Is there a method to freeze the execution of Neko bytecode if it tooks
too long (probably measured in number of VM instructions executed)? Some
kind of debug mode maybe?
It's quite useful when the code you run is not trusted...
No, there's not such a thing.
However, the possibility is to start a thread in parallel, and if the
initial call to the VM has not returned after a given time, you can kill
the VM thread. There is currently no simple way to abort the VM
execution from another thread, but this is something I'll think about
adding.
