	1	# Overview #
	2
	3	This folder contains a library of useful functions written in VVhitespace.
	4	Standard include guards are used with `cpp` to include the stdlib in user
	5	programs. For an example, see `examples/hello-stdlib`. This also means
	6	`cpp` syntax must be respected.
	7
	8	# Reservations #
	9
	10	Since all labels share a global namespace, the standard library makes the
	11	following reservations:
	12
	13	## Label ##
	14
	15	00000000 0xxxxxxx - reserved for stdlib function entry points
	16	00000000 1xxxxxxx - available for use in user programs
	17	0xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx - reserved for private use by stdlib
	18	1xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx - available for use in user programs
	19
	20	## Heap and Pointers ##
	21
	22	The first 16 heap addresses (`0-15`) are reserved when using the stdlib.
	23	Within that reservation, heap[0] is used by `random` and the block
	24	heap[1]-heap[15] by the stack rotation subroutines which time-share
	25	pseudo-registers between the various stdlib subroutines.
	26
	27	By convention, functions which return a pointer will use the address `0` to
	28	represent a `NULL` pointer.
	29
	30	# Entry Points #
	31
	32	The following labels are entry points to stdlib functions. Read the
	33	header comment for each function to learn the call and return stack.

	82	## Private Label Space ##
	83
	84	By convention, each public stdlib label will have 8 bits of private label space
	85	associated with it, formed as follows:
	86
	87	00001000 xxxxxxxx - for use by 1000
	88	00001001 xxxxxxxx - for use by 1001
	89	...etc

	91	## Extending Heap Reservation ##
	92
	93	By default, the stdlib uses the first 16 heap addresses. All heap access (other
	94	than heap[0] as a seed) occurs through `stackrotate` and `stackrotatereverse`.
	95	Edit these functions to increase the stdlib's heap reservation.
	96
	97	The remainder of the stdlib is written to automatically use the new allocation.
	98	Functions like `printf`, for example, allow more substitutions when the heap
	99	allocation is increased.
