lovm2

Is a lightweight virtual machine with a focus on simplicity and extendability.

Features

• [X] dynamic typing
• [X] generate bytecode using highlevel intermediate representation
• [X] call into shared objects: lovm2_extend
• [X] python bindings: pylovm2
• [X] define own callbacks for interrupts

Generating Bytecode

``` rust use lovm2::prelude::*; use lovm2::vm::Vm;

fn main() { let mut main_hir = HIR::new();

// set the local variable n to 10
main_hir.push(Assign::local(var!(n), 10));

// `print` is a builtin function. the `var!` macro
// ensures that the given identifier is not confused
// with a string.
main_hir.push(Call::new("print").arg(var!(n)).arg("Hello World"));
// ... this is equivalent to the developer-friendly version:
main_hir.push(call!(print, n, "Hello World"));

let mut module = ModuleBuilder::new();

// a module needs a code object called `main`
// if you want to make it runnable
module.add("main").hir(main_hir);

// consumes the `ModuleBuilder` and transforms
// it into a `Module`
let module = module.build().unwrap();
println!("{:#?}", module);

// load the module and run it
let mut vm = Vm::new();
vm.load_and_import_all(module).expect("load error");
vm.run().expect("run error");

} ```
