runtime and debugging support for callee-parsed procedure args
* libguile/objcodes.h: Bump for metadata format change.
* libguile/frames.h: Rework so we don't frob the program's nargs, nlocs,
etc at runtime. Instead we don't really know what's a local var, an
argument, or an intermediate value. It's a little unfortunate, but
this will allow for case-lambda, and eventually for good polymorphic
generic dispatch; and the nlocs etc can be heuristically
reconstructed. Such a reconstruction would be better done at the
Scheme level, though.
(SCM_FRAME_STACK_ADDRESS): New macro, the pointer to the base of the
stack elements (not counting the program).
(SCM_FRAME_UPPER_ADDRESS): Repurpose to be the address of the last
element in the bookkeeping part of the stack -- i.e. to point to the
return address.
* libguile/vm-engine.h:
* libguile/vm-i-system.c: Adapt to removal of stack_base. Though we
still detect stack-smashing underflow, we don't do so as precisely as
we did before, because now we only detect overwriting of the frame
metadata.
* libguile/vm-engine.c (vm_engine): Remove the stack_base variable. It
is unnecessary, and difficult to keep track of in the face of
case-lambda. Also fix miscommented "ra" and "mvra" pushes. Push the
vp->ip as the first ra...
* libguile/vm-i-system.c (halt): ...because here we can restore the
vp->ip instead of setting ip to 0. Allows us to introspect ips all
down the stack, including in recursive VM invocations.
* libguile/frames.h:
* libguile/frames.c (scm_vm_frame_stack): Removed, because it's getting
more difficult to tell what's an argument and what's a temporary stack
element.
(scm_vm_frame_num_locals): New accessor.
(scm_vm_frame_instruction_pointer): New accessor.
(scm_vm_frame_arguments): Defer to an implementation in Scheme.
(scm_vm_frame_num_locals scm_vm_frame_local_ref)
(scm_vm_frame_local_set_x): Since we can get not-yet-active frames on
the stack now, with our current calling convention, we have to add a
heuristic here to jump over those frames -- because frames have
pointers in them, not Scheme values.
* libguile/programs.h:
* libguile/programs.c (scm_program_arity): Remove, in favor of..
(scm_program_arities): ...this, which a list of arities, in a new
format, occupying a slot in the metadata.
* module/language/assembly/decompile-bytecode.scm (decode-load-program):
Fix mv-call decompilation.
* module/system/vm/frame.scm (vm-frame-bindings, vm-frame-binding-ref)
(vm-frame-binding-set!): New functions, to access bindings by name in
a frame.
(vm-frame-arguments): Function now implemented in Scheme. Commented
fairly extensively.
* module/system/vm/program.scm (program-bindings-by-index)
(program-bindings-for-ip): New accessors, parsing the program bindings
metadata into something more useful.
(program-arities, program-arguments): In a case-lambda world, we have
to assume that programs can have multiple arities. But it's tough to
detect this algorithmically; instead we're going to require that the
program metadata include information about the arities, and the parts
of the program that that metadata applies to.
(program-lambda-list): New accessor.
(write-program): Show multiple arities.
* module/language/glil/compile-assembly.scm (glil->assembly): Add
"arities" to the state of the compiler, and add arities entries as
appropriate.
