AVM8 Examples

This repo is meant to demonstrate usage of the ops introduced with AVM8

The full set of opcodes introduced in AVM8 are as follows:

• bury: replace the Nth value from the top of the stack with A. bury 0 fails.
• popn: remove N values from the top of the stack
• dupn: duplicate A, N times
• pushbytess: push sequences of immediate byte arrays to stack (first byte array being deepest)
• pushints: push sequence of immediate uints to stack in the order they appear (first uint being deepest)
• proto: Prepare top call frame for a retsub that will assume A args and R return values.
• frame_dig: Nth (signed) value from the frame pointer.
• frame_bury: replace the Nth (signed) value from the frame pointer in the stack with A
• switch: branch to the Ath label. Continue at following instruction if index A exceeds the number of labels.
• match: given match cases from A[1] to A[N], branch to the Ith label where A[I] = B. Continue to the following instruction if no matches are found.
• box_create: create a box named A, of length B. Fail if A is empty or B exceeds 32,768. Returns 0 if A already existed, else 1
• box_extract: read C bytes from box A, starting at offset B. Fail if A does not exist, or the byte range is outside A's size.
• box_replace: write byte-array C into box A, starting at offset B. Fail if A does not exist, or the byte range is outside A's size.
• box_del: delete box named A if it exists. Return 1 if A existed, 0 otherwise
• box_len: X is the length of box A if A exists, else 0. Y is 1 if A exists, else 0.
• box_get: X is the contents of box A if A exists, else ''. Y is 1 if A exists, else 0.
• box_put: replaces the contents of box A with byte-array B. Fails if A exists and len(B) != len(box A). Creates A if it does not exist
