New Features and Enhancement

Changes

0.9668 2022-12-20
  [New Features]
    * Added the items native API.

      int32_t (*items)(SPVM_ENV* env, SPVM_VALUE* stack);
    * Added the items operator.
    * Added the call_instance_method_static_by_name native API.

      int32_t (*call_instance_method_static_by_name)(SPVM_ENV* env, SPVM_VALUE* stack,
        const char* class_name, const char* method_name, int32_t args_stack_length,
        const char* file, int32_t line);

  [Incompatible Bug Fix]
    * Fixed the bug that env->get_args_stack_length returns the legnth of arguments, not the stack length of the arguments.
  [Compatible Internal Changes]
    * The CALL_METHOD opcode is separated into CALL_CLASS_METHOD, CALL_INSTANCE_METHOD_STATIC, and CALL_INSTANCE_METHOD_DYNAMIC.
  [Incompatible Changes]
    * Changed the name of the call_spvm_method native API to call_method.
    * Removed the following native APIs. Use call_method instead.

      -  int32_t (*call_class_method)(SPVM_ENV* env, SPVM_VALUE* stack, int32_t method_id, int32_t args_stack_length);
      -  int32_t (*call_instance_method)(SPVM_ENV* env, SPVM_VALUE* stack, int32_t method_id, int32_t args_stack_length);
    * Changed the definition of the call_instance_method_by_name native API.
