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)
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.
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
as it was before blocks
(thought blocks would make reuse of messages impossible, but was wrong, this only appilies to lambdas)
(too) many tests affected
for testing of binaries later (and off course general correctness)
Some tests were using the fact that the interpreter was used, changed those to return ints rather than strings
or rather right (2 as should be and will be)
but currently we use next AND value + type means 3, rounded 4
because we can’t swap types at compile time (as is planned at runtime,
we use next OR value)
