While playing an online Item Rain match on Retro Rewind, a blue shell exploded on a banana and crashed the game with InvokeIndirectJump: target 0x0 is not a registered function (lr=0x807a1a68).

Retro Rewind hooks Item::Obj::ProcessOtherCollision at 0x807A1A54. When an item doesn't have a collision callback, the hook adds 20 to its return address (mtlr; blr) to skip past the function call. Because WiiCompiled only tracked Wiimmfi hooks and only looked for bctr jumps, this continuation was never generated, and execution fell through into calling a null function pointer.

This PR adds support for mtlr + blr skip-returns in ContinuationPlanner and includes Kamek BranchLink patches in continuation tracking so these targets are properly generated and dispatched. Unit tests have been added and all 574 tests pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change moves LR-relative indirect jump analysis into ContinuationPlanner. EmitModCpp includes BranchLink patches in hook continuation planning and delegates offset discovery to the shared planner. Tests cover LR propagation, stack updates, LR restores, address gaps, indirect jumps, and generated continuation dispatch.

Added some regression tests for branching skip-return hooks, there are some cases where this fails:

separate +20 and +40 paths get combined into +60, and a normal-return path can erase a valid +20 continuation. Could you update to keep those paths separate?

Preserve LR state per control-flow path.

This assertion fails with the current planner. The disassembler returns both reachable arms in address order, but DiscoverLrRelativeIndirectJumpOffsets uses one lrOffsets map. It applies both adjustments and yields 60, not 20 and 40.

The same path-state loss also makes the test at Line 46 return no offset because the normal-arm mtlr r31 overwrites the skip-return state. Implement control-flow-aware dataflow that keeps separate LR states until valid merge points.

Signal truncation when the step cap is reached.

The loop stops at MaxEvaluationSteps and returns the offsets found so far. A caller cannot distinguish a complete result from a truncated one. A truncated result means a missing continuation target, which is the failure mode this change fixes. Add an out-parameter, a result record, or at least a diagnostic log so callers can detect the truncation.

479-496: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Invalidate every GPR written by multi-register loads.

TryInstructionWritesDest clears only operand 0. The decoder represents lmw as lmw rD,..., but lmw writes rD through r31. Therefore, lmw r30,... can leave a stale LR-derived value in r31; a later mtlr r31 can emit a false continuation offset. Track the complete write range and add an lmw regression test.

Exclude blrl from return detection.

PpcInstruction.IsCall classifies blrl as a call. The continuation planner then clears nextState.LrReturnOffset, but the return branch reads state.LrReturnOffset, emits the stale offset, and stops on the non-conditional branch. Gate return detection on the call predicate.

317-320: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The gap-crossing fallthrough fallback is still present.

GetFallthroughIndex returns currentIndex + 1 when instruction.EndAddress is not in indexByAddress. DisassembleFunction sorts reachable addresses and can truncate at maxInstructions or maxBytes, so instructions[currentIndex + 1] is not always address-adjacent. In that case the analysis propagates PathState across an address gap and can yield an offset that no real path produces. Return null when the end address is absent.

138-141: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Use contiguous addresses in these instruction lists.

The decoded addresses skip words: 0x8180D8E8, 0x8180D8FC, 0x8180D900, 0x8180D910. DiscoverLrRelativeIndirectJumpOffsets therefore cannot resolve fallthrough by EndAddress and passes only through the currentIndex + 1 fallback in GetFallthroughIndex. The same applies to DiscoverLrRelativeIndirectJumpOffsets_IgnoresStandardLrRestore at Lines 154-158. Use consecutive 4-byte addresses so the tests exercise real address-adjacent control flow.

Added two regression tests in 3a06c26: stack-restored LR and a bounded loop both lose a valid +8 continuation that the old scanner found; local suite: 585 passed, these 2 failed.

Alright anything else?

370-375: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Document why the r1 self-adjustment does not call WithAdjustedStackPointer.

WithAdjustedStackPointer already bumps LrOffsets["r1"] by the displacement. This addi branch instead calls WithSpDelta alone, then lets the shared block below re-derive LrOffsets["r1"] from the (unbumped) old value plus imm. The two paths produce the same result today, but only because WithSpDelta leaves LrOffsets untouched. If a future change swaps this call to WithAdjustedStackPointer(imm) for consistency with stwu/stfsu/stfdu, the shared block would then re-add imm a second time to the already-adjusted value, silently doubling the offset for addi r1,r1,imm chains.

Add a short comment here explaining that this branch intentionally uses WithSpDelta (not WithAdjustedStackPointer) because the LR-offset update happens generically below, and that combining both would double-count imm for r1.

… targets

Fix crash from Kamek skip-return hooks (Item Rain crash) (patchzyy#182) added every
Kamek BranchLink patch target to lrContinuationCallTargets unconditionally,
with no filter analogous to the RetroWfcHookSetsLinkRegister check already
used for RetroWFC hooks. Since bl is the ordinary PowerPC call instruction,
this made the codegen treat effectively every patched call in the mod as a
potential skip-return hook, forcing conservative handling (full register
reload, disabled resident-call fast paths, local LR-continuation dispatch
tables) onto thousands of calls that just return normally.

For Retro Rewind this inflated total translated mod size by +42%
(1,414,327 -> 2,005,284 lines), concentrated in ~10 unrelated overlay
functions that happened to call a patched target, and was enough to make
one aggregate build shard pathologically slow to compile (hangs Linux CI).

Instead, only mark a bl target as LR-continuation-aware if a lightweight
discovery-only decode of its own body actually finds evidence of
skip-return behavior via DiscoverLrRelativeIndirectJumpOffsets. Falls back
to the conservative (old) behavior if a target can't be statically
analyzed, so no skip-return case is silently missed.

Verified against the real Retro Rewind mod: total mod size returns to
1,416,350 lines (+0.14% vs. pre-fix, down from +42%), all 6 genuinely new
continuation functions from the original fix are preserved, zero
functions lost, and all 609 existing translator tests still pass.

* Scope Kamek bl-patch LR-continuation detection to genuine skip-return targets

Fix crash from Kamek skip-return hooks (Item Rain crash) (#182) added every
Kamek BranchLink patch target to lrContinuationCallTargets unconditionally,
with no filter analogous to the RetroWfcHookSetsLinkRegister check already
used for RetroWFC hooks. Since bl is the ordinary PowerPC call instruction,

* Distinguish exhausted from truncated LR-relative offset search

CodeRabbit flagged that TargetExhibitsLrSkipReturn (added in ad2d4e7) treated
an empty DiscoverLrRelativeIndirectJumpOffsets result as a verified "this
target never skip-returns," but the analysis silently drops any path state
once more than MaxStatesPerInstruction (16) distinct states reach one
instruction - a bctr/return on a dropped state can never contribute its
offset, so an empty result could be an incomplete search rather than a real
negative. Treating every capped case as "skip-return possible" outright was
rejected as too broad a fallback given how conservative/expensive that path
already is.

Instead: raise MaxStatesPerInstruction 16 -> 512 (an arbitrary conservative
bound to begin with, not something correctness depended on) so genuinely
branchy functions have far more headroom to reach an exhaustive answer, and
give DiscoverLrRelativeIndirectJumpOffsets an optional onStateCapExceeded
callback that fires exactly when a state is dropped. TargetExhibitsLrSkipReturn
now only falls back to the conservative "treat as skip-return" answer when
the search both found nothing and the cap was actually hit during that run -
not whenever the cap merely exists - so a target is trusted as clean once the
search genuinely exhausts it.

Verified: all 609 translator tests pass, and a full translate-mod run against
the real Retro Rewind mod produces byte-for-byte identical output to the
prior fix (same 4,065 functions, 1,416,350 total lines) - confirming the
16-state cap was never actually the limiting factor in practice and this
change is a pure safety-net closure, not a behavior change for this mod.

* Add LR continuation regression tests

* Refine LR continuation hook analysis

iChris4 added a commit to iChris4/Wiicompiled_VR that referenced this pull request Sep 18, 2026
Brings in the keyboard/mouse rebinding overhaul (patchzyy#162), the Kamek
skip-return hook fixes (patchzyy#182, patchzyy#218), the exit button and controller LED
fix (patchzyy#221), the autohide-cursor and mute hotkey fix (patchzyy#211), the Linux
--sysroot plumbing (patchzyy#224) and the switch to the theofficialgman
dawn-build fork (patchzyy#215).

Conflicts resolved to keep the VR integration intact:

- settings_overlay.cpp/.h: kept both new declarations. The controller
  rebinding UI takes upstream's click-to-rebind widgets wholesale - our
  only edit there was wrapping the combo width in Scaled(), and
  upstream's bindingWidth is already font-relative, so the headset
  panel still scales. Kept our DrawResolutionMenu() extraction (the VR
  panel reuses it) while adopting upstream's DrawExitPrompt() and its
  new DrawTopBar() prologue; kept our Diagnostics menu alongside
  upstream's exit-button width math. HandleEvents merges both keyboard
  paths, with the VR recenter hotkey now guarded by !g_rebind.active so
  it cannot fire while a binding is being captured.

- AuroraDawnProvider.cmake: dropped our now-dead Android hash block.
  Upstream restructured the pins into an if/elseif chain that already
  covers android/aarch64, with the digest for the new dawn-build fork;
  our leftover block was unreachable and carried the old encounter
  digest.

- Version plumbing (Build-Installer.ps1, Setup.Windows Program.cs and
  csproj): kept this fork's own line, which is 0.2.39 and centralised in
  Launcher/Directory.Build.props, rather than regressing to upstream's
  hardcoded 0.2.32.

Verified: translator 654/654; runtime ctest 14/14 including every VR
test; WiiCompiled and RetroRewind link; aurora gx_fifo_tests 262/263,
the one failure being the TevRegisterLiveness case already documented as
pre-existing on this branch.
