33e8fc8687 Expose public garbage collector API for C language
You can now do epic things like this:

    puts(_gc(xasprintf("%d", 123)));

The _gc() API is shorthand for _defer() which works like Go's keyword:

    const char *s = xasprintf("%d", 123);
    _defer(free, s);
    puts(s);

Be sure to always use -fno-omit-frame-pointer which makes code fast too.

Enjoy! See also #114

9e3e985ae5 Make terminal ui binaries work well everywhere
Here's some screenshots of an emulator tui program that was compiled on
Linux, then scp'd it to Windows, Mac, and FreeBSD.

How is this even possible that we have a nontrivial ui binary that just
works on Mac, Windows, Linux, and BSD? Surely a first ever achievement.

Fixed many bugs. Bootstrapped John McCarthy's metacircular evaluator on
bare metal in half the size of Altair BASIC (about 2.5kb) and ran it in
emulator for fun and profit.

f4f4caab0e Add x86_64-linux-gnu emulator
I wanted a tiny scriptable meltdown proof way to run userspace programs
and visualize how program execution impacts memory. It helps to explain
how things like Actually Portable Executable works. It can show you how
the GCC generated code is going about manipulating matrices and more. I
didn't feel fully comfortable with Qemu and Bochs because I'm not smart
enough to understand them. I wanted something like gVisor but with much
stronger levels of assurances. I wanted a single binary that'll run, on
all major operating systems with an embedded GPL barrier ZIP filesystem
that is tiny enough to transpile to JavaScript and run in browsers too.
