Introduction

Below is a description of all opcodes we current support in the Eiffel interpreter. We only display their name as defined in C/run-time/rt_interp.h. One has to use this file to avoid possible change in values of opcode which happens time to time since it is a closed format.

Byte code reader

In C/bench you have 2 tools to read the content of the melted file:

1. meltdump: which takes as argument the melted file and will generate 2 files: melted.txt and bytecode.eif
2. bytedump: uses bytecode.eif from the current working directory and generate bytecode.txt

The content of bytecode.txt is helpful to understand the code we generate and the documentation below makes it even clearer.

Byte codes

BC_START

Description

Entry point of a routine.

arguments

• routine_id: 32 bits
• body_id: 32 bits
• result type: 32 bits
• number of arguments: 16 bits
• number of locals: 16 bits
• type of each local
• flag for argument cloning: 8 bits (If it is set (aka different of BC_NO_CLONE_ARG), read the type of arguments which need cloning).
• routine name: null terminated CHARACTER_8 string
• dynamic type where feature is written in: 16 bits
• flag for rescue clause presence: 8 bits (If present, offset to the rescue clause: 32 bits).
