NimVM - Bytecode Serialization Standard
Rationale
This document aims to lay down a simple, extensible and linear format for serializing and deserializing compiled NimVM's code to a buffer (be it an actual OS file or an in-memory stream).
Disclaimer
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC2119.
Literals in this document will be often surrounded by double quotes to make it obvious they're not part of a sentence. To avoid ambiguity, this document will always specify explicitly if double quotes need to be considered as part of a term or not, which means that if it is not otherwise stated they are to be considered part of said term. In addition to quotes, literals may be formatted in monospace to make them stand out more in the document.
