# An Object is really a hash like structure. It is dynamic and # you want to store values by name (instance variable names). # # One could (like mri), store the names in each object, but that is wasteful in both time and space. # Instead we store only the values, and access them by index. # The Type allows the mapping of names to index. # The Type of an object describes the memory layout of the object. In a c analogy, it is the # information defined in a struct. # The Type is a list of the names of instance variables, and their value types (int etc). # # Every object has a Type to describe it, so it's *first* instance variable is **always** # "type". This means the name "type" is the first name in the list # for every Type instance. # But, as we want every Object to have a class, the Type carries that class. # So the type of type has an entry "object_class" # But Objects must also be able to carry methods themselves (ruby calls singleton_methods) # and those too are stored in the Type (both type and class include behaviour) # The object is an List of values of length n # The Type is a list of n names and n types that describe the values stored in an actual object. # Together they turn the object into a hash like structure # For types to be a useful concept, they have to be unique and immutable. Any "change", like adding # a name/type pair, will result in a new instance. # The Type class carries a hash of types of the systems, which is used to ensure that # there is only one instance of every type. Hash and equality are defined on type # for this to work. module Parfait class Type < Object attr_reader :object_class , :names , :types , :methods def self.for_hash( object_class , hash) hash = {type: object_class.name }.merge(hash) unless hash[:type] new_type = Type.new( object_class , hash) Parfait.object_space.add_type(new_type) end def initialize( object_class , hash ) super() set_object_class( object_class) init_lists( hash ) end # this part of the init is seperate because at boot time we can not use normal new # new is overloaded to grab the type from space, and before boot, that is not set up def init_lists(hash) @methods = List.new @names = List.new @types = List.new raise "No type Type in #{hash}" unless hash[:type] private_add_instance_variable(:type , hash[:type]) #first hash.each do |name , type| private_add_instance_variable(name , type) unless name == :type end end def to_s "#{@object_class.name}-#{@names.inspect}" end def method_names names = List.new @methods.each do |method| names.push method.name end names end def create_method( method_name , arguments , frame) raise "create_method #{method_name}.#{method_name.class}" unless method_name.is_a?(Symbol) #puts "Self: #{self.class} clazz: #{clazz.name}" raise "frame must be a type, not:#{frame}" unless frame.is_a?(Type) found = get_method( method_name ) if found puts "redefining method #{method_name}" #TODO, this surely must get more complicated raise "attempt to redifine method for different type " unless self == found.for_type found.init(arguments , frame) return found else add_method TypedMethod.new( self , method_name , arguments , frame ) end end def add_method( method ) raise "not a method #{method.class} #{method.inspect}" unless method.is_a?
