vm.rs

//! Lua virtual machine — port of `src/lvm.c` (1899 lines, 32 functions).
//!
//! This module implements:
//! - Number coercion helpers (tonumber_, flttointeger, tointegerns, tointeger)
//! - Numeric `for`-loop preparation and stepping (forlimit, forprep, floatforloop)
//! - Table get/set with metamethod chaining (finishget, finishset)
//! - String comparison respecting embedded NULs (l_strcmp)
//! - Relational operators: lessthan, lessequal, equalobj (with metamethods)
//! - String concatenation (concat)
//! - Object length operator (objlen)
//! - Integer arithmetic: idiv, mod, modf, shiftl
//! - Closure creation (pushclosure)
//! - Yield-resume bridge (finishOp)
//! - Main interpreter loop (execute) — the Lua bytecode dispatch engine.
//!
//! # Control flow note
//! The C source uses `goto startfunc` / `goto returning` / `goto ret` across
//! labelled points in `luaV_execute`. These are modelled with Rust's labelled
//! loops (`'startfunc`, `'returning`, `'dispatch`) and `continue`/`break`
//! on those labels.  See inline `PORT NOTE` comments.

/// `lua-code` uses `BXorK`/`BXor`; `lua-vm` also has `LoadKx`/`GetUpval`
/// aliases) and the `InstructionExt` decode trait that lives here. That is a
