Finalise the bytecode interpreter
-
Change the format to instructions without data - as in, we only use the instruction as a discriminant for the number of bytes that follow that instruction for reading. This is needed for instructions that potentially deal with large integer values, e.g.
i64
,u128
, and so that they don't take up more space than is required of them. -
Implement syscalls in a generic way, the VM should be able to use a
syscall
instruction that can take operands, and then write the result of the operand into the specified location. -
Implement an interface that supports reference-counted memory management within the VM, i.e. things that are declared to be reference counted use a wrapper within the VM to perform the reference counts.
