# - managing tables
# SubX has rudimentary support for tables.
#
# Each table is a stream of rows.
#
# Each row consists of a 4-byte row (address to a string) and a variable-size
# value.
#
# Accessing the table performs a linear scan for a key string, and always
# requires passing in the row size.
#
# Table primitives:
#   get(stream, string, row-size)
#     aborts if not found
#   get-or-insert(stream, string, row-size)
#     inserts if not found
#   get-slice(stream, slice, row-size)
#     aborts if not found
#   leaky-get-or-insert-slice(stream, slice, row-size)
#     inserts if not found

# 'table' is a stream of (key, value) rows
# keys are always strings (addresses; size 4 bytes)
# values may be any type, but rows (key+value) always occupy 'row-size' bytes
# scan 'table' for a row with a key 'key' and return the address of the corresponding value
# if no row is found, abort
get:  # table : (address stream {string, _}), key : (address string), row-size : int -> EAX : (address _)
    # pseudocode:
    #   curr = table->data
    #   max = &table->data[table->write]
    #   while curr < max
    #     if string-equal?(key, *curr)
    #       return curr+4
    #     curr += row-size
    #   abort
