LSO

SecondLife has two LSL compiles, one which compiles into LSO bytecode and is executed by the simulator in the LSO VM, the other which compiles to IL and is executed by the simulator in the Mono VM. This article is about the LSO bytecode.

LSO is mostly a stack-based language with a reference-counted heap and a very odd function calling convention in which the caller allocates storage for the callee's local variables. All the gory details can be found at http://lib.openmetaverse.co/wiki/LSO, including some opcodes that are implemented in the interpreter but never outputted by the compiler (such as the handy DUP family of instructions for Forth-style programming, and PUSHIP/POPIP for implementing custom function calls/function pointers, jumptable-based switch statements and the like).

It's actually a reasonably powerful instruction set in some ways, but the compiler doesn't make use of it very well.

With the release of the Mono VM, LSO has been maintained for backwards compatibility.
