Three defects, all from lifting every def initialiser, none of which the
suite caught:
A def typed fresh into a live session came up zero and stayed zero. The
image flan_dev_global copies on the allocation is the only value a new
global ever gets — the host's .init-globals never calls its initialiser —
and both backends chose that image with Tast.const_init, which a def's
lifted Call fails by construction. Emit.initial_image reads the constant
back out of the lifted body; the x86 twin had the same bug.
Changing a global between def and defonce was silently ineffective: the
guard lives in the startup function compiled into the host, which a reload
cannot republish. Session.compatible refuses both directions and says to
restart; editing the value stays allowed.
And global/<n> no longer leaks into the signature refusal when a def is
retyped — the global loop names the same fact in words a reader can act on.
flan check prints def, defonce or defconst off grerun; (defvar) with no
arguments names the shapes rather than offering (defonce ); the docs,
plan.org, runtime comments and valgrind.supp are swept; BUILT.md states
the release-build cost and the uninit caveat.
The author's rule: "allow shadowing but warn". A user (defn get ...) is
legal, the user's definition wins at every call site in the file that wrote
it, and the compiler warns once at the definition.
Builtin-wins was never a rule anybody wrote: named_call is one match on the
name, the builtin arms are string literals, and the three arms that look a
name up are the last three in it. So a guard goes first, the trailing three
are factored into ordinary_call, and both routes into it resolve a name the
same way.
The shadow stops at the file that declared it. An imported package's names
were qualified at the import, so a get written inside one is the builtin's
and stays the builtin's; the prelude is excluded by its file for the same
reason. programs/shadow-builtin.flan is both halves at once.
The warning prints from build_program, which is what every command and the
dev daemon's reload go through, in the shape --warn-memory established:
file:line:col, the squiggle, and an exit status that does not move.
And the message that described the old world is gone — the builtin-arity
note said a defn does not replace a builtin, which is no longer true and is
no longer reachable.
