# LVTL-W: port of LVTL-R to Busybox/GNU AWK in under 130 SLOC # should also work in any other AWK version with bitwise operations # # Usage: [busybox] awk -f lvtl.awk [prog.vtl -] # (don't forget the - after the program or LVTL will exit upon preloading) # # Any program valid for LVTL-W will also run on LVTL-R and LVTL-O and, # if it doesn't use bitwise ops, on the original VTL-2 and VTL02 too # # Differences from the C version of LVTL-R (besides being much slower): # - lines are stored in an AWK array where line numbers are keys # - maximum line length is not enforced # - the variables and array areas are fully separated from line memory # - because of all this, & is always 0 and * is always 65535 # - extra whitespace before and after line numbers is accepted # - only LFs are printed instead of CRLFs # - strings are allowed in immediate statements # # Differences from the original VTL-2 for Altair: # - both LF and CRLF are accepted (but not saved into RAM) # - only LFs are printed instead of CRLFs # - maximum line length is not enforced # - all whitespace after the line number is fully ignored # - any whitespace within expressions is also insignificant # - parentheses are NOT auto-closed at the end of the statement # - input with ? is NOT evaluated and only numbers are accepted # - only 26 characters (A-Z) are valid generic variable names # - supports all standard VTL-2 binary operators: +, -, *, /, =, >, < # - also supports bitwise operators: & (and), ! (or), # (xor) # - jumps to itself (like 10 #=10) are prohibited and counted as nops # - no file I/O (only the option to preload VTL code from a file) # - self-modifying programs won't work correctly # # Created by Luxferre in 2023, released into public domain # Global arrays and vars: ORD, PROGLINES, VARS, SCRATCH, PROCCHARS # fatal error reporter function trapout(errmsg) {printf("Fatal error: %s\n", errmsg); exit(1)} # read a generic/system variable function getvar(varname, c) { res = 0 if(varname == "$") { # get a single character from stdin (cmd="c='';read -r -n 1 c;echo \"$c\"") | getline c close(cmd) res = ORD[substr(c,1,1)] } else if(varname == "?") { # get a number from stdin getline c # read the line res = and(int(c), 65535) # cast to 16-bit integer } else if(varname == "'") res = int(rand()*65536) # get a pseudorandom number else if(varname in VARS) res = VARS[varname] # regular or system variable return res } # set a generic/system variable function setvar(varname, value, qi) { if(varname == "$") printf("%c", and(int(value), 255)) # output a character else if(varname == "?") { # output a string or a number if(VARS["\""]) { # we print a string qi = index(value, "\"") # find the ending quote printf("%s", substr(value, 1, qi - 1)) # also print LF unless stated otherwise with ; modifier if(substr(value, qi+1, 1) != ";") printf("\n") VARS["\""] = 0 # reset the printing flag } else printf("%u", and(int(value), 65535)) # we print a number, no LF } else if(varname in VARS) { # regular or system variable value = and(int(value), 65535) # cast to 16-bit integer # if the var is #, cache the return address before writing if(varname == "#" && value > 0) VARS["!"] = VARS["#"] + 1 VARS[varname] = value # update the value } else trapout("invalid variable name!") } # strict LTR evaluator function evalexpr(expr, tkn, i, l, opex, acc, cop, oprnd, subs, res) { opex = 1 res = cop = acc = oprnd = 0 l = length(expr) # GAWK doesn't support multi-init in fors, busybox does for(i=1;i<=l;i++) { # token position is stored in i tkn = substr(expr, i, 1) # get a single character token if(tkn == ")") break # ditch the rest of expression if(tkn == " " || tkn == "\t") continue # skip all whitespace if(opex = 1 - opex) { # we expect an operator if(index("+-*/=<>&!#", tkn)) cop = tkn # save the valid operator else trapout(sprintf("unexpected binary operator at %u\n", VARS["#"])) } else { # we expect a value, a variable, a subscript or a subexpr if(tkn == "\"") { # quote immediately prints and returns VARS[tkn] = 1 return substr(expr, i+1) # return everything after the quote } # extract and evaluate a parens or subscript expression else if(tkn == ":" || tkn == "(") { subs = evalexpr(substr(expr, i+1)) # process everything after tkn # set the operand to array elem or eval result oprnd = (tkn == ":") ?
