26 ;;
27 ;; EIEIO is a series of Lisp routines which implements a subset of
28 ;; CLOS, the Common Lisp Object System. In addition, EIEIO also adds
29 ;; a few new features which help it integrate more strongly with the
30 ;; Emacs running environment.
31 ;;
32 ;; See eieio.texi for complete documentation on using this package.
33 ;;
34 ;; Note: the implementation of the c3 algorithm is based on:
35 ;; Kim Barrett et al.: A Monotonic Superclass Linearization for Dylan
36 ;; Retrieved from:
37 ;; http://192.220.96.201/dylan/linearization-oopsla96.html
38
39 ;; @TODO - fix :initform to be a form, not a quoted value
40 ;; @TODO - Prefix non-clos functions with `eieio-'.
41
42 ;; TODO: better integrate CL's defstructs and classes. E.g. make it possible
43 ;; to create a new class that inherits from a struct.

59 ;;
60 (defmacro defclass (name superclasses slots &rest options-and-doc)
61 "Define NAME as a new class derived from SUPERCLASS with SLOTS.
62 OPTIONS-AND-DOC is used as the class' options and base documentation.
63 SUPERCLASSES is a list of superclasses to inherit from, with SLOTS
64 being the slots residing in that class definition. Supported tags are:
65
66 :initform - Initializing form.
67 :initarg - Tag used during initialization.
68 :accessor - Tag used to create a function to access this slot.
69 :allocation - Specify where the value is stored.
70 Defaults to `:instance', but could also be `:class'.
71 :writer - A function symbol which will `write' an object's slot.
72 :reader - A function symbol which will `read' an object.
73 :type - The type of data allowed in this slot (see `typep').
74 :documentation
75 - A string documenting use of this slot.
76
77 The following are extensions on CLOS:
78 :custom - When customizing an object, the custom :type. Public only.
79 :label - A text string label used for a slot when customizing.
80 :group - Name of a customization group this slot belongs in.
81 :printer - A function to call to print the value of a slot.
82 See `eieio-override-prin1' as an example.
83
84 A class can also have optional options. These options happen in place
85 of documentation (including a :documentation tag), in addition to
86 documentation, or not at all. Supported options are:
87
88 :documentation - The doc-string used for this class.
89
90 Options added to EIEIO:
91
92 :allow-nil-initform - Non-nil to skip typechecking of null initforms.
93 :custom-groups - List of custom group names. Organizes slots into
94 reasonable groups for customizations.
95 :abstract - Non-nil to prevent instances of this class.
96 If a string, use as an error string if someone does
97 try to make an instance.
98 :method-invocation-order
99 - Control the method invocation order if there is
100 multiple inheritance. Valid values are:
101 :breadth-first - The default.
102 :depth-first
103
104 Options in CLOS not supported in EIEIO:
105
106 :metaclass - Class to use in place of `standard-class'
107 :default-initargs - Initargs to use when initializing new objects of
108 this class.
109
110 Due to the way class options are set up, you can add any tags you wish,
111 and reference them using the function `class-option'."
