// Process /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

/*
    A Process is what brings a stack of blocks to life. The process
    keeps track of which block to run next, evaluates block arguments,
    handles control structures, and so forth.

    The ThreadManager is the (passive) scheduler, telling each process
    when to run by calling its runStep() method. The runStep() method
    will execute some number of blocks, then voluntarily yield control
    so that the ThreadManager can run another process.

    The Scratch etiquette is that a process should yield control at the
    end of every loop iteration, and while it is running a timed command
    (e.g. "wait 5 secs") or a synchronous command (e.g. "broadcast xxx
    and wait"). Since Snap also has lambda and custom blocks Snap adds
    yields at the beginning of each non-atomic custom command block
    execution, and - to let users escape infinite loops and recursion -
    whenever the process runs into a timeout.

    a Process runs for a receiver, i.e. a sprite or the stage or any
    blocks-scriptable object that we'll introduce.

    structure:

    topBlock            the stack's first block, of which all others
                        are children
    receiver            object (sprite) to which the process applies,
                        cached from the top block
    context                the Context describing the current state
                        of this process
    homeContext            stores information relevant to the whole process,
                        i.e. its receiver, result etc.
    isPaused            boolean indicating whether to pause
    readyToYield        boolean indicating whether to yield control to
                        another process
    readyToTerminate    boolean indicating whether the stop method has
                        been called
    isDead              boolean indicating a terminated clone process
    timeout                msecs after which to force yield
    lastYield            msecs when the process last yielded
    errorFlag            boolean indicating whether an error was encountered
    prompter            active instance of StagePrompterMorph
    httpRequest         active instance of an HttpRequest or null
    pauseOffset         msecs between the start of an interpolated operation
                        and when the process was paused

// version w/o tail call optimization:
--------------------------------------
Caution: we cannot just revert to this version of the method, because to make
tail call elimination work many tweaks had to be done to various primitives.
For the most part these tweaks are about schlepping the outer context (for
the variable bindings) and the isLambda flag along, and are indicated by a
short comment in the code. But to really revert would take a good measure
of trial and error as well as debugging. In the developers file archive there
is a version of threads.js dated 120119(2) which basically resembles the
last version before introducing tail call optimization on 120123.

    parentContext    the Context to return to when this one has
                    been evaluated.
    outerContext    the Context holding my lexical scope
    expression        SyntaxElementMorph, an array of blocks to evaluate,
                    null or a String denoting a selector, e.g. 'doYield'
    receiver        the object to which the expression applies, if any
    variables        the current VariableFrame, if any
    upvars          the current UpvarReference, if any (default: null)
    inputs            an array of input values computed so far
                    (if expression is a    BlockMorph)
    pc                the index of the next block to evaluate
                    (if expression is an array)
    startTime        time when the context was first evaluated
    startValue        initial value for interpolated operations
    activeAudio     audio buffer for interpolated operations, don't persist
    activeNote      audio oscillator for interpolated ops, don't persist
    isLambda        marker for return ops
    isImplicitLambda    marker for return ops
