module Vm

  # Functions are similar to Blocks. Where Blocks can be jumped to, Functions can be called.

  # Functions also have arguments and a return. These are Value subclass instances, ie specify
  #   type (by class type) and register by instance

  # They also have local variables. Args take up the first n regs, then locals the rest. No 
  #  direct manipulating of registers (ie specifying the number) should be done.

  # Code-wise Functions are made up from a list of Blocks, in a similar way blocks are made up of codes
  # Four of the block have a special role:
  # - entry/exit: are usually system specific
  # - body:  the logical start of the function
  # - return: the logical end, where ALL blocks must end
  
  # Blocks can be linked in two ways:
  # -linear:  flow continues from one to the next as they are sequential both logically and "physically"
  #           use the block set_next for this. 
  #           This "the straight line", there must be a continuous sequence from body to return
  #           Linear blocks may be created from an existing block with new_block
  # - branched: You create new blocks using function.new_block which gets added "after" return
  #            These (eg if/while) blocks may themselves have linear blocks ,but the last of these 
  #            MUST have an uncoditional branch. And remember, all roads lead to return.
