76 /* Procedure-with-setter
77
78 Four representations for procedure-with-setters were
79 considered before selecting this one:
80
81 1. A closure where the CODE and ENV slots are used to represent
82 the getter and a new SETTER slot is used for the setter. The
83 original getter is stored as a `getter' procedure property. For
84 closure getters, the CODE and ENV slots contains a copy of the
85 getter's CODE and ENV slots. For subr getters, the CODE contains
86 a call to the subr.
87
88 2. A compiled closure with a call to the getter in the cclo
89 procedure. The getter and setter are stored in slots 1 and 2.
90
91 3. An entity (i.e. a struct with an associated procedure) with a
92 call to the getter in the entity procedure and the setter stored
93 in slot 0. The original getter is stored in slot 1.
94
95 4. A new primitive procedure type supported in the evaluator. The
96 getter and setter are stored in a GETTER and SETTER slot. A call
97 to this procedure type results in a retrieval of the getter and a
98 jump back to the correct eval dispatcher.
99
100 Representation 4 was selected because of efficiency and
101 simplicity.
102
103 Rep 1 has the advantage that there is zero penalty for closure
104 getters, but primitive getters will get considerable overhead
105 because the procedure-with-getter will be a closure which calls
106 the getter.
107
108 Rep 3 has the advantage that a GOOPS accessor can be a subclass of
109 <procedure-with-setter>, but together with rep 2 it suffers from a
110 three level dispatch for non-GOOPS getters:
111
112 cclo/struct --> dispatch proc --> getter
113
114 This is because the dispatch procedure must take an extra initial
115 argument (cclo for rep 2, struct for rep 3).
116
117 Rep 4 has the single disadvantage that it uses up one tc7 type
118 code, but the plan for uniform vectors will very likely free tc7
119 codes, so this is probably no big problem. Also note that the
120 GETTER and SETTER slots can live directly on the heap, using the
121 new four-word cells. */
