Core

From Libcpu

The libcpu core is responsible for

• the client interface
• code scanning and tagging
• code linking and dispatching logic

TODO

• big optimization feature: detect functions, convert them into LLVM functions; treat stack accesses as accesses to local array (SP-n) or argument array (SP+n)
• this "the arch has five 8 bit registers, twelve 16 bit registers, and a special program counter" is weird. There should be a formal description like:

"R" i32 * 32
"F" f64 * 32
"CTR" i32
"LR" i32

This description (it could be an array) will replace the struct in arch_types. The core will then generate the struct layout at runtime, which guarantees that the core and translated layout match. The nice thing: If the client needs to access the register file, he can ask for a pointer to a register by name, like:

void *cpu_get_reg_pointer(const char *name)

"name" could be "LR" or "R1"
