Here's something for someone looking to do something interesting while the
code freeze is on.
Write yourself a program that takes a .pasm file and, rather than spitting
out bytecode, spits out the bodies of the opcode functions with the
appropriate replacements done on the parameters. The output should be
suitable for stuffing into the guts of test_main.c in the place of the call
to the runops loop.
Doing this by hand with -O3, you can see a speedup of around a factor of 45
over an unoptimised runops loop, so it's definitely worth doing in some
cases...
