The code consists of two main functions, reassignProperties and nativeMetaKernel, which interact with a meta_kernel object to fill in properties, create a new kernel instance, and perform installation and initialization tasks. The code imports various modules and functions from the ../Core directory, utilizing an extend function, metaKernelInterface, and nativeMethods to create a new kernel instance and perform additional tasks.

Run example

npm run import -- "native meta kernel"

Code Breakdown

Imports

The code starts by importing various modules and functions from the ../Core directory.

var importer = require('../Core');
var {extend} = importer.import('extend prototype class');
var interface = importer.import('enforcing an interface');
var metaKernelInterface = importer.import('meta kernel interface');
var nativeMethods = importer.import('native meta kernel methods');
var {nativeKernelInfo} = importer.import('kernel info interface');

reassignProperties Function

This function takes a meta_kernel object as an argument and fills in some properties automatically.

function reassignProperties(meta_kernel) {
    //...
}

The function does the following:

• Extracts several properties from the meta_kernel object: language_info, kernel_config, kernel_info, and install_config.
• Checks if language_info is missing but kernel_info is present. If so, sets language_info to kernel_info.language_info.
• Checks if kernel_info has a language_info property. If not, sets kernel_info.language_info to language_info.
• Calls nativeKernelInfo on kernel_info and sets the result to meta_kernel.kernel_info.
• Checks if a file exists at the path specified by kernel_config. If so, reads the file, parses its JSON content, and sets meta_kernel.kernel_config to the result.
• Checks if install_config is a function. If so, calls it with some arguments and sets meta_kernel.install_config to the result.

nativeMetaKernel Function

This function takes a meta_kernel object as an argument and creates a new kernel instance.

function nativeMetaKernel(meta_kernel) {
    //...
}

The function does the following:

• Calls reassignProperties on meta_kernel.
• Creates a new instance of the metaKernelInterface class, passing meta_kernel as an argument.
• Extends the new instance with the nativeMethods functions using the extend function.
• Checks if the kernel_config property is set to 'do_install'. If so, calls the do_install method on the new kernel instance with the install_config object as an argument.
• Checks if the autoinit property is set to true on the kernel_config object. If so, calls the autoinit method on the new kernel instance.

Note that the code has some commented-out sections and TODO comments, indicating that it is not yet complete or fully functional.
