We reuse the Parfait code at compile-time, to create the data for the compiled code.
To do this the compiler (re) defines the object memory (in parfait_adapter).

A step back: the code (program) we compile runs at run - time.
And so does parfait. So all we have to do is compile it with the program.
And thus parfait can be used at run-time.

There is an interpreter that can interpret programs compiled to the risc instruction set.
This is very handy for debugging (and nothing else).
Even more handy is the graphical interface for the interpreter, which is in it's own repository:
