9.3.6.13 Inlined Bytevector Instructions

Bytevector operations correspond closely to what the current hardware can do, so it makes sense to inline them to VM instructions, providing a clear path for eventual native compilation. Without this, Scheme programs would need other primitives for accessing raw bytes – but these primitives are as good as any.

As in the previous section, the definitions below show stack parameters instead of instruction stream parameters.

The multibyte formats (u16, f64, etc) take an extra endianness argument. Only aligned native accesses are currently fast-pathed in Guile’s VM.
