Object is the first (obviously) Parfait object to parse and fully compile to binary.
No tests yet, but almost 500 lines of real world code with 17 methods, not bad
previous commit affected rather many test, as the implicit returns add extra instructions
Also added some explicit returns, so as not to test the return logic too much. return (ie return nl) is a knonwn 3 risc operation.
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.
Same same, just have to remembe to actually execute the condition if it is a send
Having send a possible expression, removes one tmp variable and associated move, for a little extra work.
Next return and assign (rest)
Before, when the type was determined, it was assumed that the method can be resolved. But off course tis is not true, as methods may be defined later in the file.
Two solutions for that. One could (and should) define all methods and only then start to compile. Thus having the type safety.
Or (as now) make a dynamic call and let it fail at runtime.
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)
start at Object get_interna_word
using the pattern to replace the whole risc method with a single mom instruction. Copying the original risc code into the instrucitons to_risc
also adding some very basic tests
With #26 out of the way, was able to get meaningful rubyx benchmarks. Meaning loops large enough for the exec time to go significantly over the noop.
Did mruby too and as expected got much lower noop
