Joseph Ferano 6b668e7d9d A JSON document read into a value that outlives the bytes it came from
vendor/json is vendor/edn's shape with one decision reversed. edn never
allocates, so its tokens are views into the source buffer and escaped
strings are refused for want of anywhere to put the unescaped copy. This
one has an allocator, so it unescapes, and to unescape it copies —
string-of is the only function in the package that allocates, and it
copies even when there was no escape to resolve, because a Value whose
lifetime depended on which bytes happened to be in it is not a contract
anyone can hold. Odin answered the same question the same way:
tokenizer.odin allocates nothing, parser.odin's unquote_string does the
copy, and it clones in the no-escape branch too.

What that buys is at the bottom of test/programs/json.flan, which is
programs/edn.flan and programs/arena-edn.flan in one file because for
JSON they are one claim. The source buffer is overwritten with `?` bytes
while the document is live and the strings read back afterwards are
still the strings. arena-edn's header has a section admitting it cannot
do that.

Strict JSON and not Odin's JSON5 default, and the difference is where
most of the refusals come from: comments, single quotes, +1, .5, 1.,
0x1f, 01, NaN, Infinity and unquoted keys each get a sentence naming the
dialect they belong to, rather than one shared unexpected-byte. A lone
surrogate is refused too, and that one is forced rather than chosen —
rune-size answers None for the whole D800-DFFF block, so encode-rune!
would write nothing and the character would vanish.

(* The corpus a second time, under AddressSanitizer and
UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer.
Not part of [dune test] and deliberately so: a sanitized build of one
program is a 1.8MB statically linked binary and takes ten to twenty seconds
to produce, so the sweep is minutes where the whole existing suite is
seconds. It has its own alias.
dune build --root . @sanitize
What this can and cannot see is written down in [Build.opts] and in
[Emit]'s [sanitize] comment, and it is not symmetric:
- ASan reaches Flan code, but only because [Emit] puts [sanitize_address]
on every function it defines; the attribute is what the pass selects on
and hand-written IR has none by default. The positive control for that is
[oob], below, which must report.
- UBSan reaches the runtime's C and nothing else. Its checks are branches
clang's *frontend* emits, and no attribute asks an LLVM pass to produce
them, so the shift-past-the-width and float-cast questions this sweep was
partly meant to answer are not answerable this way. [shift] records that
as a test rather than as a paragraph: it is a program with unambiguous
shift UB in it, and it is expected *not* to be caught.
The check is two-sided. A marker in the sanitized run's output is a
failure, and so is any divergence from the unsanitized run — same output,
same exit status. The second half is not redundant: UBSan recovers by
default, so a program can trip a check, carry on with a different value and
still exit 0, and several of these programs exit nonzero by design, so
"exit status 0" is not available as a pass condition. *)

- raylib-*, and the windowed examples, because raylib and libm are not
instrumented and every report through them would be about somebody
else's code.
- break.flan and agent.flan, which stop in the break loop and wait for an
editor to connect. They are covered by test_agent against a real daemon.
- the dev-* and reload-* programs, which need a host process or a dlopen
harness. The reload path is half-covered at best in any case: a
redefinition module is built by llc and ld, not by clang, so nothing
instruments it — one more thing this sweep does not prove.
- nth-gone, pkg-hidden-main, pkg-two-aliases, pkg-two-mains, pkg-cycle,
which are negative cases and are expected not to compile.

cases are where the ASan-without-bounds-checks question lives and they

(* The variant the checked build cannot ask for: with Flan's own bounds checks
off, is ASan enough on its own? bounds.flan is the program to ask it with —
every one of its selectors is a deliberate out-of-bounds access, and in a
checked build every one of them traps.
The answer is no, and it is worth having the shape of the no. [reports]
holds the cases ASan catches; the rest are listed with why it does not, and
they are printed rather than asserted, because a future LLVM that folds
differently would change them and that is information, not a regression.
[9] is the one that is not about ASan at all: at -O2 the access never
happens. The index is out of bounds on an [inbounds] getelementptr into a
string constant, so the whole load folds to zero and the program prints a
wrong answer instead of touching a redzone. At -O0, with the load still in
the program, ASan reports it. That divergence is why [--sanitize] does not
force -O0 the way [--debug] does — the optimiser is half of what is being
measured. *)

code a checker question and not a sanitizer one. The checker \
