Sala is an acronym for Simple Assembly LAnguage. Its instructions are similar to those in LLVM. However, everything is considerably simplified. For instance, registers are all just genuine local (stack) variables. There are no types associated with variables or any data. Functions return values via the first parameter. Constant and data segment is initialized via regular code (inside the initializer routine). The code is not in SSA form. And more. See the header file program.hpp for details about the instruction set.

The library also comprises Interpreter class providing interpreted execution of a sala program. The Sanitizer class can be used to prevent crash of the entire Interpreter, if the execution would trigger a serious defect in the program.
