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 ||= [] @dynamic = nil end def collect(arr) @receiver.collect(arr) @arguments.each do |arg| arg.collect(arr) end super end # A Send breaks down to 2 steps: # - Setting up the next message, with receiver, arguments, and (importantly) return address # - a CachedCall , or a SimpleCall, depending on wether the receiver type can be determined # # FIXME: we now presume direct (assignable) values for the arguments and receiver. # in a not so distant future, temporary variables will have to be created # and complex statements hoisted to assign to them. pps: same as in conditions def to_mom( in_method ) if(@receiver.ct_type) simple_call(in_method) else cached_call(in_method) end end def message_setup(in_method) setup = [Mom::MessageSetup.new(in_method)] receiver = @receiver.slot_class.new([:message , :next_message , :receiver] , @receiver.to_mom(in_method)) arg_target = [:message , :next_message , :arguments] args = [] @arguments.each_with_index do |arg , index| args << arg.slot_class.new( arg_target + [index] , arg.to_mom(in_method)) end setup << Mom::ArgumentTransfer.new( receiver , args ) end def simple_call(in_method) type = @receiver.ct_type called_method = type.resolve_method(@name) raise "No method #{@name} for #{type}" unless called_method Mom::Statements.new( message_setup(in_method) << Mom::SimpleCall.new( called_method) ) end # this breaks cleanly into two parts: # - check the cached type and if neccessary update # - call the cached method def cached_call(in_method) Mom::Statements.new( cache_check(in_method) + call_cached_method(in_method) ) end # check that current type is the cached type # if not, change and find method for the type (simple_call to resolve_method) # conceptually easy in ruby, but we have to compile that "easy" ruby def cache_check(in_method) # if cached_type != current_type # cached_type = current_type # cached_method = current_type.resolve_method(method.name) if_true = Mom::Statements.new(build_type_cache_update) if_true.add_array build_method_cache_update(in_method) #@if_true.to_mom( in_method ) #find and assign [Mom::IfStatement.new( build_condition , if_true )] end # this may look like a simple_call, but the difference is that we don't know # the method until run-time.
