Bugfix: has-metadata? was corrupting registers
Seems uneconomic to write tests for stuff like this. Assembly is just not
the right layer to try to come up with a general solution or process. Keep
running your code and wait to find signs of breakage.
In the process of building next-token I finally added some support for a
debugging situation I've found myself in a couple of times: wondering "what
changed this memory location"?
Fix CI.
a) Update canonical binaries.
b) Fix an out-of-bounds access in `clear-stream`. This also required supporting
a new instruction in `subx run` to load an imm8 into rm8.
The lines within '{}' can now be turned into a macro like `E_X = deref(E_X)`,
parameterizing the register being modified.
Assumes the input is in a register but also saved elsewhere, so it's safe
to clobber and replace with the result.
Compare commit 4894. Used to take 9 instructions, 8 of them making loads/stores.
Now it's 6 instructions, 4 of them loads/stores (the one non-local load
is unchanged, of course). Key is to not consume more registers so we don't
have to push/pop them.
Finally really fix the CI failure of commit 4894.
This is a remainder to forget my knowledge of stack addresses in the SubX
VM when writing SubX programs. Otherwise my programs will work in the VM
but not natively. The only assumptions a SubX program should make about
its segment addresses are what's encoded in the ELF binary. Thanks to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_space_layout_randomization, it can't
know anything else.
