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
was using exit, since raise is not implemented. This was ambiguous as all programs exit.
Using :died as special kernel code and bending it, and reporting it in interpreter.
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
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
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)
where the pc, like in cpu’s is the memory position.
That is what the interpreter works on.
But for humans, the clock is a simpler way to count where the program
is at, no. of instructions executed
