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
class Instruction
# returns an array of registers (RegisterReferences) that this instruction uses.
# ie for r1 = r2 + r3
# which in assembler is add r1 , r2 , r3
# it would return [r2,r3]
# for pushes the list may be longer, whereas for a jump empty
def uses
raise "abstract called for #{self.class}"
end
# returns an array of registers (RegisterReferences) that this instruction assigns to.
# ie for r1 = r2 + r3
# which in assembler is add r1 , r2 , r3
# it would return [r1]
# for most instruction this is one, but comparisons and jumps 0 , and pop's as long as 16
