// mandelbrot — ANSI-color Mandelbrot set, printed via libc. // // What this proves: // 1. ww does f64 arithmetic (mul, add, sub, div) end to end. // 2. The @symbol FFI mechanism binds write() from libc.so.6. // 3. w6l's dynamic linker (PT_INTERP + PT_DYNAMIC + PLT/GOT) reaches // a real .so at runtime — `ldd mandelbrot` shows libc.so.6 as a // NEEDED entry. // // Each pixel is a colored space rendered via xterm 256-color background // escapes (\e[48;5;Nm). We use libc's `write` (a thin syscall wrapper) // rather than `putchar` because the runtime here doesn't call // __libc_start_main, so stdio state stays uninitialised and putchar's // buffer is never flushed. // // Build: see ./Makefile.
