# HoleyBytes ISA Specification
# Bytecode format
- All numbers are encoded little-endian
- There is 256 registers, they are represented by a byte
- Immediate values are 64 bit
### Instruction encoding
- Instruction parameters are packed (no alignment)
- [opcode, …parameters…]
### Instruction parameter types
- B = Byte
- D = Doubleword (64 bits)
- H = Halfword (16 bits)

| BBDH | 96 bits |
| BBD | 80 bits |
| BB | 16 bits |
| BD | 72 bits |
| D | 64 bits |
| N | 0 bits |

# Registers
- There is 255 registers + one zero register (with index 0)
- Reading from zero register yields zero
- Writing to zero register is a no-op
# Memory
- Addresses are 64 bit
- Memory implementation is arbitrary
- In case of accessing invalid address:
- Program shall trap (LoadAccessEx, StoreAccessEx) with parameter of accessed address
- Value of register when trapped is undefined
## Recommendations
- Leave address `0x0` as invalid
- If paging used:
- Leave first page invalid
- Pages should be at least 4 KiB
# Program execution
- The way of program execution is implementation defined
- The order of instruction is arbitrary, as long all observable
effects are applied in the program's order
# Program validation
- Invalid program should cause runtime error:
- The form of error is arbitrary. Can be a trap or an interpreter-specified error
- It shall not be handleable from within the program
- Executing invalid opcode should trap
- Program can be validaded either before execution or when executing
# Traps
Program should at least implement these traps:
- Environment call
- Invalid instruction exception
- Load address exception
- Store address exception
and executing environment should be able to get information about them,
like the opcode of invalid instruction or attempted address to load/store.
Details about these are left as an implementation detail.
# Assembly
HoleyBytes assembly format is not defined, this is just a weak description
of `hbasm` syntax.
- Opcode names correspond to specified opcode names, lowercase (`nop`)
- Parameters are separated by comma (`addi r0, r0, 1`)
- Instructions are separated by either line feed or semicolon
- Registers are represented by `r` followed by the number (`r10`)
- Labels are defined by label name followed with colon (`loop:`)
- Labels are references simply by their name (`print`)
- Immediates are entered plainly. Negative numbers supported.
