XarvoVM

XarvoVM is a virtual machine designed for executing code written in the Xarvo programming language. It provides an abstracted environment that allows Xarvo programs to run on various underlying hardware architectures without modification. The design of XarvoVM focuses on efficiency and a small memory footprint, making it suitable for embedded systems and resource-constrained environments.

The architecture of XarvoVM includes a set of registers for storing data and program state, a stack for function calls and local variables, and a program counter that indicates the next instruction to be executed. It supports a limited but effective instruction set, including operations for arithmetic, logic, memory access, and control flow.

Key features of XarvoVM include its bytecode interpreter, which translates Xarvo's intermediate representation into machine-executable instructions. This approach ensures portability across different operating systems and hardware. Memory management within XarvoVM is typically handled through a simple heap and stack, with mechanisms for garbage collection or manual deallocation depending on the specific implementation.

XarvoVM is often used in conjunction with the Xarvo compiler, which transforms source code written in Xarvo into the VM's bytecode. The development of XarvoVM is driven by the need for a secure and isolated execution environment for Xarvo applications, particularly in scenarios where code integrity and predictable behavior are paramount. Its lightweight nature also contributes to faster startup times for applications.
