OK. Begging your forbearance, heres what Im trying to do:
usage of op-sibling and op-ppaddr are almost mutually exclusive,
and they can be unionized.
opsibling is set early, and used heavily in optimization,
but rarely afterwards.
ppaddr is set early too, but can be deferred until after optimization,
and initialized in finalize_op, IFF every op gets finalized.
At finalization, opsibling can be saved to an HV,
so its available at runtime for the occasional need.
Ive got the above mostly fleshed out,
but the sticking point so far has been the subtrees
produced by fold-constants and gen-const-list;
theyre not getting visited by finalize_op,
(despite being attached to the larger tree?)
so their ppaddr is null in runtime, causing segvs.
If this is all crazytalk, I'll delete the branch and shut up.
thanks for your time/consideration/insight.
