Module bf::bytecode [−][src]
Brainfuck bytecode instead of an abstract syntax tree.
This is closer to
Previous passes represent the Brainfuck program as an abstract syntax
tree, with
child trees for loops. This pass transforms the program to a flat array of
Instructions, where loop operations take the
address to possibly jump to as a parameter. This representation includes
run-length encoding for some instructions, with moving and arithmetic
commands taking the count as a parameter. It also includes the
instructions produced by the peephole optimizer.
Flattening is not necessary for interpretation, but it might perform better because of the cache. So far, it appears to perform worse than the peephole-optimized AST.
