Phase T1 (`AS`) is complete, committed, and verified — all four `.S` files in the OS now assemble correctly through our own assembler, boot fully in QEMU, and I caught three real bugs by testing against actual boots rather than just checking that it parsed. That took ~1700 lines and three genuine correctness bugs to shake out, for what's the *simplest* of the four tools. The remaining phases step up sharply in difficulty: - **T2/T4 (CC)** — an actual C compiler (lexer, preprocessor, parser, x86-32 codegen, calling conventions) is a qualitatively harder problem than an assembler, with subtler failure modes. - **T5 (LD)** — a real ELF linker with relocation resolution. - **T3** — touches the tested kernel source (removing inline asm, compound literals) that's been stable since Phase 3. Given the jump in scope and risk from here, I'll pause at this checkpoint rather than push straight into the compiler unprompted. Want me to continue on to Phase T2 (CC front end), or would you like to check in on anything first — e.g. review the `AS` code, adjust scope for the remaining phases, or reprioritize?

Let me tackle this in order: lexer → preprocessor → type system/parser → codegen/builtins, testing incrementally. Starting with the C lexer.

I have a gap: array bounds in this codebase include computed macro constants (e.g. `TINYFS_INODE_BLOCK` expands to `(1 + 1)`, not a single literal), so I need real constant-expression evaluation for array sizes, not just grabbing one token. Let me add that now before writing expressions.

Codegen will need many instruction forms `AS` doesn't support yet (register-register ops, `imul`/`idiv`, `setcc`, `lea`, 32-bit direct-address globals, EBP-relative locals). Let me extend `AS`'s encoder first, since codegen depends on it.

This requires care — my existing `mov`/arithmetic handlers for bare-label memory operands don't check `bits`, so they'd silently mis-encode 32-bit label references using 16-bit disp16 logic. Let me read the full current encoder and extend it carefully.

Given the scope of changes needed, I'll do a careful full rewrite of `encode.c` — preserving every existing case (now explicitly gated to `bits==16` where that was implicitly assumed) and adding the new 32-bit generic machinery.

Found another real bug — `encode_rm32` had no case for a general register base (like `[ebx]`); it fell through to the "bare label, disp32-direct" branch, silently corrupting the address. Let me fix this properly.

I wrote several bugs into codegen.c (ordering bug in compound-assign, unnecessary `xchg` that AS doesn't support, broken extern-declaration loop, missing string-literal emission, fragile `for`-init handling). Let me fix AS first (need `shl/shr` by CL), then rewrite the broken parts of codegen.c.

I have a real structural bug — `walk_collect` emits string-literal bytes immediately during the extern-collection pass, before any `section` directive exists, corrupting the output. Let me fix by collecting first, emitting at the right point.

Another bug: the `_start` code for host target got placed after the `.rodata` section switch, so it would land in `.rodata` instead of `.text`. Fixing the ordering:

Found it — a real bug in `elf_writer.c`: symbol `st_shndx` was computed as `1 + section_kind_enum`, which assumes all four section types are always present in a fixed order. Since this file has no `.data` section, `.bss` actually lands at ELF section index 2, not 3. Let me fix it to use the actual assigned index.

Found the real bug: struct member offsets are computed lazily inside `type_size()`, but nothing calls `type_size()` at struct-definition time — so `find_member()` during parsing sees all-zero offsets until something incidentally triggers layout computation. Let me fix by forcing eager layout computation right when a struct is fully parsed.

1	# Self-hosted toolchain
2	
3	`toolchain/` replaces `nasm`/`gcc`/`ld`/`objcopy` with our own tools, so
4	the OS build depends on external infrastructure only once - to bootstrap
5	the toolchain itself from source (see [Bootstrap](#bootstrap) below).
6	`qemu-system-i386` stays external; it's the machine we run on, not part
7	of what builds for it.
8	
9	## AS (assembler)
10	
11	NASM-syntax-compatible, but deliberately scoped to exactly the
12	instruction/directive/operand forms the four `.S` files in this repo use
13	- not general x86 or general NASM compatibility. Extending this list is
14	  expected if a future `.S` file needs more; it is not meant to be
15	  exhaustive of x86.
16	
17	No macro preprocessor (`%macro`/`%rep`/`%assign`/`%+`) - the one place
18	that used one (`kernel/idt_stubs.S`) was hand-expanded instead.
19	
20	### Directives
21	
22	`BITS 16` / `BITS 32` (a file may switch modes partway through, as
23	`stage2.S` does for the real-mode -> protected-mode transition), `ORG`,
24	`EQU` (constant expressions, including label arithmetic like
25	`gdt_end - gdt_start`), `section NAME`, `global NAME`, `extern NAME`,
26	`align N`, `times EXPR db|dw|dd|dq ...`, `db`/`dw`/`dd`/`dq` (each
27	accepting a comma-separated list of immediate/string/expression values),
28	`resb N`.
29	
30	### Expressions
31	
32	Decimal and `0x`-hex integer literals, binary literals with a `b` suffix
33	(`10011010b`), the current-position pseudo-symbols `$` (this address) and
34	`$$` (start of the current section/file), label references, and `+ - * /
35	>> <<` with parentheses. Must constant-fold at assemble time for `EQU`,
36	`times`, and data-directive values; may instead resolve to a relocation
37	when used as an instruction operand referencing a symbol whose final
38	address isn't known until link time (see [relocations](#relocations)).
39	
40	### Labels
41	
42	Global labels (`name:`) and NASM-style local labels (`.name:`, scoped to
43	the most recent preceding global label - `.hang`, `.loop`, etc. appear
44	identically named in multiple places across these files and must not
45	collide).
46	
47	### Instructions
48	
49	Every mnemonic/operand-form pair actually used, grouped by kind:
50	
51	- **Data movement**: `mov` between 8/16/32-bit registers, segment
52	  registers (`ds`/`es`/`fs`/`gs`/`ss`), memory (`[label]`, `[label +
53	  disp]`, `[reg]`, `[reg+disp]`), and immediates/constant-expressions,
54	  with explicit `byte`/`word`/`dword` size overrides where the operand
55	  size isn't otherwise inferable; `movzx` (16->32 zero-extend);
56	  `push`/`pop` (16/32-bit register); `pusha`/`popa`; `lodsb`.
57	- **Arithmetic/logic**: `add`, `sub`, `cmp`, `or`, `xor`, `shl` - register
58	  or memory destination, register/immediate source.
59	- **Control flow**: `jmp` (near, to a label or a bare absolute address
60	  constant; far, `SEG:offset` with an immediate/EQU segment and a label
61	  offset), `call` (near, to a label), `ret`, `je`/`jz`/`jc`/`jbe`
62	  (near, to a label).
63	- **I/O and privileged**: `in`/`out` (`al`/`ax` with an 8-bit immediate
64	  port or `dx`), `int` (immediate vector), `cli`, `hlt`, `lgdt [label]`,
65	  `mov` to/from `cr0`.
66	- **String/prefix**: `cld`, `rep stosb`.
67	
68	### Output formats
69	
70	- `-f bin`: one flat byte stream at the file's `ORG` address (our `.S`
71	  files needing this mode never declare `section`, so there's no
72	  section-merging logic to speak of - just linear emission).
73	- `-f elf32`: a relocatable ELF32 object with real sections
74	  (`.text`/`.text.entry`/`.data`/`.bss`), a symbol table (globals from
75	  `global`, undefined externs from `extern`), and relocations for
76	  anything not resolvable within the same section of the same file at
77	  assemble time.
78	
79	### Relocations
80	
81	Same-section, same-file references (e.g. `jmp .hang`, `jmp isr_common`)
82	are resolved directly by `AS` as fixed relative offsets - no relocation
83	entry needed, same as any assembler does internally. A relocation is
84	emitted only when the target's final address isn't known until link
85	time: `R_386_PC32` for relative `call`/`jmp` to an `extern` symbol
86	(`call kmain`, `call isr_handler`), `R_386_32` for an absolute address
87	used as data or an immediate where the symbol lives in a different
88	section or is `extern` (`kernel/idt_stubs.S`'s `isr_stub_table`, which is
89	in `.data` and holds the absolute addresses of `.text` labels;
90	`kernel/entry.S`'s `mov edi, _bss_start`, where `_bss_start`/`_bss_end`
91	are defined by `LD`'s linker-script-equivalent layout logic, not by any
92	`.S`/`.c` file - see `LD`'s docs section once written).
93

96	`AS` deliberately never chooses a shorter jump encoding the way NASM's
97	optimizer does (`jmp`/`jcc` always use the fixed-size near form, never
98	`EB`/short-`rel8`) - this keeps the encoder simple at the cost of
99	slightly larger code, so its output for `boot.S`/`stage2.S` is *not*
100	byte-identical to NASM's. Verification is therefore functional rather
101	than a byte diff: all four `.S` files (`boot.S`, `stage2.S` via `-f bin`;
102	`entry.S`, `idt_stubs.S` via `-f elf32`, linked with GNU `ld` as an
103	interim step until `LD` exists in Phase T5) were assembled with `AS` and
104	the resulting kernel boots to a working shell with `SELFTEST PASS` in
105	QEMU - the same bar `tools/run_tests.sh` holds the rest of the OS to.
106	The `-f elf32` relocations were additionally spot-checked directly:
107	`isr_stub_table`'s `R_386_32`-relocated entries resolve to exactly the
108	linked `isr_stub_N` symbols' addresses (verified via `nm`/`objdump`).

+ ### Instructions
+ 
+ Every mnemonic/operand-form pair actually used, grouped by kind. The
+ original set (needed by the four hand-written `.S` files, all 16-bit
+ real-mode or the small fixed 32-bit sequences in `entry.S`/`idt_stubs.S`)
+ and the set CC's codegen added in Phase T4 (general 32-bit reg/mem forms)
+ are both listed together here since they share one encoder
+ (`toolchain/as/encode.c`), gated by addressing mode (`[esp+disp]` via
+ SIB, `[ebp+disp]` always as the disp32 form since `mod=00,rm=101` means
+ "disp32-direct, no base" rather than "EBP with no displacement", `[reg]`
+ for any other general register, `[label(+disp)]` as 32-bit disp32-direct
+ - see [relocations](#relocations)) rather than by which file originally
+ needed them:
+ 
+ - **Data movement**: `mov` between 8/16/32-bit registers, segment
+   registers (`ds`/`es`/`fs`/`gs`/`ss`), memory, and immediates/constant-
+   expressions, with explicit `byte`/`word`/`dword` size overrides where
+   the operand size isn't otherwise inferable; `movzx` (8/16 -> 32
+   zero-extend, register or memory source); `lea`; `push`/`pop` (16/32-bit
+   register, or an imm32); `pusha`/`popa`; `lodsb`.
+ - **Arithmetic/logic**: `add`, `sub`, `and`, `or`, `xor`, `cmp` (reg/mem
+   destination, reg/mem/imm source), `imul` (two-operand, `r32, r/m32`),
+   `idiv`/`cdq`, `not`/`neg`, `shl`/`shr` (by an imm8 or by `cl`).
+ - **Comparison results**: `sete`/`setne`/`setl`/`setle`/`setg`/`setge`
+   (r/m8 destination - CC always follows one with `movzx` back to 32-bit).
+ - **Control flow**: `jmp` (near, to a label or a bare absolute address
+   constant; far, `SEG:offset` with an immediate/EQU segment and a label
+   offset), `call` (near, to a label), `ret`, the full signed/unsigned-
+   agnostic conditional jump set CC needs (`je`/`jz`/`jne`/`jc`/`jbe`/
+   `jl`/`jle`/`jg`/`jge`), all near-to-a-label.
+ - **I/O and privileged**: `in`/`out` (`al`/`ax` with an 8-bit immediate
+   port or `dx`), `int` (immediate vector), `cli`, `hlt`, `lgdt`/`lidt`
+   (`[label]` or `[reg]`), `mov` to/from `cr0`.

- ## CC, LD, OBJCOPY
- 
- Documented as each phase lands - see the plan
- (`docs/toolchain.md` grows alongside `toolchain/cc`, `toolchain/ld`,
- `toolchain/objcopy`).
+ ## CC (compiler)
+ 
+ `toolchain/cc`: preprocessor + lexer + parser + naive x86-32 codegen for
+ "tinyC" - a scoped C dialect, not general C89/C99. Emits `AS`-syntax
+ assembly text (mirrors `gcc -S | as`); two targets selected by
+ `--target=kernel` (freestanding, no runtime) or `--target=host` (adds a
+ `_start` that calls `main` then exits via a raw syscall). Native host
+ tool, not OS code.
+ 
+ ### Preprocessor
+ 
+ `#include` (quote form searches the including file's directory first,
+ then falls back to `-I` search paths, exactly reproducing the trick
+ `kernel/fs/tinyfs.c` relies on to pick kernel vs. host `string.h`; angle
+ form searches only `-I` paths, using dedicated header-name lexing since
+ `<foo.h>` isn't a normal token), `#pragma once` (dedup by resolved path),
+ and simple **object-like** `#define` with recursive constant
+ substitution (one level of nested macro expansion, e.g.
+ `TINYFS_INODE_BLOCK` expanding to `(TINYFS_BITMAP_BLOCK + 1)` whose own
+ pieces also expand) - no function-like macros, no `#ifdef`/`#if`, since
+ nothing in this codebase uses them.
+ 
+ ### Types
+ 
+ `void`, `char`, `short`, `int` (no `long`/`long long` - nothing in this
+ codebase needs a type wider than 32 bits, which keeps the type-specifier
+ grammar smaller), `signed`/`unsigned`, pointers, arrays, `struct`/
+ `union`/`enum`, function types (including function-pointer typedefs -
+ `typedef void (*fn_t)(int);` - the one parenthesized declarator form
+ supported; arbitrary nested declarators like pointer-to-array aren't,
+ since nothing here needs them), `typedef`. `const`/`volatile`/`inline`
+ are parsed and ignored; `static`/`extern` affect linkage
+ (`global`/no-`global` in the emitted asm) and, for locals, storage
+ (stack frame vs. a dedicated `.data`/`.bss` label). `char` always behaves
+ as unsigned (zero-extending loads) - simpler than tracking C's
+ implementation-defined signedness, and nothing here relies on a
+ negative `char`. `__attribute__((packed))` on a struct/union removes all
+ inter-member padding.
+ 
+ Struct/union layout is computed *eagerly*, the moment a definition's `}`
+ (and any trailing `__attribute__`) is parsed, not lazily on first
+ `sizeof`/use - `.`/`->` member lookups elsewhere in the file need real
+ offsets immediately, and nothing else was guaranteed to trigger layout
+ first (a real bug caught by `tests/toolchain/t05_structs.c`: struct
+ member access silently used offset 0 for every member until whatever
+ first called `sizeof` on that type - see the fix in `parser.c`).
+ 
+ ### Expressions/statements
+ 
+ The full standard precedence chain (assignment/compound-assignment,
+ ternary, `||`/`&&` short-circuit, bitwise, equality, relational, shift,
+ additive, multiplicative, unary, postfix), `sizeof` (type or expression),
+ casts, pointer/array indexing and address-of/dereference (array indexing
+ is lowered directly to `*(arr + idx)` in the parser, so codegen never
+ needs a separate indexing case), struct member access (`.`/`->`),
+ function calls. `if`/`else`, `while`, `do`/`while`, `for`, `return`,
+ `break`/`continue`, blocks. No `switch`, no `goto`/labels, no comma
+ operator, no variadic functions, no K&R-style declarations - unused
+ anywhere in this codebase.
+ 
+ Brace initializer lists (`{1, 2, 3}`) are only supported for globals/
+ `static` locals (compile-time-constant `.data` bytes) - this codebase
+ never brace-initializes a plain stack local, only scalars, so codegen
+ never needs to lower a brace list into runtime store instructions.
+ Compound literals (`(type){...}`) and designated initializers
+ (`[i] = x`, `.field = x`) aren't supported at all - the two call sites
+ that used them (`kernel/lang/script/eval.c`, `kernel/lang/compiler/
+ codegen.c`) get refactored to avoid them in Phase T3, a deliberate
+ scope-narrowing decision (see the plan) rather than an oversight.
+ 
+ ### Codegen
+ 
+ Naive and non-optimizing on purpose (see the plan's Phase T4 entry):
+ every expression's result lives in `EAX`; a binary operator evaluates
+ its right operand first and `push`es it, then its left operand into
+ `EAX`, then `pop`s the right operand into `ECX` and combines - no
+ register allocation, values spill to the real machine stack between
+ every sub-expression. cdecl calling convention (caller pushes args
+ right-to-left, callee's `EBP+8`/`+12`/... for params, return value in
+ `EAX`, caller cleans up the pushed args). Locals live at fixed `EBP`-
+ relative offsets assigned as their declarations are parsed; every slot
+ is a 4-byte-aligned minimum of 4 bytes regardless of the C type's actual
+ size (simplicity over density). `static` locals get their own unique
+ `.data`/`.bss` label instead of a stack slot, exactly like globals.
+ 
+ ### Builtins (`builtins.c`)
+ 
+ Fixed instruction sequences in place of a general GCC-extended-inline-
+ asm parser - the kernel's actual inline-asm usage reduces to exactly
+ these operations (see the plan's research notes). Recognized by name at
+ a call site, in place of an ordinary `call`; arguments are evaluated
+ through the normal expression codegen first, then moved into whatever
+ fixed registers the underlying instruction needs:
+ 
+ | builtin | x86 |
+ |---|---|
+ | `__builtin_inb(port)` / `__builtin_outb(port, val)` | `in al, dx` / `out dx, al` |
+ | `__builtin_inw(port)` / `__builtin_outw(port, val)` | `in ax, dx` / `out dx, ax` |
+ | `__builtin_hlt()` | `hlt` |
+ | `__builtin_lidt(ptr)` | `lidt [ptr]` |
+ | `__builtin_gdt_flush(ptr)` | `lgdt` + reload every data/stack segment to selector `0x10` + far-jump to selector `0x08` to reload `CS` - the one sequence that inherently can't be a single instruction, needs a fresh label per call site (own counter, `.Lbi` prefix so it never collides with codegen's own `.L` control-flow labels) |
+ | `__sys_open/read/write/lseek/close/exit` | raw `int 0x80` Linux x86-32 syscalls, host target only - see [Bootstrap](#bootstrap) for why host tools are libc-free |
+ 
+ ### Verification
+ 
+ `tests/toolchain/*.c` + `tools/run_toolchain_tests.sh`: each fixture
+ compiles through `CC --target=host` + `AS`, links with GNU `ld` (interim,
+ until `LD` exists in Phase T5), runs directly, and checks its exit code
+ - fast host-side iteration covering arithmetic, control flow, recursion,
+ pointers/arrays, structs/unions/packed layout, and function pointers.
+ Three real bugs were caught this way (not just compile-clean, actually
+ wrong-answer or crashing): the eager-struct-layout bug above; a missing
+ `[reg]`/`[reg+disp]` addressing case in `AS`'s generic 32-bit encoder
+ (fell through to the "bare label" case, corrupting the address - caught
+ by a standalone `AS` extension smoke test before CC even ran through
+ it); and an ELF symbol table bug where a defined symbol's section index
+ was computed as a fixed offset from its internal `section_kind_t`
+ instead of the section's *actual* assigned ELF header index - wrong the
+ moment a file didn't use all four section kinds in order (e.g. `.bss`
+ with no `.data`), silently pointing every reference at the wrong
+ section and segfaulting at run time.
+ 
+ Kernel-target builtins (port I/O, `hlt`) can't run on the host, so
+ they're verified separately: a small kernel-target program that polls
+ COM1's line-status register and writes bytes via `__builtin_inb`/
+ `__builtin_outb`, linked with the *real* `kernel/entry.S` and booted
+ through the *real* `boot.S`/`stage2.S` in QEMU, printed its expected
+ output over serial.
+ 
+ ## LD, OBJCOPY
+ 
+ Not yet built - Phases T5/T6. Everything so far links with GNU `ld` and
+ extracts with GNU `objcopy` as an interim step.
