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 vmgen for the complete documentation on vmgen.
