852 | # Why I changed this (groditi) |
853 | # - One Metaclass may have many Classes through many Metaclass instances |
854 | # - One Metaclass should only have one Immutable Transformer instance |
855 | # - Each Class may have different Immutabilizing options |
856 | # - Therefore each Metaclass instance may have different Immutabilizing options |
857 | # - We need to store one Immutable Transformer instance per Metaclass |
858 | # - We need to store one set of Immutable Transformer options per Class |
859 | # - Upon make_mutable we may delete the Immutabilizing options |
860 | # - We could clean the immutable Transformer instance when there is no more |
861 | # immutable Classes of that type, but we can also keep it in case |
862 | # another class with this same Metaclass becomes immutable. It is a case |
863 | # of trading of storing an instance to avoid unnecessary instantiations of |
864 | # Immutable Transformers. You may view this as a memory leak, however |
865 | # Because we have few Metaclasses, in practice it seems acceptable |
866 | # - To allow Immutable Transformers instances to be cleaned up we could weaken |
867 | # the reference stored in $IMMUTABLE_TRANSFORMERS{$class} and ||= should DWIM |

980 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
981 | |
0ac992ee |
982 | This is the largest and currently most complex part of the Perl 5 |
983 | meta-object protocol. It controls the introspection and |
984 | manipulation of Perl 5 classes (and it can create them too). The |
985 | best way to understand what this module can do, is to read the |
fe122940 |
986 | documentation for each of it's methods. |
987 | |

991 | |
992 | =over 4 |
993 | |
994 | =item B<meta> |
995 | |
0ac992ee |
996 | This will return a B<Class::MOP::Class> instance which is related |
997 | to this class. Thereby allowing B<Class::MOP::Class> to actually |
fe122940 |
998 | introspect itself. |
999 | |
0ac992ee |
1000 | As with B<Class::MOP::Attribute>, B<Class::MOP> will actually |
1001 | bootstrap this module by installing a number of attribute meta-objects |
1002 | into it's metaclass. This will allow this class to reap all the benifits |
1003 | of the MOP when subclassing it. |

1006 | |

1007 | =head2 Class construction |
1008 | |
0ac992ee |
1009 | These methods will handle creating B<Class::MOP::Class> objects, |
1010 | which can be used to both create new classes, and analyze |
1011 | pre-existing classes. |
552e3d24 |
1012 | |
0ac992ee |
1013 | This module will internally store references to all the instances |
1014 | you create with these methods, so that they do not need to be |
552e3d24 |
1015 | created any more than nessecary. Basically, they are singletons. |
1016 | |
1017 | =over 4 |
1018 | |
0ac992ee |
1019 | =item B<create ($package_name, |
1020 | version =E<gt> ?$version, |
1021 | authority =E<gt> ?$authority, |
1022 | superclasses =E<gt> ?@superclasses, |
1023 | methods =E<gt> ?%methods, |
a2e85e6c |
1024 | attributes =E<gt> ?%attributes)> |
552e3d24 |
1025 | |
0ac992ee |
1026 | This returns a B<Class::MOP::Class> object, bringing the specified |
1027 | C<$package_name> into existence and adding any of the C<$version>, |
1028 | C<$authority>, C<@superclasses>, C<%methods> and C<%attributes> to |
88dd563c |
1029 | it. |
552e3d24 |
1030 | |
0ac992ee |
1031 | =item B<create_anon_class (superclasses =E<gt> ?@superclasses, |
1032 | methods =E<gt> ?%methods, |
587aca23 |
1033 | attributes =E<gt> ?%attributes)> |
1034 | |
0ac992ee |
1035 | This will create an anonymous class, it works much like C<create> but |
1036 | it does not need a C<$package_name>. Instead it will create a suitably |
587aca23 |
1037 | unique package name for you to stash things into. |
1038 | |
0ac992ee |
1039 | On very important distinction is that anon classes are destroyed once |
1040 | the metaclass they are attached to goes out of scope. In the DESTROY |
1041 | method, the created package will be removed from the symbol table. |
823a5d31 |
1042 | |
d4ba1677 |
1043 | It is also worth noting that any instances created with an anon-class |
0ac992ee |
1044 | will keep a special reference to the anon-meta which will prevent the |
1045 | anon-class from going out of scope until all instances of it have also |
1046 | been destroyed. This however only works for HASH based instance types, |
1047 | as we use a special reserved slot (C<__MOP__>) to store this. |
d4ba1677 |
1048 | |
66b3dded |
1049 | =item B<initialize ($package_name, %options)> |
552e3d24 |
1050 | |
0ac992ee |
1051 | This initializes and returns returns a B<Class::MOP::Class> object |
a2e85e6c |
1052 | for a given a C<$package_name>. |
1053 | |
66b3dded |
1054 | =item B<reinitialize ($package_name, %options)> |
1055 | |
1056 | This removes the old metaclass, and creates a new one in it's place. |
0ac992ee |
1057 | Do B<not> use this unless you really know what you are doing, it could |
1058 | very easily make a very large mess of your program. |
66b3dded |
1059 | |
651955fb |
1060 | =item B<construct_class_instance (%options)> |
a2e85e6c |
1061 | |
0ac992ee |
1062 | This will construct an instance of B<Class::MOP::Class>, it is |
1063 | here so that we can actually "tie the knot" for B<Class::MOP::Class> |
1064 | to use C<construct_instance> once all the bootstrapping is done. This |
a2e85e6c |
1065 | method is used internally by C<initialize> and should never be called |
1066 | from outside of that method really. |
552e3d24 |
1067 | |
550d56db |
1068 | =item B<check_metaclass_compatability> |
1069 | |
0ac992ee |
1070 | This method is called as the very last thing in the |
1071 | C<construct_class_instance> method. This will check that the |
1072 | metaclass you are creating is compatible with the metaclasses of all |
1073 | your ancestors. For more inforamtion about metaclass compatibility |
550d56db |
1074 | see the C<About Metaclass compatibility> section in L<Class::MOP>. |
1075 | |
715adbb7 |
1076 | =item B<update_package_cache_flag> |
e0e4674a |
1077 | |
1078 | This will reset the package cache flag for this particular metaclass |
1079 | it is basically the value of the C<Class::MOP::get_package_cache_flag> |
1080 | function. This is very rarely needed from outside of C<Class::MOP::Class> |
1081 | but in some cases you might want to use it, so it is here. |
1082 | |
715adbb7 |
1083 | =item B<reset_package_cache_flag> |
1084 | |
127d39a7 |
1085 | Clears the package cache flag to announce to the internals that we need |
1086 | to rebuild the method map. |

1100 | for more information on the instance metaclasses. |
1101 | |
2d711cc8 |
1102 | =item B<get_meta_instance> |
1103 | |
127d39a7 |
1104 | Returns an instance of L<Class::MOP::Instance> to be used in the construction |
1105 | of a new instance of the class. |
1106 | |
5f3c057a |
1107 | =item B<new_object (%params)> |
1108 | |
0ac992ee |
1109 | This is a convience method for creating a new object of the class, and |
1110 | blessing it into the appropriate package as well. Ideally your class |
5f3c057a |
1111 | would call a C<new> this method like so: |
1112 | |
0ac992ee |
1113 | sub MyClass::new { |
5f3c057a |
1114 | my ($class, %param) = @_; |
1115 | $class->meta->new_object(%params); |
1116 | } |
1117 | |
cbd9f942 |
1118 | =item B<construct_instance (%params)> |
552e3d24 |
1119 | |
127d39a7 |
1120 | This method is used to construct an instance structure suitable for |
0ac992ee |
1121 | C<bless>-ing into your package of choice. It works in conjunction |
c9e77dbb |
1122 | with the Attribute protocol to collect all applicable attributes. |
1123 | |
0ac992ee |
1124 | This will construct and instance using a HASH ref as storage |
1125 | (currently only HASH references are supported). This will collect all |
1126 | the applicable attributes and layout out the fields in the HASH ref, |
1127 | it will then initialize them using either use the corresponding key |
1128 | in C<%params> or any default value or initializer found in the |
a2e85e6c |
1129 | attribute meta-object. |
727919c5 |
1130 | |
5f3c057a |
1131 | =item B<clone_object ($instance, %params)> |
1132 | |
0ac992ee |
1133 | This is a convience method for cloning an object instance, then |
1134 | blessing it into the appropriate package. This method will call |
1135 | C<clone_instance>, which performs a shallow copy of the object, |
1136 | see that methods documentation for more details. Ideally your |
19d4b5b8 |
1137 | class would call a C<clone> this method like so: |
5f3c057a |
1138 | |
1139 | sub MyClass::clone { |
1140 | my ($self, %param) = @_; |
1141 | $self->meta->clone_object($self, %params); |
1142 | } |
1143 | |
c9e77dbb |
1144 | =item B<clone_instance($instance, %params)> |
1145 | |
0ac992ee |
1146 | This method is a compliment of C<construct_instance> (which means if |
1147 | you override C<construct_instance>, you need to override this one too), |
19d4b5b8 |
1148 | and clones the instance shallowly. |
a27ae83f |
1149 | |
0ac992ee |
1150 | The cloned structure returned is (like with C<construct_instance>) an |
1151 | unC<bless>ed HASH reference, it is your responsibility to then bless |
a27ae83f |
1152 | this cloned structure into the right class (which C<clone_object> will |
1153 | do for you). |
c9e77dbb |
1154 | |
0ac992ee |
1155 | As of 0.11, this method will clone the C<$instance> structure shallowly, |
1156 | as opposed to the deep cloning implemented in prior versions. After much |
1157 | thought, research and discussion, I have decided that anything but basic |
1158 | shallow cloning is outside the scope of the meta-object protocol. I |
1159 | think Yuval "nothingmuch" Kogman put it best when he said that cloning |
19d4b5b8 |
1160 | is too I<context-specific> to be part of the MOP. |
1161 | |
214e4bd7 |
1162 | =item B<rebless_instance($instance, ?%params)> |
69663c57 |
1163 | |
1164 | This will change the class of C<$instance> to the class of the invoking |
1165 | C<Class::MOP::Class>. You may only rebless the instance to a subclass of |
214e4bd7 |
1166 | itself. You may pass in optional C<%params> which are like constructor |
1167 | params and will override anything already defined in the instance. |

1231 | =item B<add_method ($method_name, $method)> |

1233 | This will take a C<$method_name> and CODE reference to that |
1234 | C<$method> and install it into the class's package. |
552e3d24 |
1235 | |
0ac992ee |
1236 | B<NOTE>: |
1237 | This does absolutely nothing special to C<$method> |
1238 | other than use B<Sub::Name> to make sure it is tagged with the |
1239 | correct name, and therefore show up correctly in stack traces and |
552e3d24 |
1240 | such. |

663f8198 |
1246 | |
0ac992ee |
1247 | B<NOTE>: |
1248 | Unlike C<add_method>, this will B<not> try to name the |

552e3d24 |
1252 | =item B<has_method ($method_name)> |
1253 | |
0ac992ee |
1254 | This just provides a simple way to check if the class implements |
1255 | a specific C<$method_name>. It will I<not> however, attempt to check |
a2e85e6c |
1256 | if the class inherits the method (use C<UNIVERSAL::can> for that). |
552e3d24 |
1257 | |
0ac992ee |
1258 | This will correctly handle functions defined outside of the package |
552e3d24 |
1259 | that use a fully qualified name (C<sub Package::name { ... }>). |
1260 | |
0ac992ee |
1261 | This will correctly handle functions renamed with B<Sub::Name> and |
1262 | installed using the symbol tables. However, if you are naming the |
1263 | subroutine outside of the package scope, you must use the fully |
1264 | qualified name, including the package name, for C<has_method> to |
1265 | correctly identify it. |
552e3d24 |
1266 | |
0ac992ee |
1267 | This will attempt to correctly ignore functions imported from other |
1268 | packages using B<Exporter>. It breaks down if the function imported |
1269 | is an C<__ANON__> sub (such as with C<use constant>), which very well |
1270 | may be a valid method being applied to the class. |
552e3d24 |
1271 | |
0ac992ee |
1272 | In short, this method cannot always be trusted to determine if the |
1273 | C<$method_name> is actually a method. However, it will DWIM about |
a2e85e6c |
1274 | 90% of the time, so it's a small trade off I think. |
552e3d24 |
1275 | |
1276 | =item B<get_method ($method_name)> |

86482605 |
1279 | C<$method_name>, or return undef if that method does not exist. |
1280 | |
0ac992ee |
1281 | The Class::MOP::Method is codifiable, so you can use it like a normal |
86482605 |
1282 | CODE reference, see L<Class::MOP::Method> for more information. |
552e3d24 |
1283 | |
f9debadc |
1284 | =item B<find_method_by_name ($method_name)> |

1286 | This will return a CODE reference of the specified C<$method_name>, |
1287 | or return undef if that method does not exist. |
1288 | |
1289 | Unlike C<get_method> this will also look in the superclasses. |

552e3d24 |
1291 | =item B<remove_method ($method_name)> |
1292 | |
0ac992ee |
1293 | This will attempt to remove a given C<$method_name> from the class. |
1294 | It will return the CODE reference that it has removed, and will |
552e3d24 |
1295 | attempt to use B<Sub::Name> to clear the methods associated name. |
1296 | |
1297 | =item B<get_method_list> |
1298 | |
0ac992ee |
1299 | This will return a list of method names for all I<locally> defined |
1300 | methods. It does B<not> provide a list of all applicable methods, |
1301 | including any inherited ones. If you want a list of all applicable |
552e3d24 |
1302 | methods, use the C<compute_all_applicable_methods> method. |
1303 | |
1304 | =item B<compute_all_applicable_methods> |
1305 | |
0ac992ee |
1306 | This will return a list of all the methods names this class will |
1307 | respond to, taking into account inheritance. The list will be a list of |
1308 | HASH references, each one containing the following information; method |
1309 | name, the name of the class in which the method lives and a CODE |
552e3d24 |
1310 | reference for the actual method. |
1311 | |
1312 | =item B<find_all_methods_by_name ($method_name)> |
1313 | |
0ac992ee |
1314 | This will traverse the inheritence hierarchy and locate all methods |
1315 | with a given C<$method_name>. Similar to |
1316 | C<compute_all_applicable_methods> it returns a list of HASH references |
1317 | with the following information; method name (which will always be the |
1318 | same as C<$method_name>), the name of the class in which the method |
552e3d24 |
1319 | lives and a CODE reference for the actual method. |
1320 | |
0ac992ee |
1321 | The list of methods produced is a distinct list, meaning there are no |
1322 | duplicates in it. This is especially useful for things like object |
1323 | initialization and destruction where you only want the method called |
552e3d24 |
1324 | once, and in the correct order. |
1325 | |
96ceced8 |
1326 | =item B<find_next_method_by_name ($method_name)> |
1327 | |
0ac992ee |
1328 | This will return the first method to match a given C<$method_name> in |
1329 | the superclasses, this is basically equivalent to calling |
96ceced8 |
1330 | C<SUPER::$method_name>, but it can be dispatched at runtime. |

1334 | =head2 Method Modifiers |
1335 | |
0ac992ee |
1336 | Method modifiers are a concept borrowed from CLOS, in which a method |
1337 | can be wrapped with I<before>, I<after> and I<around> method modifiers |
1338 | that will be called everytime the method is called. |
96ceced8 |
1339 | |
1340 | =head3 How method modifiers work? |
1341 | |
0ac992ee |
1342 | Method modifiers work by wrapping the original method and then replacing |
1343 | it in the classes symbol table. The wrappers will handle calling all the |
1344 | modifiers in the appropariate orders and preserving the calling context |
1345 | for the original method. |
1346 | |
1347 | Each method modifier serves a particular purpose, which may not be |
1348 | obvious to users of other method wrapping modules. To start with, the |
1349 | return values of I<before> and I<after> modifiers are ignored. This is |
1350 | because thier purpose is B<not> to filter the input and output of the |
1351 | primary method (this is done with an I<around> modifier). This may seem |
1352 | like an odd restriction to some, but doing this allows for simple code |
1353 | to be added at the begining or end of a method call without jeapordizing |
1354 | the normal functioning of the primary method or placing any extra |
1355 | responsibility on the code of the modifier. Of course if you have more |
1356 | complex needs, then use the I<around> modifier, which uses a variation |
1357 | of continutation passing style to allow for a high degree of flexibility. |
1358 | |
1359 | Before and around modifiers are called in last-defined-first-called order, |
1360 | while after modifiers are called in first-defined-first-called order. So |
96ceced8 |
1361 | the call tree might looks something like this: |
0ac992ee |
1362 | |
96ceced8 |
1363 | before 2 |
1364 | before 1 |
1365 | around 2 |
1366 | around 1 |
1367 | primary |
1368 | after 1 |
1369 | after 2 |
1370 | |
0ac992ee |
1371 | To see examples of using method modifiers, see the following examples |
1372 | included in the distribution; F<InstanceCountingClass>, F<Perl6Attribute>, |
1373 | F<AttributesWithHistory> and F<C3MethodDispatchOrder>. There is also a |
96ceced8 |
1374 | classic CLOS usage example in the test F<017_add_method_modifier.t>. |
1375 | |
1376 | =head3 What is the performance impact? |
1377 | |
0ac992ee |
1378 | Of course there is a performance cost associated with method modifiers, |
1379 | but we have made every effort to make that cost be directly proportional |
96ceced8 |
1380 | to the amount of modifier features you utilize. |
1381 | |
0ac992ee |
1382 | The wrapping method does it's best to B<only> do as much work as it |
1383 | absolutely needs to. In order to do this we have moved some of the |
96ceced8 |
1384 | performance costs to set-up time, where they are easier to amortize. |
1385 | |
1386 | All this said, my benchmarks have indicated the following: |
1387 | |
1388 | simple wrapper with no modifiers 100% slower |
1389 | simple wrapper with simple before modifier 400% slower |
1390 | simple wrapper with simple after modifier 450% slower |
1391 | simple wrapper with simple around modifier 500-550% slower |
1392 | simple wrapper with all 3 modifiers 1100% slower |
1393 | |
0ac992ee |
1394 | These numbers may seem daunting, but you must remember, every feature |
1395 | comes with some cost. To put things in perspective, just doing a simple |
96ceced8 |
1396 | C<AUTOLOAD> which does nothing but extract the name of the method called |
0ac992ee |
1397 | and return it costs about 400% over a normal method call. |

1404 | will be passed the C<@_> arguments, and called before the original |
1405 | method is called. As specified above, the return value of the I<before> |
1406 | method modifiers is ignored, and it's ability to modify C<@_> is |
1407 | fairly limited. If you need to do either of these things, use an |
96ceced8 |
1408 | C<around> method modifier. |
1409 | |
a4258ffd |
1410 | =item B<add_after_method_modifier ($method_name, $code)> |

96ceced8 |
1414 | supplied C<$code> will be passed the C<@_> arguments, and called. |
0ac992ee |
1415 | As specified above, the return value of the I<after> method |
1416 | modifiers is ignored, and it cannot modify the return values of |
1417 | the original method. If you need to do either of these things, use an |
96ceced8 |
1418 | C<around> method modifier. |
1419 | |
a4258ffd |
1420 | =item B<add_around_method_modifier ($method_name, $code)> |
1421 | |
0ac992ee |
1422 | This will wrap the method at C<$method_name> so that C<$code> |
1423 | will be called and passed the original method as an extra argument |
1424 | at the begining of the C<@_> argument list. This is a variation of |
1425 | continuation passing style, where the function prepended to C<@_> |
1426 | can be considered a continuation. It is up to C<$code> if it calls |
1427 | the original method or not, there is no restriction on what the |
96ceced8 |
1428 | C<$code> can or cannot do. |

552e3d24 |
1451 | |
8203616d |
1452 | This stores the C<$attribute_meta_object> (or creates one from the |
0ac992ee |
1453 | C<$attribute_name> and C<%attribute_spec>) in the B<Class::MOP::Class> |
1454 | instance associated with the given class. Unlike methods, attributes |
1455 | within the MOP are stored as meta-information only. They will be used |
8203616d |
1456 | later to construct instances from (see C<construct_instance> above). |
0ac992ee |
1457 | More details about the attribute meta-objects can be found in the |
a2e85e6c |
1458 | L<Class::MOP::Attribute> or the L<Class::MOP/The Attribute protocol> |
1459 | section. |
1460 | |
0ac992ee |
1461 | It should be noted that any accessor, reader/writer or predicate |
1462 | methods which the C<$attribute_meta_object> has will be installed |
a2e85e6c |
1463 | into the class at this time. |
552e3d24 |

1468 | the new one added. |

552e3d24 |
1484 | |

1486 | Removing an attribute will only affect future instances of |

552e3d24 |
1488 | any existing instances of the class. |

0ac992ee |
1490 | It should be noted that any accessor, reader/writer or predicate |
1491 | methods which the attribute meta-object stored at C<$attribute_name> |
1492 | has will be removed from the class at this time. This B<will> make |
1493 | these attributes somewhat inaccessable in previously created |
1494 | instances. But if you are crazy enough to do this at runtime, then |
