NAME
vmgen - a tool for writing fast and efficient interpreters
SYNOPSIS
vmgen INPUTFILE
DESCRIPTION
Vmgen is a tool for writing efficient interpreters. It takes a simple
virtual machine description and generates efficient C code for dealing
with the virtual machine code in various ways (in particular, executing
it). The run-time efficiency of the resulting interpreters is usually
within a factor of 10 of machine code produced by an optimizing
compiler.
The main documentation for vmgen is in info format. Please use info
