A ^double/^long return hint on a fn's name now (a) coerces the fn's value on the way out — exact->inexact / jolt->fx, like a JVM primitive return — and (b) types a call to it, so an accumulator over the result specializes: (defn ^double work [^double x ^double y] (+ (* x x) (* y y))) (loop [acc 0.0] (recur (+ acc (work a b)))) ; (+ acc (work ..)) -> fl+ The analyzer pushes the name's numeric tag onto each arity (:ret-nhint) for the back-end coercion, and resolve-global surfaces the callee's declared return (:num-ret, read from var meta) onto the :var node so jolt.passes.numeric types the call. defn carries the name hint through. This unblocks the accumulator-over-fn-result pattern that round 2 had to demote. The win is bounded by call overhead in an open/dispatched build (~1.15x on a hot loop whose body is a helper call); it compounds with direct-linking and, later, inlining. A numeric return hint is a contract, like ^long — redefining the var to return another type in an open build breaks it. Not yet: per-arity arglist return hints, (defn f (^double [x] ..)). Gate: test/chez/numeric-test.ss 39/39; full make test green, 0 new corpus divergences. |

Chez test harness
The correctness gate for jolt. Pure Chez (+ Clojure for the JVM oracle).
Correctness is judged against the JVM-sourced conformance spec; the spec itself
lives in test/conformance/ (see its SPEC.md). Run the whole gate with make test from the repo root.
The spec corpus
corpus.edn is the contract: ~2920 rows {:suite :label :expected :actual}, with
:expected sourced from reference JVM Clojure by test/conformance/regen-corpus.clj.
It is frozen (the canonical source) — add or change cases here, then re-source the
answers with regen-corpus.clj and re-certify with test/conformance/certify.clj.
The gate runners (host/chez/)
-
run-corpus.ss— runs every corpus case through the spine (read → analyze → IR → emit → eval, all on Chez), comparing each result by value-equality against the JVM:expected. Aknown-failallowlist covers cases jolt can't match because Chez has no JVM host (Java classes, arrays,BigDecimal, opaque host-object printers, …); the gate fails only on a NEW divergence or if the pass count drops below the floor.chez --script host/chez/run-corpus.ss JOLT_CORPUS_LIMIT=200 … # every-Nth stride, fast iteration JOLT_CHEZ_ZJ_FLOOR=N … # override the floor (default 2678) -
run-unit.ss— host-specific unit cases (test/chez/unit.edn) that aren't in the JVM-portable corpus: dot-forms, java statics, io, reader, walk, vars/namespaces, refs. Each:expris evaluated in-process and its printed value compared to a baked:expected(:throwsasserts a raise). -
selfcheck.sh— self-host fixpoint:bootstrap.ssrebuild byte-equals the checked-in seed (host/chez/seed/). -
smoke.sh— realbin/joltc -eCLI smoke.
Other Chez tests
values-test.ss— the value model (nil/truthiness/collections).make values.bench-chez.ss— compute bench through the pipeline (opt-in; not in the gate).
All runners assume chez on PATH.
