#+title: Oreo's Virtual Machine (OVM) #+author: Aryadev Chavali #+date: 2023-10-15 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: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). Then to execute the program, the virtual machine interpreter ~ovm.out~ is used.
