Macro Virtual Machine

The Macro Virtual Machine (MVM) is built on the Microsoft .NET architecture and depends on the data structures supported by the .NET 8 platform. The Macro Virtual Machine has a core library to support its operation. This manages memory allocation and access to third party libraries. The best way to understand the virtual machine is to use the Macro Language.

Environments

The virtual machine runs in a number of environments which is better described here.

Web

A web environment to allow access to an angular based set of controls to present questions and run the OneScript compiled code.

Command Line

A simple command line to allow access to the OneScript programming language or Macro language with no access to any field support for display. This would be used as a pure development environment.

Others

There is a plan to deliver an app version of the environment to offer the virtual machine and a survey taking experience to plug into any app.

Common Operations

Regardless of the environment the virtual machine has a common operative level. This is describe by the following steps:

Startup

When a virtual is started up it can be passed information from the external environment. This is achieved through a collection of variables.

Threads

When a virtual machine is started the main thread is responsible for processing the code. The virtual machine supports multi threaded coding including the synchronisation of code running.
