Description

When pushing context inside a #c_call callback function, it might cause a corrupt execution of the callback.
This issue appears when compiling with the X64 backend. The LLVM backend seems not affected.

Tested with following configurations:

System1

Jai: 0.2.029, 0.2.030
Clang: 22.1.6
OS: Linux, Arch, Kernel 7.0.10

System2

Jai: 0.2.027
Clang: 20.1.8
OS: Linux, Arch, Kernel 6.16.5

Code

This is the callback which lives in main.jai:

visit_entries :: (root: *u8, entry: *void, user_data: *void) -> s32 #c_call {
    push_context { log("Yoooo"); }
    return 0;
}

In it's current shape, it executes correctly. Printing "Yoooo" three times.

Adding a new variable into the mix:

visit_entries :: (root: *u8, entry: *void, user_data: *void) -> s32 #c_call {
    coconut_png := 420691337;

    push_context { log("Yoooo"); }
    return 0;
}

Now it prints "Yoooo" several times and terminates with a segfault. You could also replace the integer with an boolean.

Repro

Run it with:

jai build.jai - run

This generates bindings to a test C lib I included, builds the project with the X64 backend and executes the program.

If you want to test it with the LLVM backend, append "release" to the args:

jai build.jai - run release

Further Context

Initially the issue appeared when working with libgit2.
The git_tree_walk function takes a callback and at some point it only returned one node, instead of 18.
The callback function was way bigger and certain combinations of variables and function calls caused some broken behavior.
