.AP "EM CODE TABLES"
 | 
						|
The following table is used by the assembler for EM machine
 | 
						|
language.
 | 
						|
It specifies the opcodes used for each instruction and
 | 
						|
how arguments are mapped to machine language arguments.
 | 
						|
The table is presented in three columns,
 | 
						|
each line in each column contains three or four fields.
 | 
						|
Each line describes a range of interpreter opcodes by
 | 
						|
specifying for which instruction the range is used, the type of the
 | 
						|
opcodes (mini, shortie, etc..) and range for the instruction
 | 
						|
argument.
 | 
						|
.QQ
 | 
						|
The first field on each line gives the EM instruction mnemonic,
 | 
						|
the second field gives some flags.
 | 
						|
If the opcodes are minis or shorties the third field specifies
 | 
						|
how many minis/shorties are used.
 | 
						|
The last field gives the number of the (first) interpreter
 | 
						|
opcode.

.LP
 | 
						|
If the opcode type is 2,4 or 8 the resulting argument is used as
 | 
						|
opcode argument (least significant byte first).
 | 
						|
If the opcode type is mini, the argument is added
 | 
						|
to the first opcode \- if in range \- .
 | 
						|
If the argument is negative, the absolute value minus one is
 | 
						|
used in the algorithm above.
 | 
						|
.br
 | 
						|
For shorties with positive arguments the first opcode is used
 | 
						|
for arguments in the range 0..255, the second for the range
 | 
						|
256..511, etc..
 | 
						|
For shorties with negative arguments the first opcode is used
 | 
						|
for arguments in the range \-1..\-256, the second for the range
 | 
						|
\-257..\-512, etc..
 | 
						|
The byte following the opcode contains the least significant
 | 
						|
byte of the argument.
 | 
						|
First some examples of these specifications.
 | 
						|
.IP "aar mwPo 1 34"
 | 
						|
.br
 | 
						|
Indicates that opcode 34 is used as a mini for Positive
 | 
						|
instruction arguments only.
 | 
						|
The w and o indicate division and decrementing of the
 | 
						|
instruction argument.
 | 
						|
Because the resulting argument must be zero ( only opcode 34 may be used),
 | 
						|
this mini can only be used for instruction argument 2.
 | 
						|
Conclusion: opcode 34 is for "AAR 2".
 | 
						|
.IP "adp sP 1 41"
 | 
						|
.br
 | 
						|
Opcode 41 is used as shortie for ADP with arguments in the range
 | 
						|
0..255.
 | 
						|
.IP "bra sN 2 60"
 | 
						|
.br
 | 
						|
Opcode 60 is used as shortie for BRA with arguments \-1..\-256,
 | 
						|
61 is used for arguments \-257..\-512.
 | 
						|
.IP "zer e\- 145"

Escaped opcode 145 is used for ZER.

The interpreter opcode table:
 | 
						|
.DS
 | 
						|
.so itables
 | 
						|
.DE
 | 
						|
.PP
 | 
						|
The table above results in the following dispatch tables.
 | 
						|
Dispatch tables are used by interpreters to jump to the
 | 
						|
routines implementing the EM instructions, indexed by the next opcode.
 | 
						|
Each line of the dispatch tables gives the routine names
 | 
						|
of eight consecutive opcodes, preceded by the first opcode number
 | 
						|
on that line.
 | 
						|
Routine names consist of an EM mnemonic followed by a suffix.
 | 
						|
The suffices show the encoding used for each opcode.
 |
