# Helper to dynamically allocate memory on the heap.
#
# We'd like to be able to write tests for functions that allocate memory,
# making assertions on the precise addresses used. To achieve this we'll pass
# in an *allocation descriptor* to allocate from.
#
# Allocation descriptors are also useful outside of tests. Assembly and machine
# code are of necessity unsafe languages, and one of the most insidious kinds
# of bugs unsafe languages expose us to are dangling pointers to memory that
# has been freed and potentially even reused for something totally different.
# To reduce the odds of such "use after free" errors, SubX programs tend to not
# reclaim and reuse dynamically allocated memory. (Running out of memory is far
# easier to debug.) Long-running programs that want to reuse memory are mostly
# on their own to be careful. However, they do get one bit of help: they can
# carve out chunks of memory and then allocate from them manually using this
# very same 'allocate' helper. They just need a new allocation descriptor for
# their book-keeping.

== data

# Allocations are returned in a handle, which consists of an alloc-id and a payload.
# The alloc-id helps detect use-after-free errors.
Handle-size:  # (addr int)
  8/imm32

# A default allocation descriptor for programs to use.
Heap:  # allocation-descriptor
  # curr
  0/imm32
  # limit
  0/imm32

# a reasonable default
Heap-size:  # int
  0x600000/imm32/6MB

Next-alloc-id:  # int
  0x100/imm32  # save a few alloc ids for fake handles
