- cosmoV_registerProtoObject now walks the object list and updates the proto's for objects of the objType which have a NULL proto.
- misc. comment changes in cvm.h as well.
You can use ':' without invoking. So you can grab a method binding to an object and later call it. Also some GC bugs were fixed.
A new preprocessor macro (VM_DEBUG) has been added. Defining this macro will print each instruction thats being executed in the VM, as
well as print each call.
a new instruction, OP_NEWARRAY has been added. this instruction will create a table out of the uint16_t values on the stack, with incremental keys [0-(u16-1)]
Tables are going to become a more generic form of data storage. While objects will be "stateful", tables will remain static.
'{}' now refers to an object declaration, '[]' will be reserved for tables.
- added OP_MOD, which performs a modulo operation on the 2 <number> values on the stack. Pops the 2 values and pushes the result.
- also added TOKEN_PERCENT to the lexer, and extended binary() in cparse.c to support it.
__iter and __next are now reserved IStrings, OP_NEXT and OP_ITER have also been added. A new token (TOKEN_IN) has been added to the lexer. The parser now supports the for each loop (for i, ... in <object> do ... end).
savedPushed has been removed from the CCompilerState struct.
Objects are now separate from {} dictionaries
the . operator now only indexes fields on objects, the [] operator can only be used on objects if the __index or __newindex functions are defined
Additionally 4 new instructions have been added to the VM: OP_NEWDICT, OP_INDEX, OP_INCINDEX, and OP_NEWINDEX.
The syntax to create a dictionary is as follows { <key> : <value>, <otherkey> : <othervalue> } eg. { "hello" : "world", "foo" : 1337 }
The Lexer & Parser was extended to add the TOKEN_COLON ':' token.
