AVM opcodes
The full list of AVM opcodes are now available here.
There are 3 new opcodes:
- mod (for modulus)
- rem (for checked remainder)
- rem.w (for wrapping remainder)
You can find references to them in the source code here.
New functionality
- function and closure no longer require a minimum # of inputs, instructions, or outputs. This increases the flexibility of programs.
- A new keyword finalize has been introduced, which allows you to evaluate on-chain (public) logic after a function has been executed.
- A new storage type mapping has been introduced, which allows a program to store public on-chain data accessible by program functions.
- Two new commands increment and decrement have been introduced, to allow a program to finalize to increment or decrement the value stored in a mapping.
For those interested to play with an early preview of these features:
1. Install the Aleo Plugin for Sublime Text 3 which will make it easy to read the new syntax.
2. Re-install aleo (with git clone https://github.com/AleoHQ/aleo.git && cd aleo && cargo install --path .)
3. Try the new token.aleo program here: https://github.com/AleoHQ/aleo/tree/main/examples/token (or cd aleo/examples/token)
