A stack based virtual machine in C11. Deals primarily in bytes,
|
||||
doesn't make assertions about typing and is very simple to target.
|
||||
* Instructions to target
|
||||
You'll need [[file:src/inst.h][inst.h]] for the instruction API. You
|
||||
must convert user programs to instructions via ~inst_t~, then emit
|
||||
bytecode via ~insts_write_bytecode*~.
|
||||
You need to link with the object files for
|
||||
[[file:lib/base.c][base.c]], [[file:lib/darr.c][darr.c]] and
|
||||
[[file:vm/inst.c][inst.c]] to be able to properly target the OVM. The
|
||||
basic idea is to create instructions via ~inst_t~ then using the
|
||||
~inst(s)_write_*~ API to generate bytecode (and write to a file).
|
||||
|
||||
This is all that is necessary to create a language which targets this
|
||||
virtual machine. To execute that bytecode, a user must use my virtual
|
||||
machine program.
|
||||
Then to execute the program, the virtual machine interpreter ~ovm.out~
|
||||
is used.
