# Data structures
#
# Lisp is dynamically typed. Values always carry around knowledge of their
# type.
#
# There's several types of types in the description below, so we need a
# glossary and notational convention to disambiguate:
# lisp type: what Lisp code can see. Looks how you type it at the prompt.
# nil num char string symbol pair array
# type tag: the numeric code for a lisp type. All caps.
# NIL NUM CHAR STRING SYMBOL PAIR ARRAY
# memory type: a type specifying memory layout at the SubX level. Starts
# with a '$'.
# $int $array $(address _)
#
# Lisp values are represented in memory by the _cell_ data structure. A cell
# is 12 bytes long:
# tag: $int (4 bytes; we're not concerned about wasting space)
# data: 8 bytes whose contents and meaning depend on tag
#
# What values of the different Lisp types look like in memory:
# - nil: cell{ tag: 0/NIL, data: 0 0 }
# - num: cell{ tag: 1/NUM, data: $int 0 }
# data contains the number
# - char: cell{ tag: 2/CHAR, data: $int 0 }
# data contains the utf-8 code of the character (no compound glyphs, no
# modifiers, etc., etc.)
# - string: cell{ tag: 3/STRING, data: $(address stream byte)
# data contains an (address array byte) containing the string in utf-8
# - symbol: cell{ tag: 4/SYMBOL, data: $(address array byte) 0 }
# data contains an (address array byte) containing the name of the symbol in utf-8
# alternatively, data could contain an index into the table of interned symbols
# - pair: cell{ tag: 5/PAIR, data: $(address cell) $(address cell) }
# data contains pointers to car and cdr
# - array: cell{ tag: 6/ARRAY, data: $tag $(address stream data)
# data contains a pointer to an array of 8-byte data fields and the common
# tag for them all
