple init whose rhs is not a
CALL fell past every cstage N_LET store arm to NOTHING — silent
uninitialized-frame reads — while wwstage loud-rejected the same
shape. Pre-existing for (str,str) literals; the #22a tagged slots
routed >16B-box tagged shapes into it (k5b/k5c/k5d, base-correct
because base truncated them in-cap). cstage now routes the rhs
through cgexpr (the cursor materialisers carry the exact wwstage
loud texts) with a trailing fatal as the net; 941 pins both the
tagged and the (str,str) spellings of the hole.
reviewer-22 (review fixes, folded): the MLET-receive slot flip above
landed ALONE on the wwstage over-cap sret family — the ww RETURN-send
and MASSIGN-receive still strode packed esz (4 for u32), so
`let (a,b,c) = f()` over (str,u32,str) read c at slot offset 32 while
ww's send wrote it packed at 28: a ww runtime REGRESSION vs base
(base was packed-consistent on both sides — ran right, byte-diff).
Both walks now stride the slot (send mirrors cstage's
`wide ? esz : 8`; MASSIGN strides tupeslotn) — closing, in the same
stroke, the pre-existing base skews: ww `let t = f()` over-cap
narrow-mix read (reader slot-laid vs send packed, runtime-wrong at
base) and the cs≠ww asm on all three routings. Second find: t.N
tagged element as a CALL ARG — cstage rides its generic
node_istaggedarg cursor push, but wwstage's kind-gated aistagged
missed N_DOT and mis-routed the box into the widening branch
(taggedvariantindex -1 clamped to 0: callee read variant 0, silent,
ww-only). cgenutil.ww gains the N_DOT arm (aistagged + pushargsrev),
the #67 stamped-carrier twin of the N_INDEX (#12) arm. The N_DOT arm
was a LIVE wwstage stdlib miscompile: hextest's import graph carried
two t.N tagged-arg sites (base .s diff = exactly the clamped-tag
PUSHQ pair) — the 989 lib-byteid ratchet caught the convergence and
#59.4 graduates to M_ID (runtime-correct per 979_hex_run). Probes:
/tmp/r22. Residual filed: tagged arg from deref/cast/unwrap sources
is a word0-only read on BOTH stages (pre-existing, base-confirmed) —
generalizing wwstage's kind gate to cstage's type-keyed check rides
that task.
Global tuple lets were WHOLLY unwired, silently: let_emit_size returned
0 so emit_lets SKIPPED the definition (no DATA, no diagnostic), then
cstage's t.N read and #235 len arm read BP-frame garbage (localfind→0)
while wwstage — with the tuple never in collectlets — mis-emitted the
field index as a symbol (`MOVQ 0(SB), AX`). ken's #48 was the len()
facet of this.
Now: let_emit_size/letemitsize admit TY_TUPLE (slot-sum size, rides
C-t0); emit_tuple_data/emittupledata lay the slot-format DATAW row —
a scalar element one 8B LE word, a str element its 24B header slot
with a DATAR ptr patch at the element's slot offset (the #18 [N]str
per-element pattern; strlits pre-interned in element order) — and any
element that doesn't reduce to an int/str literal dies LOUD instead
of skipped. The t.N read and len arms gain the global base (LEAQ
sym(SB) into CX, the struct-field-global pattern; wwstage's C5 len
loud-stop graduates to the working path). A GLOBAL tuple as a
first-class VALUE (`let q = g;`) loud-stops on both stages — pre-fix
it byte-identically loaded word0 only and read a stale cursor for
words 1+ (element reads are the supported surface).
941 grows the t3 rows: global element reads (str+i64 and packed
u32,u32 incl. len(g.0)) + rejects (float-element init, whole-value
use, pre-existing element-write anchor). 7/82 checks fail at the
C-t2 parent (cs silent-garbage runtime, ww C5 build-fail, both
rejects vacuous-or-absent).
The header still cited cstage's retired cg_tagscr single cache and
listed the scratch by its pre-#44 name; the grow-fatal mechanism doc
stays (it still guards @retscr et al.) with a pointer to how #44
sidesteps it for the tagged scratch.
A fn mixing two tagged slot sizes smaller-first (regex compile(): 56B
append-element widen then 64B sret return) hit the #15/#26c rule-7
grow-fatal — the single shared per-fn @tagscr is first-use-sized and
its pinned offset can't grow. Key the scratch by slot size instead:
@tagscr<sz>, one first-use-allocated slot per distinct size, all three
sites (widen-store via_outer, widen-push, N_INDEX tagged-element
assign) funnelled through cg_tagscr_slot / tagscradd in both stages.
Single-size fns emit byte-identical asm to pre-fix (control row pinned
+ hand-cmp'd vs master w6c). 736's tagscr_size_grow_fatal fixture
pinned the now-unreachable fatal; converted to a byte-id succ row.
Runtime rows live in 926_tagscr_sizes_run.
`let g: []T = [v0, v1, …];` at module scope had no cgen arm: emit_lets /
emitletdataw handled str-lit and array-lit but not slice-lit, so NO
`DATAW main.g` was emitted and BOTH stages failed to link ("undefined
reference to main.g"). byte-id-blind — only the link step exposed it.
emit_slice_data / emitslicedata (parallel to the #18 str-array reloc
helper, generalized to a 24B header + array-backed data):
1. writable backing DATAW "<mangled g>.d" holding the k element bytes,
routed through the emit_array_lit_bytes / emitarraylitbytes choke-
point via a synthesized [k]T (int/float element kinds reduce exactly
as a [N]T global's do);
2. 24B header { ptr-placeholder, LE len, LE cap } (len = cap = k), word
sizes from the type table (ty_uintptr/ty_size, primtypesize) per
rule-13;
3. DATAR g+0 -> backing patches the ptr word.
The backing label's second '.' can't collide with a user global (source
identifiers carry no '.').
New emit_lets / slice arm gated on N_ARRLIT + slice-typed; rides on #18,
which keeps the module-level initializer as N_ARRLIT in both stages.
Aliased-slice spelling (`type S = []T; let g: S = [...]`): cstage
let_isslice already resolves the alias via type_unwrap, but wwstage
letvarisslice keyed only on the syntactic N_TSLICE node — unlike its
siblings letvarisstr/letvarisstruct/letvarisfloat, which all walk the
N_TNAME alias chain. So an aliased-slice global misrouted to the str arm
and never reached emitslicedata, link-failing on wwstage while cstage
emitted correctly (a cs≠ww divergence this fix would otherwise introduce).
letvarisslice now walks the alias chain exactly as letvarisstr does
(align wwstage UP to runtime-correct cstage, the #211 pattern); an alias
of a slice IS a slice. emitslicedata gains the nil/non-slice guard cstage
emit_slice_data already had (rule-10 symmetry; unreachable behind the
gate, guards the su.sub deref).
rule-7 loud-stops, symmetric both stages: read-only `def` slice-literal
(DATAR holder must be DATAW, w6a asm.c:362), `...` repeat (a slice
literal has no target length), and slice-of-{str,slice,tagged} elements
(per-element relocs / #17) — never silent no-emit.
Deferred (filed): struct-element module-level slice-literal surfaces a
separate checker cs!=ww ("let: not assignable" on wwstage, wrong runtime
on cstage) — out of #10's data-emission scope.
Test 687 (table-driven): []u8/[]i64/[]i32 element read-back + len + cap +
1-element edge + aliased-slice-type, dual-stage runtime + asm byte-id,
plus 3 build-fail rows for the loud-stops. selfhost combined.ww
regenerated.
Post-#1, size(str) == size(slice) == 24. emitletdataw's str arm
(~cgen.ww:2074) and slice arm (~cgen.ww:2139) were sequential `if`s
gated on SIZE alone, so a bare 24-byte global matched BOTH and BOTH
fired the no-rhs zero fallback — two `DATAW main.g` rows. cstage
discriminates on type kind (let_isstr/let_isslice, cgen.c:1026/1036)
and emits one; the link+run is correct either way, so the divergence
was byte-id-visible only.
Gate the two arms on the declared type kind via the new letdeclkind
helper (d.lhs.type_, TY_NAMED-peeled — the resolvewalk-stamped
type-expression node), mutually exclusive: a 24B global now hits one
arm. Falls to the str arm when unstamped, where the zero-init bytes are
identical, so byte-id holds for that case too.
cstage already correct — no change. New test 686 (5 runtime rows + 5
byte-id rows) pins single-emit + cs==ww.
A module-level `let xs: [N]str = ["a","b",...];` static init emitted no
.data: a str element carries a ptr->rodata relocation, not just bytes, so
it fell through the byte-only array-emit path and left the table symbol
undefined (w6l: undefined reference). Shared gap on both stages, not
rule-10.
emit_strarray_data / emitstrarraydata apply the scalar-str-global pattern
per element at offset idx*esz: a DATAW row of {0-ptr placeholder, LE len,
cap} plus a per-element DATAR sym+idx*esz,_S_n reloc. let_pre_intern /
letpreintern pre-intern each element strlit so the _S_ rodata rows precede
the DATAR references. Stride routes through etype->size (rule 13). Scoped
to the DATAW (`let`) directive: A_DATAR requires a DATAW holder, so
`def [N]str` and str-in-aggregate stay a filed follow-up.
919_strarray_static_run pins runtime (len-sum, element .ptr deref, var
index, empty slot, repeat suffix) + cs==ww byte-id. w6c + wwdump
combined.ww regenerated.
The open-coded len-guard + byte-by-byte equality loop in localfind is
exactly strings.compare(ln, name) == 0 (==0 demands equal length AND
equal bytes; no prefix false-match). Matches cstage cgen.c:1669
strcmp(l->name, name) == 0. The @-fallback streq + localfindnode streq
calls are shared-helper calls, left for the wholesale swap (#17).
Regenerated w6c + wwdump combined.ww (the only amalgamations embedding
cgen.ww's localfind).
wwstage conflated SLOT-size (round-to-8, for frame) with ABI-size (true)
for a nested value-struct. A nested value-struct field is sized via
fieldsize() (TY_STRUCT -> ti.slotsize = 8), poisoning structabisize and
registerstruct si.totsize to 8 for a struct whose true ABI size is 4.
Two emission sites then over-sized, both SILENT cs!=ww divergences:
D1 (local, cgenstmt.ww cglet): zsz = structabisize = 8 hit the
`zsz == 8` zero arm (#213) -> a stray `MOVQ $0, off(BP)` cstage
never emits (ABI 4 is sub-8 -> left uninit per the shared no-rhs
zero-init policy).
D2 (global, cgen.ww emitletdataw): the struct zero arm wrote
letemitsize/si.totsize = 8 DATAW bytes; cstage cg_let_emit_size
returns u->size = 4.
Fix sources the zero-init extent from the type table's tinfo.size
(peeling TY_NAMED) at both sites — the same value cstage reads
(cgen.c:8397 / :978). fieldsize / registerstruct / frame slot-padding
stay UNTOUCHED: moving the fix into the size helpers would shift
nested-struct field offsets and re-diverge other byte-id. Pure
wwstage-align-down; cstage cmd/w6c/cgen.c unchanged.
Test 949_valstruct_subsize_run: D1 local + D2 global over ABI sizes
1/2/4 (the whole sub-8 / non-8-multiple class), each cstage-run +
cs==ww .s byte-id; plus a >8 (16B) local+global NEGATIVE control
proving the fix didn't disable legitimate multi-word zero-init.
Regen w6c + wwdump main.combined.ww (cgen is compiler-imported, #110).
A tuple return whose SysV register-return footprint exceeds the caps
(> 4 integer eightbytes or > 2 SSE eightbytes) previously LOUD-STOPPED
at the N_RETURN SEND. Fold A makes the CALLEE emit such a return through
the existing >24B-struct sret skeleton:
- classifier (cg_sret_retsize / sretretsize) grows a TY_TUPLE arm:
walk the element footprint over the SAME caps the SEND uses, and
return the tuple's natural total size (type table) when over-cap,
else 0. The gp/sse caps are factored to a single shared SSoT
(TUPLE_GPCAP / TUPLE_SSECAP — cgen.c macros in cstage, cgen.ww defs
in wwstage) consumed by the classifier AND every emit/receive site
(the SEND, the destructure guards, the cgcall arg guard) — so
classify and emit can't disagree in either stage.
- the SEND replaces the loud-stop with a write-through: cgexpr each
element, store it through *(@sretarg) at its packed layout offset
(the t.0/t.1 positional layout), each at its natural width so a
narrow tail stores MOVL/MOVB not an over-MOVQ (#169); the dest base
reloads into DX each step since a wide element clobbers AX/BX/CX.
Then the existing struct-sret epilogue (MOVQ @sretarg->AX; ret).
- the prologue already wires @sretarg when the classifier is nonzero.
The CALL/receive side is deliberately untouched: the N_MLET/N_MASSIGN
destructure loud-stops stay, so an over-cap tuple return is not yet
usefully callable. The end-to-end round-trip arrives with Fold B (#10-B).
Symmetric cstage (cmd/w6c/cgen.c) + wwstage (cgen.ww / cgenstmt.ww /
cgenutil.ww); combined.ww amalgams regenerated. Test 798 asserts the
callee now COMPILES (no loud-stop) and w6c vs w6c_ww .s byte-identical
across all-wide, str, narrow-tail, and float-over-cap shapes; no runtime
row (uncallable until Fold B). All 236 pass incl. 990-997 byte-id.
A bare cross-module value-global load mis-qualified its symbol: cgen
mangled it with curmod via a non-preferring leaf lookup, so an exported
`let v` in module aa emitted both its DATA storage AND its bare-load as
main.v, colliding with main's private v. aa.getv() returned 99, not 7.
Functions were already correct (they thread a cur_mod hint via mafn /
emitfnname); value-globals did not. Both stages emitted IDENTICAL wrong
asm, so the byte-id gate was blind to it; combined.ww (frontend) is clean
-- the bug is purely in cgen. This is the cgen residual of #55 (#1 cgen
value-global module-qualifier).
Fix, symmetric in cmd/w6c/cgen.c + selfhost/cmd/wcc/{cgen,cgenexpr}.ww:
reference-site mangle uses the resolved module (curmod-prefer for bare
idents); definition/DATA-site mangle uses the decl's own module
(d->module / d.nmod) -- threaded per-site the way fns already do, via
mahint / emitsymnamehint. The fn-mangle path is left byte-for-byte
untouched.
Deviation from the signed-off spec (ratified by rob-pike after this
finding): the spec prescribed reusing the fn lookup (mod_mangle_fn /
modlookupforfn), but its first-match fallback mis-fires for value-
globals -- mod_collect export-skips exported non-fn decls (cgen.c:1059)
to keep their bare-name data ABI, so an exported leaf is absent from the
module map and the fallback grabs another module's same-leaf private
global. The value path therefore uses a distinct exact-(name,module)-or-
bare lookup (mod_lookup_value / modlookupvalue): mangle only on an exact
match, else stay bare. Byte-id-neutral on all existing single-owner code;
exported globals stay bare (ABI preserved), private stay module-qualified.
Honest boundary (rule 7): if two modules BOTH export the same value leaf,
both stay bare and the linker sees a duplicate symbol -- a correct, loud,
link-time ABI clash (like C), NOT a silent miscompile; left to the
linker, not papered over with a cgen heuristic.
Test: test/wcc/795_xmod_valglobal_run.c -- runtime (the exported global
read returns its own value, not the colliding private one) + cs==ww
byte-id, across i32-let / def-const / f64-let. Sibling to the checker
test 794_xmod_ident_prefer, which deliberately omitted byte-id because
this cgen bug diverged the asm independently.
wwstage named variadic-gather slots with mkvarargname off a separate
varargseq counter, never bumping the shared labelseq that names match
labels. cstage names them via mklabel (cmd/w6c/cgen.c:5427,5431), which
advances labelseq twice per gather. So by the time main.main reached its
`match (wr)`, wwstage's match-label counter ran two behind cstage's
(_4/_5/_6 vs _6/_7/_8) — a pure label-numbering divergence that kept fmt
cs/ww byte-id failing.
Drop varargseq and the mkvarargname helper; call the existing mklabel
for the two gather slots, matching cstage's order (vararg_d only when
nvar>0, vararg_sl always). The slot names are locals-table keys only —
they resolve to BP offsets and never reach the asm — so only the
labelseq advance is observable, which is exactly what realigns the
downstream match labels. cstage untouched (align wwstage up).
This was the match-label half of fmt's divergence; with the earlier
compound-assign fix it completes fmt byte-identity. Graduate
777/780/781 to STAGE_CS|STAGE_WW with byte_id, and drop the now-stale
(void)asm_byte_identical guard in 777.
The Option-C parallel _v vstream API was scaffolding to bring the io stack up alongside the old surface; carrying both permanently is a rule-9 divergence from ref/hare, which has exactly one io surface. Collapse onto that surface (stream = *vtable, ref/hare/io/stream.ha) and rename the _v symbols to their Hare names (io vstream->stream, fmt vfprint->fprint, bufio/memio/log surfaces, log.new). Deletes the 4 lib/*/vstream.ww scaffold files; regenerates w6c/wwdump combined.ww. cstage and wwstage stay byte-identical and combined_ww_fresh holds; all 220 tests pass.
The wwstage cgdot #191 alias-peel loop broke on a name-keyed any-module
structlookup, so a receiver whose alias name collides with a struct of the
same name in ANOTHER module resolved to the foreign struct and fell through to
an undefined `name(SB)` global instead of the field load. The eFinal FLIP
renames io's `vstream` -> `stream`, which collides with memio's `stream`
struct, so io.read/io.write/io.close's `match (s.reader)` emitted
`MOVQ reader(SB), AX` (reader is also a type-alias) -> cs != ww (cstage chases
the nominal TY_NAMED.under pointer chain, module-correct). Gate-blind: on
master both stages emit the same wrong store so byte-id stays green; the FLIP
corpus is the first to put the io-alias/memio-struct collision in one build.
Fix (wwstage-only align-down; cstage is the authority and is untouched): make
the peel's struct-break MODULE-AWARE — break only on a same-module struct (a
genuine struct-value receiver); a same-module alias keeps peeling to its
underlying (io.stream -> *vtable -> the pointer field-load arm); a foreign leaf
keeps the prior any-module heuristic. New structsamemod / aliassamemod mirror
the same-module-first pass already in structlookup / aliaslookup. This is not a
naive alias-first reorder (which would reintroduce the mirror collision: a
same-module struct plus a foreign same-leaf alias). Peel-only — the direct-
struct arm's broader cross-module same-leaf-STRUCT name-keying is filed as #224.
#208-family (name-keyed resolution dropping to a wrong global) but in cgen, not
the checker; #213 is distinct (cosmetic local-struct-match divergence).
test/wcc/784_xmod_alias_struct_collide_run: collision (cross-module alias-vs-
struct, same leaf), symmetric (guards the same-module-struct break against a
naive reorder), and a no-collision control — branched callee. The discriminating
net is cs.s == ww.s (the path is gate-blind and cstage is correct, so byte-id
flips when wwstage is fixed); confirmed by source-revert. The FLIP's combined.ww
is now cs.s == ww.s byte-identical.
Assigning a >24B by-value struct-return into a GLOBAL lvalue dropped the
struct body: the sret dest was routed to a BP scratch temp and only the
8-byte return pointer was stored (`MOVQ AX, g(SB)`); the callee wrote the full
struct to the scratch, which never reached the global. A BP-relative dest
offset cannot name a global symbol. Pre-existing GATE-BLIND silent miscompile
— both stages emit the same broken store, so byte-id (990-997) stays green
while runtime is wrong — latent until the eFinal io surface put a global
`cgoutstream: memio.stream` (>24B) on the path, where it made cgen.ww's
self-built w6c_ww buffer every function body into a corrupt global (pos stayed
0) and emit prologue-only output.
Fix, both stages, byte-identical: route the sret dest pointer to the global
symbol so the callee writes the full struct through RDI straight into the
global. cstage adds cg_sret_dest_sym, mirroring the existing str/slice global
arm (skip the @sretscr scratch, emit `LEAQ masym(sym), DI`). wwstage carries
the lhs IDENT node (sretdestnode) and emits `LEAQ name(SB), DI` via emitsymname
— identical to cstage's symbol mangling, verified cs.s==ww.s on the probe and
across 990-997. #211-family (by-value struct + global/pointer), but a distinct
site: the cstage assignment-store into a global, not the wwstage call-return.
N_LET-global static-init (`let g: T = mk()` at top level) is a separate,
independently-broken path (#221) — link-fails for init-via-call, returns 0 for
constant init — not the sret-receive gap and not on the eFinal path; deferred.
test/wcc/940_global_sret_run: global assign (plus a branched callee to defeat
const-fold), through-pointer mutation (the io vtable-callback shape that
surfaced this), and local-init/assign regressions — runtime asserts on both
stages (the net, since byte-id is gate-blind here) plus cs.s==ww.s.
Discrimination confirmed by revert+rebuild: with the global arm disabled,
global_assign emits the truncated store and exits 1.
wwstage exprtype's N_CALL arm fell into a global-leaf scopelookup for an
N_DOT callee with a value or chained receiver, binding whatever same-named
global headed the scope bucket. Under a late-os combined.ww concat order
this resolved io's `s.read(...)` to os.read (i64) instead of the field's
fn type, so checkretassign confidently rejected a valid tagged return — an
import-order-sensitive false positive. cstage resolves a call result solely
from the callee expr's own type (check.c:1378-1433, mirroring harec
check_autodereference 1566-1581); drop the global-leaf else-arm so value
and chained receivers fall through to the existing fn-VALUE path at
check.ww:2455. SK_USE module-qualified calls are unchanged.
ww has no methods, so `value.leaf()` is only ever a fn-ptr field access; the
global hit was never legitimate. Zero .s delta across all 5 bootstrap tools
(the branch is dead in the bootstrap); test 776 graduates to both stages
(os-late order, byte-identical).
The fix unmasks a pre-existing wwstage cgen bug (#211): cgen also re-derives
a call's return shape by name (fnretlookup), so a value-receiver field call
whose leaf collides with a same-named global of a different register shape
mis-resolves cs!=ww. Documented at the cgen site; pinned cstage-only by
test/wcc/782 (graduates to STAGE_WW on #211 close).
Close A.3's deferred shape-14 (nested array). (a) emit_array_lit_bytes
gains a TY_ARRAY-element arm (mechanical clone of the TY_STRUCT-element
arm — recurses; esz=etype->size, rule-13; ...-nested loud-reject). (b)
double-index read tbl[i][j]: when the indexed element is TY_ARRAY, leave
the sub-array ADDRESS in AX instead of dereferencing (sister of #135's
N_DOT-base fix, on the N_INDEX path) — new elemisarrayc/tinfoisarray
helpers, both stages. Storage + read = one 2D-end-to-end concern (A.2/A.3
storage+LOAD precedent).
Unblocks strconv fold-4's powers_of_ten[596][2]u64 (direct double-index
access). Bootstrap-NEUTRAL (new arms gate on TY_ARRAY-element; 1D
consumers byte-identical, 990-997 green). Test 919 +2D rows + 3D +
...-nested-reject. Deferred siblings: #155 (sub-array bind / whole-
aggregate copy), #160 (global-struct-field index base).
Extract emit_array_data + emit_array_lit_bytes helpers (both stages,
mirrored) for module-level let/def with N_ARRLIT initializer or no-rhs
zero-init. Two-pass validate-then-emit: validate pass walks elements
and fails atomically on any non-foldable element (no partial-byte
emit on failure); emit pass writes element bytes after success.
Element-kind dispatch: integer via fold_int_literal byte-for-byte
preserved from pre-A.3 inline arm (bootstrap NEUTRAL — 6 live consumers
in lib/os/bufio/strings/encoding-utf8/strconv-stof_data), float via
inline bitcast + sign-XOR byte-loop (A.1 shape, no INT64_MIN — sibling
#144), struct via recursion into emit_struct_lit_bytes (A.2 helper).
Out-of-scope element kinds (ptr-elem, nested-array) rule-7 fatal.
emit_struct_lit_bytes gains TY_ARRAY field arm calling emit_array_lit_
bytes recursively — closes A.2 parked shape-15 (array-in-struct
`def D: dt = dt{tag=42, buf=[1u8,2u8,3u8,4u8]};`).
LOAD-side widened symmetric to A.2 precedent: cstage cgindex N_INDEX
direct-ident isglobal gate widened via new DefArray registry
(def_isarraydef populated in let_collect parallel to DefStruct);
wwstage cgindex N_INDEX falls through to defvartnode on letvartnode nil
(reads defent.dtnode field added in A.2). Both stages materialise
array-def via LEAQ name(SB) same as array-let.
Mid-impl rule-7 stop: refactor initially routed only rhs==N_ARRLIT
through emitarraydata, leaving nil-rhs zero-init arrays (e.g.
`let f64tos_buf: [64]u8;` in lib/strconv) silently SKIPPED → undef-ref
at link of wwstage-rebuilt selfhost binaries. Caught on first gate run
via bootstrap 994/995 RED. Fixed by adding nil-rhs branch to
emitarraydata (zero-fills arrt.size bytes) + widening wwstage caller
to route both N_ARRLIT and nil through helper. Same-class-lower-stratum
pattern (recurring across A.1 N_UN-peel, A.2 sz==8-short-circuit, A.3
nil-rhs-drop); banked as feedback memory.

wwstage cgen.ww emitdefconstants now uses the same emitsymname
mangler that LOAD/CALL sites use, replacing 8 lines of duplicate
`d.exported`/`d.nmod` logic. Rule-12 sea-of-stars consolidation —
one path, not two parallel paths that can desynchronise.
Cstage twin: cmd/w6c/cgen.c:8510 (mod_mangle in emit_defs). Bootstrap-
neutral post-90d31c5 (the duplicate PATH_MAX def that motivated the
divergence was cleaned up in drew's source-hygiene fold); all 5 tool
combined.ww emit cs==ww byte-identical asm post-fix. New test 913
(4 rows: exported i64 def, main-local i64 def, u64 width, multi-def
sequence) pins the simple-shape invariant forward — a future caller
introducing a colliding name produces the same symbol from both
stages by construction.
Drew's (a) ruling. Reviewer-127 noted the new path additionally
consults FFI (ffiresolve) which the old d.exported/d.nmod block did
not — incidental improvement to cs/ww symmetry beyond the mod-mangle
consolidation.
Resolve `size` -> TY_SIZE at the type-name resolver (C lookup_builtin /
ww tinfofornode's N_TNAME chain), mirroring uintptr, both stages. This
makes `size` writable as a type (`let x: size`, struct field, etc.),
the prerequisite for lib/types SIZE_MAX.
Twins every NAME-keyed uintptr arm in the wwstage so it behaves like
the cstage's kind-keyed Type switches (already TY_SIZE-aware from
fold-1): primtypesize + astalign (8B/8-align), primsize + letscalarprim
(8B scalar slot), isinttypeast + isnumerictname (int/numeric). rule-10
symmetric; dead on the size-free selfhost corpus so 990-997 stay byte-id.
Coexists with the size(T) size-of operator (separate c.top SK_FN seed +
N_CALL fold, NOT a type path) and `.size` field access (N_DOT); neither
touched. No c.top SK_TYPE "size" seed (would collide with the operator
seed at check.ww:96). Regenerates w6c/wwdump combined.ww (checker
embedded). New probe 957_size_type_run exercises type-position `size`
and the operator in one scope.
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.
Phase 0 last β-shape site. Two concerns in one commit because the
refactor surfaced the rename:
- selfhost/cmd/wcc/cgen.ww cgout buffer (cgoutbuf/cap/len + arena +
cgout_grow + CGOUT_INIT_CAP) → memio.state + io.stream behind a
one-shot lazy-init guard. cgout_enable drops its *arena param;
memio.reset in cgout_flush keeps the buffer sticky across fns so
the arena's amortisation survives — re-init per fn would abandon
the buffer and re-grow from 0 via the 8→…→65536 ladder for every
function (no io.close path → no os.free).
- lib/memio/memio.ww private fn grow → dynamicgrow. Symmetric with
dynamicwrite / dynamicclose; required because cstage bundles all
imported modules into a flat TU and resolves private fns by
unqualified name, so the new `import memio;` in wcc's bundle
collided with selfhost/cmd/wcc/mem.ww's arena `grow`. Module-aware
private-fn scoping in cstage is task #9.
@test fn dynamicgrow in memiotest.ww (same package as memio.ww)
renamed to dynamicgrowcases to free the name; new suffix mirrors the
file's existing fixedwritecases / borrowedreadcases convention.
Lazy-init guard cgoutinit. memio.dynamic runs once on first
cgout_enable; subsequent enables just set cgoutmode. Mirrors
lib/log/log.ww:124 ensureinit. Without it, ~14 mmap syscalls per fn
and ~100 MiB+ cumulative leak on a typical bootstrap.
io.write bare discard in emitbytes mirrors lib/log/log.ww:169 —
memio.dynamicwrite never returns io.closed (memio.ww:166).
Verified 132/132 incl. 995_self_rebuild byte-identity.
Phase 0 #9. cgen struct fields loopendbuf/loopcontbuf/yieldbuf/
deferbuf change from `*str`/`**node` over-allocated arena chunks
to `[]str`/`[]*node` slices. The 4 alloc sites in cgeninit drop
the byte-count form (`LOOP_MAX*24u64`, `DEFER_MAX*8u64`) for
element-count (`LOOP_MAX: u64`, `DEFER_MAX: u64`). 10 caller
sites in cgenstmt.ww/cgenexpr.ww use `[i]` indexing which works
identically for slice-shaped struct fields.
Two-line let-then-assign idiom for the 4 inits is a real checker
limitation: alloc's element-deferred `[]u8` → `[]T` retype only
fires in let-init (checkletassign N_TSLICE LHS), and cglet's
alloc-slice writeback shortcut (cgenstmt.ww:577) only fires in
let-init too. Direct `c.field = alloc([], N)!` would silently
emit a scalar alloc with a junk slice header. Filed #49 for the
checker enhancement; the let-then-assign is Hare-idiomatic in
the meantime.
Verified 132/132 + 995_self_rebuild byte-identity.
Followup to 8e93b31 (#43). Audit caught dispatch-gate sites the
sweep missed:
- cgen.ww letpreintern's `sz == 16` str-let detector — would
desync from emitletdataw's matching `sz == primtypesize("str"):
i32` strlit-init branch under #1.
- cgenstmt.ww cglet str-init MOVQ-BX gate and slice-init MOVQ-BX/CX
gate (and the belt-and-suspenders N_TSLICE shape check at l.607).
- cgenexpr.ww cgindex str-element loads (3 sites: globalarr,
baselocal, generic fallback) and the matching cgassign N_INDEX
str-element write pair (BX spill + post-index store).
All gates now read `primtypesize("str"): i32` / `tyslicesize(): i32`,
so #1's ty_str.size bump propagates through the same two-place edit
the original commit advertised. Combined files (w6c/wwdump) updated
in lockstep.
131/131 + 994 + 995 byte-identity green; smoke.combined.ww (lib-only
consumer) emits the same asm pre vs post, confirming the change is
SSoT routing only (no behaviour shift).
