Um, 3 new opcodes?
get_lang_id(out INT, in STR)
Return an integer id $1 for the HLL named in $2.
For example:
.local int amber_id
amber_id = get_lang_id "Amber"
register_lang_type(in INT, in INT, in INT)
Register the type $3 as corresponding to the standard
Parrot type $2 when using the HLL whose id is in $1.
For example:
.local int amber_integer_type
amber_integer_type = find_type "Am_INTEGER"
register_lang_type amber_id, .Integer, amber_integer_type
get_lang_type(out INT, in INT)
Return the type $1 corresponding to the standard Parrot
type $S2 for the language currently set by the .HLL directive.
For example:
.local int lang_int_type
.local pmc p
lang_int_type = get_lang_type .Integer
p = new lang_int_type
