90d901345a Added a routine to cleanup resources allocated to the VM
This means the stack should be heap allocated, which makes sense as
beyond 1KB one should really be using the heap rather than the stack.

7a1129d80f VM registers are now a dynamic array
Stack based machines generally need "variable space".  This may be
quite via a symbol-to-word association a list, a hashmap, or some
other system.  Here I decide to go for the simplest: extending the
register system to a dynamic/infinite number of them.  This means, in
practice, that we may use a theoretically infinite number of indexed
words, hwords and bytes to act as variable space.  This means that the
onus is on those who are targeting this virtual machine to create
their own association system to create syntactic variables: all the
machinery is technically installed within the VM, without the veneer
that causes extra cruft.

727081f99a Removed OP_EQ signed versions as they're useless
A negative number under 2s complement can never be equal to its
positive as the top bit *must* be on.  If two numbers are equivalent
bit-by-bit then they are equal for both signed and unsigned numbers.

5d800d4366 Moved inst module to lib
As it has no dependencies on vm specifically, and it's more necessary
for any vendors who wish to target the virtual machine, it makes more
sense for inst to be a lib module rather than a vm module.

4d8b855d87 Created routines for new comparator opcodes (not implemented)
Will cause error if used currently, which is fine.

42ac28d44a Make root directory an include path, set #include's properly
Easier to write includes now just using < with the module name, in
comparison to using relative paths.

ac57e32a02 Added lib folder for general stuff, introduced as target to Makefile 2023-10-23 04:25:48 +01:00

b44a61be41 src->vm, Makefile is now a bit more abstracted and pretty colours
Changed folder names for sake of clarity (will be introducing a new
build target soon), and Makefile can now easily support more targets.
