feat(located): allow ARRAY at a physical address, and detect range collisions - #1080
Conversation
WalkthroughThe change adds IEC slot-range overlap detection and applies array element spans to variable location validation, type checks, and automatic location allocation. Tests cover scalar and array collisions, aliases, address classes, bit ranges, multi-dimensional arrays, and update behavior. ChangesArray location validation
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to Located arrays may fail to compile with the bundled compiler, and arrays exceeding the allocation scan limit can cause newly created variables to receive overlapping physical addresses. The compiler dependency and collision fallback should be corrected before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

location-and-type edits are validated against the resulting type.

…llisions Editor half of openplc-editor#565. The compiler half is Autonomy-Logic/STruCpp#229. **Accept the declaration.** `HR_myData AT %MW60 : ARRAY [0..66] OF WORD` was refused: location validation switched on the variable's own type, and an array fell through to the default branch. It now validates the ELEMENT type against the address class, which is what actually has to fit -- 67 consecutive WORD slots, each a WORD. The refusal came from the MatIEC era, and that constraint left with MatIEC. **Detect the collisions that come with it.** An array is a contiguous area, so `arr AT %QX0.0 : ARRAY [0..9] OF BOOL` runs through `%QX1.1` and conflicts with a plain `flag AT %QX0.6` -- two different address strings, one piece of storage. `checkIfLocationExists` compared locations for string equality, which was sufficient while every variable claimed exactly one slot and silently wrong the moment one could claim more. It now compares slot RANGES, via a new `slotRangesOverlap` beside `parseAddress`, reusing the existing `getArrayTotalElements` for the span. Two properties preserved deliberately: ranges only collide within the same class (`%MW0` and `%MD0` index different runtime arrays and still never overlap), and a location that is not a literal `%…` is an alias name, where the test stays exact equality. **Auto-increment follows.** The next-free-location scan tested set membership against exact strings, so it could stop one slot inside a neighbouring array, or place a new array on top of an existing scalar. It now advances until the candidate's whole span is clear, and steps by the element type -- an array's own `type.value` is the "ARRAY [...] OF T" text, which `incrementLocationByOne` matches against nothing and would have bailed on the first pass. Also fixes `variableLocationValidationErrorMessage` returning `''` for any type with no address class, which surfaced as a bare "Please make sure that the location is valid." with no reason attached. The bundled compiler is still pinned to strucpp v0.6.4, which rejects a located array. STruCpp#229 has to be released and `binary-versions.json` bumped before this reaches users, or the editor accepts a declaration the build then refuses.

Reviewed together with STruCpp#229 and openplc-web#730 (which is a byte-identical mirror of this PR — same findings apply there). Verified the behaviour against the actual compiler by building STruCpp#229, injecting it into a local editor build and compiling located-array projects end-to-end onto an SLM-RP4.
The range-collision model is the right idea and the address-space additions are sound. Four issues below — the first two are gaps in exactly the editor-accepts/compiler-rejects divergence this PR sets out to close.
Note on the injection point for anyone reproducing this: swapping release/app/node_modules/strucpp alone has no effect, because strucpp is webpack-bundled — you also need npm run build:cli:dev.
…ss class Addresses the review findings on this PR. **A type-only edit could widen a located variable unchecked.** The overlap check lived inside `if (dataToBeUpdated.location)`, so changing only the TYPE of an already-located variable never re-ran it: a scalar at %MW0 turned into `ARRAY [0..3] OF WORD` silently grew over %MW1-%MW3 and whatever sat there. The check now also runs on the type branch, and says what would be covered. **A joint location+type edit validated the new location against the OLD type.** Both checks now derive one effective type (`dataToBeUpdated.type ?? variableToUpdate.type`) and one effective span, computed once. **`incrementLocationByOne` could not step half the address classes.** It switched on the variable's type and had no case for BYTE / SINT / USINT, so `%IB` / `%QB` / `%MB` returned null and the auto-increment gave up, keeping a colliding location. Worse, its BOOL case stripped only the `%QX` and `%IX` prefixes, so a memory bit `%MX0.0` fell through with its prefix intact and `parseInt` produced `%IXNaN.NaN`. Replaced with two lines over the `parseAddress` / `formatAddress` pair this branch already introduced: the address states its own size class, and every class advances identically once linearised (a bit address is `byte*8 + bit`, so `%QX0.7` steps to `%QX1.0` without spelling the carry out per class). 64 lines to 16, both holes closed. One behaviour change falls out of that, and it is an improvement: the walk used to give up on any type its switch did not list, LEAVING a known duplicate in place. It now keys off the address, so a colliding location moves on regardless of the type sitting at it. Only a non-address location (an alias name) stops the walk now, which is the honest answer — resolving an alias collision means picking a different alias, not inventing an address. The test that pinned the old no-op is updated to state this. Also drops the `as PLCVariable` assertion from the test fixture, per the repo's no-type-assertions rule.

Two more review findings.
**A multi-dimensional array could be located here and not there.**
`getArrayTotalElements` returns the product of every dimension, so
`AT %MW0 : ARRAY [0..3, 0..3] OF WORD` was accepted, reserved 16 slots and
validated its WORD base type — while the compiler refuses it outright:
Located variable 'MD' at %MW0 cannot be placed: a 2-dimensional array has
no single linear run of addresses to occupy.
That is the same accept-here/reject-there divergence this branch exists to
close, so the editor now refuses it too, in both paths that can produce it: a
location edit, and the type-only patch the array modal dispatches when a user
adds a dimension to an already-located array.
**The auto-increment walk re-scanned every variable on every step.**
Replacing the hoisted `Set` with a `checkIfLocationExists` call per iteration
made it O(iterations x variables x regex): the walk steps one element slot at a
time, so placing an `ARRAY [0..999]` on a taken address would run ~1000
iterations over every variable, each re-parsing its address, synchronously
inside the store's `produce`. The occupied spans are now parsed once before the
loop and each step is a plain interval comparison.

…yOne Hoisting the occupied spans out of the auto-increment loop left `incrementLocationByOne` with two unreachable statements: `collides()` returns false for anything that does not parse, so the loop body only ever ran on a parseable address, and neither its `return null` nor the caller's `break` could be taken. Dead code that no test could honestly cover -- and openplc-web requires 100% statement coverage on this directory, so it would have failed there while passing here (the editor asks for 97). Walking the linear index instead removes the function altogether. Every size class advances identically once linearised, so `%QX0.7 -> %QX1.0` and `%IB0 -> %IB1` are both `+ 1` and the carry never has to be spelled out. The address is parsed once instead of being re-formatted and re-parsed per step. Behaviour is unchanged, including the alias case: a location that does not parse has nothing to step, so it is left as it stands. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Thanks for testing this on hardware rather than reading the diff — three of the four were real, and the two HIGH/MEDIUM ones are exactly the divergence this PR claimed to close. 1. Type-only edit skipped the collision check — fixed ( 2. Validated the new address against the old type — fixed (same commit). Both checks now derive one effective type ( 3. Multi-dimensional arrays — fixed ( 4. The O(iterations × variables × regex) walk — fixed ( That simplification found something worth mentioning: hoisting the scan made One deliberate omission: I wrote a test for the Also corrected: the body said the pin is v0.6.4. It is v0.6.6, as you wrote — my local Honest caveat: everything above is verified by the suite (1848 green), |

This PR resolves the editor half of #565. The compiler half is Autonomy-Logic/STruCpp#229.
Paired mirror PR: Autonomy-Logic/openplc-web#730 — merge together,
ci-syncneeds both.Supersedes the #565 half of #1069, which is being closed.
Do not merge before STruCpp#229 is released and
binary-versions.jsonis bumped to that release.The bundled compiler is pinned to strucpp v0.6.6, which rejects a located array:
Merged as-is, the editor accepts the declaration in the variables table and the build then refuses it with a leaked internal type name — later and more confusing than today's refusal. The pin bump belongs in this PR before it merges.
Description of the changes proposed
Accept the declaration.
HR_myData AT %MW60 : ARRAY [0..66] OF WORDwas refused: location validation switched on the variable's own type, and an array fell through to the default branch. It now validates the element type against the address class, which is what actually has to fit — 67 consecutiveWORDslots, each aWORD. The refusal came from the MatIEC era ("IEC locations cannot be associated with arrays… that's a limitation with the compiler we use"), and that constraint left with MatIEC.Detect the collisions that come with it. This is the part flagged in review, with this example:
An array is a contiguous area.
arr AT %QX0.0 : ARRAY [0..9] OF BOOLruns through%QX1.1, so a plainflag AT %QX0.6conflicts with it — two different address strings, one piece of storage.checkIfLocationExistscompared locations for string equality, which was sufficient while every variable claimed exactly one slot and silently wrong the moment one could claim more; the editor would let you build a project the compiler then rejects.It now compares slot ranges, via a new
slotRangesOverlapbesideparseAddress, reusing the existinggetArrayTotalElementsfor the span.Two properties preserved deliberately:
%MW0and%MD0index different runtime arrays and still never overlap;%…is an alias name, where the test stays exact equality (an alias resolves to one producer channel).Auto-increment follows. The next-free-location scan tested set membership against exact strings, so it could stop one slot inside a neighbouring array, or place a new array on top of an existing scalar. It now advances until the candidate's whole span is clear — and steps by the element type, because an array's own
type.valueis the"ARRAY [...] OF T"text, whichincrementLocationByOnematches against nothing and would have bailed on the first pass.Both ends agree now. STruCpp#229 detects the same overlap by range in the compiler, and this PR makes the editor refuse the same set — overlapping ranges, and multi-dimensional arrays, which have no single linear run of addresses to occupy. Before, either would be accepted here and rejected at build time.
Also fixed:
variableLocationValidationErrorMessagereturned''for any type with no address class (a STRUCT, an enum), which surfaced as a bare "Please make sure that the location is valid." — a refusal with no reason attached.DOD checklist
Verification
tsc --noEmit— 0 errors.jest src/frontend/store src/middleware/shared/utils/iec-address— 43 suites, 1815 tests green, including 11 new ones: the scalar-inside-array case, an array swallowing a scalar, a scalar immediately past the end,%MW0vs%MD0, alias equality preserved, a scalar widening into an array in one edit, and the auto-increment skipping an occupied span.compare-surfaces.pyagainst web#730 —match: True, 0 diffs.Not verified end to end
The full path (declare the array, compile, read the
%MWover Modbus) needs the STruCpp release first — the bundled v0.6.6 refuses it. The compiler side is verified on its own in STruCpp#229, including a run of the generated C++ showing 67 descriptors over%MW60–%MW126bound to distinct storage.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
