ArkScript v3.1.3

[SuperFola]

Added

• adding an ExecutionContext to host the pointers (instruction, page, stack) and execution related structures (stack, locals, scopes), to ease the transition to a parallelized VM
  • the VM can have multiple independant context running on the same bytecode
• the VM now takes a reference to an Ark::State instead of a raw non-owning pointer
• adding ARK_PROFILER_MIPS to toggle instruction per second calculation
• adding new way to typecheck in builtins
• new CI build step now running valgrind to check for memory leaks
• new type checker (to be used by builtins)
• better type errors generation (with the list of arguments, if they are matching or not, and more)

Changed

• splitting Utils.hpp into multiple files for easier maintenance and contextualisation
• reserving a default scope size of 3, which yields really good performance results compared to nothing being reserved
• upgrading the builtins error handling to use the BetterTypeError
• the VM now displays the debug info (ip, pp, sp) at the end of the backtrace instead of the beginning

Removed

• BetterTypeError has been removed in favor of a type checker using templates and an error generator

Deprecated

• deprecating VM(State*) in favor of VM(State&)
