Summary

  • Updates Pypm.asm language and entry for the post-Sept PMLL C core (memory_silo_t, peek / peek_semantic, init_pml assignments at -1).
  • Replaces the stale PYPM v0.0.3-dev / pypm_init-only stub with a banner + pmll_asm_boot smoke that exercises init_silo / silo_set / peek.
  • Adds pmll_asm_boot (and a thin pypm_init wrapper) in Pypm.c / Pypm.h.

Test plan

  • nasm -f elf64 Pypm.asm && cc -DPMLL_NO_MAIN -c PMLL.c Pypm.c && cc -no-pie -o pypm-asm Pypm.o PMLL.o Pypm.o (adjust objs) boots and exits 0
  • Existing Pypm.c CLI main still builds when not using the asm _start

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a startup routine that initializes the application core, stores a boot marker, verifies it, and cleans up afterward.
    • Added public support for starting the application through the updated boot entry point.
  • Updates

    • Updated the startup banner to identify the PMLL core and its initialization state.
    • Startup now reports success or failure through its exit status while preserving the existing launch flow.

Refresh the x86_64 entry banner and boot through pmll_asm_boot so assembly links against init_silo/peek instead of the stale pypm_init-only stub.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The assembly entry point now calls a PMLL boot routine. The routine initializes an 8-slot silo, stores and validates "asm:boot", then cleans up. The assembly message and public declarations reflect the PMLL integration.

Changes

PMLL boot path

Layer / File(s) Summary
PMLL boot routine and interface
Pypm.h, Pypm.c
The public header declares pmll_asm_boot. The C implementation initializes an 8-slot silo, stores "asm:boot", validates it with peek, frees the silo on failure or success, and retains pypm_init and pypm_cleanup symbols.
Assembly entry integration
Pypm.asm
_start prints the PMLL message, calls pmll_asm_boot, and preserves the existing exit status handling. The message length excludes the trailing NUL byte.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7dba9

The new assembly boot executable may not build using its documented command because both the C runtime and the assembly object define the process entry point. Update the command before merge so the advertised smoke path is usable.

Add -nostartfiles to the custom-entry link command.

The default cc link includes crt1.o, which defines _start. Pypm.o also defines _start, so the command can fail with a duplicate-symbol error. Keep libc available and suppress only the startup objects.

Proposed fix
-;   cc -no-pie -o pypm-asm Pypm.o PMLL.o Pypm_api.o
+;   cc -no-pie -nostartfiles -o pypm-asm Pypm.o PMLL.o Pypm_api.o
