module Register
# GetSlot moves data into a register from memory.
# SetSlot moves data into memory from a register.
# 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 GetSlot setting the value in the array.
# btw: to move data between registers, use RegisterTransfer
class GetSlot < Instruction
# 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 Instruciton name
# So GetSlot means the slot (array and index) moves to the register (last argument)
