Virtual Machine datasheet

Registers

There are 6 multi purposes registers, marked from a to f.

There are 4 special registers :

  • sp : The stack pointer
  • ip : The instruction pointer
  • st : The stack top value
  • eq : The result of the last test performed

Instruction Set

Stack instructions

  • psh <integer> : Pushes an integer onto the stack
  • pop : Pops the stack

Arithmetic operations

  • add <register_a> <register_b> : Adds the content of register_b to register_a
  • sub <register_a> <register_b> : Substracts the content of register_b to register_a
  • mul <register_a> <register_b> : Multiplies the content of register_b to register_a
  • div <register_a> <register_b> : Divides the content of register_a by register_b

Memory operations

  • mov <register_a> <register_b> : Copies content of register_b in register_a
  • jmp <instruction> : Jump to <instruction> if Eq register is true

Boole algebra operations

  • tee <register_a> <register_b> : Test if register_a == register_b
  • tne <register_a> <register_b> : Test if register_a != register_b
  • tll <register_a> <register_b> : Test if register_a < register_b
  • tmm <register_a> <register_b> : Test if register_a > register_b
  • tel <register_a> <register_b> : Test if register_a <= register_b
  • tem <register_a> <register_b> : Test if register_a >= register_b

Other

  • dmp : Dumps the stack and the registers

  • drg <register> : Prints the content of the specified register

  • prt <register> : Prints the character corresponding to register value

  • hlt : Stops the program

No runtime deps
