## expand-oop-syntax.pkg

# Compiled by:
#     src/lib/compiler/front/typer/typer.sublib

# Design
# ------
#
# We follow the path outlined by Bernard Berthomieu
# in his March 2000 paper
#
#     OO Programming styles in ML
#     http://www.laas.fr/~bernard/oo/ooml.html
#
# This paper's approach has the advantage of requiring no
# change in the base language semantics:  It can be implemented
# entirely in terms of derived forms that expand into the
# underlying vanilla language during initial parsetree
# construction.
#
# This leaves the bulk of the compiler unchanged.
#
# More importantly, it eliminates all risk of introducing
# anomalies into the core language semantics, such as say
# typechecking becoming undecidable (as in C++).
#
# Our approach is based on his "simple dispatch with
# embedded methods" design.
#
# As syntactic support, in
#
#     src/lib/compiler/front/parser/yacc/mythryl.grammar
#
# we have made four changes to the base Mythryl syntax:
#
# (1) We allow 
#
#         class   foo = pkg ... end;
#
#     as a synonym for
#
#         package foo = pkg ... end;
#
#     This is purely cosmetic.
#
# (2) At package toplevel we allow
#
#         field name;
#
#     This serves to declare OOP object fields.
#
# (3) At package toplevel we allow substitution
#     of 'method' for 'fun' in function declarations,
#     with otherwise identical syntax.
#
#     This serves to declare OOP methods:
#
#         method print_name self
#             =
#             printf  "My name is %s.\n"  self->name;
#
# (4) We allow the syntax object->field for accessing
#     object fields within class methods and functions.
#



# Implementation
# --------------
#
# We have a small supporting hack
#
#     src/lib/compiler/front/parser/raw-syntax/oop-syntax-parser-transform.pkg 
#
# invoked directly from
#
#     src/lib/compiler/front/parser/yacc/mythryl.grammar
#
# which establishes needed module dependencies on
#
#     src/lib/src/oop.pkg
#     src/lib/src/object.pkg

# These dependencies are special because at that point we
# have not yet synthesized the code using them, hence the
# need for a special hack to make the dependency analysis
# phase of the compiler aware of them.
#
# Our logic in this file gets invoked at compile time from
# type_named_packages() in
#
#     src/lib/compiler/front/typer/main/type-package-language-g.pkg
#
# with the raw syntax tree for a complete
#
#     class { ... }
#
# construct, presumably containing 'field' and
# 'method' declarations.
#
# Our task is to eliminate those declarations by
# expanding them into equivalent declarations in
# the underlying vanilla language.  (If there are
# no 'field' or 'method' declarations present,
# we have nothing to do.)
#
# This task breaks down into the following subtasks:
#
#   o  Collect and count the 'field' declarations,
#      assigning them successive slots in the eventual
#      object vector (tuple).
#
#   o  Collect and count the 'method' declarations,
#      saving them in successive slots in a package-global
#      method vector (tuple).
#      
#   o  Replace each 'method' declaration by a trivial
#      message wrapper which fetches and invokes the
#      corresponding method function from the appropriate
#      slot of self's method vector.
#
#   o  Make a 'make__object' function which creates
#      new objects which are instances of the class.
#      Each consists of a
#          { object__methods, object__fields }
#      record.
