Nodes implement CodeGen which generates instructions onto a stack held in Context.
The VM will interpret the instructions from Context.
There are some issues:
- Only basic instructions are added, but I'm working off https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/SpiderMonkey/Internals/Bytecode for now it should be easy to add more in.
- The Stack is a Vec, this isn't ideal (we may be able to live with it for now) but the stack should really be a fixed sized array. This isn't possible because Value can't be copied in there as it holds Rc and Gc values. Can we have fixed-sized Values that hold a pointer? Something like the "stackvec" crate should help
- put all VM related code behind "vm" feature flag
