bytecode-lang 0.2.0

//! Dense index types.
//!
//! Every cross-reference in a module is a plain integer index into a table,
//! never a pointer or a name lookup, so a decoded module is usable as is and a
//! VM resolves each reference with one bounds-checked load. Each kind of index
//! has its own newtype so a function index can never be passed where a
//! constant index is expected.
//!
//! The decoder checks only that indices are well-formed numbers; whether an
//! index is *in range* for its table is the verifier's job (see
//! `docs/API.md`), and every accessor that follows an index returns `Option`.

    /// Registers are numbered from zero. The first registers hold the
    /// function's parameters, in order; the rest are locals. Every register
    /// has a declared [`ValType`](crate::ValType). The 16-bit width allows
    /// 65,536 registers per function.
