# A Block is the smalles unit of code, a list of instructions as it were
# It is also a point to jump/branch to. An address in the final stream.
# To allow for forward branches creation does not fix the position.
# Thee position is fixed in one of three ways
# - create the block with ruby block, signalling that the instantiation poin is the position
# - call block.code with the code or if you wish program.add_block (and add you code with calls)
# - the assmebly process will pin it if it wasn't set
# creating blocks is done by calling the blocks name/label on either a program or a block
# (method missing will cathc the call and create the block)
# and the easiest way is to go into a ruby block and start writing instructions
# Example (backward jump):
# program.loop do create a new block with label loop
# sub r1 , r1 , 1 count the r1 register down
# bne :loop jump back to loop when the counter is not zero
# end (initialization and actual code missing off course)
# Example (forward jump)
# else_block = program.else
# program.if do
# test r1 , 0 test some condition
# beq :else_block
# mov . . .. .. do whatever the if block does
# end
# else_block.code do
# ldr .... do whatever else does
# end
# Blocks are also used to create instructions, and so Block has functions for every cpu instruction
# and to make using the apu function easier, there are functions that create registers as well
