module Virtual
  # the static info of a method (with its compiled code, argument names etc ) is part of the
  # runtime, ie found in Parfait::Method

  # the source we create here is injected into the method and used only at compile-time
  # receiver
  # return arg (usually mystery, but for coded ones can be more specific)

  #
  # Methods are one step up from to VM::Blocks. Where Blocks can be jumped to, Methods can be called.

  # Methods also have arguments and a return. These are typed by subclass instances of Value

  # They also have local variables.

  # Code-wise Methods are made up from a list of Blocks, in a similar way blocks are made up of
  # Instructions. The function starts with one block, and that has a start and end (return)

  # Blocks can be linked in two ways:
  # -linear:  flow continues from one to the next as they are sequential both logically and
  #           "physically" use the block set_next for this.
  #           This "straight line", there must be a continuous sequence from body to return
  #           Linear blocks may be created from an existing block with new_block
  # - branched: You create new blocks using function.new_block which gets added "after" return
  #            These (eg if/while) blocks may themselves have linear blocks ,but the last of these
  #            MUST have an uncoditional branch. And remember, all roads lead to return.

    # control structures need to see blocks as a graph, but they are stored as a list with implict
    # branches
    # So when creating a new block (with new_block), it is only added to the list, but instructions
    #   still go to the current one
    # With this function one can change the current block, to actually code it.
    # This juggling is (unfortunately) neccessary, as all compile functions just keep puring their
    # code into the method and don't care what other compiles (like if's) do.

    # Example: while, needs  2 extra blocks
    #          1 condition code, must be its own blockas we jump back to it
    #           -       the body, can actually be after the condition as we don't need to jump there
    #          2 after while block. Condition jumps here
    # After block 2, the function is linear again and the calling code does not need to know what
    #  happened

    # But subsequent statements are still using the original block (self) to add code to
    # So the while expression creates the extra blocks, adds them and the code and then "moves"
    # the insertion point along
    def current block
      @current = block
      self
    end

    # create a new linear block after the current insertion block.
    # Linear means there is no brach needed from that one to the new one.
    # Usually the new one just serves as jump address for a control statement
    # In code generation , the new_block is written after this one, ie zero runtime cost
    # This does _not_ change the insertion point, that has do be done with insert_at(block)
    def new_block new_name
      new_b = Block.new( new_name , @blocks.first.method )
      index = @blocks.index( @current )
      @blocks.insert( index + 1 , new_b ) # + one because we want the ne after the insert_at

    # sugar to create instructions easily.
    # any method will be passed on to the RegisterMachine and the result added to the insertion block
    #  With this trick we can write what looks like assembler,
    #  Example   func.instance_eval
    #                mov( r1 , r2 )
    #                add( r1 , r2 , 4)
    # end
    #           mov and add will be called on Machine and generate Instructions that are then added
    #             to the current block
    # also symbols are supported and wrapped as register usages (for bare metal programming)
