Strings, due to their potentially large size, are stored outside of a
routine's code section, in the data section. To access the correct
string, you must read the jump index, then the real address from the
jump table - and extra layer of indirection will result in more flexible
data down the road, I hope.
Other changes include:
* Added string concat operator ..
* Added TOY_STRING_MAX_LENGTH
* Strings can't be created or concatenated longer than the max length
* The parser will display a warning if the bucket is too small for a
string at max length, but it will continue
* Added TOY_BUCKET_IDEAL to correspend with max string length
* The bucket now allocates an address that is 4-byte aligned
* Fixed missing entries in the parser rule table
* Corrected some failing TOY_BITNESS tests
To help with storing strings within tables, I've replaced the unused
'_padding' member of 'Toy_String' with 'cachedHash', which is set to
zero on string allocation.
The hash of a string isn't generated and stored until it's actually
needed, as the rope pattern means not every string needs a hash -
hopefully this will save unnecessarily wasted time.
When a hash of a string is needed, the hashing function first checks to
see if that string already has one, and if so, returns it. Again, less
time wasted.
When generating a new string hash, the hashing function takes the
string's type into account, as node-based strings first need their
contents assembled into a simple char buffer.
Other changes include:
* Changed 'TOY_VALUE_TO_*' to 'TOY_VALUE_FROM_*'
* Changed 'TOY_VALUE_IS_EQUAL' to 'TOY_VALUES_ARE_EQUAL'
* Added a missing '#pragma once' to 'toy_print.h'
I've expanded support to three major platforms:
- linux
- windows
- macos
The CI now runs the test suites for all of these, both under normal
conditions and under GDB (except for macos, which lacks GDB support).
TOY_BITNESS specifies the bit-width of the current platform, either 32
or 64. A value of -1 means the bit-width could not be determined. Some
tests will be disabled if the appropriate bit-width can't be determined,
and a warning is printed to stderr.
TOY_API has been tweaked, and is now dependant on different
preprocessor flags. It is defined as 'extern' on all supported
platforms except windows, which instead specifies DLL support. It
defaults to 'extern' if the platform can't be determined.

Added testing on windows under GDB, read more
I'm hunting a segfault that only appears on windows, but I lack a
windows machine, so github's runners are all I have right now.
