slightly hacky, but in good tradition
previous implementation only worked until 16 significant bits, which is getting to little
this one just keeps adding more instructions to arrive at the constant by force
There are surely cleverer ways of doing this, ie by using the barrel shifter
A start on #15, admittedly a hack
also tried to keep the first around as was done in space
partially to not have to add the consrtants seperately
didn't work, as chain gets broken
also this has to be redone anyway
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
now a variable has to be created before being used
thus it is save to develop contracts where a certain name
must exist in the scope
Maybe the syntax starts getting a bit weird, but at least the ! is a common symbol in ruby
these types are only needed to debug and can be gotten from the method (also in the mesage)
just saving the 6 instructions for every call
This was made possible through previous commits on fake_memory access
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
unfortunately the writers have to have self.var =
otherwise it is just a local var
Also need to make the type explicit for all
Protocol included memory_length on the class for now
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
