Closes two more multi-session correctness bugs surfaced by the
post-Layer-5 stress harness. Combined with Layer 5's panic-free
result, three-worker concurrency now sits around 80% pass with
zero Go-level crashes; higher worker counts trade reliability
for throughput against the inherent single-file-multi-writer
limit of the DBF format.
1. EOF marker write at Close (max-merge with disk)
`Close()` writes the EOF marker `0x1A` at
`header.HeaderLen + a.recCount * RecordLen`, computed from
our LOCAL recCount. A peer Append between our last refresh
(under the append-intent lock at Append-time) and Close-time
may have bumped the disk recCount above ours. Writing EOF
at our stale offset overwrites byte 0 of the peer's record
— flipping the delete-flag from ' ' (RecordActive) to 0x1A.
The field bytes survive, but downstream code that depends on
byte 0's exact value misclassifies the record.
Fix mirrors updateHeader's max-merge (Layer 3a): in shared
mode, re-read the disk header right before computing
EOFOffset and use max(disk.RecCount, local). Cheap (~1 stat-
sized read per Close) and the eventual close-fd is already
the serial bottleneck of any meaningful churn.
2. Append-batching disabled in shared mode
The appendBuf optimisation accumulates several consecutive
APPENDs into a single WriteAt at flushRecord time. In single-
process EXCLUSIVE mode that's a clean throughput win. In
shared mode, though, a peer SELECT can open the file while
our slots N..N+M are buffered but still on-disk only as
reserved-but-zero bytes. The peer iterates 1..recCount and
ReadAts zeros at offsets [N..N+M), treating the records as
garbage / empty markers.
Skip the batch path when `a.shared`: each Append writes its
record straight through via flushRecord on the next state
change. EXCLUSIVE single-process flows are unaffected.
Observed stress numbers (3 trials × 30 runs each, average):
pre-Layer-1 baseline: ~60% / panics
+Layer 1+2: 80% / 50% / panic
+Layer 4a/4b: 75-90% / 50-80% / panic
+Layer 5 (mmap-gen): ~73% / ~67% / ~33% / NO PANICS
+THIS (EOF + no-batch): ~83% / ~50% / ~22% / NO PANICS
The remaining flake at 5+ concurrent writers reflects the
fundamental constraint of FiveSql2's DBF model: no table-level
write lock, no MVCC. PostgreSQL solves this with snapshot
isolation; the equivalent for FiveSql2 would need a
write-ahead log or per-table writer mutex. Tracked as a
post-1.0 R&D direction.
For typical pgserver use — many read clients, few write
clients — the current correctness is production-acceptable.
The pgserver Phase 7 integration suite (3/3 in the basic
psql harness + 3/3 in the auth/TLS harness) remains 6/6 green
because each suite uses one connection at a time.

Closes the Go-panic class of multi-session concurrency bugs and
introduces an explicit cross-area mmap invalidation channel.
1. getWA waCache torn-read (root cause of panics)
hbrtl/rdd.go cached the most recent `interface{} → *WAM` type
assertion in a process-global struct of two `interface{}`-
shaped fields. Each pgserver connection's NewThread gets its
own WAM, so the cache missed on every call and immediately
re-wrote two shared, unsynchronised fields. Go's `interface{}`
is two words; concurrent write + read produced torn pointer
values, with the result that goroutine A could observe
goroutine B's WAM as its own.
That mis-attribution surfaced as:
- `concurrent map writes` panic at WorkAreaManager.Close
(workarea.go:95): two goroutines genuinely modifying the
SAME wam.aliases map.
- `concurrent map writes` panic at DBFArea.FieldPosCache
(dbf.go:439): two goroutines lazy-initing the SAME
fieldPosMap.
Drop the cache. The type assertion is ~ns; not worth a
process-global shared slot. If perf matters again, replace
with a sync.Map keyed by thread pointer, not a single struct.
2. Per-path mmap generation registry (hbrdd/dbf/area_registry.go)
Each unique on-disk DBF path gets an atomic uint64 generation
counter. *DBFArea instances:
- On Open: pathGen = pathGenFor(path); pathGenSeen = current.
- On Append (shared) / flushRecord: bumpPathGen(path);
pathGenSeen = current.
- On loadRecord: if pathGenSeen < live counter, bypass mmap
fast path for THIS load (use ReadAt) and re-sync seen.
Without this, a peer DBFArea's PutValue mutating a record we'd
mmap-cached returned stale pre-mutation bytes from our
snapshot. The existing length-bound check covered file-grow
(`offset > mmap len`) but not byte-level mutation within the
snapshot range. The registry covers both.
Cheap: read = one atomic.LoadUint64, hit rate is ~100% in the
single-writer-many-readers steady state.
Verification
------------
Same 3 / 5 / 10-worker pgx-driven concurrency stress harness:
pre-Layer-1 baseline: ~60% pass + occasional panic
+Layer 1+2: 80% / 50% / panic
+Layer 3a (max-merge): 80% / 50% / panic
+Layer 4a (per-session 3): 90% / 80% / 50%
+Layer 4b (Go atomics): 75-90% / 50-80% / panic (still)
+THIS (getWA + mmap-gen): 73% / 67% / 33% — ZERO PANICS
The shift "many partial fails, no panics" is what matters for
production: a connection seeing stale data is recoverable (rerun
the query); a Go-level process crash is not. Remaining
correctness flake comes from the in-flight appendBuf interaction
when peer Append fires between this connection's Append and
flushRecord — that's tractable with a per-connection flush
ordering rule, deferred to Layer 6.

Third layer of the multi-session concurrency story. After Layers
1+2 (67cd8f2 — shared DATA-INIT hash + recCount cache
invalidation), the residual flake had this exact failure mode:
goroutine A: OPEN -> Append (recCount→1, hdr=1) -> ...
goroutine B: OPEN -> Append (refresh→1, bump to 2, hdr=2) -> ...
goroutine B: Close -> flushRecord -> updateHeader (writes 2)
goroutine A: Close -> flushRecord -> updateHeader (writes 1) ← clobbers!
A's updateHeader unconditionally wrote a.recCount back to disk,
even when the disk header had been bumped by B's append-intent-
locked Append in between. Subsequent peer SELECTs then read
hdr=1 and iterated only as far as slot 1, missing B's row that
was physically present at slot 2.
Fix: in shared mode, updateHeader re-reads the disk header first
and writes back max(disk.RecCount, a.recCount). Correct under
the existing append-intent-lock invariant (the disk count is
monotonically nondecreasing across all peers); cheap (~1 stat-
sized read per close, never on the hot append path).
EXCLUSIVE mode keeps the old unconditional write — no peer can
have bumped the header, so the read+max is pure overhead with
no upside.
Measured impact (3-worker concurrent insert+select+commit × 20 runs):
pre-67cd8f2: ~60% pass, occasional Go panic
after 67cd8f2: 80% pass, no panics
after THIS: 80% pass, no panics (3-worker stable)
after THIS: 50% pass (5-worker — higher load uncovers
additional races at the multi-area mmap layer)
The remaining 5-worker flake points at a deeper issue: peer
DBFArea instances on the same file each hold their own mmap,
and the mmap snapshot taken at Open time doesn't track grow-by-
peer events between mmap-time and the next read. loadRecord
falls back to ReadAt when offset > len(mmap), so reads
themselves work — but the per-area appendBuf interaction with
peer-bumped header values needs more thought. Tracked as a
proper follow-up; the architectural shape is "every shared
DBFArea registers in a per-path mmap-gen registry that
broadcasts grow-events".

Addresses two of the three layers behind the audit's "WorkArea
collision under multi-session" risk surfaced in Phase 3:
1. Shared DATA-INIT hash literals (PRG side).
TSqlSession.prg declared `DATA hPlanCache INIT { => }` (plus
hSavepoints + hRolePerms etc.). On the gengo path that
compiles class-DATA INITs, the {=>} literal is sometimes
evaluated ONCE at class-definition time, with every
subsequent New() reusing the same hash pointer. Two pgserver
connections then read/wrote a single shared HbHash from
different goroutines, eventually hitting `concurrent map
writes` inside HbHash.ensureIndex (the lazy O(1)-lookup
index map).
The pre-existing gotcha is already documented in
TSqlExecutor.prg's hSubCache comment ("DATA INIT on hash/
array literals can end up sharing the same instance across
New() calls depending on the compile path") — TSqlSession had
missed the same workaround. Moving the explicit
`::hPlanCache := { => }` etc. into the constructor body
guarantees a fresh hash per instance.
2. Stale cross-session recCount cache (Go side).
`*DBFArea.RecCount()` in shared mode caches its result for
the duration of `recCountCacheGen`. Append() bumped the count
on disk + refreshed THIS area's count under the append-intent
lock (Phase 1 of pre-1.0 audit) but never invalidated the
cache on peer DBFArea instances — so a second pgserver
connection's RecCount() kept returning its pre-Append cached
value. The peer's SELECT then iterated 1..old_count and
missed the newly inserted row.
Append() now calls `InvalidateRecCountCache()` after
committing the bumped header. The generation counter went
to atomic.AddUint64 / atomic.LoadUint64 so the bump is
safe to fire from any goroutine without a lock around the
variable.
Measured impact
---------------
Same 3-worker concurrent-INSERT-then-SELECT stress test that was
~3/5 passing pre-fix:
before: 3 / 5 (40% — plus occasional Go-level panic)
after: 8 / 10 (80% — no panics, just intermittent missed rows)
The remaining 20% flake is on the third layer — peer mmap shows a
pre-Append snapshot when Append's `unmap()` only invalidates this
area's own mmap, not the other workareas that opened the same DBF
file independently via dbUseArea. Fixing that requires either a
cross-area registry of mmap views to invalidate, or skipping
mmap entirely when SHARED && cache-gen has bumped. Tracked as a
proper follow-up; tests/pgserver/run.sh's "Known limitation"
header now points at the narrower problem.

Senior-engineer / QA audit landed 13 silent-miscompile and data-
integrity fixes spanning the whole compiler+runtime+storage stack.
Each fix is paired with either an integration test in the suite or
a focused regression check; all 6 release gates stay green:
go test ./..., FiveSql2 43/43, Harbour compat 56/56, std.ch 17/17,
FRB 7/7, examples 65/71.
Compiler
--------
* genpc IF/ELSEIF jumpEnd2 patching (compiler/genpc/genpc.go).
Per-ELSEIF branch terminators were stashed into `_ = jumpEnd2`
and never patched — the relative offset stayed 0 and the runtime
walked the next ELSEIF's PcOpJumpFalse opcode as if it were
jump-offset data. Bytecode-level corruption in pcode mode. Now
collected into a slice and patched at end-of-IF. Verified via
Grade(95..50) cases 11a-e added to tests/frb/test_frb_pcode_sweep.
* countLocalsInStmts / scanBodyLocals missing bodies
(compiler/gengo/gen_util.go, compiler/gengo/gengo.go). Frame-size
counter skipped WATCH/TIMEOUT/PARALLEL FOR bodies, so a LOCAL
declared inside one of those constructs got a slot index past
the runtime's allocated count — silent NIL reads or out-of-range
stomps.
* emitMethodDeclStandalone nested LOCAL (compiler/gengo/gen_class.go).
Same bug class but on the *method* side. Pre-fix repro:
METHOD Stomp(n) CLASS T
LOCAL a := 1, b := 2
IF n > 0
LOCAL c := 30, d := 40, e := 50, f := 60
Inner( n )
IF c != 30 .OR. d != 40 .OR. e != 50 .OR. f != 60 ...
printed `c, d, e, f = 5, NIL, NIL, NIL` because Inner's frame
collided with Stomp's underallocated slot range. Now counts
body-nested LOCALs into the frame and pre-allocates indices via
scanBodyLocals.
* genpc unsupported-AST diagnostic surface (compiler/genpc/genpc.go,
hbrt/pcode.go, cmd/five/main.go, hbrtl/frb.go). The `default`
cases in emitStmt / emitExpr silently emitted PushNil / no-op
for nodes the pcode generator doesn't implement (ClassDecl,
MethodDecl, xBase commands, concurrency primitives, …). Added
`PcodeModule.Warnings []string` populated by noteUnsupported,
surfaced on stderr from the build pipeline. Users now see
"pcode: AST node not supported in --pcode/FRB-pcode mode: stmt
*ast.GoBlockStmt" instead of getting a silently broken module.
Runtime
-------
* class.go Send/tryBinaryOp t.self defer-restore (hbrt/class.go).
Restoration was a plain `t.self = oldSelf` after `fn(t)`. Any
panic in the method body skipped the line, so the next BEGIN
SEQUENCE / RECOVER handler ran with the THROWING object's Self
— `::field` resolved against the wrong receiver. Wrapped both
restore sites in `defer func() { t.self = oldSelf }()`.
Verified: pre-fix RECOVER saw "THROWER", post-fix "OUTER".
* hbfunc.go HB_FUNC parameter Frame() (hbrt/hbfunc.go). The
RegisterDynamicFunc wrapper called `fn(ctx)` without ever
calling Frame, so `ctx.ParC(1)` / `ctx.Local(n)` read through
`t.curFrame.localBase + n - 1` against the *caller's* frame.
Every #pragma BEGINDUMP HB_FUNC taking parameters silently
returned "" / 0 / "" for them — masked by ParNIDef-style
defaults. Wrapper now does `t.Frame(t.pendingParams, 0); defer
t.EndProc()` before dispatch.
* pcode codeblock closure capture (hbrt/pcinterp.go, hbrt/pcode.go,
hbrt/thread.go, compiler/genpc/genpc.go). PcOpPushBlock recorded
`nDetached` but never copied enclosing locals; free vars in the
block body fell through to memvar lookup → NIL. Wired full
capture pipeline:
- New opcodes PcOpPushDetached (0x59) / PcOpPopDetached (0x5A).
- PushBlock now reads per-slot source-local indices and
snapshots into bb.Detached at construction time.
- New detachedMap in genpc auto-promotes any free var that
resolves to an enclosing-frame local into a capture slot.
- emitAssignAsExpr leaves the assigned value on the eval stack
so SeqExpr items like `{|v| acc += v, acc }` work.
- Thread tracks curBlock with paired Set/restore in the block's
Fn wrapper for nested-block evaluation.
Mutating capture (acc += v across successive Evals) now works.
* vm.NewThread statics + waFactory propagation (hbrt/vm.go).
GoLaunch / GoLaunchBlock call NewThread directly. Previously
the statics map and WA factory were applied only in Run(), so
goroutine-spawned PRG code panicked on STATIC access ("static
index out of range") and crashed dereferencing nil WA on any
DB call. Both now happen inside NewThread under the same lock
as TID assignment.
Data layer
----------
* dbf concurrent Append lock (hbrdd/dbf/dbf.go,
hbrdd/dbf/locks_posix.go, hbrdd/dbf/locks_windows.go). Append
bumped a local recCount with no file-system serialization. Two
shared-mode processes both wrote at the same RecordOffset; one
record silently overwrote the other. Added an append-intent
byte-range lock at offset 0x7FFFFFFE + bounded retry, on-disk
header refresh inside the locked region, and immediate header
write so peers refresh past our slot.
* indexer negative numeric key encoding (hbrdd/dbf/indexer.go +
new hbrdd/dbf/encode_numeric_test.go). `%20.10f` formats `-100`
as `" -100.0000000000"` and `99` as `" 99.0000000000"`.
ASCII ' ' (0x20) < '-' (0x2D), so `99` lex-compared LESS than
`-100` — every NTX/CDX index over a column that ever held a
negative number returned wrong rows for SEEK / range scans.
Replaced with a 1-byte sign prefix + 21-byte zero-padded
magnitude (negatives use digit-complement) so byte order
matches numeric order across signs and magnitudes. Format
change: existing indexes built with the old encoding must be
REINDEXed. Three unit tests pin the order.
* dbf Append index maintenance hooks (hbrdd/dbf/dbf.go,
hbrdd/dbf/indexer.go). Append never inserted into open NTX/CDX
indexes — the audit's canonical scenario `SET INDEX TO …;
APPEND BLANK; REPLACE …; dbSeek …` silently missed the new
record. Added optional IndexWriter interface, queue the new
recNo in pendingIdxInserts, drain after flushRecord by calling
InsertKey on every open writer-supporting engine. NTX
participates (its existing rebuild-on-insert is correct);
CDX online maintenance is deferred to a follow-up — those
indexes still need REINDEX. Verified: post-fix SEEK("Charlie")
after APPEND BLANK + REPLACE finds the new record.
* dbf PACK crash-safety (hbrdd/dbf/dbf.go). The old in-place
rewrite read record N, overwrote slot M<N, then truncated.
Power loss after partial loop left a file with overwritten
prefix and no original copies of the records already advanced
past — silent data loss. Rewrote to:
1) drop mmap, build `<file>.pack.tmp` with all surviving
records,
2) Sync(),
3) close original handle + os.Rename(tmp, orig) (atomic on
same FS),
4) reopen + re-mmap.
TestComp_Pack passes; readers always see either the pre-PACK
or post-PACK contents, never a half-state.
* mem RDD torn reads (hbrdd/mem/memrdd.go). The comment claimed
in-place PutValue was safe because hbrt.Value "fits in a
single machine word + pointer". hbrt.Value is 24 bytes (3
words) — a concurrent reader could observe new type tag with
stale scalar/ptr and type-confuse on the next AsXxx() call.
Switched mu to sync.RWMutex; GetValue takes RLock,
Append/PutValue/Delete/Recall take Lock. `go test -race
./hbrdd/mem/` clean.

Six audit-driven blockers landed together because they're tangled:
* MENU TO removed from std.ch — the rule expanded to a call to a
nonexistent __MenuTo() RTL symbol, so any user code with `MENU
TO choice` compiled clean and panicked at runtime. Behavior
pre-this-round was a parser silent no-op, which is at least
consistent. Restore that until @ PROMPT (the companion command)
actually lands.
* COUNT now requires `TO <var>`. The earlier `[TO <v>]` optional
bracket was a Harbour-pattern transcription error: the result
template references `<v>` unconditionally, so a bare `COUNT`
expanded to ungrammatical ` := 0 ; dbEval(...)` and the
PRG parser rejected it. Match Harbour's std.ch which makes TO
mandatory.
* UPDATE FROM ... REPLACE now requires `FROM`/`ON`/`REPLACE` all
three. Same root cause as COUNT: the result template uses
`<key>`, `<f1>`, `<x1>` unconditionally; missing any of them
produced broken syntax. Tightened to fail loudly rather than
silently mis-expand.
* CLOSE <unknown_alias> no longer closes the *current* workarea.
SelectByAlias was a silent no-op when the alias was missing,
leaving WASaveAndSelectAlias to evaluate the inner DbCloseArea()
against the originally-selected WA — a real data-loss footgun.
SelectByAlias now returns bool; WASaveAndSelectAlias switches to
the no-area sentinel (0) on miss so the inner expression's
Current() returns nil and short-circuits.
* SUM <x1>, <xN> TO <v1>, <vN> — multi-pair form supported.
Required two pieces:
1. matchSegment's regular-marker stop-boundary now combines
outerTail literals AND the segment's repeat boundary so
`[, <xN>]` doesn't let `<xN>` swallow past the next ','.
2. **Five parser miscompiled comma-separated expressions in
code blocks.** `{|| e1, e2, e3 }` kept only the last expr
and threw away earlier ones at *AST level*, so all their
side effects vanished. New SeqExpr AST node + emitter
(emit each, pop intermediate results) + folding/walk
updates fix the underlying bug, which also unbreaks any
other block that relied on comma sequencing.
* pp.go's `;` continuation joiner now strips exactly one trailing
`;` per iteration, preserving Harbour's `;;` convention (literal
`;` followed by a continuation marker). Without this the SUM
rule's chained `<v1> :=[ <vN> :=] 0 ; ; dbEval(...)` collapsed
to a missing statement separator.
* parseExprStmt's xBase fallback switch is back in sync with
parseIdentStmt — COPY/SORT/COUNT/SUM/AVERAGE/TOTAL/UPDATE/JOIN/
DISPLAY/LIST removed (std.ch handles all of them now). Leaving
them in the fallback masked typos as silent no-ops.

Two hot-path fixes for DBF reads surfaced by the bulk-bench profile.
1. parseNumericField decimal path — was 23% of flat CPU on BULK_CTE.
The fast integer path (dec == 0) is already byte-level, but any
N(w, d) field with d > 0 fell through to
strconv.ParseFloat(string(raw[start:end]), 64)
allocating per-row. A 10k-row CTE insert ran this 200k+ times.
Replace with an inline integer+fraction parser using a small
pow10 lookup table (covers 0..19 decimal places). Unexpected
characters still fall back to strconv for correctness.
Result:
BULK_CTE_10k_20iter 187 → 83 ms (2.25x)
BULK_SUBQ_10k_20iter 102 → 22 ms (4.6x)
2. DBFArea.RecCount in shared mode was doing Seek(0, 2) on every
call. SqlScan calls it once per query for its result-array
pre-allocation (~0.2 ms × 1000 queries = 0.2s of CPU on the
bench). Cache the count per-area, keyed by a process-wide
generation counter. Our own Append increments the cached
recCount directly so the cache stays correct for single-process
workloads (the common case). Callers that need cross-process
freshness can call InvalidateRecCountCache() to bump the
generation.
SQL bench: modest 1-3 ms drops on B1/B2/B3/B6/B7.
Index operations (NTX/CDX build, seek, skip) profiled separately
and are already fast — 50k-row NTX build 23 ms, 10k seeks 7 ms, no
hotspots. Left untouched.
FiveSql2 43/43, Harbour compat 56/56, Go test ALL PASS.

parseNumericField was allocating on every call — `string(raw)` to
convert the record-buffer slice to a string, plus the implicit
allocation from TrimSpace's return value. For a 50k-row scan reading
two numeric fields, that's 100k+ small string allocations per scan,
all of which promptly became garbage.
Rewritten to walk the raw byte slice directly:
- Find the trimmed range by byte indexing (no alloc).
- Parse integer-typed fields (dec == 0) digit-by-digit into int64.
- Only fall back to strconv.ParseFloat + string allocation for
genuinely fractional data (dec > 0 or embedded `.`).
This also lifts the raw RDD baseline in our bench (6.8ms → 6.2ms)
because FieldGet hits this same parser. Every scan path benefits,
not just the FiveSql2 hot loop.
Measured (50k rows, 3-run steady state):
Before After
No WHERE 10.0ms 9.1ms
Numeric WHERE 7.8ms 6.9ms ← now 1.11x raw
String WHERE 7.9ms (see next commit)
Raw RDD baseline 6.8ms 6.2ms ← also faster

Replaces the `return NIL` stubs with real implementations that read
from the current workarea. Covers the info codes actually used by
downstream code (FiveSql2 TSqlIndex, standalone callers):
DBINFO:
DBI_ISDBF, DBI_CANPUTREC, DBI_FULLPATH, DBI_TABLEEXT, DBI_MEMOEXT,
DBI_SHARED, DBI_ISREADONLY, DBI_GETRECSIZE, DBI_DBVERSION,
DBI_RDDVERSION, DBI_BOF, DBI_EOF, DBI_FOUND, DBI_FCOUNT, DBI_ALIAS,
DBI_POSITIONED
DBORDERINFO:
DBOI_EXPRESSION, DBOI_NAME, DBOI_NUMBER, DBOI_POSITION,
DBOI_ORDERCOUNT, DBOI_KEYCOUNT, DBOI_KEYCOUNTRAW
Unknown info codes still return NIL (Harbour's forgiving fallback).
New accessors on DBFArea (FullPath, IsShared, IsReadOnly) expose the
private filePath/shared/readOnly fields to the hbrtl layer without
plumbing them through the generic Area interface.
Unblocks TSqlIndex:FindExclusive's original DBI_FULLPATH/DBI_SHARED
scan — though the short-circuit there stays in place for now since
it's a correctness workaround that no longer masks a crash thanks
to the recent gengo PushMemvar fallback.

Two SQLite-style optimizations for RDD and SQL workloads:
1. FieldPos() O(1) column binding cache
Before: FieldPos(name) linear scan — O(n) per call with string
comparison. In SQL engines that call FieldPos per row per
column, this is hundreds of thousands of calls.
After: DBFArea builds a map[UPPER(name)]→pos on first lookup.
All subsequent lookups are O(1) hash. SQLite calls this
"column affinity binding" — positions resolved at prepare,
not per row.
Implementation:
- hbrdd/dbf/dbf.go: DBFArea.FieldPosCache(name) method
- hbrtl/procinfo.go: FieldPos RTL uses fieldPosCacher interface
- Lazy init: only pays for tables that get queried
2. hbrdd import auto-detection for function-call style PRGs
Before: compiler only added hbrdd import when PRG used xBase commands
(USE, SKIP, INDEX...). Pure function-call style like
`dbUseArea(.T.,,"t")`, `FieldPut(1, val)` was missed —
generated Go failed to compile ("undefined: hbrdd").
After: scanStmtsForXBase walks ExprStmt bodies too, detecting
CallExpr to any of the ~40 xBase RTL function names.
FIELD->NAME alias expressions also trigger the import.
Resolves: small PRGs that use only dbUseArea/FieldGet/FieldPut.
Benchmark notes (50k records):
Raw RDD scan: 7 ms (baseline)
FiveSql2 SELECT WHERE: 157 ms (unchanged — bottleneck is
not FieldPos, it's PRG-level
expression tree walk per row)
compat_harbour 51/51: PASS
FiveSql2 43/43: 100%
The FieldPos cache helps heavy field-name-based code paths but the
primary FiveSql2 bottleneck is the PRG interpreter walking expression
ASTs per row (needs bytecode compilation to close the gap).

Eliminate MacroEval overhead for INDEX ON with UDF/complex expressions.
Before: gengo passed KeyExpr as a string → indexer called MacroEval()
per record (50k × string parse + symbol lookup + function call).
After: gengo emits a Go closure (_keyFunc) that inlines the AST of
the key expression as direct Go code. The indexer calls the
closure directly — zero string parsing, zero runtime symbol
lookup for the hot loop.
Three code paths in the closure, depending on expression type:
1. UDF call: FindSymbol("FULLNAME") + Function(0)
(symbol lookup once per closure creation, not per record)
2. Field reference: GetValue(fieldIndex) inline
(no MacroEval, no FIELD-> alias resolution)
3. UPPER/LOWER(expr): strings.ToUpper/Lower inline
(no RTL function call overhead)
Architecture (Go compiler design principle):
Compile time knows the AST → emit native code.
Don't serialize to string → re-parse at runtime 50k times.
Benchmark (50k records, 3 UDF indexes):
before after Harbour ratio
3 UDF INDEX 163.0ms 60.0ms 55.0ms Five/HB = 1.09x
SEEK 10k 7.6ms 7.6ms 14.0ms Five 1.8x faster
SCAN 50k 3.4ms 3.4ms 4.0ms Five 15% faster
TOTAL 233.0ms 130.0ms 147.0ms Five 12% faster overall
UDF INDEX build went from 3x SLOWER than Harbour to nearly EQUAL.
SEEK/SCAN remain faster than Harbour (mmap + NTX optimizations).
Changes:
hbrdd/driver.go KeyFunc field in OrderCreateParams
hbrdd/dbf/indexer.go compiled path using KeyFunc before MacroEval fallback
compiler/gengo/gengo.go emitIndexKeyExpr: field-aware AST→Go emitter
for INDEX ON key expressions
Correctness: Harbour vs Five UDF diff = 0 (25-line output match)

All 3 remaining known constraints resolved. CLAUDE.md now shows zero.
1. CDX compound index WRITE support (was read-only)
New file: hbrdd/cdx/build.go (~400 LOC)
- CreateOrAddTag() builds Harbour-compatible CDX files
- Bit-packed leaf pages (RecBits/DupBits/TrlBits compression)
- Interior nodes with big-endian RecNo/ChildPage
- Compound root directory (structural B-tree of tag names)
- Append-safe: preserves existing tags when adding new ones
- Linked leaf pages (LeftPtr/RightPtr for sequential scan)
Pipeline: INDEX ON expr TAG tagname TO file
- ast.IndexCmd gains TagName field
- Parser captures TAG name (was discarded)
- gengo passes TagName to OrderCreateParams
- indexer.go routes to cdx.CreateOrAddTag when TAG specified
Verified: 3 tags (BYNAME/BYCITY/BYAGE), OrdSetFocus by name,
SEEK, GoTop/GoBottom, close+reopen with SET INDEX TO
2. {||} empty code block parsing in function arguments
Parser's parseArrayOrBlock() called parseExpr() unconditionally
after closing |, failing when body was empty ({||}).
Fix: check for RBRACE after closing | and emit NIL literal body.
{=>} empty hash already worked.
3. Semicolon IF...ENDIF — already worked (removed from constraints)

Replace the no-op Windows lock stub with actual kernel32 LockFileEx /
UnlockFileEx calls via syscall.LazyDLL (zero external dependency).
- LOCKFILE_EXCLUSIVE_LOCK | LOCKFILE_FAIL_IMMEDIATELY for non-blocking
semantics matching Clipper FLOCK() → .F.
- Same lock region layout as POSIX: header region for FLOCK, record
offsets for DBRLOCK — compatible across platforms
- Handles returned as syscall.Handle from os.File.Fd()
Note: full Windows cross-compile still blocked by unrelated issues
(mmap in cdx/ntx, termios in debugcli.go). The lock code itself
compiles cleanly with //go:build windows.
Also updates gap-analysis.md to reflect Windows lock status.

Replaces the FLOCK/DBRLOCK/DBRUNLOCK no-op stubs with actual
fcntl(F_SETLK) byte-range advisory locks, matching Harbour's
hb_fsLockLarge implementation.
Before: rtlDbRLock always returned .T. regardless of contention.
Multi-process writers could silently corrupt records.
After: Non-blocking POSIX byte-range locks per file descriptor.
Cross-process exclusion verified by a subprocess-spawning
Go test that witnesses BUSY vs OK transitions.
New files:
hbrdd/dbf/locks_posix.go fcntl F_WRLCK/F_UNLCK wrappers
hbrdd/dbf/locks_windows.go stub (TODO: LockFileEx)
hbrdd/dbf/lock_multi_test.go cross-process verification
docs/gap-analysis.md honest Harbour parity assessment
Modified:
hbrdd/dbf/dbf.go
- DBFArea gains fileLocked bool + lockedRecs map
- Close() calls releaseAllLocks() before dropping the fd
hbrtl/database.go
- rtlDbRLock / rtlDbRUnlock now delegate to DBFArea.LockRecord /
UnlockRecord instead of returning fixed .T./NIL
- New rtlFLock / rtlDbUnlock for FLOCK() / DBUNLOCK()
hbrtl/register.go
- FLOCK and DBUNLOCK symbols registered (were missing entirely)
compiler/analyzer/analyzer.go
- FLOCK / DBUNLOCK added to RTL known-function set
Lock region layout (non-overlapping on purpose):
FLOCK region [0, HeaderLen+1)
Record N region [RecordOffset(N), RecordLen)
So a workarea can hold FLOCK and multiple DBRLOCK simultaneously
on the same fd without conflict.
Design rationale (captured in locks_posix.go header):
* POSIX fcntl, not flock(2) — byte-range + NFS-safe
* Non-blocking F_SETLK — matches Clipper FLOCK() → .F. semantics
* Released explicitly on Close to avoid workarea-sharing races
* Windows falls back to no-op (TODO: LockFileEx)
Verification:
go test ./hbrdd/dbf/ -run TestFLockBlocksAcrossProcesses PASS

Benchmark (50k records, 4 indexes on Apple M-series):
before after Δ
INDEX 53.7ms 33.3ms -38% (now 10% faster than Harbour 37.3ms)
TOTAL 156.2ms 133.0ms -15%
Fixes:
1. sort.Slice(reflection) → concrete sort.Interface
Benchmarked in isolation on 200k KeyRecords:
sort.Slice(closure): 50.0ms
sort.Sort(interface): 30.4ms (40% faster, no reflection)
- indexer.go: add keyRecordAsc/Desc concrete types
- Branch hoist descending check out of Less()
2. buildOnePage zero allocation
Was allocating a temp padded []byte per key (~50k allocs per index).
Now writes padded key directly into the page buffer via padCopy.
3. bulkBuildBTree separator reuse
sepKey can alias the source KeyRecord.Key when it's already keyLen-sized
(true for all slab-allocated keys), avoiding ~n/maxItem small allocations.
Pre-size the children slice.
4. Fast path extended to numeric fields and UPPER/LOWER
Previously only bare CHAR field references hit the zero-alloc fast path.
Now:
- Numeric fields (N/F type) copy DBF bytes directly
(same-length ASCII compare matches numeric order for non-negatives)
- UPPER(field) / LOWER(field) wrappers on CHAR fields apply ASCII
case folding inline during byte copy
Per-index timing on the micro benchmark:
before after
NAME 7.7ms 7.5ms (fast path, unchanged)
CITY 6.0ms 6.2ms (fast path, unchanged)
AGE 14.1ms 7.1ms -50% (was slow path)
UPPER(NM) 17.0ms 7.9ms -54% (was slow path)
5. Slow path single-pass scan
When an expression is too complex for fast path, we still avoid the
double GoTo per record. The evaluation loop now sequentially walks
records with one GoTo each, restoring the original position only at
the end, and shares a single slab for padded keys.
Also fixes a hbrt bug surfaced while writing the benchmark:
6. Date + Numeric promoted to Date
Plus()/Minus() previously required the integer side to be NumInt.
Modulus returns a promoted type, so `SToD("...") + (i % 365)` panicked.
Now accepts any Numeric on either side and truncates the fractional
part before adding Julian days.
- hbrt/ops_arith.go: Date±Numeric (was Date±NumInt only)

go test ./... — ALL PASS (17 packages)

Five RDD engine now matches Harbour DBFNTX and DBFCDX byte-for-byte
in ordering, seek, navigation, and field access. Verified against
Harbour 3.2.0dev with a 281-line comparison test covering:
- Natural/NAME/CITY/AGE/SALARY/UPPER ordering
- SEEK (exact/not-found), GoTop/GoBottom per order
- DELETE/RECALL with SET DELETED
- CDX compound index read with 5 tags (BYNAME, BYCITY, BYAGE, BYSAL, BYUNAME)
- Reverse traversal
Fixes:
1. FIELD->NAME returned NIL
GetAliasField returned interface{} but runtime expected hbrt.Value,
so the type assertion in PushAliasField failed and pushed NIL.
- workarea.go: change return type to hbrt.Value, handle FIELD/_FIELD
as current-workarea alias, add SetAliasField
- gengo.go: emit SetAliasField() for alias->field := value in both
statement and expression contexts
2. OrdSetFocus(n) silently switched to natural order
v.AsString() returns "" for a numeric Value, so OrderListFocus("")
set current=-1.
- indexrtl.go: convert numeric param via fmt.Sprintf("%d", ...)
3. CDX compound tag order mismatched Harbour
Five decoded the structural B-tree which is alphabetical, but
Harbour sorts tags by TagBlock (file offset = creation order).
- cdx/cdx.go: sort tagEntries by offset ascending after decoding,
matching hb_cdxIndexLoadAvailTags in dbfcdx1.c
4. OutStd()/OutErr() not registered — caused panic on call
- hbrtl/console.go: add rtlOutStd/rtlOutErr implementations
- hbrtl/register.go: register OUTSTD and OUTERR
- analyzer.go: add OUTSTD/OUTERR to RTL known-functions
5. FIELD keyword triggered "undeclared variable" warnings
- analyzer.go: add FIELD, _FIELD, M, MEMVAR as builtin constants

From senior Go developer review:
C7 CRITICAL: pagePool data race (ntx.go)
- Moved global pagePool[8] + pagePoolIdx into per-Index struct
- Eliminates race condition across goroutines using separate indexes
C8 CRITICAL: Page.data dangling pointer after remap (ntx.go)
- remapFile() now clears pagePool data slices (pointed into old mmap)
- Prevents segfault from stale mmap references
C4 HIGH: pop() bounds check restored (thread.go)
- Removed performance optimization that eliminated underflow detection
- Stack underflow now produces clear error instead of index -1 panic
C1 HIGH: intExpLen overflow on MinInt64 (value.go)
- Added special case: MinInt64 returns 20 (length of -9223372036854775808)
- Prevents -v overflow in negation
C11 CRITICAL: GoTo ReadAt error handling (dbf.go)
- ReadAt failure now returns error and sets EOF
- Previously silently used stale record buffer (data corruption risk)
C14 HIGH: LEN() inline missing Hash case (gengo.go)
- Added _v.IsHash() → len(Keys) branch
C15 HIGH: EMPTY() inline missing Date case (gengo.go)
- Added _v.IsDate() && _v.AsJulian() == 0 check
82/82 stress PASS. 14 packages ALL PASS.

NTX 3-level tree (build.go):
- Hybrid approach: bulk build for ≤2 levels, insertKeyBTree for 3+
- rebuildWithInsert: creates proper B-tree via per-key insertion
- 5000-key test: Count=5000 Found=5000 (was 5004/4868)
CDX SET INDEX TO (gengo.go):
- Strip surrounding quotes from string literal in OrderListAdd
- Was: idx.OrderListAdd("\"path\"") → file not found
- Now: idx.OrderListAdd("path") → correct
All tests:
- 14 packages ALL PASS
- 82/82 NTX stress test
- 18/18 CDX cross-read

NTX Bulk Build (build.go — ported from rddfive/ntx_engine.c):
- pageBuffer: dynamic memory buffer for all pages
- Phase 1: Build leaf pages in sequential memory (zero disk I/O)
- Phase 2: Build interior levels from cached leaf data (zero I/O)
- Separator promotion: remove last key from leaf only (not interior)
- Single bulk WriteAt for all pages at end
- INDEX ON 10K: 34ms → 5-8ms (4-6x improvement)
NTX Seek (ntx.go):
- Always descend to leaf on match (find first occurrence)
- fStop flag tracks path match, verified at leaf
APPEND Buffering (dbf.go):
- Append marks dirty without immediate disk write
- flushRecord writes record data only (no header/EOF per record)
- Close/Flush writes EOF marker + header once
Results: 14 packages ALL PASS, 82/82 stress test
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
NTX Seek (ntx.go):
- Always descend to leaf even on internal match (Harbour behavior)
Prevents SEEK returning internal separator instead of first leaf entry
Fixes duplicate key SEEK (NYC=9→10, Paris=8→10)
- fStop flag tracks path match, verified at leaf with key comparison
- Handle fStop at page end: ascend via nextKey to find actual match
SET DELETED + SEEK (indexer.go):
- When SEEK finds a deleted record with SET DELETED ON:
Skip forward through matching deleted records
If all matching records deleted → return not found (EOF)
Fixes H04: deleted record now correctly returns .F.
BOF (indexer.go + dbf.go):
- Set a.FBof AFTER a.GoTo returns (GoTo resets FBof=false at line 393)
- Fixes infinite loop in DO WHILE !BOF() ... SKIP -1
Results:
- Unit tests: 14 packages ALL PASS
- 77-item thorough test: 77/77 (100%)
- 82-item stress test: 82/82 (100%) — Harbour identical

Major rewrite based on Harbour dbfntx1.c analysis:
NTX B-tree traversal (ntx.go):
- nextKey: rewritten to match hb_ntxTagNextKey exactly
- Advance iKey, check right child, descend via goLeftmost
- Walk up stack on page exhaustion, truncate stackLevel
- prevKey: rewritten to match hb_ntxTagPrevKey
- Check left child (only if iKey < keyCount), descend via goRightmost
- Walk up stack for BOF detection
- goRightmost: internal nodes get iKey=keyCount (rightmost child),
leaf nodes get iKey=keyCount-1 (last key) — matches Harbour
NTX B-tree build (build.go):
- CreateIndex: proper B-tree insertion (insert keys one by one)
- insertKeyBTree: search → insert at leaf → propagate splits up
- pageInsertKey: Harbour-style offset swapping (not data moving)
- pageSplit: collect all entries, split at midpoint, promote separator
- Proper offset table initialization for all pages
Unit tests: all 5 RDD packages PASS
Stress test: partial progress (Seek issues with split pages)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
1. SOFTSEEK: use idx.CurRecNo() for positioning (was checking recNo > 0)
- SEEK with SET SOFTSEEK ON now positions at next higher key
- SEEK command reads SET SOFTSEEK at runtime (was compile-time only)
- rtlDbSeek defaults to GetSetSoftSeek() when no explicit param
2. SET DELETED ON + INDEX: SkipIndexed skips deleted records
- GoTopIndexed: skip deleted record at top position
- SkipIndexed: inner loop continues past deleted records
3. Compound key (CITY+NAME): field name TrimSpace before lookup
- evalKeyExprInner: TrimSpace on fieldName after FIELD-> strip
- Fixed "CITY " != "CITY" mismatch from + operator splitting
4. SET INDEX TO filename: treated as string, not variable
- gengo uses exprToString for SET INDEX TO (was emitExpr)
- Prevents identifier being resolved as local variable
5. hasXBaseCommands: recursive scan into nested blocks
- BEGIN SEQUENCE, IF, FOR, DO WHILE, SWITCH bodies now scanned
- Fixes missing hbrdd import for DB commands inside blocks
Thorough test: 77 items (14 sections) covering exact/partial/soft seek,
SET DELETED, duplicate keys, numeric keys, compound keys, empty/single
table, state consistency, order switching, full traversal — all identical.

Core change:
- dbf.KeyEvalFunc: global callback set by gengo before OrderCreate
- evalKeyExprInner default case: calls KeyEvalFunc for unknown functions
- Final fallback: any unresolvable expression → KeyEvalFunc → MacroEval
- valueToKeyBytes: converts MacroEval result to index key bytes
- gengo: sets dbf.KeyEvalFunc = t.MacroEval before OrderCreate, clears after
Examples that now work:
INDEX ON MyFunc(FIELD->NAME) TO idx // UDF in key expression
INDEX ON CityKey(FIELD->CITY, NAME) TO idx // multi-param UDF
INDEX ON Left(MyFunc(NAME), 15) TO idx // nested built-in + UDF
Also fixed:
- SET ORDER TO n: int→string via hbrt.NtoS (was empty string)
- CDX compound leaf decoder: proper bit-packed tag name extraction
- CDX compound recNo = direct byte offset (not page number)
All existing tests pass, NTX 47/47 + CDX 20/20 Harbour compat maintained.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
CDX Integration:
- IndexEngine interface: common for NTX Index and CDX Tag
- OrderListAdd: auto-detects .cdx/.ntx extension, opens CDX tags
- decodeCompoundLeaf: proper bit-packed tag directory decoding
(was stub falling through to scanCompoundLeaves with wrong names)
- CDX Tag: added KeyLen(), KeyExpr(), ForExpr(), IsDescending(), Close()
- CDX compound recNo = direct byte offset (not page number)
ORDSCOPE:
- SetScope/ClearScope/SetScopeTop/SetScopeBottom on DBFArea
- GoTopIndexed: seeks to scopeTop, validates within scopeBottom
- GoBottomIndexed: seeks to scopeBottom boundary
- SkipIndexed: stops at scope boundaries (top and bottom)
- OrdScope RTL function registered (nScope: 0=TOP, 1=BOTTOM)
- scopeKeyFromValue: converts Value to padded key bytes
Index Order Management:
- OrderListFocus: handles numeric order ("2" → order 2)
- SET ORDER TO n: gengo emits hbrt.NtoS for int-to-string conversion
- IndexOrd/OrdCount/OrdName/OrdKey: real implementations (were stubs)
- OrderCount/CurrentOrder/OrderName/OrderKeyExpr accessors on DBFArea
- ClearScope on order switch (prevents stale scope)
Cross-read test: Harbour-created CDX → Five reads, 20/20 items match:
NAME/CITY/ID seek, ORDSCOPE count, GoTop/GoBottom all identical

sort.Slice is unstable: equal keys had random record order.

Bug 1: FIELD->NAME in INDEX ON expression
- evalKeyExprInner: strip FIELD->/alias-> prefix before field lookup
- exprToString: handle AliasExpr (FIELD->NAME → "FIELD->NAME")
Bug 2: AsNumInt() on Double returned IEEE 754 raw bits
- Value.AsNumInt(): check tDouble and convert via Float64frombits
- Fixed array index crash when index is result of % modulo
Bug 3: PACK/ZAP crash with open indexes
- OrderListRebuild: fully implemented (was TODO stub)
Saves index info, closes all, sets idxState=nil, recreates
- OrderCreate: set current=-1 during key evaluation (natural GoTo)
- PACK/ZAP: save/restore idxState, rebuild after operation
- Register __DBPACK, __DBZAP, DBRECALL symbol aliases
Harbour vs Five: 45/47 match (96%), 2 diffs are duplicate-key sort order
