This file describes the binary format of Dart Kernel.

Notation
--------
Bitmasks are described with the syntax:
```scala
    Byte flags (flag1, flag2, ..., flagN)
```
where 'flag<N>' is the N-th least significant bit,
(so flag1 is the least significant bit).

Bytes with tagging bits are described with the syntax:
```scala
    Byte byte (10xxxxxx)
```
where the x'es represent the bit positions to be extracted from the
byte and the 0'es and 1'es the bits used for tagging.  The leftmost bit
is the most significant.

Binary format
-------------
```scala
type Byte = a byte

abstract type UInt {}

type UInt7 extends UInt {
  Byte byte1(0xxxxxxx);
}

type UInt14 extends UInt {
  Byte byte1(10xxxxxx); // most significant byte, discard the high bit
  Byte byte2(xxxxxxxx); // least signficant byte
}

type UInt30 extends UInt {
  Byte byte1(11xxxxxx); // most significant byte, discard the two high bits.
  Byte byte2(xxxxxxxx);
  Byte byte3(xxxxxxxx);
  Byte byte4(xxxxxxxx); // least significant byte
}

type UInt32 = big endian 32-bit unsigned integer

type Double = Double-precision floating-point number.

type List<T> {
  UInt length;
  T[length] items;
}

type RList<T> {
  T[length] elements;
  Uint32 length;
}

// Untagged pairs.
type Pair<T0, T1> {
  T0 first;
  T1 second;
}
```

A string table consists of an array of end offsets and a payload array of
strings encoded as UTF-8.  The array of end offsets maps a string index to the
offset of the _next_ string in the table or the offset of the end of the array
for the last string.  These offsets are relative to the string payload array.
Thus, string number 0 consists of the UTF-8 encoded string stretching from
offset 0 (inclusive) to endOffset[0] (exclusive); and string number N for N > 0
consists of the UTF-8 encoded string stretching from offset endOffset[N-1]
(inclusive) to endOffset[N] (exclusive).

``` scala
type StringTable {
  List<UInt> endOffsets;
  Byte[endOffsets.last] utf8Bytes;
}

type StringReference {
  UInt index; // Index into the Component's strings.
}

type ConstantReference {

  List<UInt> lineStarts;

  UInt32 length;
  SourceInfo[length] source;
  // The ith entry is byte-offset to the ith Source.
  UInt32[length] sourceIndex;
