Use CALL instruction to call foreign functions #82

Closed marekjm closed 9 years ago

marekjm commented 9 years ago

Refactor code so that call instruction is used to call foreign (imported with eximport) functions instead of excall. This issue will make excall instruction obsolete.

This change will make it easier to implement typesystem extensions later. One thing that will become less complicated to implement is msg opcode for dynamic dispatch of methods - if the calling mechanism is unified there will be no problem with attaching foreign functions as accepted methods of prototypes.
