FIX.org carried Addr(Pfield ...) on an Option as a hole in both backends. It is
not reachable from the language: a field access goes through struct_target,
which admits a struct or a pointer to one and refuses everything else by name
with a location, so (addr (.x o)) is refused at the field and never reaches a
place. The node that failed was one the compiler built for itself.
The refusal is pinned on the bare field and on the address of one, and FIX.org
now records the finding, including the asymmetry that stays: the x86 backend
lays out an Option's tag and value as fields and the LLVM backend does not.
Neither path is reachable, so matching them would be untestable code written to
balance a road nobody drives on.
flan-dev's start command proposed the last program it had started, so
invoking it from a fresh project's buffer offered the previous project's
file. It now proposes the buffer it was called from; restarting the
previous program is what flan-dev-restart-program is for.
Zeroing a fixed array wrote one typed store per element. Above 64 bytes
that becomes a memset, which LLVM can lower as a bulk clear; below it the
inline stores are still cheaper than a call.
Outline's minor-mode map owned TAB in the lowering buffer, so the folding
keys that buffer defines never ran. A buffer-local overriding map gives
them back without touching Outline anywhere else.
FIX.org collects the rough edges found while using the dev loop.
