Calls the named function, with the specified type encoding.
Gets the value of an instance variable, boxing it as necessary.
Creates and returns a "trampoline" Objective-C method implementation for a method with the given type string. When invoked, this method implementation will call ASTForMethod() which will look up the method's AST node using the slector and receiver's class, and finally interpret the AST node using -[LKMethod executeWithReciever:arguments:count:].
Note that the method IMPs returned by LKInterpreterMakeIMP can never be freed (because they might be cached).
These functions allow the interpreter to interact with the Objective-C runtime.
Send a message to an object. receiverClass is the class to start looking for the method implementation in; normally receiver's class, but if it is a super message send it should be the appropriate superclass of receiver.
Arguments are unboxed to the correct type, and the returned value is boxed to an object.
Throws an exception if any of the arguments can't be unboxed to the required type for the message send.
Sets the value of an instance variable, unboxing it as necessary. For object typed ivars, the existing value is released and the new value is retained.
