Engine
[Virtual Machine]

---

Detailed Description

The engine implements the actual VM execution by providing the necessary methods listed in _vm_engine_t.

tinyaml defines two engines :

• stub_engine, the default, runs synchronously (that means that every call to vm_run_program_fg and vm_run_program_bg is blocking).
• thread_engine runs in a separate thread.

tinyaml_dbg defines another engine :

• Synchronous debug engine, which also runs synchronously and lets the user step (and someday define break points and break conditions) through the code.

Typedefs
typedef void(*	_VM_CALL )(vm_engine_t)
	Standard engine call.
Functions
vm_t	vm_set_engine (vm_t, vm_engine_t)
	set the VM's engine.
void _VM_CALL	vm_schedule_cycle (vm_t)
	run one cycle.
Variables
const vm_engine_t	stub_engine
const vm_engine_t	thread_engine
