Aardvark

This contains all programs for the Aardvark Programming Language. It contains the VM, the Compiler, and the Assembler.

Aardvark VM

The Aardvark Assembler is the basic assembler for Aardvark's IR.

The constant pool is how each IR file should start. The constant pool constants all strings and objects.

It should look like this at the top of the file:

&consts:

0, String, "Hello, World!"    ; Stores "Hello, World!" at index 0 in the pool

&consts_end:

Each instruction is one byte and the operands can be more than one.

halt: 0 operands; Stops the program
push: 1 operand; Pushes a value onto the stack
- push 1, 1 is the value to be pushed
pop: 0 operands; Pops a value of the top of the stack
load_const: 1 operand; Loads a constant on the top of the stack from the constant pool
- load_const 0, Takes the constant at index 0 in the constant pool
setlocal: 1 operand; Sets a local variable by popping the value on the top of the stack.
- setlocal 0, Sets the local 0 with the item on the top of the stack.
- can be any number but best to use it incrementally
getlocal: 1 operand; Gets a local variable by pushing the value onto the top of the stack
- getlocal 0, Gets the local 0 onto the top of the stack
setglobal: 1 operand; Sets a global variable same as a local.
getglobal: 1 operand; Gets a global variable same as a local.
