growable arrays already check (`dat`, `range_jz`, the `outside` enhancement, `proven()` removing checks a loop test already did). fixed arrays `T[n]` with a variable index get the same inline check against the constant `n`. pointers get a runtime call (for example `rt.bchk(p, i)`) that checks only when `p` is the start of a live heap block (header check word `p ^ MAGIC`, `paylen`), skipping constant index 0 and sizes the analyzer knows (`lnsz`). reports go through `oob`. the runtime, core, compiler parts, server, `run.zc` and `build.zc` start with `unbounded;`, which zc0 accepts and ignores (genome bytes unchanged). keep std, icon and actor checked unless a function touches raw memory on purpose. measure interpreter time before and after. - [ ] after the fuzzing work, add more general functionality to the standard library. - [ ] (partly done, see "agent work at the end of the session") struct destructors: a struct may declare `fn drop()`, called wherever the compiler frees an owned value of that type, before the memory is released. architecture: the compiler frees owned locals in `freevar` (analyzer part), called from `exit_vars`, reassignment and explicit `rt.free`/`rt.recycle` calls (`s_free`, `s_recycle` handling in the call code); when the local's static type is a pointer to a struct with a `Name.drop` method, emit a call to it first. objects freed by the collector or inside unchecked code do not run `drop`: document that. first users: file descriptors in `std.Host`, processes in `actor.zc`. -- [ ] (partly done, see "agent work at the end of the session") runtime source positions. architecture: at each statement start (`stmt()`) record (code address `here`, line);

return s + i; }` makes `let r = skip(t); rt.free(t); r[0]` an error. the gap: when the call comes before the callee's definition, nothing is reported and the program reads freed memory. extend the deferred effect requirements (`effect_require`, `effect_finish` at unit end) so a forward-called function whose return turns out to alias a parameter produces the same error. for bodyless declarations, externs and function types, add an unobtrusive spelling, for example a `borrows s` clause after the parameter list (`char* skip(char* s) borrows s;`), checked against the body when one exists. - [ ] variadic arguments and `std.print`. design: a pack is passed as one hidden argument, a caller-built read-only growable-array handle (`fixed T[?]` view: [len, cap, items, element size] in the caller's frame, so `len(a)` and `a[i]` work unchanged and nothing is allocated). `...int a` is a typed pack; several packs per function when their element types differ (`void f(...int a, ...char b)`): each extra argument goes to the pack whose element type matches its static type, an ambiguous match is an error, packs come after the fixed parameters. `...any args` packs each value with a kind code (int, float, char, string, bstr, pointer, ...) and its type record: `any` is a small built-in record { kind, value, type }. `...*any args` makes the call comma-free: after the fixed arguments, the parser reads unary expressions until `)`, commas optional, so `std.print("x = " name ", age " age "\n");` works and binary expressions must be parenthesized. `std.print(...*any args)` prints each argument by its kind (`put_n`, the float printer, `put_s`, `put_bs`, a character for `char`, hex for pointers). - [ ] x86-64 jit phase 2: compile o3 regions to x86-64 (port `rcompile` and the region register allocation; regions now run on the region interpreter and are 2 to 4 times slower than their plain versions on this jit) and inline enhancements (lower the optimized micro-ops to x86 registers as the arm64 path does, instead of calling `xrun`). validate with `tests/drivers/jit_x64_test.sh` and `tests/bench/bench.sh`, which now has an x86-64 jit column. add the driver to `tests/test.sh` on x86-64 linux. -- cgit v1.2.3
