We should create some syntax to access the object in methods.
It used to be:
1)
self."bar"()
where "self" automagically expanded to P2.
The current offical way is this sequence
2)
.include "interpinfo.pasm" $P0 = interpinfo .INTERPINFO_CURRENT_OBJECT
$P0."bar"()
This two-liner looks a bit bulky compared to the old syntax.
I can imagine several ways to achieve the simplicity of 1) again, but this needs some effort in code generation inside imcc.
As an intermediate step, I'm thinking of something like:
3)
.GET_SELF($P0)
This macro expands to the above two-liner and is defined internally.
A final and optimal solution would expand "self" to either a (re)fetch into volatiles or non-volatiles, or depending on register allocation pressure and usage to a fetch once and reuse this register.
Better solutions welcome, leo
