Version 8 of TAL

Updated 2006-10-28 15:24:10

Tcl Assembly Language.

See MS's bytecode engine ideas and The anatomy of a bytecoded command for more explanations.


CMcC: I've put some incomplete work on tcl script generation of bytecodes here: http://sharedtech.dyndns.org/~colin/bytecode.tar.gz

It dates from Apr03, and may not even compile - it's certainly incomplete.


Zarutian 28. oktober 2006: hmm... speficfying the grammar of TAL should be hard.

Backus Nour Forms:

  <statement> ::= [<label>] <instruction> "\n"
  <label>   ::= <alpanumeric string> ":"
  <instruction> ::= <mnomic name> [<parameter>]*

Type of instructions needed:

  • Artimetric and logic operations
  • Input/Output
  • Branching
