Description:
The following PIR code causes parrot to dump core:
.sub _main
find_lex $P1,n
print $P1
print \n
end
.end
Failing routine:
Under GDB it says:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x080a4323 in scratchpad_find (interp=0x817f2f8, pad=0x0, name=0x40408b5c,
position=0xbfffd850) at sub.c:180
180 for (i = pad-cache.int_val - 1; i = 0; i--) {
Reason:
Variable pad is NULL!
Additional comments:
Trying to find a lexical when no pad is established is stupid. However,
I don't guess dumping core is the appropriate thing to do, returning
NULL from scratchpad_find probably is.
Patch:
I don't know if this is the appropriate patch, but still

I don't think it's worth adding extra overhead to lexical variables just to
support broken pasm. There are many ways to crash parrot with bad code - but
it's OK, since compilers of higher level languages simply won't generate
them. :)

Dan, problem, surely? Unless/until we work around things we want being
absent. In this case it's more getting the Configure infrastructure in
place
to probe for the missing functions
Secondly, these routines assume that INTVAL is an int (not a long, nor
heresy), and that FLOATVAL is a double. I believe we can't make that
assumption:
inline op abs( inout INT) {
$1 = abs( $1 );
goto NEXT();
}
inline op abs(inout NUM) {
$1 = fabs( $1 );
goto NEXT();
}
inline op abs(out INT, in INT) {
$1 = abs( $2 );
goto NEXT();
}
inline op abs(out INT, in NUM) {
$1 = (INTVAL)fabs($2);
goto NEXT();
}
inline op abs(out NUM, in INT) {
$1 = (FLOATVAL)abs($2);
goto NEXT();
}
inline op abs(out NUM, in NUM) {
$1 = fabs( $2 );
goto NEXT();
}
We'd need more complex code to conditionally use fabs, fabsf, fabsl
(or work around absence of fabsf and fabsl), and abs, labs, llabs
(and work around the last one being missing)
We could make the call that we're not going to work around missing long
double functions - if you ain't got 'em, we refuse to Configure for that
size.
Given that if you don't have fabsl, you probably don't have more tricky
functions such as sqrtl, modfl or atan2l

We could always use the old standby:
inline op abs(inout INT)
if($1 0) $1 = -$1;
goto NEXT();
}

Dan,
Below are some questions about this ...
And now some answers. :)
-Original Message-
From: Dan Sugalski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
[snip]
Objects, as far as I see it, have the following properties:
1) They have runtime-assignable properties
Terminology question: what is the difference between a property and an
attribute? Perhaps the answer could go in the glossary.
A property is a runtime assignable name/value pair that you stick on
a variable or value. An attribute is a named variable that all
objects of a particular class have.
Properties can come and go at runtime, but attributes are fixed. (I
think you could also consider attributes instance variables, but
I'm a bit OO fuzzy so I'm not sure that's entirely right)
#3 Since each class has a PMC type, we just need to associate the PMC
type with the data a class needs. Also pretty much no big deal, and
something we already have facilities for.
So, while there may be exceptions, generally all classes will be instances
of the Class PMC, true?
Generally, yes.
The call/jmpmeth opcodes either make a returnable or non-returnable
method call. They fetch the function pointer from the object PMC and
either dispatch to it or save the current state and jsr to it. Note
that you can't jmpmeth into a C-implemented method, so no tail
calling into those without some wrapper opcodes. The registers still
need to be set up appropriately, just like with a regular sub call.
So the call opcode takes a method name or offset and calls a vtable method
to find the method and then invokes it?
Yep.
The find_method vtable entry should die, and be replaced with a plain
method entry. This should return either the address of the start of
the method's bytecode, or NULL. The NULL return is for those cases
where the method actually executed via native code, and thus doesn't
have to go anywhere. If an address is returned it's expected that the
engine will immediately dispatch to that spot, obeying parrot's
calling conventions.
Not sure what this means, does it mean that there is a method named
find_method accessed something like
call Px, Py, find_method
which I can then call to find the method or am I off?
You're off. It'll be something like:
callmethod Px, method_name
or
jmpmethod Px, method_name
The structures:
*) Attr PMCs have an array off their data pointer.
*) Classes are variants of Attr PMCs. They have the following
guaranteed attributes in slots:
0) Hash with class name to attribute offset
I am not sure what this means, Don't we already have the class and it's
attributes if we are accessing these slots?
Well...
The problem is finding which slot to access, a problem that's
compounded by multiple inheritance.
Let's say, for example, that you have a class A, which inherits from
B and C. Let's also say that each class has 10 attributes, and you
have a fixed-width mail reading font. The inheritance diagram then
looks like:
C B
\ /
|
A
Since the attributes are an array, it looks like:
CCBBAA
012345678901234567890123456789
We make a method call and it gets resolved to be one we inherited
from B. Now, how does B know which slots in the object holds its
attributes? In a single-inheritance case, it could assume that since
it has no parents it can start at slot 0, but that doesn't work
here--C is first. So what B needs to do is query the object to find
out where the attributes for class B start in the attribute array,
and to do that it looks in the hash stored in the object's class
attributes that maps class names to starting offsets. From there B
can figure out what slot to look in, since class attributes are
contiguous, and thus there only needs to be a single lookup.
Single inheritance makes all this resolvable at compile time, which
would be so much nicer. Alas, no joy for us there.
1) Hash with attribute name to attribute offset (relative to the
offset found from the hash in slot 0, generally known at
compile time, but introspection is nice)
2) Integer number of attributes this class has
3) Notification array
Do we store ptrs to parent classes in one of these slots? Also Can I
access
slots like:
set Px, Py[1]# store the name to offset hash in Px
No the parent's gotten to via the vtable, and yes you can.
So to sum up we need the following pmc's:
pmclass Ref {
data is a pointer to an object
}
pmclass Attr {
data is an array of attributes
}
pmclass Class extends Attr {
}
pmclass Object {
this was not explained, but I guess it at least
has a reference to a Class and
