The defs.h header will take care of including the various config.h headers. For now, it's just config.h, but we'll add more when we integrate gnulib in. This header should be used instead of config.h, and should be the first include in every .c file. We won't rely on the old behavior where we expected files to include the port's sim-main.h which then includes the common sim-basics.h which then includes config.h. We have a ton of code that includes things before sim-main.h, and it sometimes needs to be that way. Creating a dedicated header avoids the ordering mess and implicit inclusion that shows up otherwise. |

= OVERVIEW = The Synacor Challenge is a fun programming exercise with a number of puzzles built into it. You can find more details about it here: https://challenge.synacor.com/ The first puzzle is writing an interpreter for their custom ISA. This is a simulator for that custom CPU. The CPU is quite basic: it's 16-bit with only 8 registers and a limited set of instructions. This means the port will never grow new features. See README.arch-spec for more details. Implementing it here ends up being quite useful: it acts as a simple constrained "real world" example for people who want to implement a new simulator for their own architecture. We demonstrate all the basic fundamentals (registers, memory, branches, and tracing) that all ports should have.
