SMALL-based abstract machine (AMX) bytecode interpreter
Embryo is primarily a shared library that gives you an API to load
and control interpreted programs compiled into an abstract machine
bytecode that it understands. This abstract (or virtual) machine is
similar to a real machine with a CPU, but it is emulated in
software. The architecture is simple and is the same as the
abstract machine (AMX) in the SMALL language as it is based on
exactly the same code. Embryo has modified the code for the AMX
extensively and has made it smaller and more portable. It is VERY
small. The total size of the virtual machine code AND header files
is less than 2500 lines of code. It includes the floating point
library support by default as well. This makes it one of the
smallest interpreters around, and thus makes is very efficient to
use in code.
