67 /* Procedure-with-setter
68
69 Four representations for procedure-with-setters were
70 considered before selecting this one:
71
72 1. A closure where the CODE and ENV slots are used to represent
73 the getter and a new SETTER slot is used for the setter. The
74 original getter is stored as a `getter' procedure property. For
75 closure getters, the CODE and ENV slots contains a copy of the
76 getter's CODE and ENV slots. For subr getters, the CODE contains
77 a call to the subr.
78
79 2. A compiled closure with a call to the getter in the cclo
80 procedure. The getter and setter are stored in slots 1 and 2.
81
82 3. An entity (i.e. a struct with an associated procedure) with a
83 call to the getter in the entity procedure and the setter stored
84 in slot 0. The original getter is stored in slot 1.
85
86 4. A new primitive procedure type supported in the evaluator. The
87 getter and setter are stored in a GETTER and SETTER slot. A call
88 to this procedure type results in a retrieval of the getter and a
89 jump back to the correct eval dispatcher.
90
91 Representation 4 was selected because of efficiency and
92 simplicity.
93
94 Rep 1 has the advantage that there is zero penalty for closure
95 getters, but primitive getters will get considerable overhead
96 because the procedure-with-getter will be a closure which calls
97 the getter.
98
99 Rep 3 has the advantage that a GOOPS accessor can be a subclass of
100 <procedure-with-setter>, but together with rep 2 it suffers from a
101 three level dispatch for non-GOOPS getters:
102
103 cclo/struct --> dispatch proc --> getter
104
105 This is because the dispatch procedure must take an extra initial
106 argument (cclo for rep 2, struct for rep 3).
107
108 Rep 4 has the single disadvantage that it uses up one tc7 type
109 code, but the plan for uniform vectors will very likely free tc7
110 codes, so this is probably no big problem. Also note that the
111 GETTER and SETTER slots can live directly on the heap, using the
112 new four-word cells. */
