This PR implements generic support for Cairo VM builtins. The calling
convention in the generated CASM code is changed to allow for passing
around the builtin pointers. Appropriate builtin initialization and
finalization code is added. Support for specific builtins (e.g. Poseidon
hash, range check, Elliptic Curve operation) still needs to be
implemented in separate PRs.
* Closes#2683
* Closes#2687
* Adds hint support in CASM. The supported hints are `Input(var)` and
`Alloc(size)`. These are the hints currently implemented in
[juvix-cairo-vm](https://github.com/anoma/juvix-cairo-vm).
* Adds the `--program_input` option to the `juvix dev casm run` command.
* Enables private inputs via `main` arguments. In generated CASM/Cairo
code, the arguments to `main` are fetched using the `Input` hint.
* Modifies the CI to use
[juvix-cairo-vm](https://github.com/anoma/juvix-cairo-vm)
* Closes#2563
Checklist
------------
- [x] Serialization of the Haskell CASM representation to the JSON
format accepted by the Cairo VM.
- [x] Add the `cairo` target to the `compile` commands.
- [x] Output via the Cairo `output` builtin.
- [x] Relativize jumps. Cairo VM doesn't actually support absolute
jumps.
- [x] Test the translation from CASM to Cairo by running the output in
the Cairo VM
- [x] Add Cairo VM to the CI
This PR is a snapshot of the current work on the JuvixAsm -> Nockma
translation. The compilation of Juvix programs to Nockma now works so we
decided to raise this PR now to avoid it getting too large.
## Juvix -> Nockma compilation
You can compile a frontend Juvix file to Nockma as follows:
example.juvix
```
module example;
import Stdlib.Prelude open;
fib : Nat → Nat → Nat → Nat
| zero x1 _ := x1
| (suc n) x1 x2 := fib n x2 (x1 + x2);
fibonacci (n : Nat) : Nat := fib n 0 1;
sumList (xs : List Nat) : Nat :=
for (acc := 0) (x in xs)
acc + x;
main : Nat := fibonacci 9 + sumList [1; 2; 3; 4];
```
```
$ juvix compile -t nockma example.juvix
```
This will generate a file `example.nockma` which can be run using the
nockma evaluator:
```
$ juvix dev nockma eval example.nockma
```
Alternatively you can compile JuvixAsm to Nockma:
```
$ juvix dev asm compile -t nockma example.jva
```
## Tests
We compile an evaluate the JuvixAsm tests in
cb3659e08e/test/Nockma/Compile/Asm/Positive.hs
We currently skip some because either:
1. They are too slow to run in the current evaluator (due to arithmetic
operations using the unjetted nock code from the anoma nock stdlib).
2. They trace data types like lists and booleans which are represented
differently by the asm interpreter and the nock interpreter
3. They operate on raw negative numbers, nock only supports raw natural
numbers
## Next steps
On top of this PR we will work on improving the evaluator so that we can
enable the slow compilation tests.
