<h1><a name="vdoc">Quake C Virtual Machine Documentation</a></h1>
<p>
Included with GMQCC is a minimal implementation of the QCVM used in many game
engines. It's primarly used for the testsuite, but you may also use it as a
standalone runtime, or even embed it with existing appliciations.
</p>
<h2>Running The Standalone VM</h2>
<p>
To run the standalone application you need to have a compiled progs.dat, with an
entry function named &nbsp;main&nbsp; The main function can have any amount of arguments
as the standalone executor allows main to be invoked with your choice of arguments.
An example of invoking the VM:
<pre>$ ./qcvm progs.dat -float 200 #execute passing in 200 as a float to main</pre>
If &nbsp;main&nbsp; doesn't require arguments:
<pre>$ ./qcvm progs.dat #call main with no arguments</pre>
The standalone executor supports the following arguments for passing arguments to &nbsp;main&nbsp
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td>Argument</td>
<td>What it does</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>-string</td>
<td>Passes in a string to main</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>-float</td>
<td>Passes in a float to main</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>-vector</td>
<td>Passes in a vector to main</td>
</tr>
</table>
The order in which the arguments are expected for main, must be preserved, for
example if &nbsp;main&nbsp;'s signature is the following:
<pre>void main(float a, vector b)</pre>
Then to pass the arguments you'd use the same order:
<pre>$ ./qcvm -float 200 -vector '1 2 3'</pre>
<h3>Additional Arguments</h3>
The standalone virtual machine has the following optional command line arguments:
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td>Argument</td>
<td>What it does</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>-trace</td>
<td>Trace the execution call hierarchy.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>-profile</td>
<td>Profile the bytecode to find hotspots.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>-info</td>
<td>Get info of the running bytecode.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>-disasm</td>
<td>Dissasemble the bytecode into assembly.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>-printdefs</td>
<td>Prints all definitions for the bytecode running.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>-printfields</td>
<td>Prints all fields for the bytecode running.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<h3>Builtins</h3>
The standalone virtual machine includes the following builtins.
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td>Builtin</td>
<td>Number</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>print</td><td>1</td></tr>
<tr><td>ftos</td><td>2</td></tr>
<tr><td>spawn</td><td>3</td></tr>
<tr><td>kill</td><td>4</td></tr>
<tr><td>vtos</td><td>5</td></tr>
<tr><td>error</td><td>6</td></tr>
<tr><td>vlen</td><td>7</td></tr>
<tr><td>etos</td><td>8</td></tr>
</table>
