after some serious recursive thinking it now actually makes sense.
The key was to change the actual type of the class that the meta_class manages
For objects it's (still) ok just to change the instance_type, but since the class object exists and has type, when adding instance variables, that actual type has to change
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)
Parfait was depending on it, ie it created a dependency out of Parfait. But Parfiat needs to be self contained.
Moved 2 methods into parfait object, and resolved single call from text_writer to third.
resolve once and reuse
also use non checking version of get/set
as index per definition must be ok
This creates some speedup, but mostly avoids some weird hang in Thread::Queue.pop for many seconds
Before instance variables were used to store the actual data
While this worked it was a double mental loop and (more importantly) did not allow the same memory access
Ie, in the interpreter the types for args had to be set correctly
But they don't need to be until we walk the list, when we can get the types from the method.
In short, now the fake memory may be used as memory, by indexing into it
We now have to use attr reader/writers that map to the fake memory
And while this is possible, it means a lot more self. than i would like
Also the compiler whill have to undo those attr to instance acess at some point
