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 need to link with the object files for
|
|
[[file:lib/base.c][base.c]], [[file:lib/darr.c][darr.c]] and
|
|
[[file:lib/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).
|
|
|
|
Then to execute the program, the virtual machine interpreter ~ovm.out~
|
|
is used.
|
|
|
|
For clarity, one may build ~lib~ (~make lib~) then use the resulting
|
|
object files to link and create bytecode for the virtual machine.
