# Transering the arguments from the current frame into the next frame
|
|
#
|
|
# This could be _done_ at this level, and in fact used to be.
|
|
# The instruction was introduced to
|
|
# 1. make optimisations easier
|
|
# 2. localise the inevitable change
|
|
#
|
|
# 1. The optimal risc implementation for this loads old and new frames into registers
|
|
# and does a whole bunch of transfers
|
|
# But if we do individual SlotMoves here, each one has to load the frames,
|
|
# thus making advanced analysis/optimisation neccessary to achieve the same effect.
|
|
#
|
|
# 2. Closures will have to have access to variables after the frame goes out of scope
|
|
# and in fact be able to change the parents variables. The current design does not allow
|
|
# for this, and so will have to be change in the not so distant future.
