aver-lang 0.17.2

VM and transpiler for Aver, a statically-typed language designed for AI-assisted development
Documentation
//! VM-backend allocation policy.
//!
//! Mirrors `WasmAllocPolicy` for the same set of pure builtins, but
//! the VM's NaN-boxed Value can in principle keep more constructors
//! inline (e.g. `Option.Some(Int)` lives in tag bits, no heap obj).
//!
//! For 0.14.2 we stay conservative — same whitelist as WASM. The
//! NaN-box-aware extensions are easy to add later as additional pure
//! cases (`builtin_allocates` returning `false` for more names).
