This increases code size by 1 instruction (2 bytes) because LLVM isn't
yet smart enough to recognize that it doesn't need to clear a register
to use 0: it can just use r1 which is always 0 according to the
convention. It makes initialization a lot easier to read, however.
time.Sleep now compiles on all systems, so lets use that.
Additionally, do a few improvements in time unit handling for the
scheduler. This should lead to somewhat longer sleep durations without
wrapping (on some platforms).
Some examples got smaller, some got bigger. In particular, code using
the scheduler got bigger and the blinky1 example got smaller (especially
on Arduino: 380 -> 314 bytes).
This has the benefit of not requiring a 'runtime' IR file, so that
complete relocatable files can be built without requiring input IR.
This makes the compiler a lot easier to use without the Makefile.
Code size is not affected.
TODO: do better at it by tracking min/max values of integers. The
following straightforward code doesn't have its bounds checks removed:
for _, n := range slice {
println(n)
}
Missing features:
* keys other than strings
* more than 8 values in the hashmap
* growing a map when needed
* initial size hint
* delete(m, key)
* iterators (for range)
* initializing global maps
* ...more?
