// Example: Opcode dispatch in a bytecode VM. Assume the opcode case dispatching is mispredict heavy,
// and that pc, ins, next_ins, next_opcase are always in registers.

#define a ((ins >> 8) & 0xFF)
#define b ((ins >> 16) & 0xFF)
#define c ((ins >> 24) & 0xFF)

// Version 1: Synchronous instruction fetch and opcode dispatch. The big bottleneck is that given how light
// the essential work is for each opcode case (e.g. something like ADD is typical), you're dominated
// by the cost of the opcode dispatch branch mispredicts. When there's a mispredict, the pipeline restarts

// Lookup Tables for Marching Cubes
//
// These tables differ from the original paper (Marching Cubes: A High Resolution 3D Surface Construction Algorithm)
//
// The co-ordinate system has the more convenient properties:
//
//    i = cube index [0, 7]
//    x = (i & 1) >> 0
//    y = (i & 2) >> 1
