Wwstage's cglet skipped MOVQ $0 for sz=8 slots that cstage
zero-inits unconditionally — !void error types (utf8.invalid)
and void-alias variant tags (utf8.done / utf8.more) drifted
byte-id post-utf8 + lib/strings; promotes STATUS-3 #22 from
latent to bootstrap-blocking. Cstage emits MOVQ $0, -K(BP) in
the prologue for any sz=8 let-decl slot via the natural
type-fallthrough; wwstage's `typeis8byteprimitive` helper
returned false on N_TBANG and on N_TNAME pointing to an alias
that resolves to void, so the gate never fired and the slot
stayed uninitialised.
Polarity catalog: wwstage UNDER — `typeis8byteprimitive`
classifier too narrow at N_TBANG and void-alias N_TNAME.
Convergence wwstage → cstage's natural sz=8 fallthrough (rule
10). N_TBANG arm recurses on inner type (cmd/wcc/check.c:290
resolve_type copies T's kind, only sets iserror — so !T is
8B iff T is 8B); void-alias N_TNAME resolves through alias-
recursion the same way.
Tests:
- 724_letdecl_zeroinit pins MOVQ $0, -K(BP) presence between
function prologue and body on canonical !void and void-
alias rows, plus cmp -s byte-id between stages per row.
Filed follow-up (NOT in scope here): #25 wwstage 8B struct
without rhs still under-emits (structlookup != nil short-
circuits the classifier). Same family as STATUS-4 #36 primsize
composite-aware sizing. No in-tree consumer.
96/96 ok. 995_self_rebuild stays green (ww2==ww3==ww4 byte-id).
