2024-04-15Moved read_file to a general base libraryAryadev Chavali
2024-04-14parser -> preprocesser + parserAryadev Chavali
I've decided to split the module parsing into two modules, one for the preprocessing stage which only deals with tokens and the parsing stage which generates bytecode.
2024-04-14Wrote a new lexer API in C++Aryadev Chavali
Essentially a refactor of the C formed lexer into C++ style. I can already see some benefits from doing this, in particular speed of prototyping.
2024-04-14Start writing assembler in C++Aryadev Chavali
Best language to use as it's already compatible with the headers I'm using and can pretty neatly enter the build system while also using the functions I've built for converting to and from bytecode!
2024-04-14fix! loops in preprocess_use_blocks iterate to the wrong bound0.0.1Aryadev Chavali
A token_stream being constructed on the spot has different used/available properties to a fully constructed one: a fully constructed token stream uses available to hold the total number of tokens and used as an internal iterator, while one that is still being constructed uses the semantics of a standard darr. Furthermore, some loops didn't divide by ~sizeof(token_t)~ which lead to iteration over bound errors.
2023-11-08Makefile now assembles and interprets instruction-test.asm example firstAryadev Chavali
2023-11-03Added Makefile recipe to interpret all examplesAryadev Chavali
2023-11-03Added memory-print.asm to examples list in MakefileAryadev Chavali
2023-11-02Added recipes to assemble or interpret individuallyAryadev Chavali
2023-11-01Fixed issue where sometimes vm_print_registers wouldn't work for bytesAryadev Chavali
Happened because we weren't printing all relevant words due to naturally flooring the result of division. Here I ceil the division to ensure we get the maximal number of words necessary.
2023-11-01Added an arena allocatorAryadev Chavali
A page is a flexibly allocated structure of bytes, with a count of the number of bytes already allocated (used) and number of bytes available overall (available), with a pointer to the next page, if any. heap_t is a linked list of pages. One may allocate a requested size off the heap which causes one of two things: 1) Either a page already exists with enough space for the requested size, in which case that page's pointer is used as the base for the requested pointer 2) No pages satisfy the requested size, so a new page is allocated which is the new end of the heap.
2023-11-01Makefile now has recipes for example assembly programsAryadev Chavali
Dependencies are just ASM_OUT binary and the corresponding assembly program for the bytecode output file. Actually works very well, with changes triggering a recompilation. Also an `exec` recipe is introduced to do the task of compiling an assembly program and executing the corresponding bytecode all at once.
2023-11-01Makefile now has green colours for binaries and yellow for object filesAryadev Chavali
2023-10-31Moved inst module to libAryadev Chavali
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.
2023-10-29Make Verbose a universal flagAryadev Chavali
All objects target LIB anyway, so VERBOSE is a universal macro for this code base.
2023-10-26Implemented a rudimentary parser with support for 4 instruction typesAryadev Chavali
2023-10-26Makefile now prints dependencies on successful compilationAryadev Chavali
2023-10-26Moved base functions from inst.c to dedicated fileAryadev Chavali
Doesn't make sense for them to be in the VM module when they have a more general purpose now.
2023-10-25Separated lexer from main file in asmAryadev Chavali
2023-10-23Starting development on assembly languageAryadev Chavali
2023-10-23Make root directory an include path, set #include's properlyAryadev Chavali
Easier to write includes now just using < with the module name, in comparison to using relative paths.
2023-10-23Reintroduced example fib.c via examples/ folderAryadev Chavali
2023-10-23Added lib folder for general stuff, introduced as target to MakefileAryadev Chavali
2023-10-23src->vm, Makefile is now a bit more abstracted and pretty coloursAryadev Chavali
Changed folder names for sake of clarity (will be introducing a new build target soon), and Makefile can now easily support more targets.
2023-10-23Added an example program fib.cAryadev Chavali
This is simply a program with an embedded set of instructions which indefinitely computes and prints fibonacci numbers, computing them in pairs. Does it completely through the virtual machine rather than just hard C instructions. Also amended the Makefile to compile it. Required moving the main.c object file into the dependencies of $(DIST)/$(OUT). I should track the dependencies for fib.c and main.c as well.
2023-10-22Added flag to Makefile to set VERBOSE macro in base.hAryadev Chavali
2023-10-22Made a debug and release configuration via flagsAryadev Chavali
Also split out the check for whether $(DIST) exists by making it its own recipe. Removes the repeated checks in each object compilation.
2023-10-16Added functionality to read and write instruction bytecodeAryadev Chavali
Uses some bit hacks to quickly check what data type an opcode may have by shifting down to units then casting it to a data_type_t. Not very well tested yet, we'll need to see now.
2023-10-15Implemented a dynamically sized byte arrayAryadev Chavali
Pretty simple, want to ensure amortised constant big O so I use a REALLOC_MULT, which can be redefined if wished.
2023-10-15Moved vm_* code to its own file (runtime.(h|c))Aryadev Chavali
2023-10-15First commit!Aryadev Chavali
This is a from the ground rework of an old project of the same name. I'm hoping to be more concerned with runtime efficiency, bytecode size and all those things that should actually matter for something that may host time/space critical code.
