From 40d0f1a43828779bd9bbb9e2a607de672b6d00d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: giles Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 18:25:41 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] SX bytecode: format definition, compiler, OCaml VM (Phase 1) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Three new files forming the bytecode compilation pipeline: spec/bytecode.sx — opcode definitions (~65 ops): - Stack/constant ops (CONST, NIL, TRUE, POP, DUP) - Lexical variable access (LOCAL_GET/SET, UPVALUE_GET/SET, GLOBAL_GET/SET) - Jump-based control flow (JUMP, JUMP_IF_FALSE/TRUE) - Function ops (CALL, TAIL_CALL, RETURN, CLOSURE, CALL_PRIM) - HO form ops (ITER_INIT/NEXT, MAP_OPEN/APPEND/CLOSE) - Scope/continuation ops (SCOPE_PUSH/POP, RESET, SHIFT) - Aser specialization (ASER_TAG, ASER_FRAG) spec/compiler.sx — SX-to-bytecode compiler (SX code, portable): - Scope analysis: resolve variables to local/upvalue/global at compile time - Tail position detection for TCO - Code generation for: if, when, and, or, let, begin, lambda, define, set!, quote, function calls, primitive calls - Constant pool with deduplication - Jump patching for forward references hosts/ocaml/lib/sx_vm.ml — bytecode interpreter (OCaml): - Stack-based VM with array-backed operand stack - Call frames with base pointer for locals - Direct opcode dispatch via pattern match - Zero allocation per step (unlike CEK machine's dict-per-step) - Handles: constants, variables, jumps, calls, primitives, collections, string concat, define Architecture: compiler.sx is spec (SX, portable). VM is platform (OCaml-native). Same bytecode runs on JS/WASM VMs. Also includes: CekFrame record optimization in transpiler.sx (29 frame types as records instead of Hashtbl).
