module Register

  # the register machine has at least 8 registers, named r0-r5 , :lr and :pc (for historical reasons)
  # we can load and store their contents and
  # access (get/set) memory at a constant offset from a register
  # while the vm works with objects, the register machine has registers,
  #             but we keep the names for better understanding, r4/5 are temporary/scratch
  # there is no direct memory access, only through registers
  # constants can/must be loaded into registers before use

  # Instructions form a graph.
  # Linear instructions form a linked list
  # Branches fan out, Labels collect
  # Labels are the only valid branch targets
