Abstract

Vmgen automates many of the tasks of writing the virtual machine part of an interpreter, resulting in less coding, debugging and maintenance effort. This paper gives some quantitative data about the source code and generated code for a vmgen-based interpreter and gives some examples demonstrating the simplicity of using vmgen.
