web/examples/check.sh was failing, and had been since 2026-09-12. printing.out
records the structural printer's output with colon field labels; the printer emits
dots. The language is right and the recording is stale -- the colon-to-dot sweep
worked on Flan source forms and never touched a .out file, and check.sh is not
part of dune test, so nothing has run it since the day both landed. The acceptance
suite settles which side is correct: it expects the dot spelling everywhere and is
green. The page quoted the same stale line.
The x86 paragraph told a reader that conditions are the visible gap and quoted a
build failing by name. That exact command now succeeds and produces a binary:
conditions, guards, cells, redefinition modules and DWARF all landed, the survey
is 103 MATCH / 0 DIFFER / 0 refused, and what is still refused is narrow enough to
name -- an aggregate crossing the C boundary, which is the classifier this backend
exists not to have.
ArithError was absent from the page entirely. It sits beside the bounds section
because it is the same decision twice, including the part where no restart is
established at the failing operation. Its two programs are in web/examples/ and
checked, which is the page's own rule for anything it quotes.
print and println had no line anywhere on index.html — a builtin the reader
meets in the first example and is never told about. There is a section for
them now, between arrays and the prelude: what the walk covers, that an enum
comes back as its name and a Ptr does not get followed, that a string is raw
at the top and quoted inside a structure, and that the depth and span caps
are what keep a grid from printing a screenful. printing.flan is beside the
other examples so check.sh has been green on every line of it.
The prelude's table loses its output row, because the prelude has no output
functions left, and the fifty-odd example blocks follow the files they quote.
Two pinned things moved. sand-headless prints 15595743031174623232 where it
printed -2851001042534928384: same bits, read unsigned, because the cast that
made it signed is gone. bounds.flan's trap moved from column 28 to 19, which
is where (at xs i) now starts on that line.
And the indirection-cell illustration is defer.flan rather than hello.flan.
hello.flan cannot show a cell any more: its one call was to a prelude
function, and println is compiler-provided, so the smallest program makes no
Flan-to-Flan call at all. defer.flan's main calls work, and is already on the
page a few sections up.
