Instruction Sets

Mnemonic Opcode
(in hex)
Other operands Stack
[before]→[after]
Description
push - value [empty] → value Pushes a value in stack
pushv - var [empty] → value Evaluates the var and pushes its value in stack
pusht - var [empty] → <value> Evaluates the var and pushes its value as a tag in stack
pushbl - N/A [empty] → blank pushes a blank in the stack
pushsb - pos [empty] → superblank pushes the superblank at 'pos' in stack
pushz - N/A [empty] → [zero_flag] pushes the current value of zero_flag in stack
pushnz - N/A [empty] → [not_zero_flag] first takes the NOT of the current value of zero_flag, then pushes the value in stack
cliptl - N/A pos, regex → value Matches 'regex' in target language 'pos' and pushes the value in stack
clipsl - N/A pos, regex → value Matches 'regex' in source language 'pos' and pushes the value in stack
storetl - N/A pos, regex, data → value Replace 'regex' in source language 'pos' with 'data'
addtrie - address pattern, pattern, ..., no_of_patterns → [empty] Pops 'no_of_pattern' amount of data from the stack, combine these patterns, add that to the trie pointing to given 'address'
lu - num lemma, tag1, ..., tagn → ^(lexical_unit)$ Pops 'num' amount of data from the stack and creates a lexical unit ^... ...$ with them, pushes the lu back in the stack
brace - num lu1, blank1, lu2, blank2, ..., lun → {... ...} Pops 'num' amount of data from the stack and creates the braced version {... ... ...}, pushes it back in the stack
chunkfw - num chunk_name, tag1, tag2, ... , {^... ...$} → ^chunk_name<tag1>...<tagn>{^... ...$}$ Pops 'num' amount of data from the stack and creates the chunk, pushes back in the stack, corresponds to case='caseFirstWord'
chunkow - num chunk_name, tag1, tag2, ... , {^... ...$} → ^chunk_name<tag1>...<tagn>{^... ...$}$ Pops 'num' amount of data from the stack and creates the chunk, pushes back in the stack, corresponds to case='caseOtherWord'
chunkvc - num chunk_name, tag1, tag2, ... , {^... ...$} → ^chunk_name<tag1>...<tagn>{^... ...$}$ Pops 'num' amount of data from the stack and creates the chunk, pushes back in the stack, corresponds to case='variableCase'
out - num chunk1, chunk2, ... → [empty] Pops 'num' amount of data from the stack and puts then in standard output
cmpi - N/A data1, data2 → [empty] Pops data1 and data2, string compares them (ignorecase), if matches (successful), set zero flag to 1 (it means we have a zero)
cmp - N/A data1, data2 → [empty] Pops data1 and data2, string compares them (case sensitive), if matches (successful), set zero flag to 1
match - N/A string, regex → [empty] Pops 'string' and 'regex', matches the string against the regex, if matches (successful), set ZF = 1
jmp - label [empty] → [empty] Jumps to the label (unconditional jump)
jz - label [empty] → [empty] Jumps to the label if zero flag is 1
jnz - label [empty] → [empty] Jumps to the label if zero flag is 0
hlt - N/A Halts the program
call - label arg(n),..., arg2, arg1, npar → [empty] call a macro (subroutine), see example 6 for details
ret - N/A PC → [empty] Returns from a macro, PC will be placed in stack by call statement, so no need to manually push PC
nop - N/A No operation

Development Notes

  • None of the macro and actions need to return anything (unlike conventional functions), so provision for returning a value (using stack) is unnecessary
  • The local variable frame is actually a queue with a maximum length equal to the maximum pattern length in the trie.
