[Oopic-compiler-devel] Emulator

[Neil D. <nd...@us...>]

Following a bit of abortive discussion on the OOPic mailing list about an
OOPic emulator, it strikes me that actually it wouldn't be so hard to do.
We have the spec of the byte code, and it's a relatively simple stack-based
machine.  I guess the hard part would be modelling the VCs, but again, not
all that difficult.

Btw, regarding the OOPic compiler, I'm half way through writing a
preprocessor for it, in Python, and it's fitting together nicely.  I'm
going to get some time over Christmas to work on it, so I should have
something usable to upload by the New Year.  I chose to start on a
preprocessor because (a) it would be useful, and (b) it's a gentle
introduction to Python for me, before embarking on the compiler fully.

Have a good Christmas, guys!

Neil
