How do you port an OS from one language to a new one, pre-LLM?A. you reduce impedance mismatch, but making the new language using similar concepts and mechanisms--You're right, this table is just a coincidence, probably derived from the standard math notation, and used in many PLs like FORTRAN and Python ;) PDP-11 C INC R ++i DEC R --i ADD src, dst dst += src SUB src, dst dst -= src (R)+ *p++ -(R) *--p X(R) p[x] @(R)+ **pp++ @X(R) *p[x] BR label goto label ; near jump JMP label goto label ; far jump parent nivertech 1 month ago
