* benchmark/lib.scm: New file.
* benchmark/measure.scm: New file.
* README: Added useful pointers to various threads.
* doc/guile-vm.texi: Fixed the description of `load-program' (it now expects
_immediate_ integers).
* src/*.[ch]: Use immediate integers whereever possible, as in the original
code. For `CONS', use `scm_cell' rather than `scm_cons'.
git-archimport-id: lcourtes@laas.fr--2004-libre/guile-vm--revival--0.6--patch-6
* src/*.[ch]: Replaced the remaining `SCM_MAKINUM', and changed `SCM_VELTS'
into `scm_vector_elements ()'.
* src/vm_loader.c (link): Fixed so that it pushed a variable object on
the stack.
* src/vm_system.c (variable-ref): Fixed so that it uses `scm_variable_ref ()'
and friends.
* module/system/vm/assemble.scm (dump-object!): Fixed the string case.
* src/vm_engine.h (CONS): Use `scm_cons' instead of `SCM_NEWCELL'.
* doc/guile-vm.texi: Added actual instruction definitions, explanations of
the program invocation mechanism, programs' object tables, etc., in the
`Instruction Set' chapter.
git-archimport-id: lcourtes@laas.fr--2004-libre/guile-vm--revival--0.6--patch-5
* doc/guile-vm.texi: Texified and cleaned up.
* src/vm.c: Use `scm_from_locale_string ()' instead of `scm_makfrom0str ()'.
* src/vm_engine.c: Likewise.
* src/programs.c (scm_program_bytecode): Return a u8vector instead of a string.
* module/system/vm/conv.scm (make-byte-decoder): Fixed a few things wrt. to
the string to u8vector transition.
* src/objcodes.c (bytecode->objcode): Fixed a bug where the last 10 bytes of
the bytecode where ignored.
* module/system/vm/assemble.scm (dump-object!): Don't convert everything
to a u8vector, keep strings where it makes sense.
* module/system/vm/conv.scm (code->bytes): Accordingly, convert strings to
u8vectors when needed.
(make-byte-decoder): Accordingly too, when decoding instructions, return
variable-length instructions' argument as strings except for `load-program'.
* module/system/vm/disasm.scm: Export `disassemble-bytecode'.
git-archimport-id: lcourtes@laas.fr--2004-libre/guile-vm--revival--0.6--patch-4
* src/*.c: Removed calls to `scm_must_malloc', `SCM_MUST_MALLOC' and
`scm_must_free'. Same for `SCM_INUMP', `SCM_INUM', `SCM_STRING_CHARS',
and the likes.
* module/system/base/syntax.scm: Do not import `(ice-9 match)' and do
not re-export `match', do not export `syntax-error' which was not
defined here.
* module/system/base/compile.scm (call-with-compile-error-catch): Use
the `catch' form instead of `try'.
* src/instructions.c: Use `scm_from_char ()' instead of the deprecated
macro `SCM_MAKINUM ()'.
* src/instructions.h (scm_instruction): Made `npop' a signed char.
