New architecture: C #6

krisbug commented 2025年11月15日 11:20:33 +01:00

Create a new C-based architecture for the purpose of deprecating arch/bytecode as the default architecture.

Benefits:

1. Better performance than bytecode(?)
2. 32/64 bit cells
3. Bigger dictionary is possible
4. Would be the first arch with the MEMORY wordset implemented
5. More extensible

Drawbacks:

1. Depends on a C compiler (just like bytecode, but bytecode also depends on xxd)

Progress:

• Implement C "assembler" based on genasm.fth
• Implement primitives
• Implement I/O
• Make it the default arch

As of commit da66347b15, it is now possible to enter the interpreter, type a word, execute it and segfault

Mostly done, still needs more testing and fixes.

Done. Finishing touches in commit 165e438920 :)
