rubyx/lib/parfait/space.rb
Torsten Ruger f4a4ccb98e several larger changes came together, bit of cleaning too
- all code must be in functions (which must be in classes).
— changes a fair few tests
— also changes api, as method is not recursive, not passed around
- all state in instance vars in compiler (no accessors)
- class is another such variable, surely more coming
all green again

# A Space is a collection of pages. It stores objects, the data for the objects,
# not references. See Page for more detail.
# Pages are stored by the object size they represent in a hash.
# Space and Page work together in making *new* objects available.
# "New" is slightly misleading in that normal operation only ever
# recycles objects.
module Parfait
# The Space contains all objects for a program. In functional terms it is a program, but in oo
# it is a collection of objects, some of which are data, some classes, some functions
# The main entry is a function called (of all things) "main".
# This _must be supplied by the compled code (similar to c)
# There is a start and exit block that call main, which receives an List of strings
# While data ususally would live in a .data section, we may also "inline" it into the code
# in an oo system all data is represented as objects
