  abc_interpreter.cpp: interpreter
  abc_opcodes.cpp: Abc asm op impl
  abc.cpp: system class && function, such as, String, Array, RegExp...
  class.h/asobjects.h: definition of AS Object in vm

  asobjects.cpp: 所有AS runtime对象的定义，和Traits的初始化，如
    REGISTER_CLASS_NAME(RegExp);
    REGISTER_CLASS_NAME(Math);
    REGISTER_CLASS_NAME(ASString);

    void Array::buildTraits(ASObject* o)
    {
     o->setGetterByQName("length","",new Function(_getLength));
     o->ASObject::setVariableByQName("pop","",new Function(_pop));
     o->ASObject::setVariableByQName("shift",AS3,new Function(shift));
     o->ASObject::setVariableByQName("unshift","",new Function(unshift));

* ABC file format
  How ABC stores code ?

* important sequence
  main.cpp/tightspark.cpp: 两个入口，暂理解为豪华版/简约版，从
tightspark.cpp下手轻松一些
 
  abc.cpp:ABCVm构造：startup ABSVm Run Thread
  abc.cpp:ABCContext构造：Read abc Head Tag, read&parse const pool
  abc.cpp:ABCVm->addEvent: add Event, drive ABCVm to run，几个线程间的同
步是通过几个信号量

  初始化->运行：
    new SystemState
    创建ABCVm
      通过pthread，启动线程，该线程执行ABCVm::Run，并阻塞到信号量th->sem_event_count
    new ABCContext
      parse abc head
    vm.addEvent(NULL, new ABCContextInitEvent)
    vm.addEvent(NULL, new ShudownEvent)
      events_queue中加入事件，释放sem_event_count，唤醒ABCVm::Run线程，
该线程awake后，通过ABCVm::handleEvent处理事件(BIND_CLASS, SHUTDOWN, CONTEXT_INIT,
CONSTRUCT_OBJECT, CHANGE_FRAME);  因为第一个事件为CONTEXT_INIT，所以首先
执行到了ABCContext::exec -> asobjects.cpp,SyntheticFunction::call ->
abc_interpreter.cpp,ABCVm::executeFunction解释执行字节码

  asobjects.cpp,SyntheticFunction::call
    注意byte code执行环境的初始化，鸡生蛋，蛋生鸡在里这得到解释   

  abc_interpreter.cpp,ABCVm::executeFunction
    反编译几个abc文件对照着读，效果比较好 

* Object in lightspark
  swftypes.h:
    SWFOBJECT_TYPE: the object type supported by AS
   
  T_OBJECT, T_INTEGER..., T_PROXY：单根继承自ASObject，以ASObject为实例返
回给AS vm，在需要转换时通过ASObject->getObjectType首先得到类型，再做强制转换

  abc.cpp:iManager/dManager：缓存(Integer/Double)常用对象，是一个亮点

* LLVM how
