MOP Generic Functions¶

The MOP is itself implemented using generic functions and the class slot from each instance.

Initialization¶

generic object/initialize inst initargs¶

Initialize the instance inst from initargs. initialize is called from make-instance.

The following methods are defined:

(<method> <top>)
(<generic> <top>)
(<class> <top>)
(<object> <top>)

Instance Structure¶

generic object/allocate-instance cl¶

Allocate space for an instance of class cl. allocate-instance is called from make-instance.

The following methods are defined:

(<entity-class>)
(<class>)

generic object/compute-getter-and-setter cl slot allocator¶

Compute the getter and setter information for slot slot in class cl using allocator allocator.

The following method is defined:

(<class> <top> <top>)

Class Initialization¶

generic object/compute-cpl cl¶

Determine the class precedence list from the super-classes.

The following method is defined:

(<class>)

generic object/compute-slots cl¶

Determine the actual class slots from the direct and inherited slots.

The following method is defined:

(<class>)

Generic Invocation¶

generic object/compute-apply-generic gf¶

Return a function to be used as the instance proc for generic gf.

The function takes any number of arguments and calls compute-methods and compute-apply-methods.

The following method is defined:

(<generic>)

generic object/compute-methods gf¶

Return a function to be used to calculate the sorted list of methods given the generic function’s arguments.

The function calls compute-method-more-specific?.

The following method is defined:

(<generic>)

generic object/compute-method-more-specific? gf¶

Return a function to be used to sort methods by their specializers.

The following method is defined:

(<generic>)

generic object/compute-apply-methods gf¶

Return a function to be used to call the method-procedure for the sorted list of applicable methods determined previously.

The function takes a list of methods and the generic function’s arguments.

The following method is defined:

(<generic>)
