In my interpreter, I have several primitive wrapper objects:
IntObject, FloatObject, etc.
Currently I'm planning to create functions for every combination:
def add_int_float(i, f):
return FloatObject(i.int_value() + f.float_value())
then I'd need some sort of dispatch code that would say
if isinstance(arg1, IntObject) and isinstance(arg2, FloatObject):
return add_int_float(arg1, arg2)
It seems like pypy should have something to do this already. I saw
some information on this but that seemed specific to the Python
interpreter.
What's the recommended procedure on this? Is there a way to tell pypy
"this object wraps a single value, so keep it unwrapped if you can",
or does pypy figure that out automagically?
Thanks,
Timothy
