#!/usr/bin/env python3 """scope_data_externs.py — place a templated body's DATA externs at the scope the target TU can accept (Phase 26, cookbook §8d). The missing recovery step that unblocks the heavy-jr ×N family sweeps. THE BUG IT FIXES (byte-proven on func_8015AE2C -> ov_SC01_000) ------------------------------------------------------------- `family_remap.gather_externs` carries the exemplar's decls for every symbol the body references and prepends them at FILE scope (family_remap.py, remap_hseq). For a per-location DATA symbol that the target TU declares only at BLOCK scope — inside its OWN later functions, loosely typed — that carried file-scope decl ESTABLISHES A GLOBAL DECLARATION the TU never had, and every later block-scope `extern` of that symbol must now agree with it. They don't (the engine is loosely typed), so gcc-2.7.2 rejects the TU. The asymmetry, both halves byte-proven by the whole-binary gate: BLOCK(int) -> BLOCK(struct Ent *) -> FILE(void *) ... builds [ OK ] (the region, stub state) FILE(void *) -> BLOCK(int) -> ... conflicting types for `D_801812A4' (ERROR) Example: ov_SC01_000's `D_801812A4` is a fn-ptr dispatch table declared FOUR incompatible ways in one region — `(int)` and `(struct Ent_8015CD20 *)` at block scope inside func_8015C128 / func_8015CD20, then `(void *)` at file scope. That compiles. Prepend the body's `extern void (*D_801812A4[])(void *);` above them and it does not. THE FIX ------- Emit the carried extern at BLOCK scope (inside the function body) whenever the TU has NO file-scope decl of that symbol above the insertion point. Then it declares no global, nothing below it can conflict, and the TU's own decl environment is preserved exactly. This is the §8c principle ("splitting a TU means rebuilding its declaration environment") applied to templating: a carried decl must not CHANGE the environment — and it restores fidelity, because the original source declares these symbols at block scope in precisely the same way (m2c/Ghidra emit per-function externs there). BYTE-NEUTRAL: an `extern` declaration emits no code, and moving it changes neither the symbol nor the declared type, so every access keeps its opcode. Only name lookup moves. The whole-binary byte-gate (G3/P9) remains the sole arbiter — a wrong placement just fails the gate and the sibling reverts. NEVER WORSE THAN THE STATUS QUO: if the symbol DOES have a file-scope decl above, we leave the line alone (identical spelling = a legal duplicate; a differing spelling is the §41 reconcile class and is an error at file scope either way, so demoting could not have saved it — the `reconciled` stage is the fallback there). SCOPE: `D_` data externs only. Function externs stay at file scope so `cast_call_sites` / `canon_sig_reconcile` (which parse file-scope decls) keep working on them; gcc tolerates mismatched function decls with a pedwarn, so they are not the failing class.
