hi folks, i want to write a compiler for a small prototype-based language that should target parrot. as a reminder: prototype-based means that i have objects, and objects are cloned from other objects, but i have no classes. objects consist of methods and variables that are only accessible to methods on the same object.
my question is: how should such code look on pir level? has anyone done
something like it before? my current solution is to have a namespace for
each object, with methods in it:
.namespace [ "Foo" ]
.sub _meth :method
print "in meth\n"
.end
.sub _other_meth :method
print "in other_meth\n"
.end
and to store the variables in some hash and access them via a C callback.
does not look right to me. so i am looking for suggestions or pointers
on how to implement such a language in PIR, any help welcome!
thanks robert
