User:O11c/asm

From The Mana World

This is a spec for some internal stuff that's better than the current stuff.

It is not expected that ordinary people will ever need to do this, but it *is* more powerful than the existing language.

I've given up on the lambda stack method - despite its purity, it simply consumes too much memory without specialized tools.

A script consists of a sequence of one-byte opcode and one-byte data, as well as ancillary tables used to assign meaning to the data byte.

There are tables for: integer constant, string constant, label or user function, builtin function, and variable name

These tables are per-function, so there should be no problem hitting the limit of 256 of each.

At runtime, there are 3 stacks: integer, string, and location (label/user function). Should there be another one for opaque pointers, such as items?

Note that the builtin functions obviously do NOT correspond directly to the ones in the scripting page.

Opcodes

op arg description
add N ≥ 2 pop top N integers, push their sum
cat N ≥ 2 pop top N strings, push their concatenation.
sub N ≥ 2 pop top N-1 integers, pop another, subtract the others from it, push the result
mul N ≥ 2 pop top N integers, push their product
div N ≥ 2 pop top N-1 integers, pop another, divide it by all the others
mod 0 pop top two integers, push their remainder
band N ≥ 2 pop top N integers, push their bitwise-and.
bor N ≥ 2 pop top N integers, push their bitwise-or
bxor N ≥ 2 pop top N integers, bitwise-xor repeatedly, push the final result.
neg 0 pop an integer, push its negation
inv 0 pop an integer, push its bitwise complement
not 0 pop an integer, push its boolean complement
shr 0 or N pop one or two integers, push unsigned right shift
shl 0 or N pop one or two integers, push left shift.
lt,le,gt,ge,eq,ne 0 (still squishy) pop two integers, push boolean comparison result
  (still need a string version)
  (should I completely remove this and instead add more jumps?)
s2i 0 pop top string, push converted integer
i2s 0 pop top integer, push converted string
dupi 0 pop top integer, push it twice

(maybe use N to take an element that's not at the top?)

dups 0 pop top string, push it twice
popi 0 pop top integer, discard
pops 0 pop top string, discard
jump N unconditional jump to "location" table entry
jz N pop top integer; if zero, jump to location
jnz N pop top integer; if not zero, jump to location
  (maybe add jl/jg or jp/jn ?)
bcall function call a entry N from the "builtin function" table. The function must determine its own arity.
   Most functions take a fixed number of arguments - default arguments are added by the compiler.
   A few take a variable number, such as menu, and have their own way of indicating this - such as
   pushing the number of arguments onto the integer stack before the call.
ret 0 Computed jump to top location on location stack.
op arg description
li integer push an integer from the integer constant table
ls string push a string from the string constant table
ll location push a location from the label/user function table
lparam name load a pc special parameter, as given in the table
sparam name store a pc special parameter, as given in the table
lpgr name load a persistent player variable
spgr name store a persistent player variable
lpr name load a temporary player integer variable
spr name store a temporary player integer variable
lprs name load a temporary player string variable
sprs name store a temporary player string variable
lpa1r name load an account variable (#)
spa1r name store an account variable (#)
lpa2r name load an account variable (##)
spa2r name store an account variable (##)
lgr name load a global variable (whether persistent or temporary - may change)
sgr name store a global variable (whether persistent or temporary - may change)
lgrs name load a global string variable (whether persistent or temporary - may change)
sgrs name store a global string variable (whether persistent or temporary - may change)
