NAME

set.ops - Register Loading Ops

DESCRIPTION

These operations all set registers to various values.

clone(out STR, in STR): Make a clone of $2, and put it in $1. Doesn't affect what was in $1. Removes the constant flag on the copy, if there was one.
exchange(inout INT, inout INT)
exchange(inout NUM, inout NUM)
exchange(inout PMC, inout PMC)
exchange(inout STR, inout STR): Exchange the contents of registers $1 and $2
set(out INT, in INT)
set(out INT, in NUM)
set(out INT, invar PMC)
set(out INT, invar PMC)
set(out INT, in STR)
set(out NUM, in INT)
set(out NUM, in NUM)
set(out NUM, invar PMC)
set(out NUM, in STR)
set(invar PMC, in INT)
set(invar PMC, in NUM)
set(out PMC, invar PMC)
set(invar PMC, invar STR)
set(out STR, in INT)
set(out STR, in NUM)
set(out STR, invar PMC)
set(out STR, inconst STR)
set(out STR, invar STR)
set(out PMC, inconst PMC)
set(invar PMC, inconst STR): Set $1 to $2.

assign(invar PMC, in INT)
assign(invar PMC, in NUM): Assign a new value $2, to PMC $1. Same as the equivalent set opcodes.
assign(invar PMC, in STR)
assign(invar PMC, invar PMC): Assign a new value $2, to PMC $1 by copying the value.
assign(out STR, in STR): Assign a new value to a string by reusing the string header.
setref(invar PMC, invar PMC): Make $1 refer to $2 by calling set_pmc.
deref(out PMC, invar PMC): Not strictly an assignment operation: Put into $1 the PMC that the reference PMC $2 refers to.

setp_ind(in INT, invar PMC): Set the PMC in register $1 to $2. Please note, that the register allocator doesn't track the usage of the affected register - handle with care.
setn_ind(in INT, in NUM): Set the number in register $1 to $2. Please note, that the register allocator doesn't track the usage of the affected register - handle with care.
sets_ind(in INT, in STR): Set the string in register $1 to $2. Please note, that the register allocator doesn't track the usage of the affected register - handle with care.
seti_ind(in INT, in INT): Set the int in register $1 to $2. Please note, that the register allocator doesn't track the usage of the affected register - handle with care.

set(out INT, invar PMC, in KEY)
set(out NUM, invar PMC, in KEY)
set(out STR, invar PMC, in KEY)
set(out PMC, invar PMC, in KEY)
clone(out PMC, invar PMC): Makes a copy of the PMC in $2 and puts it in $1.
clone(out PMC, invar PMC, in PMC): Makes a copy of the PMC in $2 and puts it in $1, using the arguments in $3.

These operations effect entire sets of registers.

null(out STR)
null(out INT)
null(out PMC)
null(out NUM): Set register $1 to a null value, or zero for the numeric registers
cleari()
clearn()
clearp()
clears(): Clear all the registers of the type indicated in the name of the operation.; INTVAL ('i') and FLOATVAL ('n') registers clear to zero.; PMC ('p') and STRING ('s') registers clear to NULL.
