Similar to Lua and Javascript, it includes a register-based virtual machine.

Run make to generate liba2.a library a2 executable program. you can write bound program by youself. or use test_a2 program interpreted scripts file at ./test/test_a2.
I wrote a simple command line program to explain A2 script. check detail at ./src/a2.c
I've compared to a lot of languages, such as lua, python, perl, php, ruby.
test on 5000 data will be insertion sorted. the test case is :
A2 file at ./test/vm.a2
perl file at ./test/tp.pl
python file at ./test/tpy.py
php file at ./test/th.php
lua file at ./test/t.lua and ./test/tlua.c
ruby file at ./test/tr.rb
my machine configuration:
cpu: 2.4GHz Intel Core 2Duo
OS: mac osX
gcc version 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.11.00)
A2 1.7143 s
lua 2.6443 s
perl 9.7350 s
python 8.5539 s
php 4.8107 s
ruby 15 s
JIT use dynasm implementation. a2_jitx64.desc is source code.
the jit Performance testing
A2(not jit) 1.7143s
A2(with jit) 0.4560s
performance improvement of 73%, is 3.7 times that of not jit.
you can open #define A2_JIT at a2_conf.h, jit currently only supports x64 posix.
