why:
it was convenient to have relocatable source modules when writing the
vm interface wrappers. this patch moves it back to the standard.
also:
there are no deep links into the vm folder anymore which leaves some
room for manoeuvring inside
why:
the nvm_ prefix was used inside the vm folder to hide them temporarily
from the outside world while writing export wrappers. now all
functionality is accessed via vm_*, rather than vm/* imports.
todo:
at a later stage the import headers of the vm modules need to get fixed
to meet style guide standards (as jacek kindly pointed out.)
why:
relative paths make sources inherently non-relocatable
details:
import base is set to the nimbus directoy, so importing ./stack
from file interpreter.nim becomes vm/stack etc.
caveat:
a file named nimbus/strformat.nim would clash with strformat (but
not with std/strformat)
- port some "echo" logging to "chronicles"
- change the logging level of messages that should not appear by default
to TRACE instead of DEBUG
- remove the "nimbusTrace" define
- suppress logging for messages below the ERROR level in "nimble test"
This blindly changes logging to nim-chronicles - issues that ensue:
* keeps gas cost computation logs hidden behind flag
* unclear if logScope is practical - for example, since vm is split over
many files, topics get lost when using simple top-level per-module
topics
* when passing named object around, scope should incliude the name of
the object but this is caught neither by logScope nor by dynamicLogScope
* Move and cleanup interpreter files - prepare for redesign of VM
* fix call comment aobut recursive dependencies
* memory: use a template again and avoid (?) a cstring-> string conversion
* Fix stack test regression
* Fix recursive dependency on logging_ops, test_vm_json compiles but regression :/
* Fix signextend regression
* Fix 3 signed test and sha3 test
