src/common/guts.pir - subs that are part of the internals, not for users

HISTORY

Stolen from Rakudo.

SUBS

bool pipp_defined(string constant_name)

Check whether a Parrot register is defined.

void pipp_var_dump(mixed var)

Dump a PMC

return

For returning a value from a function.

pipp_create_class(name)

Internal helper method to create a class. See !keyword_class in Rakudo.

pipp_add_attribute(class, attr_name, attr_value)

Adds an attribute with the given name to the class or role. See !keyword_has in Rakudo.

!ADD_TO_WHENCE

Adds a key/value mapping to what will become the WHENCE on a proto-object (we don't have a proto-object to stick them on yet, so we put a property on the class temporarily, then attach it as the WHENCE clause later).

!PROTOINIT

Called after a new proto-object has been made for a new class or grammar. It finds any WHENCE data that we may need to add.
