From memzero:

// Skip to the correct 4-byte routine below (and fallthrough from there)
IP = IP + ( ( N_byte_count ~ 3 ) *^ 2 )
[[ 3 bytes remain ]]
WBR zero P IP
:2 2
[[ 2 bytes remain ]]
WBR zero P IP
:2 1
[[ 1 bytes remain ]]
WBR zero P IP
:2 0
[[ 0 bytes remain ]]

I think it's a pretty interesting way to deal with this problem. Depending on how many bytes remain, add a value to the Instruction Pointer.

I had to adjust the #SlangLang compiler for this. It's an annoying side effect of the "reverse" stack, but I'd say it is worth it.

I created a syntax highlighting config for my programming language Slang, for GNOME 's GTKSourceView :D

This will make working on my videogame much more comfortable I think 😊

Introducing SubSky, a new 32-bit CPU #ISA and computing environment intending to be the most amount of power you can get from the least amount of computer.

It provides you with a virtual #CPU with 16 instructions (few but versatile!), and a novel low-level #programmingLanguage between C and #assembly called Slang.

The project supplies a small set of virtual peripherals and a minimal yet useful stdlib.

Check it out!
