2023-11-01Added instructions for allocating, setting, getting and deleting heap memoryAryadev Chavali
One may allocate any number of (bytes|hwords|words), set or get some index from allocated memory, and delete heap memory. The idea is that all the relevant datums will be on the stack, so no register usage. This means no instructions should use register space at all (other than POP, which I'm debating about currently). Register space is purely for users.
2023-11-01Introduced a new mathematical operator MULTAryadev Chavali
Thankfully multiplication, like addition, is the same under 2s complement as it is for unsigned numbers. So I just need to implement those versions to be fine.
2023-11-01Changed inst bytecode methods for new register systemAryadev Chavali
As registers may be theoretically infinite in number, we should use the largest size possible when referring to them in bytecode (a word).
2023-11-01Removed OP_EQ signed versions as they're uselessAryadev Chavali
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.
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.
