Selfhosting Dev c8063c9e41 pyvm: split op handlers into ops_core/ops_box/ops_ctrl; add ops_flow + intrinsic; delegate vm.py without behavior change
net-plugin: modularize constants (consts.rs) and sockets (sockets.rs); remove legacy commented socket code; fix unused imports
mir: move instruction unit tests to tests/mir_instruction_unit.rs (file lean-up); no semantic changes
runner/pyvm: ensure using pre-strip; misc docs updates

Build: cargo build ok; legacy cfg warnings remain as before

Nyash Constraints & Temporary Limitations

This is a living index of known constraints. Each entry includes status and references to tests and code. Update this file when a constraint is added or lifted.

Legend

  • Status: Stable | Temporary | Resolved | Experimental
  • Impact: VM / LLVM / PyVM / Macro / Parser

Entries

CF-JOIN-0001 — If-join PHI variables limit

  • Status: Resolved
  • Summary: If-join used to effectively handle at most two samename variable assignments per join when emitting PHI groups.
  • Impact: LLVM harness (PHI wiring)
  • Fix: FinalizePHI wiring + join result observation; normalized to handle N variables.
  • Tests: tools/test/smoke/llvm/ir_phi_hygiene_if_phi_ret.sh, tools/test/smoke/mir/hints_join_result_three_vars_smoke.sh
  • Notes: Keep IR hygiene smokes minimal in CI; more exhaustive coverage can run locally.

CF-PHI-0002 — Empty PHI sanitize switch

  • Status: Temporary
  • Summary: Textlevel sanitizer drops empty PHI rows before LLVM parse.
  • Impact: LLVM harness only
  • Gate: NYASH_LLVM_SANITIZE_EMPTY_PHI=1
  • Exit criteria: PHI wiring guarantees no empty PHIs across Loop/If/Match; remove sanitize path.
  • Tests: tools/test/smoke/llvm/ir_phi_empty_check.sh

CF-LOOP-0006 — Nested bare blocks with break/continue in loops

  • Status: Resolved
  • Summary: Previously, a break/continue inside a nested bare block ({ ... }) within a loop could bypass loop-aware lowering in certain cases.
  • Impact: MIR builder (LoopBuilder vs generic block handling)
  • Fix: LoopBuilder now lowers Program nodes by recursing through statements with termination checks; break/continue inside nested blocks route to the loop header/exit uniformly.
  • Tests: tools/test/smoke/macro/loop_nested_block_break_output_smoke.sh

CF-MATCH-0003 — Scrutinee single evaluation

  • Status: Stable
  • Summary: Scrutinee is evaluated once and stored in a gensym (e.g., __ny_match_scrutinee_X).
  • Impact: Parser/Normalizer/All backends
  • Tests: tools/test/golden/macro/match_literal_basic.expanded.json, output smokes under tools/test/smoke/macro/.
  • Notes: Golden comparison may normalize gensym names in the future to reduce brittleness.

EXC-PFX-0004 — Postfix catch/cleanup precedence

  • Status: Stable (Stage3 gate for parser acceptance)
  • Summary: Postfix attaches to the immediately preceding expression (call/chain) and stops further chaining. Normalizes to a single TryCatch.
  • Impact: Parser/Normalizer/All backends
  • Gate: NYASH_PARSER_STAGE3=1 (direct parsing); NYASH_CATCH_NEW=1 (sugar normalization)
  • Tests: tools/test/smoke/macro/expr_postfix_catch_cleanup_output_smoke.sh, tools/test/smoke/mir/hints_scope_trycatch_smoke.sh, src/tests/parser_expr_postfix_catch.rs

MACRO-CAPS-0005 — Macro sandbox capabilities (io/net/env)

  • Status: Stable MVP
  • Summary: Macro child runs in a sandbox. Only minimal boxes and console externs allowed. IO/NET require caps; env access controlled via ctx/env.
  • Impact: PyVM macro child / Macro runner
  • Env: NYASH_MACRO_CAP_{IO,NET,ENV}; NYASH_MACRO_SANDBOX=1
  • Tests: macro goldens/smokes; envtag demo (tools/test/golden/macro/env_tag_string_user_macro_golden.sh)
