alib::expressions::detail::VirtualMachine Struct Reference

Description:

This type implements a very simple stack machine that understands just four commands (!) plus a fifth to execute sub-programs.

This class is part of module ALib Expressions. It is not too well documented as it resides in a detail namespace and is not to be used from the outside expression API.

Method Details:

DbgList()

AString alib::expressions::detail::VirtualMachine::DbgList ( Program & program )

static

Lists a virtual machine program.

Note: This method is available only with debug-builds of the library.

Parameters

program

The program to list.

Returns

The program listing.

Definition at line 505 of file virtualmachine.cpp.

Decompile()

AST * alib::expressions::detail::VirtualMachine::Decompile ( Program & program, MonoAllocator & allocator )

static

Static method that decompiles a program into an abstract syntax tree. Used to generate optimized, normalized, parsable expression strings.

Parameters

program	The program to decompile.
allocator	Allocator for AST objects (and their data).

Returns

The abstract syntax tree as a result of de-compilation.

Definition at line 346 of file virtualmachine.cpp.

Run()

Box alib::expressions::detail::VirtualMachine::Run ( Program & program, Scope & scope )

static

Static method that runs an expression program.

Parameters

program	The program to run.
scope	The scope to use.

Returns

The result value of the expression program.

Definition at line 58 of file virtualmachine.cpp.

run()

void alib::expressions::detail::VirtualMachine::run ( Program & program, Scope & scope )

static

The implementation of Run, which itself is just initialization code.

Parameters

program	The program to run.
scope	The scope to use.
