Drop __mul_used from IrOp::Mul codegen and __div_used from IrOp::Div
/ IrOp::Mod codegen (modulo reuses the same routine). The linker
skips gen_multiply / gen_divide for programs that never emit the
markers, following the same pattern already used by __audio_used /
__ppu_update_used / __sprite_cycle_used.
The optimizer already rewrites multiplies and divides by constant
powers of two into shifts (and modulo by constant powers of two
into masks), so the markers only fire for genuinely runtime math.
A program like `examples/comparisons.ne` that never multiplies or
divides now reclaims ~56 bytes of PRG; programs that use only one
of the two reclaim the other's share.
Audio goldens flip for every example that uses audio. The .ne
sources are unchanged and the pixel goldens are byte-identical —
the audio stream differs only because removing the math routines
shifts the audio tick's absolute address in PRG by 56 bytes, which
changes which of its internal branches cross 6502 page boundaries
and therefore the per-frame cycle count of a single NMI by 1-5
clocks. Over 180 frames the accumulated drift shifts APU register
write timing enough to render a different digital sample stream
at the same logical wave shape. Expected consequence of ROM-layout
change under cycle-accurate emulation; documented path per
CLAUDE.md "Updating goldens".

Struct field types beyond the v1 scalar set (`u8`, `i8`, `u16`,
`bool`) used to error out with `E0201: struct fields must be
u8/i8/u16/bool`. The size accumulator already handled them
correctly — what was missing was: (1) the analyzer side that
synthesizes per-leaf symbols and allocations for nested structs
plus a single array-typed symbol for array fields, (2) the
parser's chained-field-access path, and (3) the IR-lowering
recursion through nested struct literal initializers and array
literal field values.
The synthetic-variable model carries through unchanged: a
`var p: Player` where `Player { pos: Vec2, hp: u8, inv: u8[4] }`
and `Vec2 { x: u8, y: u8 }` produces flat allocations for
`p.pos.x`, `p.pos.y`, `p.hp`, and `p.inv`, plus an intermediate
`p.pos` Struct symbol so dotted-name lookups still resolve. Array
fields get a single allocation with the array type so the
existing `Expr::ArrayIndex` lowering path handles `p.inv[i]`
without changes. Array-of-structs is still rejected with E0201
because the synthetic model can't index per-element layouts
without further codegen work.
The parser change is the only structural move: `parse_primary`
and `parse_assign_or_call` now loop the dot chain into a single
joined identifier so `p.pos.x` becomes `FieldAccess("p.pos", "x")`
and `p.inv[0]` becomes `ArrayIndex("p.inv", 0)`. The downstream
analyzer and IR lowering use the same `format!("{name}.{field}")`
join they already used for one-level access — no plumbing
changes required.
Includes a new `examples/nested_structs.ne` that exercises both
features end-to-end with two `Hero` instances carrying nested
positions and inventory arrays. The reproducibility tripwire
ROM is committed alongside it and the emulator harness has a
matching pair of golden files.
