hi,
Some suggestions for PDD15:
1.
reading PDD15, I noticed that some methods/ops are named using an
underscore to separate words, others don't, for instance:
* get_class (but also "getclass" is used in the examples)
* newclass
IMO, it'd be nice to be consistent, and stick to 1 style. (My personal
preference is to leave out the underscore)
2.
Another thing; operations such as find_method return a NULL PMC on
failure. It might be nice to have it configurable for the user so s/he
can choose whether an exception will be thrown, or a NULL PMC is
returned. (IIRC, this can already be done for some ops, it'd be nice to
set it for all ops that may return a NULL PMC).
(as a detail: in PIR this might be represented by a pragma, like:
".pragma exceptions 1")
3.
The syntactic sugar for the op:
callmethodsupercc "foo"
could well be: super."foo"()
but you I guess you have thought of that yourselves already :-)
4.
Likewise, syntactic sugar for:
callmethodnextcc "foo"
(assuming object "obj")
Could be: obj."foo".next() (or maybe: obj."foo"().next, so there's a
little bit more emphasis as it looks stranger)
