After almost a year of rewrite:
|
|||
|
|
%strong Hello World
|
|||
|
|
is back.
|
|||
|
|
%p
|
|||
|
|
%strong Working executables again
|
|||
|
|
%p
|
|||
|
|
So much has changed in the last year it is almost impossible to recap.
|
|||
|
|
Still a little summary:
|
|||
|
|
%h3#register-machine Register Machine
|
|||
|
|
%p
|
|||
|
|
The whole layer of the
|
|||
|
|
%a{:href => "/2014/09/30/a-better-register-machine.html"} Register Machine
|
|||
|
|
as an
|
|||
|
|
abstraction was not there. Impossible is was to see what was happening.
|
|||
|
|
%h3#passes Passes
|
|||
|
|
%p
|
|||
|
|
In the beginning i was trying to
|
|||
|
|
= succeed "." do
|
|||
|
|
%em just do it
|
|||
|
|
%a{:href => "/2014/07/05/layers-vs-passes.html"} implemented Passes
|
|||
|
|
to go between them.
|
|||
|
|
%h3#the-virtual-machine-design The virtual machine design
|
|||
|
|
%p
|
|||
|
|
Thinking about what objects makes up a virtual machine has brought me to a clear understanding
|
|||
|
|
of the
|
|||
|
|
= succeed "." do
|
|||
|
|
%a{:href => "/2014/09/12/register-allocation-reviewed.html"} objects needed
|
|||
|
|
%a{:href => "/2014/06/27/an-exceptional-thought.html"} stopped using the machine stack
|
|||
|
|
altogether and am using a linked list instead.
|
|||
|
|
Recently is has occurred to me that that linked list
|
|||
|
|
%a{:href => "/06/20/the-static-call-chain.html"}> doesn’t even change
|
|||
|
|
, so it is very simple indeed.
|
|||
|
|
%h3#smaller-though-not-small-changes Smaller, though not small, changes
|
|||
|
|
%ul
|
|||
|
|
%li
|
|||
|
|
The
|
|||
|
|
%a{:href => "/2014/08/19/object-storage.html"} Salma Object File
|
|||
|
|
format was created.
|
|||
|
|
%li
|
|||
|
|
The
|
|||
|
|
%a{:href => "http://dancinglightning.gitbooks.io/the-object-machine/content/"} Book
|
|||
|
|
was started
|
|||
|
|
%li I gave lightning talks at Frozen Rails 2014, Helsinki and Bath Ruby 2015
|
|||
|
|
%li I presented at Munich and Zurich user groups, lots to take home from all that
|
|||
|
|
%h3#future Future
|
|||
|
|
%p
|
|||
|
|
The mountain is still oh so high, but at last there is hope again. The second dip into arm
|
|||
|
|
(gdb) debugging has made it very clear that a debugger is needed. Preferably visual, possibly 3d,
|
|||
|
|
definitely browser based. So either Opal or even Volt.
|
|||
|
|
%p Already more clarity in upcoming fields has arrived:
|
|||
|
|
%ul
|
|||
|
|
%li inlining is high on the list, to code in higher language
|
|||
|
|
%li
|
|||
|
|
the difference between
|
|||
|
|
%a{:href => "/2015/05/20/expression-is-slot.html"} statement and expression
|
|||
|
|
helped
|
|||
|
|
to structure code.
|
|||
|
|
%li hopefully the debugger / interpreter will help to write better tests too.
