Fixes #5615

This is a sort-of more involved alternative to #5618; the gist is that we ensure we limit everything to up to 1000 scalar elements across the board. Back when I did #5526, I had something like this, but scaled it back because I didn't think exactness would matter too much so long as we didn't overload LLVM. But, I guess it does matter.

Plan internal aggregate parameter lowering from each complete function
signature. Count scalar leaves, the context parameter, and any hidden
aggregate-result pointer, then pass the largest aggregates indirectly
until the signature fits within the 1,000-parameter limit.

This keeps the ABI policy target-independent and leaves fitting
signatures unchanged. Preserve exported ABIs, validate final WebAssembly
signatures that cannot be rewritten, release temporary roots before
final dead-code elimination, and diagnose incompatible exported methods.

compiler/compiler.go:2326

  • This ABI calculation omits the synthetic typecode parameter that is appended below. At the 1000 parameter boundary, the invoke function spills an aggregate but this call passes it directly, which gives the callee a different ABI.
		abi = b.getInterfaceFunctionABI(instr.Signature())

compiler/interface.go:1350

  • This uses the concrete receiver when it selects indirect parameters. The interface invoke ABI replaces that receiver with a pointer, so it can select different nonreceiver parameters and the wrapper then forwards values with the wrong ABI.
	receiverType := abi.params[0].llvmType
	var expandedReceiverType []llvm.Type
	receiverIndirect := abi.params[0].indirect
	var receiverInfos []paramInfo
	if receiverIndirect {
		receiverInfos = []paramInfo{{llvmType: c.dataPtrType}}
	} else {
		receiverInfos = c.expandDirectFormalParamType(receiverType, "", nil)

Include the interface typecode when budgeting invoke signatures and
keep method parameter lowering consistent between concrete and interface
calls. Preserve valid exported methods with large receivers.

Materialize indirect aggregate phi inputs in their predecessor blocks,
and retain temporary argument-promotion guards through the ThinLTO
pre-link pipeline before final dead-code elimination.

  • This test checks only that the compiler emits the marker. It does not run LowerInterfaces, so the new diagnostic path is not tested. Add a transform or build test that checks the expected error and a compatible exported interface call.
