The previous recursive `wrenMarkObj` approach could overflow the C stack when marking deeply nested object graphs. This commit introduces an iterative two-phase collector: objects are first "grayed" onto an explicit stack in the WrenVM struct, then `wrenDarkenObjs` iteratively processes the gray stack until all reachable objects are marked as "dark". The `marked` field is renamed to `isDark` to reflect the new semantics. A `gray` array with `grayDepth` and `maxGray` tracking is added to `WrenVM`, initialized in `initializeGC` and freed in `wrenFreeVM`. All internal mark calls (`markClass`, `markClosure`, `markFiber`, `wrenCollectGarbage`) are updated to use `wrenGrayObj` instead of `wrenMarkObj`. Two new test files (`deeply_nested_gc.wren` and `many_reallocations.wren`) verify that deeply nested object graphs and repeated GC cycles complete without stack overflow.
This contains the automated validation suite for the VM and built-in libraries.
-
benchmark/- Performance tests. These aren't strictly pass/fail, but let us compare performance both against other languages and against previous builds of Wren itself. -
core/- Tests for the built in core library, mainly methods on the core classes. If a bug is inwren_core.corwren_value.c, it will most likely break one of these tests. -
language/- Tests of the language itself, its grammar and runtime semantics. If a bug is inwren_compiler.corwren_vm.c, it will most likely break one of these tests. This includes tests for the syntax for the literal forms of the core classes. -
limit/- Tests for various hardcoded limits. The language doesn't officially specify these limits, but the Wren implementation has them. These tests ensure that limit behavior is well-defined and tested.
