general parser for k

i wrapped up an earley parser, “yaep”, into a k .so here: http://www.ivorykite.com/ear/ear.tgz

earley parsers are known for their tolerance of ambiguity (first match – like PEG) and of both left and right recursion. here’s the demo that ear.tgz includes:

64bit RPN compiler in q

Adapted from 64-bit reverse polish JIT compiler

The call to execute the compiled expression is unimplemented as my personal edition of kdb+ is 32bit and don’t want to write the 32bit to long mode and back again hack.

64-bit reverse polish JIT compiler

Here’s a 64-bit JIT compiler for the RPN calculator. Each expression entered in a REPL is compiled by cc() in-memory and then called with a single instruction in exe().

You can see 64-bit overflow:

call functions on the run – x86_64

It doesn’t take much to call an x86_64 function by its address and an array of arguments. The technique is useful for implementing interpreters or responding to remote procedure calls. Supports 4 args, but can be completed by adding rcx, r8, r9. Extend using XMM floating point registers.
