Torsten Ruger 35adf9a5e6 rename set_slot
set_slot was clear about the target, but not the source.
Better with reg_to_slot (and soon it’s inverse slot_to_reg)

module Register
# GetSlot moves data into a register from memory.
# RegToSlot moves data into memory from a register.
# Both use a base memory (a register)
# 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 GetSlot setting the value in the array.
# btw: to move data between registers, use RegisterTransfer
class GetSlot < Getter
# If you had a c array and index offset
# the instruction would do register = array[index]
# The arguments are in the order that makes sense for the Instruction name
# So GetSlot means the slot (array and index) moves to the register (last argument)
# def initialize source , array , index , register
# super
# end
# attr_accessor :array , :index , :register
end
# Produce a GetSlot instruction.
# Array and to are registers or symbols that can be transformed to a register by resolve_to_register
# index resolves with resolve_index.
