as they are just the type of the meta_class, that was relatively simple.
I feel this is what oo is meant to be, instance variables and methods for the objects, and since classes are objects, for them too.
Class variables seem like a design mistake, weird scoping rules and no data hiding (left as an exercise to the reader)
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)
When the lambda is passed as argument, it must be moved. This triggers the generation of a corresponding parfait object (as before, and as for other constants) but now also triggers the code build. The code being the constant as it were
Also some more name fixes from renames
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.
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.
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)
methods used to gobble up any locals of included scope. fixed
Blocks now create frame_type correctly and don't include and locals that are in fact method scope
