# The ReturnSequence models the return from a method.
|
||
|
|
#
|
||
|
|
# This involves the jump to the return address stored in the message, and
|
||
|
|
# the reinstantiation of the previous message.
|
||
|
|
#
|
||
|
|
# The machine (mom) only ever "knows" one message, the current message.
|
||
|
|
# Messages are a double linked list, calling involves going forward,
|
||
|
|
# returning means going back.
|
||
|
|
#
|
||
|
|
# The return value of the current message is transferred into the return value of the
|
||
|
|
# callers return value during the swap of messages, and just before the jump.
|
||
|
|
#
|
||
|
|
# The callers perspective of a call is the magical apperance of a return_value
|
||
|
|
# in it's message at the instruction after the call.
|
||
|
|
#
|
||
|
|
# The instruction is not parameterized as it translates to a constant
|
||
|
|
# set of lower level instructions.
