Okay so for compilation I have two ideas: returning compiled class reference and a bigger one that is register handling. So I will have two classes of registers which are either int or object. Any floating point and long will be done with the software math libraries. There will be a later stack caching pipeline but on the first stage there will be no stack caching, this is so the first stage can be made simpler and I can add stack caching later on accordingly. At least then if I can make it so that register operations and otherwise are more simple. I should probably have explicit outputs for instructions and such rather than just none of that. There will be a special instruction called drop which will just mark a register as invalid, could be used by the stack cached stage. Also perhaps as well I should do unique registers and whatnot so that no registers are actually used and they all have sources, but they do have dependencies. Will see how it works, but it would simplify the later stack caching stage where dependencies are known. So like every value in a register will be transformed by previous instructions and otherwise so that way everything is essentially just a long list of past values. Then if a value is replaced of course that history is deleted. This would produce a very large number of registers but each one would be unique and have a formula that actually creates them. At least for the stack caching stage it could make it easier to do. I would also have to keep track of whether a value is a mutate or is bound to a specific range, for example to cache out null checks. So yeah each stage of instruction will track whether a register is MUTATED, COPIED, or LIMITED_VALUE.
