# constants are the stuff that you embedd in the program as numbers or strings.
# Another way to think about them is as Operands, they have no seperate "identity"
# and usually end up embedded in the instructions. ie your basic foo + 4 will encode
# the 4 in the instruction opcode. The 4 is not accessible anywhere else.
# When it should be usable in other forms, the constant must become a Value first
class Constant < Code
end
class IntegerConstant < Constant
def initialize int
@integer = int
end
attr_reader :integer
end
# The name really says it all.
# The only interesting thing is storage.
# Currently string are stored "inline" , ie in the code segment.
# Mainly because that works an i aint no elf expert.

# currently aligned to 4 (ie padded with 0) and off course 0 at the end
