Introduce infrastructure to use multiple arguments in instructions. Pass them as a vector to the helper function.

Apply this infrastructure for task instruction to allow differentiate tasks with random arguments. Instead of passing a flag, allow to pass a task argument as it is, and introduce another helper random_string. Along the way allow to have helpers without arguments.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Tasks can receive space-separated arguments when executed.
    • Random string values can be generated and passed to tasks.
    • Task execution returns the process exit code.
    • Example workloads demonstrate passing generated values to tasks.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Task scripts with and without arguments are parsed and executed reliably.
    • Existing no-argument task calls remain supported.
  • Changes

    • Dynamic instructions now require parentheses and arguments.
    • Values can include underscores.

Walkthrough

The script grammar and rule application prepare task arguments. Runtime code generation passes variable-length argument vectors, supports random_string(), and returns task exit codes. Workloads and tests cover task calls with and without arguments.

Changes

Task argument execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Parse and normalize task arguments
src/script/grammar.peg, src/script/rules.rs, src/script/ast.rs
Dynamic calls require an argument group. Values allow underscores. Argument-free task calls receive an empty constant argument. Instruction variants now have documentation comments.
Generate and execute variable arguments
src/worker/script.rs
Runtime registration, instruction dispatch, and LLVM calls support variable-length argument vectors. task executes supplied arguments and returns the process exit code. random_string() returns a tracked seven-character string pointer.
Validate task calls
workloads/example.ber, workloads/example.short.ber, src/main.rs
Example workloads pass random_string() to task. Tests execute prepared task calls with and without arguments.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to fa60a

Dynamic helpers now require parenthesized arguments while still supporting empty argument lists, with no remaining merge-readiness risk identified.

In `@src/script/grammar.peg`:
- Line 20: Update the dynamic helper parsing around dynamicName so randomPath
and randomString only match when their names are not followed by an identifier
character, preventing prefixed names such as random_string_value from being
partially consumed while preserving valid helper calls.

In `@src/script/rules.rs`:
- Around line 14-15: Update apply_task_rules and the JIT task argument handling
so task(stub) preserves zero arguments instead of creating an empty Arg::Const
that becomes a child argument; if the ABI requires a placeholder, carry an
explicit argument count and ensure Command::args receives no arguments.

In `@src/worker/script.rs`:
- Line 125: Update the argument construction in the task process invocation to
use whitespace-aware splitting instead of splitting on a literal space, so an
empty normalized task produces no process arguments while preserving parsing of
non-empty arguments.
- Around line 460-464: Update the true and false constants registered by
ScriptWorker::new so Arg::Var values match the pointer-width type expected by
runtime calls such as RUNTIME["debug"], or introduce a boolean runtime type that
rejects booleans for pointer-only helpers; preserve correct boolean semantics
while preventing i1 arguments from being passed as iptr parameters.
- Around line 489-491: Update ScriptWorker::jit_instruction and the
RUNTIME["task"] declaration so task calls support the full
Instruction::Task.args vector without passing more operands than the callee
accepts; adopt an ABI with an explicit argument count and pointer array, or
consolidate arguments into a single supported representation, while preserving
single-argument task behavior.

Mark `args` rule non-optional in dynamic variables, since it will
enforce parethnesis, while still having optional arguments inside.

Add `_` to the constants.

If you change .split(' ') to .split_whitespace() you should be able to simplify this a bit to something like:

let args = if !args.is_null() {
    unsafe { CStr::from_ptr(args) }
} else {
    c""
};
let task = Command::new(name.to_str().unwrap())
    .args(args.to_str().unwrap().split_whitespace())
    .status()
    .expect("Failed to execute task");

This would work because split_whitespace() returns no elements when the string is empty and .args() will immediately return on an iterator that returns no elements without changing the command.

Since the vector is immediately reconstructed before returning, your probably safe to not disassemble it in the first place, something like this should work:

    fn jit_instruction(name: &CStr, args: Vec<Arg>, ctx: &BuildContext) {
        let mut args = args
            .iter()
            .map(|a| Self::get_arg_value(a.clone(), ctx))
            .collect::<Vec<_>>();

            .module_runtime
