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)
# 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 < Setter
# 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)
# def initialize source , register , array , index
# super
# end
# attr_accessor :register , :array , :index
def to_s
"SetSlot: #{register} -> #{array} [#{index}]"
end
end
# Produce a SetSlot instruction.
# From and to are registers or symbols that can be transformed to a register by resolve_to_register
# index resolves with resolve_index.
