Idea: emulate subset of IA32, so that we can run on real old
i386 hardware, without floating point
opcode bits
R0 EAX 0
R1 ECX 1
R2 EDX 2
R3 EBX 3
R4 ESP 4
R5 EBP 5
R6 ESI 6
R7 EDI 7
EIP
EFLAGS
have only a minimal set of operations:
mov
add
sub
and
or
not
xor
neg
cmp
je/jne/ja/jae/jb/jbe
ror
shr
pop
push
call/jsr
ret
jmp
this is special stuff not really needed in the high-level language,
but we need it in order to write an operating system on a PC
(Oberon puts those things into a system module in order to keep
it away from the general purpose language):
cli
sti
reti
in
out
hlt
int
nop may be useful for patchable binary formats and timing issues
(implementing loops with known timing)
early output, e.g. PC port 0x80 POST
usual abbreviations, they make code more compact or/and execution faster:
xor eax, eax -> mov eax, 0
inc eax -> add eax, 1
test eax, eax -> cmp eax, 0
lea -> mov, add, etc.
