emitObjcDefinedClassDeallocImp now walks the class's #property fields
BEFORE freeing the state struct. For each:
- assign → no-op (primitives, no ARC traffic).
- strong → val = load field; objc_release(val).
- copy → same as strong (the stored value is a +1 retained copy
produced by the setter's [val copy]; we release it here).
- weak → objc_destroyWeak(&field) — unregisters the slot from
libobjc's side-table so the runtime stops tracking it.
Order matters: property releases happen BEFORE freeing the state
struct (which would invalidate the pointers we need to read), which
happens BEFORE [super dealloc] (which eventually frees the Obj-C
instance's own memory). The full sequence is now:
%state = object_getIvar(self, __sx_state_ivar)
// M4.B (this commit):
for each strong/copy property P:
val = load struct_gep(state, P.idx); objc_release(val)
for each weak property P:
objc_destroyWeak(struct_gep(state, P.idx))
// M4.0c (already shipped):
allocator = load struct_gep(state, 0)
allocator.dealloc(state)
object_setIvar(self, ivar, null)
// M1.2 A.6:
[super dealloc] // → objc_msgSendSuper2
ffi-objc-arc-02-strong-property now passes: child held by parent's
strong property gets released when parent deallocates, refcount → 0,
child deallocates, both states freed via tracker. Balanced 2/2.
189/189 example tests pass; chess on iOS-sim green. M4 complete.
Three pieces, no behavior change yet:
1. `ObjcPropertyKind` enum (strong/weak/copy/assign) + `objcPropertyKind`
helper in lower.zig. Reads `field.property_modifiers`, applies the
default rule (`*<ObjC-class>` → strong; primitives → assign), and
emits loud diagnostics for the silent-error budget:
- unknown modifier name (typo) → "expected one of: strong, weak, copy, ..."
- conflicting modifiers (e.g. `strong,weak`) → "mutually exclusive"
- `weak` on non-object slot → "requires a pointer-to-Obj-C-class type"
- `copy` on non-object slot → same
- `strong` (default or explicit) on `*void` → "ambiguous: specify
#property(strong|weak|copy|assign) explicitly"
Called from `emitObjcDefinedClassPropertyImps` for validation; the
returned kind isn't wired into setter/getter/dealloc yet — that's
the next three commits.
2. `ensureArcRuntimeDecls` lazily declares libobjc's ARC helpers:
objc_retain, objc_release, objc_storeWeak, objc_loadWeakRetained,
objc_initWeak, objc_destroyWeak. Uses the existing
`ensureCRuntimeDecl` pattern; idempotent.
3. Fix existing NSObject method names in std/objc.sx — `isEqual_`,
`isKindOfClass_`, `respondsToSelector_` had trailing underscores
that the selector mangling turned into double-colon selectors
(`isEqual::`). Removed the trailing underscore so the selectors
come out as `isEqual:`, `isKindOfClass:`, `respondsToSelector:`
as Apple's runtime expects.
4. Two xfail regression tests:
- ffi-objc-arc-02-strong-property: assigns child to parent's strong
property, releases the original child reference. Midpoint check:
child's dealloc should NOT have fired (strong setter retained).
Pre-M4.B-setter: child dealloc fires immediately → "FAIL: child
dealloc'd at midpoint" snapshot. Exit code 1.
- ffi-objc-arc-03-weak-property: assigns target to holder's weak
property, releases target. Reads holder.target → should be null
(auto-niled). Pre-M4.B-getter/setter: reads stale pointer →
"FAIL: weak property didn't auto-nil" snapshot.
These will turn green as M4.B setter (commit 2), getter (commit 3),
and dealloc-cleanup (commit 4) land. Each subsequent commit updates
the snapshot to reflect the now-passing output.
189/189 example tests pass; chess on iOS-sim green.
