/**
 * @file load_global.c
 * @brief Implements the OP_LOAD_GLOBAL opcode for loading global variables in the VM.
 *
 * This file handles the OP_LOAD_GLOBAL instruction, which loads a global variable
 * onto the stack using its index.
 *
 * Behavior:
 * - Loads the global variable at the specified index.
 * - Pushes the value onto the stack.
 *
 * Error Handling:
 * - Exits with an error if the index is out of bounds.
 *
 * Example:
 * - Bytecode: OP_LOAD_GLOBAL 0
 * - Stack before: []
 * - Stack after: [global_value]
