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
go test ./hbrdd/dbf/ -run TestRLockBlocksAcrossProcesses PASS
go test ./... ALL PASS

The gap-analysis doc (docs/gap-analysis.md) is a running inventory
of what works vs what's still missing vs Harbour 3.2, written for
users evaluating Five for production — not a sales pitch.
