W1001 | Unused variable binding |
W1002 | Unused function definition (no example) |
W1003 | Unreachable code after return, break, or continue (no example) |
W1004 | Unnecessary mutable binding (let mut x where x is never reassigned) (no example) |
W1005 | Shadowed variable in same scope (no example) |
W1006 | Redundant borrow (&&x) (no example) |
W1007 | Implicit type widening in as cast (no example) |
W1008 | Empty match arm body (no example) |

W1010 | Unnecessary unsafe block (no unsafe ops inside) (no example) |
W1013 | Redundant as cast to same type (no example) |
W1014 | Narrowing cast loses precision (no example) |
W1020 | Immediately dereferenced borrow (*&x) (no example) |
W1022 | Transfer to same memory space (no-op) (no example) |
W1023 | Spawn on Topology::Current (no-op) (no example) |
W1024 | Implicit cross-topology transfer inserted via a Relocatable impl (a real data movement happens silently at the use site; write the transfer explicitly to silence). Relocatable answers "may this value move implicitly?" and is keyed on a user type. That is a different question from "what code moves bytes across this hardware edge?", which is impl Transfer<Memory::A, Memory::B> for Topology::X. Both were called Transfer before Vx#353. (no example) |
W1025 | Use of a user-defined topology with no registered descriptor (not declared via Topology <Name> { ... } and not registered by a plugin). Often a typo of a built-in; defaults to host-like placement. (no example) |
W1026 | A user-defined topology's memory is unreachable from the host (no transfer path), so data can never be moved to it. See the topology coherence check. (no example) |
W1027 | A declared relaxed transfer edge does not preserve visibility (the seam engine shows a consumer may read stale data). See the topology coherence check. (no example) |
W1028 | The working set of a memory space exceeds capacity, but the space is declared overcommit, so the cumulative-budget errors (E6010, and the cross-call E6027/E6028) are downgraded to this warning. (no example) |
W1029 | A tensor placed in a memory space that declares a capacity has a *dynamic* (non- literal) shape, so the capacity check (E6009/E6010) could not run — the placement is unverified. Silence by making the shape static, or bounding it. Emitted only when the destination space actually declares a capacity. (no example) |
W1030 | A topology's device index is not a compile-time constant (GPU[i] for a runtime i), so it cannot be resolved to a device instance and falls back to index 0. Every such spawn therefore targets the same device. Vx models one representative device per declared kind (#284), so a fleet program should index with constants or const generics. (no example) |
W1031 | A proof obligation could not be discharged because no SMT solver was available, so the property is **unverified** rather than proved. Distinct from W1027, which means the solver ran and found a violation. Emitted only under VX_ALLOW_UNVERIFIED; without it a missing solver is an error, because silence used to be indistinguishable from success (Vx#374). (no example) |

E3013 | Missing struct field in initialization (no example) |
E3014 | Range type mismatch (no example) |
E3015 | Trait not implemented (no example) |
E3016 | A generic call that leaves one of the callee's type parameters unbound: no argument fixes it, and no type declared for the result does either. Left alone, the parameter travelled into the instance's symbol name as its bare letter and sizeof<T>() folded to 8, so a buffer was sized for an element type that was never chosen. Spell the type argument out, as Vec<i32>::new(), or give the result a type, as let v : Vec<i32> = Vec::new();. |
E3017 | Closure argument count or type mismatch (no example) |
E3018 | An array literal whose elements are not scalars, or which is empty. An array literal lowers to tensor.from_elements, whose element type must be a scalar, so [a, b] for tensors — placed or not — has nothing to lower to, and an empty literal has no element type to give it. Both used to be accepted by the checker (the element type silently stayed at its f32 default) and then crash codegen with an internal error rather than a diagnostic. See Vx#354. |
E3019 | A match arm whose integer literal cannot be represented in the scrutinee's type. The arm can never be selected, so the program does not mean what it says. Codegen used to parse the literal with a zero fallback, which turned an unrepresentable arm into a comparison against 0 — so the arm fired for scrutinee 0, the most common value there is, with no diagnostic. |
E3036 | A static call to a method several traits supply, where no impl takes the argument types written. Reported instead of an ambiguity (E3035), because ambiguity is not what went wrong: the call named one thing and the arguments ruled every candidate out. The message lists the impls that do exist, which is the edit. |
E3020 | A match that no arm is guaranteed to match. A match over an enum must name every variant or carry a wildcard arm, wherever it sits. The uncovered value falls through, and when every written arm returns, the function falls off its end and hands back whatever was in the return slot. A scrutinee that is not an enum cannot be enumerated, so it is only asked for a wildcard in value position, where the fall-through edge would otherwise have no value to carry — codegen used to paper over that by evaluating the whole match to a constant zero. |
E3021 | An enum variant whose payload is a tensor. A payload is stored into the variant's tagged-union slot with llvm.insertvalue, which takes primitive operands, and a tensor is a memref descriptor. The AST path dropped such a payload silently: the construction emitted the tag and nothing else, so a program carrying a tensor through an enum compiled, ran, and lost it with no diagnostic. A struct field holding a tensor is the same representational gap in another position. |
E3022 | An extern function whose signature mentions a tensor. A tensor is a memref, and lowering expands a memref parameter into the seven scalars of its descriptor — allocated pointer, aligned pointer, offset, and a size and stride per rank. So fn c_take(t : Tensor<f32, [?, ?]>) -> i32 declares a C symbol taking seven arguments, which is not a signature anyone writes on the C side; the call links by name and passes something the callee never agreed to. Take a raw pointer and build the tensor in Vx (Tensor<f32, [?, ?]>::from_ptr_2d), which is what the corpus already does. |
E3023 | A shaped tensor initialized from a scalar. let a : Tensor<f32, [128, 64]> = 1.0 allocated and filled a whole buffer from something that reads as an assignment, and the two codegen paths disagreed about it: the AST path emitted the allocation and a linalg.fill, the flat path kept the bare constant and handed an f32 to a call expecting a memref. Tensor<T, [..]>::fill(v) is the spelling. The rank-0 wrap (Tensor<f32, []> = 1.0) is a different thing and stays legal. |
E3024 | .shape[i] on a tensor. It answered on any value, not only a tensor, and typed its answer as a rank-0 tensor. extent(i) is the read of a run-time extent. (no example) |
E3025 | extent(i) with an index that is not a literal below the tensor's rank. Rank is static, so the index is checked here rather than read past the descriptor at run time. (no example) |
E3026 | A placement query (.topology()) the checker cannot decide. Placement is a fact of the receiver's type, compared with Some(Topology::..) or None; it has no run-time value. |
E3027 | A function whose return type is a closure. A closure value points into the frame that made it, so it cannot outlive that frame yet. |
E3028 | A function with a non-void return type whose body can complete without returning. Reported here rather than left to codegen, where it surfaced as an MLIR verifier message naming an operation, with no source location. |
E3029 | A type name in a signature that names no declaration. An unknown name in type position parses as a user nominal, so without this a typo — or a type constructor removed from the language — compiled silently and did nothing. |
E3030 | An operator applied to operand types it is not defined on — % on a shaped tensor or on a bool. Refused here because the alternative is worse in both directions: the flat emitter would decline and fall back to a path that cannot lower it either, and an i1 operand would reach arith.remsi and verify. |
E3031 | impl Copy for X where one of X's fields is a type that moves. Copy promises a value survives being assigned elsewhere, and a field that does not survive it breaks that promise for the whole type — which would be a way to duplicate a tensor, or any other placed value, without saying so. |
E3032 | A chain of generic instantiations that does not end — f<N - 1>() whose base case is never reached. Reported here rather than left to run out of stack, which gave no file, no line and no message. |
E3033 | A comptime block the evaluator could not finish. The block runs during compilation and leaves nothing behind, so one that cannot be run has no meaning — and used to be emitted as ordinary run-time code, which hid the fact entirely. |
E3034 | A comptime block inside another one. The outer block already runs at compile time, so the inner one asks for nothing extra, and nesting them is what made a block's value depend on evaluating a closure defined inside another block. |
E3035 | A method name that more than one impl block defines for the same type. The impls are kept in a hash map, so which body a call reached used to change from one run of the compiler to the next; refusing the call is the only answer that is the same twice. |
E3037 | An impl of a trait that declares an associated type does not bind it. The trait's signatures are written against Self::Item, so with no binding there is nothing to put in their place, and the method's type becomes whatever the impl happened to write. |
E3038 | type Item = .. in an impl whose trait declares no Item. Usually a misspelling: nothing reads the binding, so it would go on meaning nothing, in silence. |
E3039 | I::Item disagrees with the impl for what I is: an argument bound it to one type and that impl binds Item to another. |
E3040 | I::Item where no impl for what I is binds an associated type named Item: I has no such bound, or the name is misspelled. |
E3041 | A struct field that names I::Item. Fields are laid out from the struct's parameters alone, so the projection is made a parameter instead, as Map<I, F> does with its closure. |
| Code | Meaning |
E6001 | Topology mismatch in function call |
E6002 | Cannot transfer between memory spaces (no hardware path) |
E6003 | A value is used from a topology that cannot see the memory space it lives in. The diagnostic names the value's space, the visible set of the topology reading it, and the cost of the transfer that would fix it — so a misplaced handoff (an un-transferred KV cache in a disaggregated prefill/decode split, say) is a compile error that carries its own remedy. A managed: cached space the topology can reach across a declared seam is coherent in hardware and is not reported here. |
E6004 | Transfer violates the boundary contract at a seam (per-seam local-completeness / soundness obligation is sat; a stale read can violate the contract). |
E6005 | A user-defined topology declaration is incoherent: it cannot see its own default memory space (default_space ∉ visibility). See the topology coherence check. |
E6006 | A Memory declaration's within: hierarchy forms a cycle (a space contains itself). |
E6007 | A Memory sub-space's capacity exceeds its parent's capacity (a child cannot be larger than what contains it). |
E6008 | A Memory declaration has a non-positive capacity, bandwidth, or granule. |
E6009 | A statically-shaped tensor placed in a memory space exceeds that space's capacity. |
E6010 | The working set placed in a memory space (the sum of its tiles) exceeds capacity. Downgraded to W1028 when the space is declared overcommit. |
E6011 | A sub-space's scope is broader than its parent's (locality must narrow down within:). |
E6012 | The same Memory or Topology name is declared by two compilation inputs (e.g. a --machine file and the program). Declarations are name-keyed, so one would silently shadow the other and the machine model in force would depend on load order (#281). |
E6013 | A declared transfer edge carries an explicit cost *and* has one derivable from its endpoints' bandwidth: figures. An edge gets exactly one cost source, because two answers to "what does this hop cost" is not a model: the compiler routed by the declared number and reported the derived one, and nothing detected the disagreement. |
E6014 | A program stages through host memory while a machine model is in force, and no host was declared. --machine describes an accelerator and says nothing about the machine it hangs off, so the host end of that seam was being reasoned about without anything describing it. --host <file> names one; --host default names the machine compiling the program. A host declares no capacity — host memory is virtual, and a hard limit would reject programs that page rather than fail — so this is about the host being *stated* rather than assumed, not about a budget. |
E6015 | A structurally invalid transfer lowering (impl transfer A -> B { ... }): the same edge implemented twice in one compilation (which one is in force would be load order), or a lowering with no functions (an empty body cannot move anything, and accepting it would make impl transfer an inert annotation rather than code). |
E6016 | A Topology or Memory declaration whose identity cannot be relied on. Two forms: the declared name shadows a built-in topology (every use of Topology::<Name> resolves to the built-in, so the declaration is silently ignored — including its arch:); or two declared names collide on one dispatch id (custom ids are derived from the name by hashing), in which case which declaration is in force would be hash-iteration order — observed as the same program getting a device image on some runs and not others for a topology, and as a transfer carrying the other space's capacity and granule for a memory space. |
E6017 | A misuse of the raw:: transfer-lowering primitives (Vx#353): a raw:: call outside an impl transfer body, an unknown primitive name, a tile argument that is not a bare parameter name (the primitives are indexed, not addressed), a store into a tile not held by &mut, or a wrongly typed index/value. |
E6018 | A raw:: bounds obligation (0 <= index < extent) that could not be proven. Prove it with a loop bound or invariant the SMT prover can see, or assert it in an unsafe block — which records the obligation as asserted-not-proven, the same standing an unverified spec: figure has. |
E6019 | raw::barrier() anywhere but a top-level statement of the lowering body. The barrier's contract requires every lane to reach it; under a conditional or a loop that cannot be guaranteed syntactically, so it is rejected outright (conservative by design — restructure the body so the barrier is unconditional). |
E6020 | raw::async_copy in a lowering for an edge no declared topology equips with a copy engine. The capability lives in the machine file (transfer A -> B copy_engine); using an absent primitive is a compile error, not a fallback. |
E6021 | A violation of the async/synchronization discipline in a lowering body: a destination read while an async_copy into it is still outstanding, a body that ends with copies no async_wait covers, or a lowering for a synchronizing edge whose body does not end with raw::barrier() (the seam obligation of hir/seam.rs: a relaxed publication makes a stale read reachable). |
E6022 | An impl transfer lowering whose edge endpoints are not visible to a topology that declares the edge — the lowering would execute on a part that cannot address the spaces it moves bytes between, which the transfer contract's space-visibility constraint forbids. |
E6023 | An impl transfer lowering whose declared tile shape is not the shape the transfer at hand actually moves. A lowering is selected by edge, so nothing else relates the two, and the raw:: primitives take their extents from the declaration: a smaller declaration copies part of the tile and leaves the rest uninitialised, a larger one stores past the end (observed as a SIGSEGV). |
E6024 | A proof obligation could not be discharged because no SMT solver was available. Fails the compilation by default: an undischarged obligation is not a proved one, and treating the two alike is what let a missing z3 certify every seam in silence (Vx#374). Set VX_ALLOW_UNVERIFIED=1 to downgrade this to W1031 and compile anyway. (no example) |
E6025 | A placement naming a location the machine does not have: a memory space no declared topology holds, written either as the space or as the device that would hold it. The derivation between the two spellings has a like-named fallback, so an undeclared name resolves to a space that exists only in the placement that mentions it. |
E6026 | A tensor whose element type the target hardware cannot represent, placed on it anyway. The machine model states what a device has (dtypes: [f32, f16, ...]); this is the check that a placement stays inside it. An H100 has no fp4, so an fp4 tensor placed on one asks for silicon that is not there — and the placement is in the type, so the question is answerable here rather than at a kernel launch on the machine that lacks the type. Only fires against a topology that declares dtypes:. An undeclared machine constrains nothing, which is what keeps every machine file written before the field kept working. |
E6027 | A working set that overflows a space only across call boundaries: the peak along some call path — what each caller still holds when it calls, plus the deepest callee's own peak — exceeds the space's declared capacity, while every function on the path fits by itself (that case is E6010's). Computed by folding per-function capacity summaries over the call graph, after the per-function checks. Downgraded to W1028 when the space is declared overcommit. |
E6028 | A recursive cycle that places tiles in a space with a declared capacity. The recursion depth is not known at compile time, so the true peak is unbounded and the placement is refused conservatively. Downgraded to W1028 when the space is declared overcommit. |
