 Package vm implements the Ethereum Virtual Machine.

-The vm package implements two EVMs, a byte code VM and a JIT VM. The BC
-(Byte Code) VM loops over a set of bytes and executes them according to the set
-of rules defined in the Ethereum yellow paper. When the BC VM is invoked it
-invokes the JIT VM in a separate goroutine and compiles the byte code in JIT
-instructions.
-
-The JIT VM, when invoked, loops around a set of pre-defined instructions until
-it either runs of gas, causes an internal error, returns or stops.
-
-The JIT optimiser attempts to pre-compile instructions in to chunks or segments
-such as multiple PUSH operations and static JUMPs. It does this by analysing the
-opcodes and attempts to match certain regions to known sets. Whenever the
-optimiser finds said segments it creates a new instruction and replaces the
-first occurrence in the sequence.
