C++ Instruction Set Executant

This code is a C++ class called instruction_set that defines a set of methods and member variables for executing instructions. The code is implemented as a part of an instruction execution (sample) system like a compiler where instructions are loaded, executed, and operands are manipulated based on the given type.

• The class instruction_set is defined with private member variables, including arrays stack, main_memory, p, r, and code, as well as scalar variables ip, flags, sp, and codesize.
• The public section of the class contains several method declarations, including jump, compare, input, output, move, logic_and, logic_not, logic_xor, logic_or and etc. These methods perform various operations on operands and modify the state of the instruction execution.

RV32IM Instruction Set Executant

This repository also contains an implementation of a simple RISC-V Instruction Set Executant class in C++. The processor executes instructions from the RV32IM instruction set architecture. The src/RV32IM_instruction_set.h includes functions for reading and writing control and status registers (CSRs), as well as executing various instructions such as arithmetic operations, memory operations, branches, jumps, and system instructions.

The main components of the code are:

• Declaration and initialization of registers: The code declares an array of 32 general-purpose registers and an unordered map for CSR registers.
• Instruction execution: The execute_instruction function takes an instruction as input and performs the necessary operations based on the opcode and other fields of the instruction. It supports instructions for arithmetic operations, load/store operations, branches, jumps, and system instructions.
• CSR operations: The code includes functions for reading and writing CSR registers. These functions handle different types of CSR instructions, such as CSRRW (read/write), CSRRS (read/set), CSRRC (read/clear), CSRRWI (read/write immediate), CSRRSI (read/set immediate), and CSRRCI (read/clear immediate).
• Immediate value generation: The code includes logic for generating immediate values for different instruction types (I, S, B, U, J). The immediate values are used for operand calculations in instructions.

Overall, this code provides a basic implementation of a RISC-V processor that can execute a subset of the RV32IM instruction set.
