DESCRIPTION
This file contains experimental opcodes.

run make bootstrap-ops to regenerate all generated ops files.
More Experimental Ops
- trap() Break into debugger. Implementation notes:
- set_label(invar PMC, inconst LABEL) Sets the opcode_t* label value for the given PMC. This is basically only useful for PMCs such as Sub, Continuation, ExceptionHandler and derivatives
- get_label(out INT, invar PMC) Gets the opcode_t* label value from the given PMC. This is basically only useful for PMCs such as Sub, Continuation, ExceptionHandler and derivatives
- fetch(out PMC, in PMC, in PMC, in PMC) Fetches a value from $2, keyed by $3 into $1. If the resulting PMC is PMCNULL, uses the type in $4 to create and return a new PMC.
- fetch(out PMC, in PMC, in INT, in PMC)
- fetch(out PMC, in PMC, in STR, in PMC)
- vivify(out PMC, in PMC, in PMC, in PMC) Fetches a value from $2, keyed by $3 into $1. If the resulting PMC is PMCNULL, uses the type in $4 to create and return a new PMC.
- vivify(out PMC, in PMC, in INT, in PMC)
- vivify(out PMC, in PMC, in STR, in PMC)
- new(out PMC, in STR, in INT)
- new(out PMC, in PMC, in INT)
- root_new(out PMC, in PMC, in INT)
- x86/gcc ... works with gdb - ppc/gcc ... works with gdb, to proceed: gdb> p $pc = $pc + 4 - TODOFor other architectures, this is a
noop.
