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

# it would return [r2,r3]
|

# for pushes the list may be longer, whereas for a jump empty
