module Vool # Sending in a dynamic language is off course not as simple as just calling. # The function that needs to be called depends after all on the receiver, # and no guarantees can be made on what that is. # # It helps to know that usually (>99%) the class of the receiver does not change. # Our stategy then is to cache the functions and only dynamically determine it in # case of a miss (the 1%, and first invocation) # # As cache key we must use the type of the object (which is the first word of _every_ object) # as that is constant, and function implementations depend on the type (not class) class SendStatement < Statement attr_reader :name , :receiver , :arguments def initialize(name , receiver , arguments ) @name , @receiver , @arguments = name , receiver , arguments @arguments ||= [] end def normalize #TODO normalize arguments.
