// fnptr_derefless_call_test — a deref-less call through a `*fn` pointer // (C6a, task #7). `f(21)` where `f: *fn(...)...` autodereferences one // pointer level to the fn before the call, exactly like the canonical // `(*f)(21)`. wwstage already accepted this (it mirrors harec's // check_autodereference, ref/harec/src/check.c:1566); cstage's N_CALL // checker arm peeled only TY_NAMED and rejected the `*fn` callee // ("calling non-function"), the under-permissive cs!=ww side. The fix // peels ONE pointer level in cmd/wcc/check.c so BOTH stages accept it and // emit byte-identical asm (rule-10) — cgen lowers a bare fn-ptr value as // the call target (#181), identical to the deref form. // // REVERT MANIFESTATION: revert the cstage checker peel and the // deref-less rows below no longer COMPILE under cstage ("calling // non-function"), so this whole file fails to build in the cstage `ww // test` / byte-id legs — a hard red, not a silent value drift. // // NOT covered here: a `**fn` deref-less call (`let pf: **fn(...) = &f; // pf(21)`). The #181-cgen path uses the callee VALUE as the call target, // so it autodereferences exactly ONE level; a `**fn` deref-less call // drops a `MOVQ (AX),AX` and miscompiles on BOTH stages (byte-id-blind, // returns garbage). cstage deliberately stays loud on `**fn` (one-level // peel); multi-level fn-ptr autoderef is deferred (#181).
