Add guide for creating modules. #87

Open ta0kira opened 4 years ago

ta0kira commented 4 years ago

Specifically:

.zeolite-module semantics and formatting.
C++ extensions, once #50 is done.

ta0kira commented 3 years ago

Specifically for C++ modules:

How to call functions.
How to use self, Var_self, parent, and parent->parent.
Prohibition of @type data members.

C++ modules are probably better documented in example so that the code can be tested. For example, create an extension and outline the steps in a readme, without being verbose about intermediate file states, then document things like function calls directly in the C++ code.

The C++ example should also cover TRACE_CREATION and CAPTURE_CREATION.
