nth and at were documented as the same operation, and as reads they were:
check.ml matched "at" | "nth" in one arm. But a place is recovered in two
other spots -- parse.ml for (set ...) and place_of_expr for (addr ...) --
and both match only Sym "at". So (set (nth a i) x) and (addr (nth a i))
were refused while the at forms worked.
Two names said to be identical that disagree about writing is worse than
one name, and the asymmetry is not worth fixing in three places to keep a
synonym. at is the indexing operation; nth is gone.
The six call sites were all reads, so they rewrite directly. get/put stay
the Map pair: get returns (Option V) and is deliberately not a place.
nth-gone.flan pins the removal -- it has to fail as a name nobody defined,
not quietly resolve to at again.
destructure~nth is compiler-generated and unrelated.
The prose lane branched before the CIDER buffers landed, so the page still
described C-c C-b as the minibuffer prompt. It is the conditions buffer now, the
prompt moved to C-c C-M-b, and C-c C-i, C-c C-a and C-c C-g are missing
entirely.
Checked against the real keymap rather than against the source: loading
flan-mode in a batch Emacs and asking key-binding what each one resolves to.
That is what caught C-c C-g being unbound - flan-dape.el registers it from its
own file so that flan-mode still works without dape installed - so the row says
so rather than claiming a binding that is not there.
Forty-odd clauses of the shape "— which is what makes X work" and "that is the
point of Y". Each one restates in the abstract what the sentence before it had
just said concretely, and a reader who followed the first does not need the
second. The facts are unchanged; the examples are untouched.
Two CIDER-shaped buffers: C-c C-i navigates a value, C-c C-b shows the
condition, the restarts and the stack. C-c C-M-b keeps the old one-key prompt.
The inspector needs no protocol change at all. eval-expr already answers a
rendered string, and Session.render writes exactly seven shapes, so that string
is a grammar. Navigation is a stack of *expressions* rather than of handles:
going into :pos sends (.pos b), into element 2 sends (at (.tags b) 2) - both
ordinary Flan a person could type. CIDER keeps its stack on the server because
a JVM value can be retained; nothing here can, since a Flan value has no header
and the render thunk is dlclosed the moment it returns. The view is therefore
never stale, where CIDER's shows the object as it was when you pushed. What it
buys over C-x C-e is the depth-4 span-8 bound: a field past it comes back as
... and nothing recovers it from the echo area, and re-rooting renders it from
depth 0.
SBCL decided the order - condition, restarts, then stack - because invoke-debugger
prints the condition and show-restarts and then stops; the backtrace is a command
you type. The restarts are the decision and the stack is the explanation for it.
And SBCL found a live bug. show-restarts omits the bracket on a name already
used further in, which is not decoration: §4 takes the first frame offering a
name, so a second frame offering retry is real, is on the list, and cannot be
chosen. The old prompt showed retry twice and sent the string either way, and
the inner frame took it silently. restarts.flan's own nested function has been
that counterexample since the transfer landed. The buffer draws the shadowed row
unbracketed and refuses RET on it by name, with a test asserting nothing was
sent - which stops the lie without restoring the choice. Taking a restart by
index is the fix and is recorded as such.
Sections that cannot be filled are drawn saying why rather than omitted: a
missing section cannot be told from an empty one, and only one of those is a
fact about the program.
Nineteen entries at the top of a long page are scrolled past once and then
unreachable. A fixed column stays put and scrolls on its own. Below 66rem there
is not room for two columns, so it collapses to a bar with a toggle — a
checkbox, so the page still needs no script to navigate.
The wordmark's dot was a circle at a guessed x, which drifted from the n
whenever the reader's serif was not the one it was measured against. It is a
full stop in the same text run now.
Saying "the fields are not available" was under-claiming. A condition is a
struct, and Tast.structs holds every struct's field names and types in the
daemon, which owns the build — no running program is involved in answering
what a Missing is made of. Only the values need the pointer the break loop
was handed, and break_loop currently discards that pointer, so they are two
different gaps with two different fixes on two different sides of the socket.
The buffer now draws a field named and typed with its value refused, which is
what tells you whether the field you were about to blame is even a field of
this condition.
Navigation backwards was not the same list walked the other way. Forward
wrapped and backward stopped, and from the middle of a line the two disagreed
about where a field begins — a field line carries the property on all of it,
so a property-change walk from mid-line finds the end of the field you are
already in. Both now go through one list of field starts. The mid-line case
went red on the first try and the expectation was the thing that was wrong:
landing on the current field's start is what CIDER does and is the less
surprising of the two.
C-c C-a disassembles a named function, C-u C-c C-a shows its LLVM IR, and the
daemon keeps a name-to-origin table filled only when delivery answers ok, so it
knows which module owns a name after N reloads.
The honest part is the basis line. It cannot claim "installed now": the agent has
no verb that reports an address, the cell lives in the program's address space,
and eval-expr renders a pointer as <ptr>. So the reply says which of three things
is true - nothing delivered, delivered and queued, or delivered while stopped -
and prints it above the first instruction. The stopped case first read "not
installed yet", which was wrong: the commonest way to stop is to install a body
and have it error.
Overlays clear on the next command in that buffer, through a buffer-local
pre-command-hook installed with the overlay and removed with it. Not
post-command-hook, which fires at the end of the failing command and would clear
the overlay before redisplay.
NEXT.md gains a "Blocked and unfinished" section, which is the point of this
commit. Everything in it was found, decided or half-built this session and then
stopped, and each entry says what blocks it: the four memory questions the Odin
and Carp studies converged on, typed restarts, handler-case, six bugs with
repros, the mutation pass's remaining blind spots, four things that are one line
away, and three places the normative documents contradict the code.
Three drifted claims fixed while there. The file said "There is still no REPL.
Nothing does redefinition, dlopen, or nREPL" in a document that spends fifteen
sections describing exactly those; the raylib inventory said 29 calls against
164; the commit count said 34 against 154.
The quote checker found three of them on the first run against the new tip: the
sand hash was changed deliberately by the grid lane, break and continue now
refuse by name instead of reading as unknown functions, and the usage text grew
--debug. The prelude also grew a string and UTF-8 family the table did not list.
A stopped program was said not to have installed what was delivered. The
commonest way to stop is to install a body and have it error, so that
asserted non-installation in precisely the case where the body is running;
the daemon cannot read a cell back either way, and now says that. What is
certain is only that nothing further installs until it resumes.
And the source location came from the session rather than from the build it
was showing. Session.eval replaces the checked program the moment a form
checks — before the build, before delivery — so an evaluation that checked
and then failed to build left a reply showing the host's code, saying
nothing had been delivered, and pointing at a buffer whose code never
landed. A daemon whose llc is [false] is the whole test.
C-c C-b is a completing-read over restart names, which is the whole UI for
the one moment the dev loop exists to make survivable. It shows the names and
nothing else, and it will let you pick one that cannot be taken.
That last part is a bug, not a gap. §4 says restart lookup takes the first
frame offering a name, and flan_find_restart does exactly that; so a second
frame offering "retry" is real, is on the list, and is unreachable — picking
it sends the string "retry" and the inner frame runs, silently. SBCL has
shown this since forever by numbering the restarts and omitting the bracket
on a name already used. Taken as is, and the shadowed row now refuses by name
and says what would fix it: an index verb, which does not exist.
SBCL also decides the order. invoke-debugger prints the condition, then
show-restarts, and stops; the backtrace is a command you type. The restarts
are the decision and the stack is the explanation for it, and a debugger that
opens with forty frames has buried one under the other.
What CIDER's stacktrace buffer gives is the behaviour — frames that fold in
place, everything on the keyboard. Not its cause chain: a JVM exception wraps
another one and a Flan condition wraps nothing.
The fields, the stack and the locals are drawn as sections that say why they
are empty and what each would take. A section left out cannot be told from
one that happened to have nothing in it, and only one of those is a fact
about the program.
C-x C-e renders once and stops at depth 4 and span 8. A field past either
comes back as "..." and nothing recovers it from the echo area. Re-rooting
the walk at that field renders it from depth 0, so the bound moves with you
— that, and not tidiness, is why an inspector is worth having beside the
expression evaluator.
CIDER keeps its inspector stack on the server because a JVM value can be
retained. Nothing here can: a Flan value has no header and the thunk that
rendered it is dlclosed the moment it returns. So the stack is a stack of
expressions on this side, and going into a field means sending a different
one — (.pos b) where the last one was b. It costs a re-evaluation per step,
which buys a view that is never stale and is why refresh is a key someone
presses rather than a timer.
Driven from fixtures, which is also the only way the cases a live program
will not hold still for get tested at all.
At -O0 it stores into read-only memory and takes SIGSEGV; at -O2 LLVM deletes
it as undefined and the program prints the unmodified string and exits 0. Same
source, and which way it fails depends on a flag, which is worse than either
outcome on its own.
Nothing refuses it and nothing cheaply can: bytes turns a string into a [u8],
the language lets you write through a slice, and by then nothing records where
the bytes came from. That is provenance, which plan.org defers as open decision
#3. Emitting literals as mutable globals is not a fix - it moves which flag
misbehaves and costs their read-only placement.
Written down rather than half-fixed, with the rule the string lane already
follows: a function over a string must not write through it.
The overlay half is checked as far as --batch allows and no further:
execute-kbd-macro runs no pre-command-hook there, so the hook is proved
installed in the right buffer and in nobody else's, and proved to clear and
uninstall when run — which is what the command loop does with it. That Emacs
runs it is Emacs' contract, and a test pretending to check it would be
checking nothing.
They came back as "unknown function break", which reads as a typo rather than
as a missing feature. plan.org's loop story is settled as imperative while/for
with break, continue and return, so these are named, planned and absent - and
they alter control flow, which is the first thing the house rule says must be
recognised explicitly rather than left to fall through to a call.
Found by the lane writing the documentation site, which had to describe the
loop forms and discovered two of them were neither implemented nor refused.
A listing rebased to the function and branch targets that read as labels
are the whole difference between something you can follow and a dump; both
looked fine by eye and neither was checked by anything.
encode-rune! says nothing is written when it answers None, and every None case
in the table passed that claim without testing it: an encoder that lays the
lead byte down and only then notices the buffer is short returns None exactly
as a correct one does. So a known byte goes into scratch, a refused encoding
is asked for, and the byte is read back. Storing before the length test turns
the line from 65 -1 65 -1 65 into 65 -1 0 -1 0.
The read-only claim beside lower-ascii was reasoned from the emitted linkage
rather than observed, and observing it was worse than the guess. With
(set (at (bytes "Hi") 0) \h): at -O0 the store is emitted against the constant
and the program takes SIGSEGV; at -O2 LLVM deletes it as undefined behaviour
and the program prints "Hi" and exits 0. The same source either dies or
silently does nothing depending on a flag. The comment now says that instead
of predicting a segfault.
A call without a !dbg inside a function that has debug info is a hard LLVM
rejection, not a warning — it turns every debug build into a clang error. So
is a DISubprogram the compile unit does not reach. Neither is visible to an
assertion about the text of the module, and both are the kind of thing that
appears when this file grows a new call from somewhere other than a Tast node.
The program the cases run through is chosen for those calls specifically: a
bounds check, a condition signalled and handled, a restart transferred to, a
defer on the way out. Every one of them is a call the backend invents.
Emit.redefinition is the half that needed this. It had only ever run at the
default debug:false, and it differs from Emit.program in exactly the places
metadata goes wrong: hidden bodies, the by-name cell and global lookups, and
flan_reload_install and flan_reload_call, which are raw defines with no
subprogram that nonetheless contain calls. Both directions of `known' are
covered, because they emit almost entirely different code.
The parser decides "return type or first body form?" from the set of type
names the file declares, and an import is resolved after parsing - so a
package's structs cannot be in that set by construction. (defn mk [] rl/Vector2
...) therefore read the return type as the body and failed with "unknown name
rl/Vector2", which names the symptom and not the cause.
The signal is the alias plus the capital, and both halves are needed. An alias
is syntactically obvious and the same pre-pass collects it. A bare capitalised
symbol is never a value in this language - a struct or union constructor is
(Name {...}), a List, and an enum member is a keyword - so the hazard the
surrounding comment warns about, a body form eaten as a return type, has no
form of this shape to eat. A lowercase qualified name stays an expression,
which is what rl/get-color has to be.
Found by the raylib lane, which hit it on rl/Vector2 and reported it rather
than reaching into a file it did not own.
`case $x in *""*)` is always true, so every check whose text came from a grep
went green the moment the line it greps for was renamed — which is exactly the
case those checks exist for, and they guard files other lanes are editing.
Verified by pointing one grep at a string that is not there: ok before, FAIL
after. sqrt-f32 was overstated in the same spirit; it is a declare, not Flan.
No DAP implementation here, and there should not be one. `flan build --debug'
puts DWARF in the executable, lldb reads it, lldb-dap speaks the protocol — so
what was actually missing was a dape-configs entry that knows to build a .flan
file first and where the binary lands.
The build goes through dape's own `compile' key rather than a shell-out, so a
rejected program lands in a compilation buffer and next-error walks it. Flan's
diagnostics are already file:line:col.
`flan-debug' goes through `dape--config-eval' and not `alist-get'. `dape'
takes a config whose forms are already evaluated — that is what M-x dape does
after reading one — and handing it the stored entry would pass the list
(flan-dape--binary (flan-dape--source)) to lldb as a program name. Driven
headlessly to prove it: a breakpoint set by line in the .flan buffer, hit,
reported as flan.tick at debug.flan:19 with c and n in scope.
The keybinding is registered from here rather than in flan-mode.el, so this
file is the only thing anyone has to load to get it and flan-mode keeps
working for someone who never installs dape.
The two frictions are written down at the bottom of flan-dape.el from lldb
transcripts, not from reasoning about what ought to happen, because the guess
I started from was wrong. Across a reload a breakpoint set by *name* gains a
second location and both stay live — the old body is still mapped and still
what old call sites reach. One set by *file and line* stops firing, and not
because dape pinned it to an address: the redefinition module has no line
table to resolve against. Given one, lldb does re-resolve on dlopen.
Which names the gap: Emit.redefinition takes ~debug and Session.eval does not
pass it, so `flan reload' and the `flan dev' daemon build modules without
DWARF. lib/session.ml is the dev loop's file, not this lane's.
test-flan-dape.el is not in dune test. It wants Emacs, dape, lldb-dap and a
built flan at once, and wiring four optional things into the acceptance table
would make that table's failures mean less, not more.
Which module owns a name after a delivery, and the fact that a delivered
body is not thereby an installed one. Its own daemon over its own program:
a generation counter checked against a session four other cases have been
driving proves nothing about the counter.
An overlay that lasted until the next accepted evaluation was a durable
annotation on the source, which is not what it is: it is feedback about the
action that just failed, and the moment you move, type or evaluate it is
describing a program state nobody is in any more.
pre-command-hook rather than post-command-hook, which fires at the end of
the failing command and would take the overlay down before redisplay ever
drew it. Buffer-local and installed only while an overlay exists, so a
session of twenty buffers does not end up running this on every keystroke
in all of them.
Relaxing 0xf0's second-byte floor from 0x90 to 0x80 left the whole suite
green: every other row of the table had a case pinning it and that one did
not, so f0 80 80 af decoded happily as "/". The same smuggled slash the
two- and three-byte cases exist to catch, missed in the fourth width.
Seven mutations verified red after this: the lead-byte floor at 0xc2 and the
second-byte bounds on 0xe0, 0xed, 0xf0 and 0xf4, the truncated-sequence
width, and the split cursor dropping its trailing empty field. An eighth,
lower-ascii written as a bit-xor, is red on the bytes either side of the
letters — which is why those are in the table and the letters alone are not.
C-c C-a on a name, C-u for the IR. The header is SBCL's habit of saying
which function and out of what before a line of code, with one line it does
not have: what the answer claims. A reader looking at a listing will assume
it is what the program is running, and for a delivered-but-not-yet-installed
body that is exactly the thing that is not known — so the daemon's own
account of it sits above the first instruction rather than nowhere.
"Every program below was run" is the kind of assurance nobody can act on. Naming
check.sh and quotes.sh turns it into something a reader can re-run, and says
plainly that a disagreement makes one of them go red.
Two claims in these comments were stronger than the permutation runs
behind them. The WAV round trip catches sample-size against channels
and leaves frame-count against sample-rate entirely green — the crop
and the reformat are what catch that pair, and a reader who trusted the
round trip would drop exactly the wrong case. The font file listed what
it pins and never said that glyph-padding, offset-y and three of each
atlas rectangle's four fields are read by nothing here at all.
Two more permutations run and recorded while fixing it: GlyphInfo's
image moved to the front, which shifts the four ints 24 bytes and
collapses the glyph search, and Rectangle's x with width, which moves
"measure ABC" to 39 and confirms the advance-0 fallback is the only
thing reading a width out of the recs array.
An editor could see the IR of a whole file and nothing at all of what the
running process is executing. The daemon built every module it sent, so
objdump on the right object is the disassembly and the retained .ll is the
IR; the only hard part is which module owns a name after N reloads, and a
table filled on accepted delivery answers it.
What it deliberately does not claim is that the code shown is installed.
The agent takes a module path and answers ok when it has queued one; there
is no verb that reads a cell back, so :basis spells out which of the three
things is true — the host's body, still certain because nothing was ever
delivered; queued and awaiting a frame boundary; or queued while the
program is stopped and therefore certainly not installed yet.
From SBCL: offsets from the function's start rather than addresses into a
file, and L0.. labels on branch targets. Not source interleaving, which
needs line tables this build does not emit, so the reply says so.
It is the project's headline cross-target claim and the page was asserting it
second-hand. Both targets print 2256461126764447066 on this machine, so the
transcript is now what the page shows.
A decoder that only masks and shifts gets every well-formed character right,
so a corpus of real text passes it. What separates it from a correct one is
the second group here: an overlong two- and three-byte "/", a surrogate, a
code point past U+10FFFF, a lead byte that leads nothing, a lone continuation
byte, and a character truncated by the end of its slice. Each isolates one row
of the accept_sizes table, and each must answer width 1 so a scan advances.
The invalid sequences are byte arrays because no valid string contains them
and the reader has no \xNN escape to spell them with.
Encoding is checked by round trip. An encoder and a decoder wrong in the same
direction agree with each other, and expected bytes would not catch that.
The emoji line caught a use-after-return while this was being written: a
(defn whole [a [4 u8]] [u8] (slice a 0 4)) helper returns a slice into the
copy a [n T] parameter makes in the callee's frame. The compiler accepts it in
silence. The comment stays where the helper was.
plan.org settled the loop story as "while/for with break/continue and return",
so a reader will reach for them; they are not implemented and, unlike the rest,
not refused by name either — they come back as unknown function.
A binding nothing calls is a binding nothing checks, and that was
already true of key-released? and mouse-button-pressed? before this
lane added sixty more. Audio, render textures, gamepads, touch and
gestures cannot be in the acceptance table — a sound needs a device, a
framebuffer needs a GL context, and with no pad attached every gamepad
predicate answers what a wrapper with its arguments crossed would — so
they go here, where running the program is the check.
Each read-out is built to be asymmetric: the world is drawn through a
render texture with the negative source height raylib's bottom-up
framebuffer requires, so a missing flip is an upside-down world rather
than a subtle one; the stick dot is offset by x and y separately; the
two trigger bars are different lengths. The tone is generated in Flan
rather than shipped as an asset, which is also what gives export-wave
and load-music-stream a call site outside a test.
{:keys [x y]} and {inner :field} over a struct, [a b] and [a & rest] over a
fixed array, nesting through each other. All of it becomes Let plus Field plus
at plus slice in parse.ml, so nothing downstream learns a pattern exists - the
same shape dotimes already has.
The constraint turned out to be stronger than "do not add IR". load.ml matches
Ast.pattern exhaustively with no wildcard and shim.ml builds Ast.binding as a
full record literal, and both files belong to other agents this session, with
warning 8 an error - so no new frontend shape was available either. The
desugaring is what fits through that, and it is the better answer anyway.
The value goes into a temporary named destructure~N. The tilde is a reader
delimiter, so no source symbol can collide with one, and (let [{a :a} a] ...)
therefore reads the old a. The one thing the parser cannot settle is arity, so
that travels to check.ml as a call to destructure~nth, which knows the array's
length - a name in call position is an open namespace check.ml already owns and
dispatches, which is why that is not the same compromise as tagging a pattern.
Sequential patterns over a *slice* are refused rather than lowered to a
bounds-checked at. [a b] over [2 f32] is a claim the checker settles; over [T]
it is a claim about a number that does not exist until runtime, and lowering it
would turn a compile-time-checkable pattern into a program that type checks and
then traps.
match over enums is left unshipped on the same reasoning, and that restraint is
worth recording: it is fully desugarable and wanted, but a keyword needs a case
in Ast.pattern, and the alternative - tagging Pctor (":lo", []) - puts a second
meaning into a field another file destructures as a constructor name. One line
in load.ml unblocks it for whoever owns that file. The old refusal blamed
milestone 2, which was never the reason; both paths now name the enum and say
what actually stops it.
The paraphrase of why a wide index is refused was shorter and said less than
the message; and the keybinding table came from NEXT.md, which is two keys
behind flan-mode.el, so it now reads the keymap instead.
A module's .ll is deleted by the build and the host's lives in a working
directory named after the process rather than the module, so ten reloads
in there is nothing left on disk that says what a given function was
compiled from. The daemon owns the build and is the only thing that could
have kept it, so it keeps it: one .ll beside each .so, and a table from
function name to the last module that carried a body for it.
Odin's core/strings and all of core/fmt take an allocator; core/unicode/utf8
does not, because decoding is classification and every answer is a number.
That line is where the port stops, and the refusals at the foot of the file
say so by name rather than leaving a caller to find out.
The accept_sizes table becomes a cond over the lead byte. Its four awkward
rows are the ones a hand-written decoder gets wrong one at a time, so they are
written out: 0xc0/0xc1 lead nothing, 0xe0 and 0xf0 have a raised second-byte
floor against overlongs, 0xed has a lowered ceiling against the surrogates.
Two divergences from Odin, both the parse-i64 argument again. A malformed
sequence carries ok:false instead of decoding to U+FFFD, which is a real code
point a caller cannot tell from a failure; and encode-rune! answers None
rather than silently substituting U+FFFD for a rune it was not given. Width
stays 1 on a bad byte, which is Odin's rule and load-bearing: every loop here
advances by it, and a 0 would hang rather than answer wrong.
split cannot return a sequence it would have to own, so the cursor is what
survives. It follows the allocating strings.split rather than Odin's own
iterator, which drops a trailing empty field and disagrees with it.
Case conversion is byte-wise and not in place: a literal is emitted into
read-only memory, so lowering (bytes "Hi") would type check and segfault.
Two ways to write a match over an enum and two different refusals, neither
of them true. (match k :lo ...) died in the parser with "expected a pattern,
found :hi" — which arm it named depended on cons evaluation order, and it
never mentioned enums. (match k lo ...) died in the checker blaming milestone
2, which is not what stands in the way.
What stands in the way is worth writing down, because the feature is close.
An enum is an i32 at run time and its members are all known, so the arms are
a chain of (= k :member) and the exhaustiveness check falls out of env.enums
— a desugaring, no new IR node, the same shape as everything else this lane
landed. What is missing is a case in Ast.pattern for a keyword, and load.ml
matches that type exhaustively with no wildcard, so the variant cannot be
added from a session that does not own the file. One line, for whoever does.
That is also why destructuring went through a call to an unspellable name
instead: a name in call position is an open namespace check.ml already owns,
whereas tagging Pctor with ":lo" would put a second meaning into a field
another file destructures as a constructor.
The struct-tail case in the acceptance program is unrelated housekeeping: the
corpus slices arrays of i32, u8 and f32 and nothing wider, so nothing else
proves the desugared (slice xs n (len xs)) gets a struct's stride right.
The rule was "capitalised is a type", which leaves i32 and string looking like
ordinary names in the one position — a signature — where the reader is there
to see the types.
The blocks that are not programs were the ones that had drifted: the usage text
had lost its indentation and the refusal table had trimmed "(see plan.org)" off
every message, so the page was showing wording the compiler does not print.
A wrong DWARF member offset does not crash anything. It prints a plausible
value for the wrong field, which is the failure this project has met over and
over at the FFI boundary, and it is the only way the debug info can be wrong
without saying so.
A table of expected offsets written in this test would be wrong in exactly the
ways the code is wrong, so it checks against LLVM instead: ptrtoint of a
getelementptr through a null pointer, over the struct type text lifted out of
the emitted module, folded by llc into a .quad and read back. That is the same
idiom Emit already uses for the size it hands flan_dev_global — it is just not
expressible inside metadata, where offset: must be an integer literal.
Then the same struct again with its fields permuted, and an assertion that the
two disagree. A check that cannot come out differently is not checking
anything: an offset table that ignored declaration order would satisfy either
ordering alone.
It fails when it should. Making a slice 4-byte aligned moves Cell.name from 24
to 20; the test says so by name, and lldb — which is the point — prints
len = 21474836480 for a five-character string.
The lldb cases are the only ones that say a person can debug a Flan program
rather than that the metadata is self-consistent: a breakpoint on a Flan
function by name, a backtrace naming .flan files and lines, and locals with
their own types and values. Skipped where there is no lldb, since it is not a
build dependency.
The --dev case is there because "the stack goes missing under --dev" is the
sort of thing found late. It does not: a cell changes how the callee is found,
not how the frame is laid out.
Audio was written off as needing a device. That is true of Sound and
Music and false of Wave: copy, crop, reformat, export, load and decode
are all CPU work, and wave-format is the same scalars-in/fields-out
shape gen-image-color is, with the frame count computed rather than
handed over. Cropping to a single frame before decoding puts raylib's
byte-offset arithmetic in front of the decoder, which is what tells
sample-size from channels — an axis discriminator, not a mirror.
Fonts were said to have no headless test. They do, once the program
stops asking raylib for a font and builds one out of Flan arrays: text
measuring reads every field and computes. Both cases were verified red
by permuting the defstructs; the permutations are recorded in the
comments so the next reader need not rediscover which ones bite.
