Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CXXR::ByteCode::ByteCode ( IntVector code,
ListVector constants 
)
inlineexplicit
Parameters:
codeNon-null pointer to the 'bytecode' (actually a set of integers).
constantsNon-null pointer to the associated constants (FIXME: improve this documentation.)

Member Function Documentation

void ByteCode::detachReferents ( )
virtual

Null out all references from this node to other nodes.

The referents of this node are those objects (derived from GCNode) designated by a GCEdge within this object. This function changes all GCEdges within this object to encapsulate a null pointer. It is used during the sweep phase of a mark-sweep garbage collection to break up unreachable subgraphs, and in particular to remove reference loops from them. After the application of this method, the GCNode should be regarded as a 'zombie', kept in existence only so other nodes can detach their references to it cleanly (using decRefCount()).

Note:
If this method is reimplemented in a derived class, the reimplemented version must remember to invoke detachReferents() for the immediate base class of the derived class, to ensure that all referents of the object get detached.

Reimplemented from CXXR::RObject.

RObject * ByteCode::evaluate ( Environment env)
virtual

Evaluate object in a specified Environment.

Parameters:
envPointer to the environment in which evaluation is to take place.
Returns:
Pointer to the result of evaluation.

Reimplemented from CXXR::RObject.

void ByteCode::initialize ( )
static

Initialize the class.

This function should be called before any other use is made of the ByteCode class.

Reimplemented from CXXR::GCNode.

void ByteCode::protectAll ( )
static

Ensure GC protection of all nodes.

This function ensures that all RObjects pointed to from the NodeStack are protected from garbage collection.

static const char* CXXR::ByteCode::staticTypeName ( )
inlinestatic

The name by which this type is known in R.

Returns:
the name by which this type is known in R.
const char * ByteCode::typeName ( ) const
virtual

Name within R of this type of object.

Returns:
the name by which this type of object is known within R.

Reimplemented from CXXR::RObject.

void ByteCode::visitReferents ( const_visitor v) const
virtual

Conduct a visitor to the nodes referred to by this one.

The referents of this node are those objects (derived from GCNode) designated by a GCEdge within this object.

Parameters:
vPointer to the visitor object.
Note:
If this method is reimplemented in a derived class, the reimplemented version must remember to invoke visitReferents() for the immediate base class of the derived class, to ensure that all referents of the object get visited. It is suggested that implementations set up stack-based pointers to all the referents of a node before visiting any of them; in that case, if the (recursive) visiting pushes the node out of the processor cache, there is no need to fetch it back in.

Reimplemented from CXXR::RObject.

void ByteCode::visitRoots ( GCNode::const_visitor v)
static

Conduct a const visitor via the NodeStack.

Conduct a GCNode::const_visitor object to each RObject pointed to by the NodeStack.

Parameters:
vPointer to the const_visitor object.
