NAME¶
vmgen - a tool for writing fast and efficient interpreters
SYNOPSIS¶
vmgen INPUTFILE
DESCRIPTION¶
Vmgen is a tool for writing efficient interpreters. It takes a simple
virtual machine description and generates efficient C code for dealing with
the virtual machine code in various ways (in particular, executing it). The
run-time efficiency of the resulting interpreters is usually within a factor
of 10 of machine code produced by an optimizing compiler.
The main documentation for vmgen is in info format. Please use
