Another checkpoint along the road toward lazily-constructed archetypes, which includes:
GenericEnvironment
how to use anArchetypeBuilder
to lazily fill in context types, rather than computing them prior to creation of theGenericEnvironment
.ArchetypeBuilder::getGenericEnvironment()
. To make it truly lazy, we need the archetype builder to persist for the life of the AST (which requires still more work)Type::transform()
.Type::subst()
that uses an arbitrary callback to map substitutable types to their replacement types, which is necessary when the mapping might be lazily constructed (seeGenericEnvironment
's use ofType::subst()
.Type::subst()
makes it easy to introduce alternate storage mechanisms for the substitutable type -> replacement type mapping, so use a tail-allocated flat array of context types inGenericEnvironment
that is parallel with the generic parameters list.
