1# Overview #

3This folder contains a library of useful functions written in VVhitespace.
4Standard include guards are used with `cpp` to include the stdlib in user
5programs. For an example, see `examples/hello-stdlib`.

9Since all labels share a global namespace, the standard library makes the
10following reservations:

12## Label ##
13
14 00000000 0xxxxxxx - reserved for stdlib function entry points
15 00000000 1xxxxxxx - unassigned
16 0xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx - reserved for private use by stdlib
17 1xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx - available for use in user programs
18
19## Heap ##
20
21 The first 256 heap addresses are reserved when using the stdlib.

23# Entry Points #
24
25The following labels are entry points to stdlib functions. Read the
26header comment for each function to learn the call and return stack.

50By convention, each public stdlib label will have 8 bits of
51private label space associated with it, formed as follows:
52
53 00001000 xxxxxxxx - for use by 1000
54 00001001 xxxxxxxx - for use by 1001
