# Compiling is the conversion of the AST into 2 things:
|
|
# - code (ie sequences of Instructions inside Blocks) carried by CompiledMethods
|
|
# - an object graph containing all the Methods, their classes and Constants
|
|
#
|
|
# Some compile methods just add code, some may add structure (ie Blocks) while
|
|
# others instantiate Class and Method objects
|
|
#
|
|
# Everything in ruby is an expression, 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 which
|
|
# may be unknown Mystery value.
|
|
#
|
|
# The Compiler.compile uses a visitor patter to dispatch according to the class name of
|
|
# the expression. So a NameExpression is delegated to compile_name etc.
|
|
# This makes the dispatch extensible, ie Expressions may be added by external code,
|
|
# as long as matching compile methods are supplied too.
