Oh, sorry, I see what happens. The last test (code->i) is what I would think
of as *code: it tests whether we're sitting on an end op, zero. The "end"
function itself is probably never called.
But this still sucks:
while (code >= code_start && code < (code_start + code_size) && code->i) {
DO_OP(code, temp, func, interpreter);
}
Three tests and an addition each op. At the *very least*, we should store
code_end = code_start + code_size. And at best...
