ba8c99a123 Mirror IP and RSP regs in memory
This will allow the profiler to sample the current return stack and
instruction pointer.  It can't just use the ip and rsp globals
directly, as I had initially planned, since these cannot be sent
in between threads.

# Wipforth
Wipforth is a simple Forth implementation that runs in the WebAssembly
virtual machine. It does I/O via memory-mapped peripherals, which are
emulated in JavaScript.
Wipforth is a Forth implementation that runs in the WebAssembly
virtual machine. The system is bootstrapped from source on page load:
the only non-text file is the favicon :)
- For the Forth kernel, see [wipforth.wat](./wipforth.wat)
- For the JavaScript emulator, see [emu.js](./emu.js)
- For the Forth prelude, which is loaded at start-up, see
[prelude.f](./prelude.f)
I/O is done via memory-mapped peripherals, which are emulated in
JavaScript.
- For the Forth kernel, see [wipforth.ws](./wipforth.ws)
- For the emulator, see [emu.js](./emu.js)
- For the assembler, see [asm.js](./asm.js)
- For the prelude (Forth code loaded right after the kernel boots),
see [prelude.f](./prelude.f)
- For a description of the peripherals, see the
[Peripherals](#peripherals) section below.
## Building and Running Locally
You'll need:
- [WABT](https://github.com/WebAssembly/wabt) (not for long mwahaha)
- [Guile](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/) (or bring your own HTTP
server -- see note below)
To run, first compile the WebAssembly module:
```
wat2wasm --enable-threads wipforth.wat
```
Then run the development server:
There's a [Guile](https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/) script in the
repo you can use for this:

You should then be able to open <http://localhost:8080> in a browser
and use the system from there.
**NOTE**: The server is very simple and just serves the files with the
cross-origin isolation headers required for `SharedMemoryBuffer` use.
You could use any HTTP server that sets these headers.
However, since everything is bootstrapped on the client, basically any
HTTP server will do as long as it sets the appropriate response
headers for `SharedMemoryBuffer` use:
You should **definitely not** use the development server to serve the
application on the open internet; I just hacked it together for
testing on localhost during development and it's probably hilariously
insecure.
- `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin`
- `Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy: require-corp`
So, if you don't have Guile on your system you can use something else
like Python's `http.server`.
