Joseph Ferano 81b807f544 A rendered number goes in the caller's frame, not in one buffer for the process
Every number-to-text conversion wrote into one file-static in the runtime and
answered a slice over it, and nothing copied. Two of them in one expression
printed the second number twice — no crash, no diagnostic, and nothing a
sanitizer could find, because every byte read was inside an object that was
alive. The wrong object.

The buffer is now the caller's, one frame slot per call site. The slot is
allocated in the checker rather than in either backend: a slot is a
function-lifetime location in both of them, where an x86 backend temporary is
bump-allocated and reclaimed at the end of the expression that made it — which
is the one lifetime a returned slice must outlive. Each backend gains one
pointer argument and no reasoning of its own, which is what keeps them
symmetric.

The static is gone rather than left unused, since a buffer with nothing but a
comment beside it is a loaded gun. What remains is the ordinary lifetime a
pointer into a frame has: storing one of these slices in a container that
outlives the frame, or returning it, is still a copy the caller has to make.
NEXT.md's sharp edge now says that instead of what it used to say.

(** Typed IR → LLVM IR, as text.
Text rather than libLLVM bindings, for the reasons in plan.org: the build
dependency is a clang on PATH instead of a version-pinned libLLVM with C++
linkage, the output is readable when something is wrong, and an LLVM
upgrade does not break the compiler. The only thing text loses is the
in-process JIT, and that was measured at ~13ms — below perception.
Layout — this is the whole of it, and it is deliberately C's:
{v
i8..i64 / u8..u64 i8..i64 signedness lives in the ops
f32 f64 float double
bool i1
[T] and string { ptr, i64 } ptr+len, non-owning
[n T] [n x T] inline, a value
(Ptr T) ptr opaque pointers
(Option T) { i8, T } tag 0 None, 1 Some
a struct a literal struct in declaration order
Unit and Never {} zero-sized, one value
v}
No object headers anywhere, which is the consequence that drives everything
(plan.org, Memory) — a Flan struct is exactly its C struct.
Two things fall out of the layout and are load-bearing:
- Every slot is an [alloca], so reading a local is a [load] and assigning is
a [store]. Aggregates are SSA values in LLVM, so a [store] of a struct or
a fixed array *is* the copy that spec-memory.md requires on assignment,
and a slice copies its view for the same reason. [addr] of a local is then
just the alloca. [mem2reg] removes the ones nobody took the address of.
- A place lowers to a pointer and a value to a load from it, which is the
split the interpreter would have had to make by hand: [(set (.pos c) ...)]
through a [(Ptr Cursor)] becomes a [getelementptr] on the pointer, not on
a copy of the struct. *)

(* -- Layout ----------------------------------------------------------
DWARF wants member offsets as integer literals: [!DIDerivedType(tag:
DW_TAG_member, offset: N)] takes a constant and nothing else, so the
[ptrtoint (ptr getelementptr ...)] form this file uses elsewhere for a size
is not accepted there and these have to be computed. That makes this the one
place in the backend where a layout number is worked out rather than handed
to LLVM, and it is exactly where a wrong answer shows up as a plausible
value printed for the wrong field. So the acceptance test checks every
offset against LLVM's own [getelementptr] answer for the same struct type,
not against a table written by the same hand as the code.
The rules are C's, which is what LLVM gives a non-packed literal struct:
natural alignment, each member at the next aligned offset, tail padding out
to the struct's own alignment. The numbers are the host's -- [ptr] is 8
bytes -- which is why [Build] refuses a debug build for wasm32. *)

the negative and the too-large case in a single test.

(* ── Arithmetic with no answer ─────────────────────────────────────────
Three situations that had no defined behaviour until now, and they share a
helper for the same reason the two bounds checks share one: they are one
condition, ArithError, and a handler should write one clause and not five.
The shape is [signal_block]'s and not [fail_block]'s, so an answered
failure leaves through the innermost pad and runs the defers on its way
out, exactly as an answered bad index does.
The thing worth knowing about the divide guard is that it is a branch
*before* the instruction rather than anything after it. A SIGFPE cannot be
caught and resumed, so there is no version of this that tests afterwards;
the branch is the price of the operation having a defined behaviour at all,
not the price of that behaviour being a condition. Which is also why the
overflow test rides along for nearly nothing: the zero test has already
put a compare and a branch on the path, and (/ min -1) is two more compares
folded into the same one. *)

(* (slice-from-ptr p n): the two words a %slice already is, with the pointer
the caller handed over and the length the caller promised. No new
representation — a Slice _ is {ptr, i64} here and in x86.ml, which is
exactly ptr+len, so this is an insertvalue pair and no more.
The check is the *length itself*, not a range: there is nothing to compare
it against, because the only thing that knows how many elements live
behind that pointer is the caller. So what is checked is the one half that
can be — that the promise is not absurd. It is signed, and it has to be:
[check_slice]'s comparisons are unsigned, and a negative i32 sign-extended
to i64 is a huge unsigned value that [ule] waves straight through.
It goes through [signal_block] for the reason the other two bounds checks
do — a bad length signals BoundsError and is answerable — and behind
[f.md.checks] for the reason they are: dropping bounds checks is a release
decision, not an optimisation one, so this is on at -O0 and -O2 alike and
off only when checks as a whole were asked off.
It has its own runtime function, @flan_slice_promise_error, and that is
the whole of what it needed. It used to borrow @flan_slice_error — the
violated condition is 0 <= n, which is a reversed range spelled the other
way — and the sentence that came out named a range and a length the
caller never wrote. Since this is the one form whose real condition the
compiler cannot check, its refusal is the place the caller's promise has
to be stated, and it was the one place it was not. The signalled
BoundsError is unchanged: same three fields, so a handler writes one
clause for every bad index in the language. *)

[macros] names the functions that also get a thunk. It is a list of names
and not a flag because a macro module carries the whole prelude with it —
only the handful of functions that were written [defmacro] are reachable
from outside.
[hidden] takes every Flan definition in the module out of the dynamic symbol
table, and it exists for the one build that is dlopened into a process that
already has Flan in it: the macro module, loaded into [flan dev]'s merged
binary. That binary is the program *and* the compiler, linked [-rdynamic] so
a redefinition module can reach its cells, and [-rdynamic] exports every
[flan.*] body it has. ELF gives an executable precedence over a shared
object, so without this the macro module's own copy of a prelude function is
interposed by the host's — and the two copies are not interchangeable. Twice
measured, in two different ways:
- The host's [flan.rl/with-drawing] is the package's [defmacro] compiled as
an ordinary function, whose body was qualified at the [Ast] level after
the quasiquote had already become a string literal. Expanding through the
host's copy produced an unqualified [begin-drawing] the checker refused.
- Under [flan dev --x86] the host's bodies are the dev backend's and the
macro module's caller is LLVM's, which is the crossed pair: a SIGSEGV
inside [flan.\[clamp\]] during the first expansion, before the program had
started.
The thunks stay at default visibility, because [dlsym] is how the compiler
reaches them and a hidden symbol is not in the table it searches. Nothing
else in the module is anybody's to call. The C the module links — the
runtime, the shims — is untouched by this and goes on binding to the host's
copy where there is one, which is what keeps [flan_exit_hook] the merged
build installed in reach of a trap raised inside an expansion. *)

code path either way.
The difference from [program] is almost entirely in what this module *does
not* define:
- a global the host has is [external]. Defining it would give the loaded
object a second copy, and the whole point of reloading into a live process
is that the state survives: sand's grid is a global, and "edit the code,
keep the sand" is the demo. So a redefinition can change a function's body
and can never re-initialise the program's data.
- a function the host has is reached through its cell, which is the host's
symbol, so a redefined [settle] calls whatever [move-grain] is current
rather than carrying a private copy of it.
- there is no [main]; this module is loaded, not started.
A name the host does *not* have is the case ELF cannot express, since there
is no symbol to bind to and no way to grow one. Those go through
[flan_dev_cell] / [flan_dev_global], keyed by string, resolved once at
install time into a module-local slot. See runtime/flan_dev.c.
String literals still have to come along: they are this module's own
constants, and omitting them is an undefined [@.str.N] at link time. *)

the same bargain every redefinition already makes. *)
(* [retains = false] is a caller saying it knows where every literal in
this module goes. The [m.nstr] test below is a conservative stand-in
for that — an expression may store a string literal anywhere it likes,
and a global left pointing into an unmapped image is silent garbage
rather than a fault. A locals thunk is the case where the answer is
known: every literal it emits goes to [flan_dev_emit], which memcpys
into the result buffer, so nothing outside the module holds an address
inside it once the call has returned. Without this, clicking through
the frames of a break loop costs a permanent mapping per click. *)
