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)
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
so we can get rid of brittle risc folder tests
All of those tests rely on many many implementation details
should just test result through interpreter, no chain.
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.
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)
