module Register

# offset memory set access
|
||||
# so the value must be given as the first register
|
||||
# the second argument holds the base address
|
||||
# and the third a possible (small) offset into the "object"

|

# SetSlot moves data into memory from a register.
|
||||
# GetSlot moves data into a register from memory.
|
||||
# Both use a base memory (a register)
|
||||
|
||||
# While the virtual machine has only one instruction (Set) to move data between slots,
|
||||
# the register has two, namely GetSlot and SetSlot
|
||||
#
|
||||
# if for example the value is pointed to by a register, a VariableGet (load) is needed first
|
||||
# This is because that is what cpu's can do. In programming terms this would be accessing
|
||||
# an element in an array, in the case of SetSlot setting the register in the array.
|
||||
|
||||
# btw: to move data between registers, use RegisterTransfer
