starting to implement register allocation by first creating SA
Single Assignment means a register is only every assigned a value once. Hence for any operation involving another register, a new register is created.
We do this with a naming scheme for the registers in dot notation (as it would be in c) which means 2 registers with the same name, should have the same contents. This does not apply to temporaries, but that is another day.
Starting WIP now, and will create many red commits before merging when green.
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)
seems more appropriate, as it is the class for a single object
Also seems to be called that on the net (don't remember where the meta came from, but it's gone)
after some serious recursive thinking it now actually makes sense.
The key was to change the actual type of the class that the meta_class manages
For objects it's (still) ok just to change the instance_type, but since the class object exists and has type, when adding instance variables, that actual type has to change
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.
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.
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
Also pass the source into the compile method.
This way compiler can be reused for subsequent compile.
Does remove some double boots, but no major time save
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
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
