2019-02-04Primitive integersMaxime Dénès
This work makes it possible to take advantage of a compact representation for integers in the entire system, as opposed to only in some reduction machines. It is useful for heavily computational applications, where even constructing terms is not possible without such a representation. Concretely, it replaces part of the retroknowledge machinery with a primitive construction for integers in terms, and introduces a kind of FFI which maps constants to operators (on integers). Properties of these operators are expressed as explicit axioms, whereas they were hidden in the retroknowledge-based approach. This has been presented at the Coq workshop and some Coq Working Groups, and has been used by various groups for STM trace checking, computational analysis, etc. Contributions by Guillaume Bertholon and Pierre Roux <Pierre.Roux@onera.fr> Co-authored-by: Benjamin Grégoire <Benjamin.Gregoire@inria.fr> Co-authored-by: Vincent Laporte <Vincent.Laporte@fondation-inria.fr>

The upper layers still need a mapping constant -> projection, which is provided by Recordops.
2018-06-10[VM] Remove projection names from structured constants.Maxime Dénès
It was actually a hack since those names are never used to represent values, only to be passed as arguments to bytecode instructions. So instead of reusing the structured_constant type, we follow the same pattern as switch annotations.

We simply treat them as as an application of an atom to its instance, and in the decompilation phase we reconstruct the instance from the stack. This grants wish BZ#5659.
2018-03-02[VM] Unify Const_sorts and Const_type, and remove Vsort.Maxime Dénès
This simplifies the representation of values, and brings it closer to the ones of the native compiler.

2018-01-26Safer VM interfacesMaxime Dénès
We separate functions dealing with VM values (vmvalues.ml) and interfaces of the bytecode interpreter (vm.ml). Only the former relies on untyped constructions. This also makes the VM architecture closer to the one of native_compute, another patch could probably try to share more code between the two for conversion and reification (not trivial, though). This is also preliminary work for integers and arrays.
