Parrot::OpTrans is a Perl module that can transform Ops to C Code.
Parrot::OpTrans is the abstract superclass for the Parrot op to C transforms. Each transform contains various bits of information needed to generate the C code, and creates a different type of run loop. The methods defined here supply various default values and behaviour common to all transforms.
The subclass hierarchy is as follows:

Class Methods
new()
Returns a new instance.
Instance Methods
prefix()
Returns the default 'Parrot_' prefix.
Used by Parrot::Op's func_name() to individuate op function names.
suffix()
Implemented in subclasses to return a suffix with which to individuate variable names. This default implementation returns an empty string.
defines()
Implemented in subclasses to return the C #define macros required.
opsarraytype()
Returns the type for the array of opcodes. By default here it's an array opcode_t, but the prederef runops core uses an array of void* to do its clever tricks.
core_type()
Implemented in subclasses to return the type of core created by the transform. This default implementation raises an exception indicating that the core type is missing. See the Parrot_Run_core_t enum in include/parrot/interpreter.h for a list of the core types.
core_prefix()
Implemented in subclasses to return a short prefix indicating the core type used to individuate core function names.
run_core_func_decl($base)
Optionally implemented in subclasses to return the C code for the run core function declaration. $base is the name of the main ops file minus the .ops extension.
ops_addr_decl($base_suffix)
Optionally implemented in subclasses to return the C code for the ops address declaration. $base_suffix is the name of the main ops file minus the .ops extension with suffix() and an underscore appended.
run_core_func_decl($base)
Optionally implemented in subclasses to return the C code for the run core function declaration. $base is the same as for run_core_func_decl().
run_core_func_start()
Implemented in subclasses, if run_core_func_decl() is implemented, to return the C code prior to the run core function.
run_core_after_addr_table($base_suffix)
Optionally implemented in subclasses to return the run core C code for section after the address table. $base_suffix is the same as for ops_addr_decl().
run_core_finish($base)
Implemented in subclasses to return the C code following the run core function. $base is the same as for run_core_func_decl().
init_func_init1($base)
Optionally implemented in subclasses to return the C code for the core's init function. $base is the same as for run_core_func_decl().
init_set_dispatch($base_suffix)
Optionally implemented in subclasses to return the C code for initializing the dispatch mechanism within the core's init function. $base_suffix is the same as for ops_addr_decl().
Macro Substitutions
The following methods are called by Parrot::OpFile to perform ops file macro substitutions.
access_arg($type, $value, $op)
Implemented in subclasses to return the C code for the specified op argument type and value. $op is an instance of Parrot::Op.
gen_goto($where)
The various goto_X methods below call this method with the return value of an expr_X method (implemented in subclass).
restart_address($address)
Implemented in subclasses to return the C code for restart ADDRESS($address).
restart_offset($offset)
Implemented in subclasses to return the C code for restart OFFSET($offset).
goto_address($address)
Transforms the goto ADDRESS($address) macro in an ops file into the relevant C code.
goto_offset($offset)
Transforms the goto OFFSET($offset) macro in an ops file into the relevant C code.
goto_pop()
Transforms the goto POP($address) macro in an ops file into the relevant C code.
expr_offset($offset)
Implemented in subclasses to return the C code for OFFSET($offset). Called by goto_offset().
expr_address($address)
Implemented in subclasses to return the C code for ADDRESS($address). Called by goto_address().
