# Our virtual c-machine has a number of registers of a given size and uses a stack
# So much so standard
# But our machine is oo, meaning that the register contents is typed.
# Off course current hardware does not have that (a perceived issue), but for our machine we pretend.
# So internally we have at least 8 word registers, one of which is used to keep track of types*
# and any number of scratch registers
# but externally it's all Values (see there)
# * Note that register content is typed externally. Not as in mri, where int's are tagged. Floats can's
# be tagged and lambda should be it's own type, so tagging does not work
# A Machines main responsibility in the framework is to instantiate Instruction
# Value functions are mapped to machines by concatenating the values class name + the methd name
# Example: IntegerValue.plus( value ) -> Machine.signed_plus (value )
# Also, shortcuts are created to easily instantiate Instruction objects. The "standard" set of instructions
# (arm-influenced) provides for normal operations on a register machine,
# Example: pop -> StackInstruction.new( {:opcode => :pop}.merge(options) )
# Instructions work with options, so you can pass anything in, and the only thing the functions does
# is save you typing the clazz.new. It passes the function name as the :opcode
class CMachine
# hmm, not pretty but for now
