Implement garbage collector

Need a global object table for literals Implement gc_mark for VM_State

Implement Lambda

Implement File_Stream

Just wrap std::fstream?

Implement VM_State

return stack args and local variables stack

Implement bytecode emitter

need Set_Global N and Get_Global N

need Set_Local N and Get_Local N positive N will be local variables and negative N will be arguments

need Set_Ref P, and Get_Ref P this is to implement lambda captures

? can emit_set/get_value(symbol) determine locality? (global, local, arg, capture ref)

Implement bytecode disassembler

Implement reader

CONS LIST CHARACTER STRING QUOTE QUASIQUOTE UNQUOTE UNQUOTE-SPLICING

Implement compiler

compile_function compile LAMBDA compile DEFMACRO compile HANDLER-CASE

Implement virtual machine

Implement macro expander

call_lisp_function(function, argc, argv)

Raise signals in VM

Re-implement primitives from old project

+evaluate

Need a way to define global variables

Keywords need to resolve to self

Implement GOTOCALL

1. Construct &REST if exists
   • Do this first so GC will not collect args.
2. Save args position as m_stack_top - nargs
3. Set m_stack_top to m_locals
4. Push from args to m_stack_top
5. Push &REST if exists
6. Jump to function

Convert to emitting list of instructions, then when locking flatten to bytecode vector?

There could also be passes before that eliminate/transform no-ops such as:

set_local 4 pop get_local 4 pop_jump_if_nil f get_local 4

which could be reduced to a new instruction “pop_if_nil_and_jump f”

This would allow us to swap instructions with different widths, gotcha here is resolving branch offsets.

re-open values or something so handler-case handlers can write to their closed values

move tests to their own package
