* 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/vm_engine.c (VM_NAME): Don\'t validate VM and PROGRAM.
* src/vm.c (scm_vm_apply): New procedure.
(apply_program): New function.
(init_program_type): Set the apply function for the program type.
* src/vm.c (lookup_variable): Use scm_eval_closure_lookup.
