// issue-0008: protocol value created in a function and appended to a list // still stores a dangling stack pointer (issue-0007 fix incomplete) // // When a concrete value is converted to a protocol value inside a function // (either implicitly via append or explicitly) and stored in a List, the // protocol data pointer targets the function's stack frame instead of a // heap-allocated copy. // // After the function returns, the first dispatch may succeed (stack not yet // overwritten), but subsequent dispatches crash because the stack memory has // been reused by other calls. // // STATUS: open — issue-0007 fix only covers some cases #import "modules/std.sx"; Sizable :: protocol { size :: () -> s64; } Leaf :: struct { value: s64; } impl Sizable for Leaf { size :: (self: *Leaf) -> s64 { self.value; } } add :: (items: *List(Sizable), w: Leaf) { p := w; items.append(p); // protocol value created from stack local `p` } main :: () -> void { // Works: protocol value created in main, appended to list out("=== Created in main ===\n"); list_a : List(Sizable) = .{}; s : Sizable = Leaf.{ value = 42 }; list_a.append(s); r1 := list_a.items[0].size(); print("first: {} (expected 42)\n", r1); r2 := list_a.items[0].size(); print("second: {} (expected 42)\n", r2); // BUG: protocol value created in add(), first dispatch works, second crashes out("=== Created in add() ===\n"); list_b : List(Sizable) = .{}; add(@list_b, Leaf.{ value = 99 }); r3 := list_b.items[0].size(); print("first: {} (expected 99)\n", r3); // works (stack not yet clobbered) r4 := list_b.items[0].size(); print("second: {} (expected 99)\n", r4); // CRASH: stack memory reused out("=== OK ===\n"); }
