I've Added Gdbstub to UVM32

GDB stub on a 3KB embedded VM — debug bytecode on STM32 without leaving your workflow.
Strengths
- •Single C file with zero dynamic allocations fits microcontrollers under 3KB flash
- •GDB remote serial protocol enables standard debugging workflows on embedded targets
- •Safe FFI prevents misbehaving bytecode from crashing the host system
Weaknesses
- •Extremely niche audience — only matters if you're already embedding VMs in firmware
- •Compile-run cycle for VM code adds friction compared to interpreted scripting languages

Target Audience

Post Description
uvm32 is a risc-v small virtual machine. I've added gdbstub support to it. Using GDB remote serial protocol connection, a gdb instance can connect to the host and debug the code running on the emulated core.
