Simple is really the descriptive name for the layer
Sure, it is "virtual" but that is not as important as the fact that it is simple (or simplified)
Also objct (based really) is better, since orientated implies it is a little like that, but only orientated, not really it. Sol only has objects, nothing else
Just cause i was renaming anyway
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)
the typed method has to be created in the to_pafait pass for it to work correctly, ie for the sends to have something to call
also means that when during compilation creating (raising?) a method, not only vool. but also callable has to be created
resolve had the wrong approach, sort of class based oo
It took methods from "derived" types and just used them
To be correct, those methods would have to be recompiled for the current type, rubyx is type, not class based.
Started on that, still soe strange hang though
Later, type and method analysis may reveal "compatible" types (down only off course) where one could use the exact same code, but that is phase 2
Instead of loading all preload for all tests, adding just those functions that are needed for each. Should reduce test times.
Also renaming tests to give some indication of difficulty. Alas they are not run in that order.
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
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
The parser presents the whole call that defines the block as a block. And so does the Ruby layer, as we don't want to do processing in ast.
Just making it clearer, also Vool:: block will have to be renamed
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.
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.
