TODO

• Decide between lineair types / uniqueness vs garbage collector

  • https://borretti.me/article/how-australs-linear-type-checker-works

• Rename constant to literal

• Implement a trace() builtin for debugging

• Check if we can use DataView in the Javascript examples, e.g. with setUint32

• Storing u8 in memory still claims 32 bits (since that's what you need in local variables). However, using load8_u / loadu_s we can optimize this.

• Implement a FizzBuzz example

• Also, check the codes for FIXME and TODO

• Allocation is done using pointers for members, is this desired?

• Merge in type classes

• test_bitwise_or_inv_type

• test_bytes_index_out_of_bounds vs static trap(?)

• test_num.py is probably best as part of the generator?

• Find pytest.mark.skip

• There's a weird resolve_as reference in calculate_alloc_size

  • Either there should be more of them or less
  • At first glance, looks like failure in the typing system
  • Related to the FIXME in phasm_type3?

• WEBASSEMBLY_BUILTIN_FLOAT_OPS and WEBASSEMBLY_BUILTIN_BYTES_OPS are special cased

  • Should be part of a prelude

• Casting is not implemented except u32 which is special cased

• Parser is putting stuff in ModuleDataBlock

  • Compiler should probably do that
