Access to the VM stack from initCompiler #994

Closed giann closed 3 years ago

giann commented 3 years ago

Over at https://github.com/munificent/craftinginterpreters/blob/997617efeff026edde9d6ba339ff432e27031eca/c/compiler.c#L312 initCompiler will use copyString which in turn will call allocateString which does stack manipulation on the global vm.

How is this ok at compile time?

Reading more about it, it at least seems useful to populate at compile time the interned strings table.
