// cgstructlitfill — fill a struct-typed slot from an N_STRUCTLIT

// cgassign N_IDENT-lhs N_STRUCTLIT (BP-rel) AND cgassign N_DOT-lhs
// N_STRUCTLIT (BP-rel / via *struct local / via struct global) at
// single-dot and chained-dot sites.
//
// Destination modes:
//   0 = DST_BP        — base = BP, no reload. Stores at disp+i(BP).
//                       srcoff/srcname unused.
//   1 = DST_PTR_LOCAL — base = BX, reloaded from srcoff(BP) before
//                       the ELLIPSIS zero-fill loop and before EVERY
//                       field store (cgexpr clobbers BX between
//                       fields). Stores at disp+i(BX). srcname
//                       unused.
//   2 = DST_GLOBAL    — base = BX, reloaded via `LEAQ srcname(SB),
//                       BX` with the same cadence as DST_PTR_LOCAL.
//                       srcoff unused.
//
// Param semantics (locked in here so the recursion contract is
// clear):
//   - `disp` is the per-recursion accumulator — grows by `fi.foff`
//     as we descend into a nested struct-typed structlit field.
//   - `srcoff` (DST_PTR_LOCAL) and `srcname` (DST_GLOBAL) are
//     *constant* across the whole call tree — they identify the
//     root dst, which doesn't change with depth.
//   - `totsize` is also constant; pass the natural size for dot
//     sites (structnaturalsize) and si.totsize for BP-rel sites,
//     matching each site's pre-#18 zero-fill bound.
//
// Why a helper? The inline field-walk previously did
// `cgexpr(field.lhs); store AX sized`. For struct-typed fields whose
// value is itself a nested N_STRUCTLIT, cgexpr has no whole-struct-
// in-register convention — it lands AX = first qword and the
// trailing bytes silently stay zero. #17 fixed the BP-rel sites;
// #18 extends the same recursion to the four cgassign N_DOT-lhs
// structlit walks (single-dot via_ptr/global/local + chained
// depth>=2).
//
// The non-BP modes emit a redundant BX reload at the start of each
// recursive nested zero-fill / each recursive scalar store — this is
// correctness-by-construction (BX is always freshly loaded right
// before use), and the redundancy only fires on the nested-STRUCTLIT
// shapes that didn't compile before. Byte-identity for the no-
// nested case (the only shape selfhost source uses today) is
// preserved because the existing inline code's reload-before-each-
// store pattern matches the helper's per-store reload exactly.
//
// Graduation note (task #13): the scalar store currently uses the
// explicit {1→MOVB, 4→MOVL, else MOVQ} dispatch to match cstage
// byte-identically — cstage hasn't yet learned MOVW for fsz==2. Once
// #13 aligns both stages, the dispatch can switch to fieldstoreop
// which already returns MOVW where appropriate.
