- wrenEnsureSlots()
Lets you go the foreign slot stack to make room for a temporary work
area.
- wrenSetSlotNewList()
Creates a new empty list and stores it in a slot.
- wrenInsertInList()
Takes a value from one slot and inserts it into the list in another.
Still need more functions like getting elements from a list, removing,
etc. but this at least lets you create, populate, and return lists from
foreign methods.
This turns those functions into general-purpose functions for writing
raw C values into slots on the foreign call stack.
Writing a return just means writing a value to slot 0.
I've got some ideas on how to tweak the embedding API, but I want to
see what performance impact they have first, so this adds a little
benchmark that just calls a foreign method a ton of times.
- Rename "Expressions" -> "Method Calls".
- Organize "Types" and "Language" into a single linear narrative.
- Mobile-specific navigation to handle the longer guide.
- Rename "Fibers" -> "Concurrency".
- Get rid of duplicate stuff about signatures in "Classes".
- Add next/prev links to each page in the guide.
- Move "Contributing" and "Community" up to the top level.
- Move the precendence table to a separate "Grammar" page.
- Lots of other little stuff.
Wren now has three classes of modules:
- The one magic "core" module that's built in and always needed.
- Auxiliary libraries like "meta" and "random". These do not have any
dependencies, so can be used even when you embed Wren inside an
application. But they're also optional and can be disabled if you
don't need them.
- CLI modules. These ones need libuv and are tied to the CLI wrapper
around the VM.
- Add an explicit va_list version. That lets variadic functions
forward to it.
- Fix a GC bug in wrenCall() with return values.
- Make the call API test not re-enter the VM.
- Test that a foreign method can return strings.
- Test that a foreign method can return a string with null bytes.
- Test wrenCall().
- Allow passing NULL for "v" to wrenCall().
- Allow "a" for passing an explicit length byte array to wrenCall().
