A `%[name]` that references a symbol ("s") operand without an explicit
modifier now lowers to `${N:c}` (LLVM 'bare constant — no punctuation')
instead of `${N}`. This makes `bl %[fn]` / `call %[fn]` portable across
targets with no per-arch knowledge: x86 would otherwise render `$cb`
(an invalid call target, requiring a hand-written `:P`); aarch64 is
unaffected. Verified `:c` is equivalent to `:P` for x86-64 calls (both
emit R_X86_64_PLT32), and correct for branch targets, RIP-relative
addressing, and `$`-prefixed absolute immediates.
renderAsmTemplate injects `:c` only for symbol operands lacking an
explicit modifier (asmNamedIsSymbol helper); an explicit `%[name:X]`
still wins (escape hatch). x86 example 1659 drops its `:P` for the same
plain `%[fn]` as aarch64 1656. Snapshots regen to `${N:c}`. zig build
test green (668 corpus, 446 unit).
A `"s"` input operand feeds a function/global symbol; the template's
%[name] emits the platform-mangled name, so `bl %[fn]` / `call %[fn]`
branches DIRECTLY to it (PC-relative, no register load — one fewer
indirection than register-indirect `blr`).
Lowering: an `"s"` input lowers its RHS normally (a function name →
`ptr @fn`); the rejection added last commit is removed. Emit: a symbol
operand is passed with its OWN llvm type (LLVMTypeOf) and no coercion —
the function value is a `ptr`, and the old coerce-to-register-int path
mistyped it and failed the verifier. New asmIsSymbol helper.
Verified on aarch64: examples/1656 (sx → asm → bl _cb → sx → 42); the
emitted asm is a direct `bl <_cb>` (objdump-confirmed), IR constraint
`...,s,...`(ptr @cb). Flipped 1656 from the rejection lock to a runnable
aarch64 example. zig build test green (665 corpus, 446 unit).
