# At the lowest level, SubX programs are a series of hex bytes, each
# (variable-length) instruction on one line.
#
# Later we'll make things nicer using macros. But you'll always be able to
# insert hex bytes out of instructions.
#
# As you can see, comments start with '#' and are ignored.

# Segment headers start with '==', specifying the hex address where they
# begin. There's usually one code segment and one data segment. We assume the
# code segment always comes first. Later when we emit ELF binaries we'll add
# directives for the operating system to ensure that the code segment can't be
# written to, and the data segment can't be executed as code.
== 0x1

# We don't show it here, but all lines can have metadata after a ':'.
# All words can have metadata after a '/'. No spaces allowed in word metadata, of course.
# Metadata doesn't directly form instructions, but some macros may look at it.
# Unrecognized metadata never causes errors, so you can also use it for
# documentation.

# Within the code segment, x86 instructions consist of the following parts (see cheatsheet.pdf):
#   opcode        ModR/M                    SIB                   displacement    immediate
#   instruction   mod, reg, Reg/Mem bits    scale, index, base
#   1-3 bytes     0/1 byte                  0/1 byte              0/1/2/4 bytes   0/1/2/4 bytes
    05            .                         .                     .               0a 0b 0c 0d  # add 0x0d0c0b0a to EAX
# (The single periods are just to help the eye track long gaps between
# columns, and are otherwise ignored.)

# This program, when run, causes the following events in the trace:
+load: 0x00000001 -> 05
+load: 0x00000002 -> 0a
+load: 0x00000003 -> 0b
+load: 0x00000004 -> 0c
+load: 0x00000005 -> 0d
