why:
the v2 prefix of the file name was used as a visual aid when
comparing vm2 against vm sources
details:
all renamed v2*.nim sources compile locally with the -d:kludge:1 flag
set or without (some work with either)
only sources not renamed yet: v2state_transactions.nim
why:
using function stubs made it possible to check the syntax of an op
handler source file by compiling this very file. this was previously
impossible due cyclic import/include mechanism.
details:
only oph_call.nim, oph_create.nim and subsequently op_handlers.nim
still need the -d:kludge:1 flag for syntax check compiling. this flag
also works with interpreter_dispatch.nim which imports op_handlers.nim.
why:
step towards breaking circular dependency
details:
some functions from v2computation.nim have been extracted into
compu_helper.nim which does not explicitly back-import
v2computation.nim. all non recursive op handlers now import this source
file rather than v2computation.nim.
recursive call/create op handler still need to import v2computation.nim.
the executeOpcodes() function from interpreter_dispatch.nim has been
moved to v2computation.nim which allows for <import> rather than
<include> the interpreter_dispatch.nim source.
why:
this allows for passing back information which can eventually be
used for reducing use of exceptions
caveat:
call/create currently needs to un-capture the call-by-reference
(wrapper) argument using the Computation reference inside
why:
the previous approach was replacing the function-lets in
opcode_impl.nim by the particulate table handlers. the test
functions will verify the the handler functions are sort of
correct but not the assignments in the fork tables.
the handler names of old and new for tables are checked here.
caveat:
verifying tables currently takes a while at compile time.
