A data structure that points at the `ci` and the `cc`. `iseq` objects points at the `cd`, and access call information and call caches via this structure | | `cfp`| Control Frame Pointer. Represents a Ruby stack frame. Calling a method pushes a new frame (cfp), returning pops a frame. Points at the `pc`, `sp`, `ep`, and the corresponding `iseq`| | `ci` | Call Information. Refers to an `rb_callinfo` struct. Contains call information about the call site, including number of parameters to be passed, whether it they are keyword arguments or not, etc. Used in conjunction with the `cc` and `cd`. | -| `cref` | Class reference. A structure pointing to the class reference where `klass_or_self`, visibility scope, and refinements are stored. It also stores a pointer to the next class in the hierachy referenced by `rb_cref_struct * next`. The Class reference is lexically scoped. | +| `cref` | Class reference.
