Bob Nystrom 981ea50407 feat: replace core library import calls with dedicated bytecode instructions
Replace the previous approach of desugaring import statements into calls to System.importModule() and System.getModuleVariable() with two new bytecode instructions: CODE_IMPORT_MODULE and CODE_IMPORT_VARIABLE. This eliminates the need for the corresponding primitive methods in the core library, adds proper debug dump support for the new opcodes, and updates the compiler to emit these instructions directly. The getNumArguments function is also updated to handle the new opcodes and the unreachable default case is removed.

This contains the Wren source code. It is organized like so:

  • optional: the Wren and C source code for the optional modules. These are built in to the VM and can be used even when you embed the VM in your own application. But they are also optional and can be compiled out by setting defines.

  • cli: the source code for the command line interface. This is a custom executable that embeds the VM in itself. Code here handles reading command-line, running the REPL, loading modules from disc, etc.

  • include: the public header directory for the VM. If you are embedding the VM in your own application, you will add this to your include path.

  • module: the source code for the built-in modules that come with the CLI. These modules are written in a mixture of C and Wren and generally use libuv to implement their underlying functionality.

  • vm: the source code for the Wren VM itself. Unlike code in cli and module, this has no dependencies on libuv. If you are embedding the VM in your own application from source, you will compile the files here into your app.
