Want to make add-named-class is a functional interface to defclass. In
general, what we need to do is to stop using the expansion of the defclass
form to define extra things (like constructors) using top-level defining
forms. Instead, there is going to need to be a programmatic interface to
those things.
This means that things like make-constructor-definitions are going to be
replaced with something like do-constructor-definitions. Of course, we
may end up with some stuff in the expansion of defclass to do some pre
compiling of things like constructors (unless we introduce compile-class
analogous to compile-flavor-methods). But this would just be compiling
up templates which the do-constructor-definitions facility would then use
to do the constructor definition. This can be done by expand-defclass as
an optimization.
As a hack, we may leave some things in the expansion of the defclass until
we build enough machinery to interface properly to everyones Common Lisp.
This means that all the parsing stuff is going to happen in add-named-class.
BUT, we probably want to do some error checking in defclass (or expand-class)
so that we can have that compile-time error-checking appeal.
defclass epilogue is history, just get rid of it. from the method on class,
this happens:
* record-definition goes to defclass proper
- deftype goes to add-named-class but becomes do-deftype and we introduce a
new generic function make-type-predicate.
- make-constructor-definitions gets replaced with do-constructor-definitions
and goes into add-class
- the slot defsetfs go into slots-changed where they belong, going to have
to implement set-setf or something to provide a faster interface to
defining setf methods than saying (eval '(defsetf ..))
(defmethod defclass-epilogue ((proto standard-class) name parsed-options parsed-slots)
`(progn
(eval-when (compile load eval)
(record-definition ',name 'class)
(deftype ,name () '(satisfies ,(type-predicate-name name)))
,(make-constructor-definitions proto name parsed-options)
,@(mapcar #'(lambda (slot) (defclass-slot-epilouge proto slot name))
parsed-slots))))
from load-defclass, do-type-predicate-definition goes to add-named-class
The call to do-type-predicate-definitions got moved to add-named-class
Also, it got renamed and had its contract changed slightly. Its now called
make-type-predicate.
do-accessor-definitions goes to add-class. Actually, it gets all spread
out into slots-changed since we need to be able to undefine accessors that
no longer exist and there is no use redefining ones that already exist.
issues:
o When do slot descriptions get parsed?
ans: Having these parsed at compile time would require dumping slot
descriptions in the file. Because slot descriptions are user
defined objects which may even have pointers to other classes,
this would require letting the user control how they are dumped.
This is not palatable.
There are many other problems with having them parsed at compile
time as well, having to do with making sure the right things get
reparsed in the load-time-environment.
NOTE: This seems to be the same conclusion Moon reached. A
comment taken from the new Flavors code reads:
;; Note that we cannot save the result of PARSE-DEFFLAVOR in the BIN file,
;; but must redo the parse at load time, for too many reasons to list here
o How does the environment (compile versus eval) get communicated?
ans: In order for portable code to make use of this we would have to
standardize so much mechanism that it would not be palatable to
the Common Lisp community nor would it be a good idea. This is
because we do not yet really understand all the different ways
to deal with compile time environments (e.g. very few people do
in-package right!).
So, we assume that this communication of compile-time versus
run-time environments will be done in a implementation specific
way. It is easy for defclass to pass the the proper environment
information to add-named-class in a special variable. The same
is true for defmethod and add-method and all the others.
To Do:
stop parsing defclass options. setf of class-options can take care
of that. Keep error checking them of course.
implement do-deftype ;and then get rid of this
