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
39 ;; There is funny stuff going on with typep and deftype. This
40 ;; is the only way I seem to be able to make this stuff load properly.
42 ;; @TODO - fix :initform to be a form, not a quoted value
43 ;; @TODO - Prefix non-clos functions with `eieio-'.

53 "Display the current version of EIEIO."
58 ;; About the above. EIEIO must process its own code when it compiles
59 ;; itself, thus, by eval-and-compiling ourselves, we solve the problem.

64 ;; XEmacs can only access a compiled functions arglist like this:

263 SUPERCLASS is a list of superclasses to inherit from, with SLOTS
264 being the slots residing in that class definition. NOTE: Currently
265 only one slot may exist in SUPERCLASS as multiple inheritance is not
266 yet supported. Supported tags are:
268 :initform - Initializing form.
269 :initarg - Tag used during initialization.
270 :accessor - Tag used to create a function to access this slot.
271 :allocation - Specify where the value is stored.
272 Defaults to `:instance', but could also be `:class'.
273 :writer - A function symbol which will `write' an object's slot.
274 :reader - A function symbol which will `read' an object.
275 :type - The type of data allowed in this slot (see `typep').
276 :documentation
277 - A string documenting use of this slot.
279 The following are extensions on CLOS:
280 :protection - Specify protection for this slot.
281 Defaults to `:public'. Also use `:protected', or `:private'.
282 :custom - When customizing an object, the custom :type. Public only.
283 :label - A text string label used for a slot when customizing.
284 :group - Name of a customization group this slot belongs in.
285 :printer - A function to call to print the value of a slot.
286 See `eieio-override-prin1' as an example.
288 A class can also have optional options. These options happen in place
289 of documentation (including a :documentation tag), in addition to
290 documentation, or not at all. Supported options are:
292 :documentation - The doc-string used for this class.
294 Options added to EIEIO:
296 :allow-nil-initform - Non-nil to skip typechecking of null initforms.
297 :custom-groups - List of custom group names. Organizes slots into
298 reasonable groups for customizations.
299 :abstract - Non-nil to prevent instances of this class.
300 If a string, use as an error string if someone does
301 try to make an instance.
302 :method-invocation-order
303 - Control the method invocation order if there is
304 multiple inheritance. Valid values are:
305 :breadth-first - The default.
306 :depth-first
308 Options in CLOS not supported in EIEIO:
310 :metaclass - Class to use in place of `standard-class'
311 :default-initargs - Initargs to use when initializing new objects of
312 this class.
314 Due to the way class options are set up, you can add any tags you wish,
315 and reference them using the function `class-option'."
