| Subject: | Abstract Machine Instructions |
To gain a better understanding of the bytecode compiler, I am reimplementing OCaml's abstract machine. I'm using tools/dumpobj to produce instruction listings of pre-compiled programs. Does the results from dumpobj accurately reflect the instruction stream fed to byterun/interp.c? Dumpobj is not compiled with the standard installation -- is it still in sync with the rest of the system? Or is there a better tool to produce an instruction listing? And on the topic of instructions, what does the following mean? 763 PUSHGETGLOBAL <0>(1, <0>(3, <0>(4, <0>(7, 0)))) Thanks! -Tom
