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)
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
so many relied (implicitly( on some builtin function
after all can't do much in ruby without calling
Now all those dependencies are explicit
Small risc changes come because the macro version has a return label and unreachable label
After having over 600 failing tests at one point, this does feel good.
Even better, most of the risc/interpreter tests where i didn't change anything came gree without changing the tests. ie we have binary compatibility.
Since Builtin generates risc, just like mom instructions, it was a design mistake to put builtin into risc in the first place. Now that borders are coming more into focus, it make much more sense to have the builtin in mom.
In fact the instructions should be moved out and a seperate invocation mechanism used , so functions can be parsed, not generated (wip)
Wherever space was loaded to get to the next_message
we now load the Message factory.
Otherwise much the same, only the attribute is next_object, not next_message
The binary is growing with 1k objects per factory, so i had to fix (hack) arm to handle bigger constants
close#14
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
create (load/reduce) the int once and transfer.
Save a cruicial 2 instructions
Also expanded the variable name possibilities with _self, __const , _1 and _2
