Operations ---------- Operations take either 0 or 1 parameter. The ones that take a parameter, it can be either a int8, int16 or int32. Instructions follow this logic: 00 ~ 9F : no parameter A0 ~ BF : int8 (1 byte) C0 ~ DF : int16 (2 bytes) E0 ~ FF : int32 (4 bytes) The operations of 1, 2 and 4 bytes are always interchangeable by adding/subtracting 0x20. ,----------- no parameter | ,-------- int8 | | ,----- int16 | | | ,-- int32 NP I8 I16 I32 Opc Instruction Description Stack operations: a0 c0 e0 pushi [int] Push int a1 c1 e1 pushc [index] Push constant a2 c2 e2 pushf [function] Push function id 00 pushz Push zero (or false) 01 pusht Push true 02 newa Push (create) empty array 03 newt Push (create) empty table 04 pop 05 dup Local variables: a3 c3 e3 setl [int] Set stack top as indexed local variable a4 c4 e4 getl [int] Get indexed local variable and place on stack a5 c5 e5 setg [int] Set global variable a6 c6 e6 getg [int] Get global variable Function operations: a7 c7 e7 call [n_pars] Enter function on stack toplevel (passing n next stack values as parameters) 10 ret Leave a function (return value in stack) 11 retn Leave a function (return nil) Table and array operations: 16 getkv Get table's value based on key (pull 1 value, push 1 value) 17 setkv Set table's key and value (pull 2 values from stack) 18 geta Get array's position value 19 seta Set array's position value (pull 2 values from stack) 1a appnd Add value to the end of array 1b next Push the next pair into the stack (for loops) 1c smt Set value metatable 1d mt Get value metatable Logical/arithmetic: 20 sum Sum top 2 values in stack 21 sub Subtract top 2 values in stack 22 mul Multiply top 2 values in stack 23 div Float division 24 idiv Integer division 25 eq Equality 26 neq Inequality 27 lt Less than 28 lte Less than or equals 29 gt Greater than 2a gte Greater than or equals 2b and Bitwise AND 2c or Bitwise OR 2d xor Bitwise XOR 2e pow Power 2f shl Shift left 30 shr Shift right Other value operations: 40 len Get table, array or string size 41 type Get type from value at the top of the stack b0 cast [type] Cast type to another type 42 ver Return VM version External code: 48 cmpl Compile code to assembly 49 asmbl Assemble code to bytecode format 4a load Load bytecode as function (will place function on stack) Control flow: a8 c8 e8 bz [pc] Branch if zero a9 c9 e9 bnz [pc] Branch if not zero aa ca ea jmp [pc] Unconditional jump * Jumps can only happen within the same function.
