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.
opted to hack require to be getting on
need require for the test helper
and the files in lib/parfait
General require mechanism would still be ok, but require_ralative means implementing file source, which needs to be dragged around. I'll make an issue
Compiler now removes the module Parfait scope
and also the ::Parfait:: Scope in module names
Which means we can compile scoped code
and get unscoped code. for Parfait
Handy for tests too
I call it macro because it lets you insert basically arbitrary risc code into the ruby level. The way it works:
Reserve namespace X
map any X.some_call to a Mom instruction
by the name SomeCall
which must take the same args in constructor as given
And obviously produce whatever risc it wants
Hoping to rewrite builtin around this idea (with the existing Mom builtn instructions)
no debugging, just worked!
only about 10% slower, nice
also recording qemu-linux times, which are a lot faster(and double bonus, save the startup/syncing)
to make smaller binaries with larger integer heaps
also ran some benchmarks to see if it makes a difference
at least the binaries are smaller, calling also faster
Now we are using a statically linked list of messages. This will not work with procs, but that can be solved then.
Previous (wrong) thinking was that because of procs messages have to be allocated for every call. This was too slow, and not neccessary
Just like the args, locals are now inlined into the Message.
Message is off course bigger, but as they are created at compile time, that hardly matters
Some programs did get somewhat smaller, especially with both changes, but not super much
Super is a statement, a send really.
Not an expression (as maybe in c++)
The actual implementation will be a bit tricky, like raise, a bit of stack walking, but not impossible. Still, later
