Forwarding to d...@microsoft.com. I'm not sure I understand what you want to achieve. Could you describe functionality your framework provides?
Every language that integrates with DLR might use a different way of expressing late bound calls. C#'s dynamic type is one way of doing that. The code that actually performs the dynamic dispatch via DLR call sites usually looks like: // Lazy-initialize a dynamic call-site object; provide a language specific binder that performs the runtime binding if (site == null) { site = CallSite<Func<CallSite, T1, .. Tn, TResult>>>.Create(runtime_binder); } // call the Target delegate of the site. result = Site.Target(Site, args); The runtime_binder for the site carries information about the dynamic operation available at compile-time. This includes e.g. a method name, the current accessibility context, etc. Tomas -----Original Message----- From: users-boun...@lists.ironpython.com [mailto:users-boun...@lists.ironpython.com] On Behalf Of Alexander Morou Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2011 6:39 AM To: Iron Python Mailing List Subject: [IronPython] Writing a Compiler framework: Static typing use of the DLR Hello, I'm not really sure where to ask this question, so I figured I'd ask on the mailing list of the project that largely started the DLR (assuming memory serves correctly.) I'm writing a compiler framework, and I was wondering what kind of work, in AST rewrites I would need to perform, or classes from the DLR object model I would need to use, in order to support, what C# calls, a static type dynamic? From what I can tell of C#, it uses its own model to wrap some of the concepts provided by the DLR, so I'm not exactly sure how to handle the late-bound dispatch so that it's marshaled by the appropriate language binder for a given object instance. I could go deeper into how C# does it, but I don't really like the idea of looking at the code that was written by someone else (since the only way I can look at it is through a disassembler), my own code rewritten by C#'s compiler is fine, but the innards of what that code uses: no. I understand the basic concept behind the DLR, but it's too complex to go over with a fine tooth comb. Search algorithms aren't sophisticated enough to ask questions like this through google or bing (especially on, largely intangible, intent in code), which is why I ask here. I originally asked Jeff Hardy (http://jdhardy.blogspot.com/) for insight, and he suggested I look here. Any insight anyone here can provide into this is appreciated.
