module Register
# 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
#
# 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
class SetSlot < Instruction
# If you had a c array and index offset
# the instruction would do array[index] = register
# So SetSlot means the register (first argument) moves to the slot (array and index)
