Objectifying the InterpreterPlugin
Last updated at 12:14 am UTC on 17 January 2006
ObjectMemoryPlugin
was separated from the
InterpreterPlugin
(to prove that BytecodeInterpreter doesn't have to be an ObjectMemory and at the same time, as a gift to Tim ;-).
PrimitivesPlugin
was also separated from the
InterpreterPlugin
to make the picture complete (in view of the existence of
MiscPrimitivePlugin
).
Surprisingly, the price for all these is just a mere 5% in performance.
