Structural inference (2a) covers cyclic classes; this adds the DEMAND half for the acyclic-but-aliased case, so @gc is now redundant everywhere. - owner.ml: a `promote` sink on ctx. In collect mode, a class value that would raise WO-E304 (escape) records its class instead of erroring — because a class that MUST escape cannot be owned (second-class borrows can't be stored or returned), so it must be traced. `class_of_ty` extracts the class from the escaping local's type. analyze/analyze_fn take ?promote. - main.ml typecheck_all: after structural injection, a fixpoint runs ownership in collect mode over every file, unioning promotions into syms.traced (and every module table), before owner/emit see it. Terminates (promotions only grow, bounded by class count). - gcinfer.render_final: --dump-gc now reads the authoritative is_gc_class (structural + demand + the remaining @gc bridge), with the reason. Effect: a class that escapes is inferred `gc` with no annotation — e.g. `Cache` (rc.wo sans @gc) shows `gc (alias escape (demand))`; `Box` returned out of `leak` is promoted and the program is valid. No false positives: employee's Department/Employee stay owned; the 566 goldens + 14 test_diag unchanged. Corpus: compile-fail/borrow-escape-return reclassified to run/ (prints 1) — returning a borrowed class is now legal under demand promotion; the fixture encoded pre-7b behavior. Verified: woc-test 566/0 + test_diag 14/0; oop-e2e 79/0; employee 8/0; log-watcher 7/0. NOT in this slice: removing the `@gc` KEYWORD (parser rejection + rewriting the RC/@gc golden + test_diag assertions + moving the inference injection into the library so unit tests see it) — coupled to Phase 3, which deletes the RC machinery those tests cover. The ring still needs Phase 3 to RUN (nullable `?Node` gcref path). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

compiler/ — the OCaml woc compiler
Lexer → parser → typechecker → ownership pass → bytecode emitter, for .wo. OCaml stdlib only (no Menhir, no ppx); dune is the build runner. Sibling of the C wovm bytecode VM (runtime/) — the two halves of the OOP track's spec (docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-01-oop-compiler-vm-design.md) meet at plan 3, where woc's emitted .wob runs on wovm.
Stage: plan 3 (docs/plan/compiler/2026-08-01-wob-emit-e2e-single-binary.md) complete, Tasks 1–6 + 8 (Task 7, a parity harness against the Rust runtime, was deferred by explicit decision — the two stacks now diverge by design). .wo source compiles to .wob bytecode (--emit) and to a single self-contained executable (build) that runs wovm with no arguments and no repo-relative dependency. Milestone 1's acceptance gate — compile-time budget, the full conformance corpus under ASan, the single-binary smoke, both unit suites — is just oop-accept. Plan 2 (lexer through ownership pass) shipped first and is unchanged.
Requirements
OCaml 4.14.1, dune 3.14.0 — Ubuntu 24.04 apt packages (sudo apt install ocaml dune), the version floor. Confirm with ocaml -version / dune --version. No opam packages, no Menhir, no ppx — stdlib only.
Build, test
cd compiler && dune build # -> _build/default/bin/woc
cd compiler && dune runtest # test_diag unit checks + runner golden/CLI-smoke suite
just woc-build # same, from the repo root
just woc-test # same, from the repo root
WOC_BLESS=1 dune runtest (from compiler/) rewrites golden .expected files to match current output — use it once, by hand, to seed or intentionally update a fixture.
Running woc
woc <path> # compile (lex, parse, typecheck, ownership-check); nothing prints on success
woc --dump-tokens <path> # stdout: one line per lexed token
woc --dump-ast <path> # stdout: the declaration + body AST, indented
woc --dump-owner <path> # stdout: the ownership pass's four tables (moves, drops, rc, residual)
woc --dump-bc <path> # stdout: disassembled bytecode for every emitted method
woc --emit <path> -o <out.wob> # compile through to a .wob bytecode module, runnable by wovm
woc build <dir> -o <app> [--runtime <path>]
# compile + append the .wob image to a copy of wovm (default
# runtime/wovm, or --runtime) into one self-contained <app>
<path> is a single .wo file or a directory. A directory is discovered recursively for every .wo file under it — same contract as wo run (crates/rt/src/lib.rs::discover): dot-prefixed entries and target/data/node_modules are skipped, results are sorted by path. Every discovered file compiles as one program (declarations in one file resolve for bodies in another, regardless of discovery order); diagnostics from every file and every stage print sorted by (file, line, col). For multi-file --dump-* output, each file's dump is preceded by a === path === header line (compiler/src/dump.ml's file_header) — a single-file run never prints one.
Diagnostics render as file:line:col: severity CODE: message plus a source excerpt with a caret; every shipped code is cataloged in docs/plan/oop-vm/01-error-catalog.md. Exit codes: 0 clean compile, 1 diagnostics reported, 2 usage/IO failure.
