Jesse D. McDonald 061364c75c Remove structure/field names from builtin structure type.
Moves naming policy (strings/symbols) from the VM to the input image.
To restore introspection, derive annotated base types from anonymous builtins.

Jesse D. McDonald e375edfc83 Improve on struct_is_a() and expose it as a VM primitive operation. 2012-07-14 13:45:36 -05:00
Jesse D. McDonald bc3df6dd17 Swap continuation & context in the lambda and template structures.
This is to separate the three 'call' parameters (target, argv, ctx) from
the 'return to' parameter (k). The old order made it look as if the dynamic
context was in some way related to the continuation, which is not the case.

Jesse D. McDonald 32952e9aa4 Add (empty) write barriers in preparation for more advanced GC. 2012-07-14 13:43:03 -05:00
Jesse D. McDonald b74f0cddda Adjust number-reader to allow 'negative zero' FP values.
Also add builtins for NaN and +/- infinity, and bytecodes for classification.

Jesse D. McDonald c01f0838f1 Misc. reader improvements, plus ability to run *.rla directly.
Fix tree_replace() to handle recursive data structures.
Fix some other minor bugs in the reader and interpreter.
Implement comment-escapes in the string parser, for more readable input.
Allow input program files (*.rla) to be invoked directly, with arguments.
Add a simple string->number converter as a builtin function.

Jesse D. McDonald 449b0cf478 Implement fixed-function reader for getting data into the interpreter. 2012-07-14 13:38:44 -05:00
Jesse D. McDonald 0a2f13b523 Added built-in structure types and interpreter core (w/o bytecode).
Improved timing resolution by using clock_gettime() instead of clock().
Also gave project a name: Rosella. Play on 'Parrot' (Perl 6 VM).
