Simple is really the descriptive name for the layer
Sure, it is "virtual" but that is not as important as the fact that it is simple (or simplified)
Also objct (based really) is better, since orientated implies it is a little like that, but only orientated, not really it. Sol only has objects, nothing else
Just cause i was renaming anyway
Just for future, as this gives us a way to know immediately in the type, which represent normal, and which singleton classes
Also instantiate singleton class lazily (with singleton type)
This makes the type of class single, ie unique, immediately when it is used, ie methods or variables defined.
Fixes a design mistake, where all singletonn classes shared the same type, and thus unique methods per class were impossible
(Also some misc in commit)
seems more appropriate, as it is the class for a single object
Also seems to be called that on the net (don't remember where the meta came from, but it's gone)
Since some weeks, Parfait uses instance variables instead of generated attribute getters (that needed type)
This makes it possible to simplify the boot process, getting rid of separate boot Space and class versions.
It is still quite order dependent, but all "normal" ruby code, (less magic) so easier to understand.
Also moved all code that can never run at runtime into the adapter. This included Space and Object new, space as the space will only ever be created at compile time and object, since that is quite different at run-time (which is where i am working towards)
as they are just the type of the meta_class, that was relatively simple.
I feel this is what oo is meant to be, instance variables and methods for the objects, and since classes are objects, for them too.
Class variables seem like a design mistake, weird scoping rules and no data hiding (left as an exercise to the reader)
args and locals got inlined into message, forgot to delete then
ripples out due to type creation
small type class api change, more ripples, but also more consistent
page was maybe a too low level name
pages may be the unit of the syscall, but after that objects desolve (maybe later to be added on from different pages)
Factory has the job of handing out a new instance of a type
it keeps a freelist for that and a reserve
currently space is still acting as a sort of memory manager.
For proper linking, all objects must be reachable from space, hence the plural versions like messages and addresses (even they are instances, it is the list that is important)
To dish out instance to use, the head must be kept, ie next_XXX for intergers, return addresses and messages
