7 Classes and Objects

 (require (planet cce/scheme:7:8/class))

This module provides tools for classes, objects, and mixins.

7.1 Predicates and Contracts

class-or-interface/c : flat-contract?
Recognizes classes and interfaces.

(object-provides/c spec ...) → flat-contract?
  spec : class-or-interface/c
Recognizes objects which are instances of all the given classes and interfaces.

(class-provides/c spec ...) → flat-contract?
  spec : class-or-interface/c
Recognizes classes which are subclasses (not strictly) and implementations, respectively, of all the given classes and interfaces.

(mixin-provides/c [super-expr ...] [sub-expr ...])
Function contract for a mixin whose argument is the parent class c% matching (class-provides/c super-expr ...) and whose result matches (class-provides/c c% sub-expr ...).

7.2 Mixins

(ensure-interface i<%> mx c%) → (class-provides/c c% i<%>)
  i<%> : interface?
  mx : (mixin-provides/c [] [i<%>])
  c% : class?
Returns c% if it implements i<%>; otherwise, returns (mx c%).

7.3 Methods

(send+ obj [message arg ...] ...)
Sends each message (with arguments) to obj, then returns obj.

Examples:

(define c%
  (class object%
    (super-new)
    (define/public (say msg) (printf "~a!\n" msg))))
> (send+ (new c%) [say 'Hello] [say 'Good-bye])

Hello!

Good-bye!

(object:c% ...)

(send-each objs message arg ...)
Sends the message to each object in the list objs, returning (void).

Examples:

(define c%
  (class object%
    (super-new)
    (init-field msg)
    (define/public (say to) (printf "~a, ~a!\n" msg to))))
> (send-each
   (list (new c% [msg 'Hello])
         (new c% [msg 'Good-bye]))
   say 'World)

Hello, World!

Good-bye, World!
