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
Since some weeks, Parfait uses instance variables instead of generated attribute getters (that needed type)
This makes it possible to simplify the boot process, getting rid of separate boot Space and class versions.
It is still quite order dependent, but all "normal" ruby code, (less magic) so easier to understand.
Also moved all code that can never run at runtime into the adapter. This included Space and Object new, space as the space will only ever be created at compile time and object, since that is quite different at run-time (which is where i am working towards)
args and locals got inlined into message, forgot to delete then
ripples out due to type creation
small type class api change, more ripples, but also more consistent
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
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
currently space is still acting as a sort of memory manager.
For proper linking, all objects must be reachable from space, hence the plural versions like messages and addresses (even they are instances, it is the list that is important)
To dish out instance to use, the head must be kept, ie next_XXX for intergers, return addresses and messages
- all code must be in functions (which must be in classes).
— changes a fair few tests
— also changes api, as method is not recursive, not passed around
- all state in instance vars in compiler (no accessors)
- class is another such variable, surely more coming
all green again
