RAM Emulator

A Rust-based library for emulating a Random Access Machine (RAM). This library provides parsing, interpretation, and execution of RAM assembly code, as well as support for mathematical operations, labels, jumps, and I/O operations.

Features

• Parsing of RAM assembly code
• Mathematical operations: ADD, SUB, MULT (MUL), DIV
• Labels and jumps: JMP (JUMP), JZ (JZERO), JGZ (JGTZ)
• Move operations: LOAD, STORE
• I/O operations: READ (INPUT), WRITE (OUTPUT)
• Error handling and reporting: ParseError, InterpretError

Installation and Usage

Add the library as a dependency to your Rust project by including the following in your Cargo.toml file:

ramemu = { git = "https://github.com/AVO-cado-team/ramemu.git", tag = "0.1.9"}

Examples

Here's an example of how to use the library to create a RAM program and run it:

use std::io::{stdin, stdout, BufReader};

use ramemu::{program::Program, ram::Ram};

fn main() {
  let source = r#"
      # Your RAM assembly code here 
      HALT
    "#;

  let program = Program::from_source(source).unwrap();
  let mut ram = Ram::new(
    program,
    Box::new(BufReader::new(stdin())),
    Box::new(stdout()),
  );

  match ram.run() {
    Ok(_) => println!("Program executed successfully"),
    Err(e) => println!("Error during execution: {:?}", e),
  }
}

Supported Syntax

The parser supports the following syntax:

• Comments: Start with #
• Labels: End with :
• Links: Types include explicit ({usize}), without link (={usize}), and double link (*{usize})

Limitations and Future Improvements

This library is a work in progress and may have limitations. Future improvements may include better error handling, performance optimizations, and additional features.
