…dies Three fixes for the ARM64 backend: 1. gen_func stub: use `true` (N_SECT|N_EXT) for add_symbol so empty function stubs are exported like normal functions, not left as local-only symbols that break dyld binding. 2. build_fn guard: remove `|| b.cur_module != 'main'` so all function bodies are compiled, not just main-module ones. The previous guard caused non-main-module functions (e.g. builtin__new_array_from_c_array) to emit zero-return stubs instead of real code, leading to NULL dereferences at runtime. 3. Expand force_external_syms from 31 to ~140 entries covering all C library functions referenced by V's builtins (memory, string, I/O, filesystem, process, threading, dispatch, backtrace). Change linker to ONLY allow force_external_syms through GOT/stubs, replacing the unreliable '__' name-mangling filter. https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ke8CDZM7t1edatQevof46F
…s and missing operations Add empty function stub handling (emit ret for functions with no blocks), struct/tuple operations (extractvalue, struct_init, insertvalue), integer type conversions (sext, zext, trunc), floating-point arithmetic (fadd/fsub/fmul/fdiv/frem, fptosi, sitofp), inline_string_init, and all necessary helper functions (struct_field_offset_bytes, type_align, large_aggregate_stack_value_is_pointer). Also adds SSE2 and sized-load assembly helpers to asm.v. https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ke8CDZM7t1edatQevof46F

inline_string_init writes a 24-byte string payload at struct_offset := base_offset + 8, but this path assumes g.stack_map[val_id] already points to reserved backing storage. In x64, ordinary instruction values are still given scalar slots, so these stores can overwrite neighboring frame data whenever inline string construction is emitted. Reserve dedicated aggregate storage for this opcode before writing the three fields.

This branch currently just loads and stores the operand unchanged, so fptoui and uitofp return raw bit patterns instead of converted numeric values. Any program casting between unsigned integers and floats will produce incorrect results (for example, a f64 -> u64 cast yields IEEE-754 bits, not the integer). These ops need real conversion instructions rather than pass-through copies.

For 4-byte extractvalue fields, the computed mask is 0xFFFFFFFF, then asm_and_rax_imm32 is used. and rax, imm32 sign-extends the immediate, so 0xFFFFFFFF becomes -1 and the operation does not clear upper 32 bits. In register-packed tuple/struct extraction this can leak stale high bits into the result; use a true 32-bit zero-extension path instead.

Summary
This PR significantly expands x64 code generation capabilities by adding support for type conversion instructions (sign/zero extension, truncation, floating-point conversions), SSE2 floating-point arithmetic, and complex aggregate operations (struct initialization, field extraction/insertion). It also includes infrastructure improvements for handling large aggregates and proper struct field layout calculations.
