## TODO:
|
|
can we allow commas between arguments in xlist/mlist to make it more like conventional programming langauges?
|
|
make literal frame in the compiler not use object momory. ask VM to take the byte codes and create literal frame using object memory
|
|
-> hak->code.lit.arr must be composed of plain data. not using object memory
|
|
-> it must ask VM(locally via a function call, remotely via some communication) to create objects in the object memory
|
|
static class -> collect class info(variables information) in the compiler
|
|
dyna-class -> compiler doesn't know about classes in advance
|
|
for static cleases, super.var-name can be allowed.
|
|
for dyna-clases, the super prefix is now allowed for varibles. it's allowed for method calls only.
|
|
double-check symbol and dsymbol resolution in set, set-r, defun, defclass to decide how to make it more logical and reasonable
|
|
|
|
|
|
assignment syntax
|
|
(k := 20) -> (set k 20)
|

k := 20 -> (set k 20)

[a, b] := (multi-retvar-fun 10 20) -> (set-r a b (multi-retvar-fun 10 20))

implement module -> ::, ., or what notation?
|
|
implement namespace -> ::, ., or what notation?
|
|
review the . notation used for C-module loading... may have to change it
|
|
|
|
dynamic byte array is supported but we need yet to support byte-string(byte-array) constant
|
|
b"..." or B"..." for an byte string constant notation
|
|
u"..." or U"..." for an explicit unicode string constant notation?
|

-> change u to c???

isn't : for method call confliting with key value spearator in a dictionary?
|

default return value for some class methods.

:: method -> return what??
|

:* method -> return the new instance

normal method -> return the last evaluated value?

send the message aaa to the receiver but let it resolve the method in the superclass side.

send the message dump to the object pointed to by x with arguments 1, 2, 3.

## Something to look into..
|
|
|
|
normal function call
|
|
(f arg1 arg2 arg3)
|
|
(rcv f arg1 arg2)
|
|
|
|
## dynamic method invocation???
|
|
(X:(f) arg1 arg2)
|
|
as long as f returns a symbol, it can also invoke a method??
|
|
|
|
|
|
(defun getX() X) ; ->it must return an object
|
|
((getX)->show "hello")
|
|
|

X.Y

---------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
variadic arguments -> supported
|
|
|
|
multiple return variables -> supported
|
|
(defun ff(a b :: x y z)
|
|
(set x (+ a b))
|
|
(set y (+ x x))
|
|
(set z (+ 999 x))
|
|
)
|
|
(set-r v1 v2 v3 (ff 10 20))
|
|
(printf "%d %d %d\n" v1 v2 v3)
|
|
|
|
variadic multiple return variables -> not supported as of now
|
|
|
|
(defun ff(a b :: x y z ...) <--- can i support something like this???
|
|
(set x (+ a b))
|
|
(set y (+ x x))
|
|
(set z (+ 999 x))
|
|
)
|
|
(set-r v1 v2 v3 (ff 10 20))
|
|
(printf "%d %d %d\n" v1 v2 v3)
|
|
|
|
since va-get is used to get a variadic argument, can i create vr-put
|
|
to set a variadic return variable?
