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.

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.

59 ;; About the above. EIEIO must process its own code when it compiles
60 ;; itself, thus, by eval-and-compiling outselves, we solve the problem.

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