Hello, and welcome to your AtomVM recap for September 21st through September 28th.
This week saw 8 pull request activity items, 4 additional commits this week.
The lead pattern is stabilization: fixes that unblock testing on constrained hardware, close races in core services, and make build tools reflect the V M you actually run.
First, platform reliability. P R 2382 addressed memory leaks that were breaking Wi-Fi tests on E S P 32 S 2 continuous integration. The test harness creates and destroys a virtual machine per test, and event queues and driver state were being retained across cycles, starving the Wi-Fi driver of heap. With cleanup on…
Second, core runtime correctness. P R 2404 fixed the supervisor when starting a child from a specification sent in a message, and hardened restart logic if a message arrives mid-restart, which matters for closed-world call analysis and pruning. P R 2403 fixed the just-in-time compiler skipping large integers. If you…
Third, accurate tooling and release consolidation. P R 2395, merged as commit 2386a12, stops hand-maintaining supported function and instruction lists inside tools. Two optional build checks now derive the lists from the V M source…
