A brookshear virtual machine with support for step-by-step emulation, compilation, and decompilation.

Features

Run assembly code or binary bytecode
Various verbosity levels allow detail-rich, step-by-step debugging
Compile assembly instructions to bytecode in a binary file
Decompile bytecode from a binary file to assembly instructions
Extra instruction (opcode 0xD) for relative (offset) branch

Examples

Help

For general help run with argument -h or --help
For help on the extra instructions run the command extendedHelp

Relative branch if equal

Examples:

Bytecode | Instruction  | Comment
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
D104     | jmpeq +4, r1 | ; branch forward by 4 bytes (2 instructions)
D312     | jmpeq -2, r3 | ; branch backward by 2 bytes (1 instruction)

It accepts a single nibble as offset, and can be either positive (+4) or negative (-2). When compiling, the instruction is encoded as follows:

D - opcode                  D
R - destination register  [0-F]
O - branch direction      [0-1] : 0 for +/forward, 1 for -/backward
X - offset                [0-F]
