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.
Errors are now handled very differently, parser errors and VM errors are now treated the same.
When cosmoV_error is called, cosmoV_throw is also called, which formats the error object and sets the panic state.
state->error now points to the latest CObjError when state->panic is true. To get a nice formatted Objection message, use
cosmoV_printError() and pass the state->error. pcall() was added to the standard base library. When called, the first argument
passed is called with the subsequent arguments given. If the call completed successfully, `true`,`nil` is returned. However
when an error occurs during the call, `false`,`<error>` is returned. Simply print the `<error>` to retrieve the error string.
- 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.
cosmoO_getObject and cosmoO_setObject were renamed to cosmoV_getRawObject and cosmoV_setRawObject respectively
`__init` is now required to be defined for a proto object to be instantiated.
other minor refactoring work done in src/cvm.c
cosmoV_error now pushes the error string onto the stack, as well as uses cosmoO_VFString to format strings.
cosmoV_concat is now entirely self contained, and is now stack based. Push the CValues you want to concat into strings onto the stack and call cosmoV_concat with the # of values you pushed.
ISTRING_RESERVED was added to iStrings
call & callCFunction now use memmove instead of memcpy
Additionally, added cosmoO_setUserP, cosmoO_getUserP, cosmoO_setUserI and cosmoO_getUserI to the C API.
__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.
