## Class closing

# NOTE:
# Why I changed this (groditi)
# - One Metaclass may have many Classes through many Metaclass instances
# - One Metaclass should only have one Immutable Transformer instance
# - Each Class may have different Immutabilizing options
# - Therefore each Metaclass instance may have different Immutabilizing options
# - We need to store one Immutable Transformer instance per Metaclass
# - We need to store one set of Immutable Transformer options per Class
# - Upon make_mutable we may delete the Immutabilizing options
# - We could clean the immutable Transformer instance when there is no more
# immutable Classes of that type, but we can also keep it in case
# another class with this same Metaclass becomes immutable. It is a case
# of trading of storing an instance to avoid unnecessary instantiations of

# get a list of all the classes searched
# the method dispatcher in the correct order
Foo->meta->class_precedence_list()
# remove a method from Foo
Foo->meta->remove_method('bar');
# or use this to actually create classes ...
Class::MOP::Class->create('Bar' => (
version => '0.01',
superclasses => [ 'Foo' ],
attributes => [
Class::MOP:::Attribute->new('$bar'),
Class::MOP:::Attribute->new('$baz'),
],
methods => {
calculate_bar => sub { ... },

}
));
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is the largest and currently most complex part of the Perl 5
meta-object protocol. It controls the introspection and
manipulation of Perl 5 classes (and it can create them too). The
best way to understand what this module can do, is to read the
documentation for each of it's methods.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 Self Introspection
=over 4
=item B
This will return a B instance which is related
to this class. Thereby allowing B to actually
introspect itself.
As with B, B will actually
bootstrap this module by installing a number of attribute meta-objects
into it's metaclass. This will allow this class to reap all the benifits
of the MOP when subclassing it.
=back
=head2 Class construction
These methods will handle creating B objects,
which can be used to both create new classes, and analyze
pre-existing classes.
This module will internally store references to all the instances
you create with these methods, so that they do not need to be
created any more than nessecary. Basically, they are singletons.
=over 4
=item B ?$version,
authority =E ?$authority,
superclasses =E ?@superclasses,
methods =E ?%methods,
attributes =E ?%attributes)>
This returns a B object, bringing the specified
C<$package_name> into existence and adding any of the C<$version>,
C<$authority>, C<@superclasses>, C<%methods> and C<%attributes> to
it.
=item B ?@superclasses,
methods =E ?%methods,
attributes =E ?%attributes)>
This will create an anonymous class, it works much like C but
it does not need a C<$package_name>. Instead it will create a suitably
unique package name for you to stash things into.
On very important distinction is that anon classes are destroyed once
the metaclass they are attached to goes out of scope. In the DESTROY
method, the created package will be removed from the symbol table.
It is also worth noting that any instances created with an anon-class
will keep a special reference to the anon-meta which will prevent the
anon-class from going out of scope until all instances of it have also
been destroyed. This however only works for HASH based instance types,
as we use a special reserved slot (C<__MOP__>) to store this.
=item B
This initializes and returns returns a B object
for a given a C<$package_name>.
=item B
This removes the old metaclass, and creates a new one in it's place.
Do B use this unless you really know what you are doing, it could
very easily make a very large mess of your program.
=item B
This will construct an instance of B, it is
here so that we can actually "tie the knot" for B
to use C once all the bootstrapping is done. This
method is used internally by C and should never be called
from outside of that method really.
=item B
This method is called as the very last thing in the
C method. This will check that the
metaclass you are creating is compatible with the metaclasses of all
your ancestors. For more inforamtion about metaclass compatibility
see the C section in L.
=item B
This will reset the package cache flag for this particular metaclass
it is basically the value of the C
function. This is very rarely needed from outside of C
but in some cases you might want to use it, so it is here.
=item B
Clears the package cache flag to announce to the internals that we need
to rebuild the method map.
=back
=head2 Object instance construction and cloning
These methods are B, it is up to you whether you want
to use them or not.
=over 4
=item B
Returns the class name of the instance metaclass, see L
for more information on the instance metaclasses.
=item B
Returns an instance of L to be used in the construction
of a new instance of the class.
=item B
This is a convience method for creating a new object of the class, and
blessing it into the appropriate package as well. Ideally your class
would call a C this method like so:
sub MyClass::new {
my ($class, %param) = @_;
$class->meta->new_object(%params);
}
=item B
This method is used to construct an instance structure suitable for
C-ing into your package of choice. It works in conjunction
with the Attribute protocol to collect all applicable attributes.
This will construct and instance using a HASH ref as storage
(currently only HASH references are supported). This will collect all
the applicable attributes and layout out the fields in the HASH ref,
it will then initialize them using either use the corresponding key
in C<%params> or any default value or initializer found in the
attribute meta-object.
=item B
This is a convience method for cloning an object instance, then
blessing it into the appropriate package. This method will call
C, which performs a shallow copy of the object,
see that methods documentation for more details. Ideally your
class would call a C this method like so:
sub MyClass::clone {
my ($self, %param) = @_;
$self->meta->clone_object($self, %params);
}
=item B
This method is a compliment of C (which means if
you override C, you need to override this one too),
and clones the instance shallowly.
The cloned structure returned is (like with C) an
unCed HASH reference, it is your responsibility to then bless
this cloned structure into the right class (which C will
do for you).
As of 0.11, this method will clone the C<$instance> structure shallowly,
as opposed to the deep cloning implemented in prior versions. After much
thought, research and discussion, I have decided that anything but basic
shallow cloning is outside the scope of the meta-object protocol. I
think Yuval "nothingmuch" Kogman put it best when he said that cloning
is too I to be part of the MOP.
=item B
This will change the class of C<$instance> to the class of the invoking
C. You may only rebless the instance to a subclass of
itself. You may pass in optional C<%params> which are like constructor
params and will override anything already defined in the instance.
=back
=head2 Informational
These are a few predicate methods for asking information about the class.
=over 4
=item B
This returns true if the class is a C created anon class.
=item B
This returns true if the class is still mutable.
=item B
This returns true if the class has been made immutable.
=back
=head2 Inheritance Relationships
=over 4
=item B
This is a read-write attribute which represents the superclass
relationships of the class the B instance is
associated with. Basically, it can get and set the C<@ISA> for you.
=item B
This computes the a list of all the class's ancestors in the same order
in which method dispatch will be done. This is similair to what
B does, but we don't remove duplicate names.
=item B
This returns a list based on C but with all
duplicates removed.
=item B
This returns a list of subclasses for this class.
=back
=head2 Methods
=over 4
=item B
Returns a HASH ref of name to CODE reference mapping for this class.
=item B
Returns the class name of the method metaclass, see L
for more information on the method metaclasses.
=item B
This will take a C<$method_name> and CODE reference to that
C<$method> and install it into the class's package.
B:
This does absolutely nothing special to C<$method>
other than use B to make sure it is tagged with the
correct name, and therefore show up correctly in stack traces and
such.
=item B
This will take a C<$method_name> and CODE reference to that
C<$method> and alias the method into the class's package.
B:
Unlike C, this will B try to name the
C<$method> using B, it only aliases the method in
the class's package.
=item B
This just provides a simple way to check if the class implements
a specific C<$method_name>. It will I however, attempt to check
if the class inherits the method (use C for that).
This will correctly handle functions defined outside of the package
that use a fully qualified name (C).
This will correctly handle functions renamed with B and
installed using the symbol tables. However, if you are naming the
subroutine outside of the package scope, you must use the fully
qualified name, including the package name, for C to
correctly identify it.
This will attempt to correctly ignore functions imported from other
packages using B. It breaks down if the function imported
is an C<__ANON__> sub (such as with C
