araq e0c0724b62 IC: the link stage no longer loads the module graph 
`--icBackendStage:link` called `loadBackendModules` — a whole-program
deserialization — for exactly two things: each module's `.c` path via
`getCFile`, and its recorded C compile/link directives via
`replayBackendActions`. That was 3.7s of the ~11s serial backend critical path
on a 219-module program, spent recovering a list of paths and a handful of
strings.

Both now come from artifacts the earlier stages already produce:

* `.c` paths from the driver's existing `LiveModulesFile` manifest (which
  `merge` already reads); the `.c` sits beside each listed `.c.nif`, so no new
  manifest was needed. The merge-decision fallback for conditionally-imported
  nodes that own a live symbol is kept.
* C directives from a new `<module>.c.cflags` sidecar. The module's own `cg`
  already replays them, so it writes them down too — one tab-separated line per
  `compile`/`link`/`passl`/`passc`/`localpassc`/`cppdefine` action. `localpassc`
  needs the module's source path, which only the writer can resolve, so it is
  baked into the line. Written unconditionally, empty included: it is a declared
  nifmake output of the `cg` rule and a missing output re-fires the rule for
  ever.

link: 3.70s -> 0.44s. A one-line code edit on the corpus goes 15.2s -> 11.8s;
cold 124s -> 120s; no-op unchanged at 0.27s.

Green: 16/16 metamorphic IC tests, the 17-file `koch ic` suite, 13/13
differential edit checks against `nim c`, and `bootic` iteration 1 (the full
fixed-point check was still running when this was committed).

Nim Compiler

  • This directory contains the Nim compiler written in Nim.
  • Note that this code has been translated from a bootstrapping version written in Pascal.
  • So the code is not a poster child of good Nim code.

See Internals of the Nim Compiler for more information.
