Estimated hours taken: 2 More cleanup of the bytecode stuff; in particular, add a `MB_' prefix to most names. bytecode/*: - Prefix all names defined in header files with `MB_' (except for `TRUE', `FALSE', `DEBUGGING', and `XXXdebug'). - Add macros `MB_new', `MB_new_array', and `MB_resize_array', and use those instead of using `MB_malloc' and `MB_resize' (formerly `mem_malloc' and `mem_resize') or malloc() and realloc() directly. Uncomment the definition of MB_strdup() now that it calls MB_malloc(). - Delete the definitions of `uchar', `uint', `ushort', `ulong' (just spell them out, its clearer and more portable that way). - Fix the indentation in a few places I missed on my previous pass. - Add a `README' file.
This directory holds the source code for the Mercury bytecode utilities. `mdis' is the Mercury bytecode disassembler. `mbi' is the Mercury bytecode interpreter. (XXX should it be a stand-alone program, or should it just be a library?) All exported symbols defined in modules in this directory should be prefixed with `MB_', for "Mercury Bytecode", to avoid clashes with names defined in other packages.
