NAME

       vmgen - a tool for writing fast and efficient interpreters

SYNOPSIS

       vmgen INPUTFILE

DESCRIPTION

       Vmgen  is  a  tool for writing efficient interpreters.  It takes a simple virtual machine description and
       generates efficient C code for dealing with the virtual machine code  in  various  ways  (in  particular,
       executing it).  The run-time efficiency of the resulting interpreters is usually within a factor of 10 of
       machine code produced by an optimizing compiler.

       The main documentation for vmgen is in info format.  Please use info vmgen for the complete documentation
