|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
C<Class::Struct> exports a single function, C<struct>.
|
|
Given a list of element names and types, and optionally
|
|
a class name, C<struct> creates a Perl 5 class that implements
|
|
a "struct-like" data structure.
|
|
|
|
The new class is given a constructor method, C<new>, for creating
|
|
struct objects.
|
|
|
|
Each element in the struct data has an accessor method, which is
|
|
used to assign to the element and to fetch its value. The
|
|
default accessor can be overridden by declaring a C<sub> of the
|
|
same name in the package. (See Example 2.)
|
|
|
|
Each element's type can be scalar, array, hash, or class.
|
|
|
|
=head2 The C<struct()> function
|
|
|
|
The C<struct> function has three forms of parameter-list.
|
|
|
|
struct( CLASS_NAME => [ ELEMENT_LIST ]);
|
|
struct( CLASS_NAME => { ELEMENT_LIST });
|
|
struct( ELEMENT_LIST );
|
|
|
|
The first and second forms explicitly identify the name of the
|
|
class being created. The third form assumes the current package
|
|
name as the class name.
|
|
|
|
An object of a class created by the first and third forms is
|
|
based on an array, whereas an object of a class created by the
|
|
second form is based on a hash. The array-based forms will be
|
|
somewhat faster and smaller; the hash-based forms are more
|
|
flexible.
|
|
|
|
The class created by C<struct> must not be a subclass of another
|
|
class other than C<UNIVERSAL>.
|
|
|
|
It can, however, be used as a superclass for other classes. To facilitate
|
|
this, the generated constructor method uses a two-argument blessing.
|
|
Furthermore, if the class is hash-based, the key of each element is
|
|
prefixed with the class name (see I<Perl Cookbook>, Recipe 13.12).
|
|
|
|
A function named C<new> must not be explicitly defined in a class
|
|
created by C<struct>.
|
|
|
|
The I<ELEMENT_LIST> has the form
|
|
|
|
NAME => TYPE, ...
|
|
|
|
Each name-type pair declares one element of the struct. Each
|
|
element name will be defined as an accessor method unless a
|
|
method by that name is explicitly defined; in the latter case, a
|
|
warning is issued if the warning flag (B<-w>) is set.
|
|
|
|
=head2 Class Creation at Compile Time
|
|
|
|
C<Class::Struct> can create your class at compile time. The main reason
|
|
for doing this is obvious, so your class acts like every other class in
|
|
Perl. Creating your class at compile time will make the order of events
|
|
similar to using any other class ( or Perl module ).
|
|
|
|
There is no significant speed gain between compile time and run time
|
|
class creation, there is just a new, more standard order of events.
|
|
|
|
=head2 Element Types and Accessor Methods
|
|
|
|
The four element types -- scalar, array, hash, and class -- are
|
|
represented by strings -- C<'$'>, C<'@'>, C<'%'>, and a class name --
|
|
optionally preceded by a C<'*'>.
|
|
|
|
The accessor method provided by C<struct> for an element depends
|
|
on the declared type of the element.
|
|
|
|
=over
|
|
|
|
=item Scalar (C<'$'> or C<'*$'>)
|
|
|
|
The element is a scalar, and by default is initialized to C<undef>
|
|
(but see L<Initializing with new>).
|
|
|
|
The accessor's argument, if any, is assigned to the element.
|
|
|
|
If the element type is C<'$'>, the value of the element (after
|
|
assignment) is returned. If the element type is C<'*$'>, a reference
|
|
to the element is returned.
|
|
|
|
=item Array (C<'@'> or C<'*@'>)
|
|
|
|
The element is an array, initialized by default to C<()>.
|
|
|
|
With no argument, the accessor returns a reference to the
|
|
element's whole array (whether or not the element was
|
|
specified as C<'@'> or C<'*@'>).
|
|
|
|
With one or two arguments, the first argument is an index
|
|
specifying one element of the array; the second argument, if
|
|
present, is assigned to the array element. If the element type
|
|
is C<'@'>, the accessor returns the array element value. If the
|
|
element type is C<'*@'>, a reference to the array element is
|
|
returned.
|
|
|
|
=item Hash (C<'%'> or C<'*%'>)
|
|
|
|
The element is a hash, initialized by default to C<()>.
|
|
|
|
With no argument, the accessor returns a reference to the
|
|
element's whole hash (whether or not the element was
|
|
specified as C<'%'> or C<'*%'>).
|
|
|
|
With one or two arguments, the first argument is a key specifying
|
|
one element of the hash; the second argument, if present, is
|
|
assigned to the hash element. If the element type is C<'%'>, the
|
|
accessor returns the hash element value. If the element type is
|
|
C<'*%'>, a reference to the hash element is returned.
|
|
|
|
=item Class (C<'Class_Name'> or C<'*Class_Name'>)
|
|
|
|
The element's value must be a reference blessed to the named
|
|
class or to one of its subclasses. The element is initialized to
|
|
the result of calling the C<new> constructor of the named class.
|
|
|
|
The accessor's argument, if any, is assigned to the element. The
|
|
accessor will C<croak> if this is not an appropriate object
|
|
reference.
|
|
|
|
If the element type does not start with a C<'*'>, the accessor
|
|
returns the element value (after assignment). If the element type
|
|
starts with a C<'*'>, a reference to the element itself is returned.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
=head2 Initializing with C<new>
|
|
|
|
C<struct> always creates a constructor called C<new>. That constructor
|
|
may take a list of initializers for the various elements of the new
|
|
struct.
|
|
|
|
Each initializer is a pair of values: I<element name>C< =E<gt> >I<value>.
|
|
The initializer value for a scalar element is just a scalar value. The
|
|
initializer for an array element is an array reference. The initializer
|
|
for a hash is a hash reference.
|
|
|
|
The initializer for a class element is also a hash reference, and the
|
|
contents of that hash are passed to the element's own constructor.
|
|
|
|
See Example 3 below for an example of initialization.
|
|
|
|
=head1 EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
=over
|
|
|
|
=item Example 1
|
|
|
|
Giving a struct element a class type that is also a struct is how
|
|
structs are nested. Here, C<timeval> represents a time (seconds and
|
|
microseconds), and C<rusage> has two elements, each of which is of
|
|
type C<timeval>.
|
|
|
|
use Class::Struct;
|
|
|
|
struct( rusage => {
|
|
ru_utime => timeval, # seconds
|
|
ru_stime => timeval, # microseconds
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
struct( timeval => [
|
|
tv_secs => '$',
|
|
tv_usecs => '$',
|
|
]);
|
|
|
|
# create an object:
|
|
my $t = new rusage;
|
|
|
|
# $t->ru_utime and $t->ru_stime are objects of type timeval.
|
|
# set $t->ru_utime to 100.0 sec and $t->ru_stime to 5.0 sec.
|
|
$t->ru_utime->tv_secs(100);
|
|
$t->ru_utime->tv_usecs(0);
|
|
$t->ru_stime->tv_secs(5);
|
|
$t->ru_stime->tv_usecs(0);
|
|
|
|
=item Example 2
|
|
|
|
An accessor function can be redefined in order to provide
|
|
additional checking of values, etc. Here, we want the C<count>
|
|
element always to be nonnegative, so we redefine the C<count>
|
|
accessor accordingly.
|
|
|
|
package MyObj;
|
|
use Class::Struct;
|
|
|
|
# declare the struct
|
|
struct ( 'MyObj', { count => '$', stuff => '%' } );
|
|
|
|
# override the default accessor method for 'count'
|
|
sub count {
|
|
my $self = shift;
|
|
if ( @_ ) {
|
|
die 'count must be nonnegative' if $_[0] < 0;
|
|
$self->{'count'} = shift;
|
|
warn "Too many args to count" if @_;
|
|
}
|
|
return $self->{'count'};
|
|
}

package main;
|
|

|
|
print "\$x->count(5) = ", $x->count(5), "\n";
|

|
print "\$x->count = ", $x->count, "\n";
|
|
# prints '$x->count = 5'
|
|
|
|
print "\$x->count(-5) = ", $x->count(-5), "\n";

=item Example 3
|
|
|
|
The constructor of a generated class can be passed a list
|
|
of I<element>=>I<value> pairs, with which to initialize the struct.
|
|
If no initializer is specified for a particular element, its default
|
|
initialization is performed instead. Initializers for non-existent
|
|
elements are silently ignored.
|
|
|
|
Note that the initializer for a nested struct is specified
|
|
as an anonymous hash of initializers, which is passed on to the nested
|
|
struct's constructor.

|
Modified by Casey Tweten, 2000-11-08, v0.59.
|
|
|
|
Added the ability for compile time class creation.
|
|
|
|
Modified by Damian Conway, 1999-03-05, v0.58.
|
|
|
|
Added handling of hash-like arg list to class ctor.
|
|
|
|
Changed to two-argument blessing in ctor to support
|
|
derivation from created classes.
|
|
|
|
Added classname prefixes to keys in hash-based classes
|
|
(refer to "Perl Cookbook", Recipe 13.12 for rationale).
|
|
|
|
Corrected behaviour of accessors for '*@' and '*%' struct
|
|
elements. Package now implements documented behaviour when
|
|
returning a reference to an entire hash or array element.
|
|
Previously these were returned as a reference to a reference
|
|
to the element.
|
|
|
|
Renamed to C<Class::Struct> and modified by Jim Miner, 1997-04-02.
|
|
|
|
members() function removed.
|
|
Documentation corrected and extended.
|
|
Use of struct() in a subclass prohibited.
|
|
User definition of accessor allowed.
|
|
Treatment of '*' in element types corrected.
|
|
Treatment of classes as element types corrected.
|
|
Class name to struct() made optional.
|
|
Diagnostic checks added.
