The Structure of I-Code

From CoCopedia - The Tandy/Radio Shack Color Computer Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The 'I' in I-Code stands for Intermediate. Intermediate code is code that is a step between interpreted source statements and fully compiled machine code. Typically, intermediate code uses tokens to represent the instructions to be executed. Basic09 I-Code goes a step further by re-arranging the source code instructions in post-fix notation (also known as Reverse Polish Notation) order.

The tokens used by Basic09 are a single byte ranging from $00 to $FF. See I-Code Token List
