module Soml # Compiling is the conversion of the AST into 2 things: # - code (ie sequences of Instructions inside Methods) # - an object graph containing all the Methods, their classes and Constants # # Some compile methods just add code, some may add Instructions while # others instantiate Class and Method objects # # Everything in ruby is an statement, ie returns a value. So the effect of every compile # is that a value is put into the ReturnSlot of the current Message. # The compile method (so every compile method) returns the value that it deposits. # # The process uses a visitor pattern (from AST::Processor) to dispatch according to the # type the statement. So a s(:if xx) will become an on_if(node) call. # This makes the dispatch extensible, ie Expressions may be added by external code, # as long as matching compile methods are supplied too. # # A compiler can also be used to generate code for a method without AST nodes. In the same way # compile methods do, ie adding Instructions etc. In this way code may be generated that # has no code equivalent. # # The Compiler also keeps a list of used registers, from which one may take to use and return to # when done. The list may be reset. # # The Compiler also carries method and class instance variables. The method is where code is # added to (with add_code). To be more precise, the @current instruction is where code is added # to, and that may be changed with set_current # All Statements reset the registers and return nil. # Expressions use registers and return the register where their value is stored. # Helper function to create a new compiler and compie the statement(s) def self.compile statement compiler = Compiler.new compiler.process statement end class Compiler < AST::Processor def initialize( method = nil ) @regs = [] return unless method @method = method @clazz = method.for_class @current = method.instructions end attr_reader :clazz , :method def handler_missing node raise "No handler on_#{node.type}(node)" end # create the method, do some checks and set it as the current method to be added to # class_name and method_name are pretty clear, args are given as a ruby array def create_method( class_name , method_name , args) raise "create_method #{class_name}.#{class_name.class}" unless class_name.is_a?
