Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2021-07-11treewide: consolidate typedef namingJo-Philipp Wich
Ensure that all custom typedef and vector declaration type names end with a "_t" suffix. Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2021-05-18syntax: implement `delete` as proper operatorJo-Philipp Wich
Turn `delete` into a proper operator mimicking ECMAScript semantics. Also ensure to transparently turn deprecated `delete(obj, propname)` function calls into `delete obj.propname` expressions during compilation. When strict mode is active, legacy delete() calls throw a syntax error instead. Finally drop the `delete()` function from the stdlib as it is shadowed by the delete operator syntax now.

2021-04-27treewide: ISO C / pedantic complianceJo-Philipp Wich
- Shuffle typedefs to avoid need for non-compliant forward declarations - Fix non-compliant empty struct initializers - Remove use of braced expressions - Remove use of anonymous unions - Avoid `void *` pointer arithmetic - Fix several warnings reported by gcc -pedantic mode and clang 11 compilation Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
2021-04-25treewide: rework internal data type systemJo-Philipp Wich
Instead of relying on json_object values internally, use custom types to represent the different ucode value types which brings a number of advantages compared to the previous approach: - Due to the use of tagged pointers, small integer, string and bool values can be stored directly in the pointer addresses, vastly reducing required heap memory - Ability to create circular data structures such as `let o; o = { test: o };` - Ability to register custom `tostring()` function through prototypes - Initial mark/sweep GC implementation to tear down circular object graphs on VM deinit The change also paves the way for possible future extensions such as constant variables and meta methods for custom ressource types.

2021-02-17treewide: rewrite ucode interpreterJo-Philipp Wich
Replace the former AST walking interpreter implementation with a single pass bytecode compiler and a corresponding virtual machine. The rewrite lays the groundwork for a couple of improvements with will be subsequently implemented: - Ability to precompile ucode sources into binary byte code - Strippable debug information - Reduced runtime memory usage Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
