Detailed Description

External variable accessor.

This is a very special form (both for Lisp and Scheme) which should be called with the SExpressionIndirect object INSTEAD of the arguments list, that is, the call must be a dotted pair with car being SExpressionIndirectAccessor and cdr being SExpressionIndirect. Don't care much about all this stuff.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void SExpressionIndirectAccessor::Call (  const SReference &  formtail, IntelibContinuation &  cont )  const [virtual]

Implements SExpressionForm.

virtual SString SExpressionIndirectAccessor::TextRepresentation (   )  const [virtual]

Text representation of the S-expression. Returns the text string which represents the given S-expression as for real Lisp (for example, (25 36 49)) Implements SExpression. Definition at line 144 of file extvar.hpp.

const IntelibTypeId& SExpression::TermType (   )  const [inherited]

Actual S-expression type. Definition at line 195 of file sexpress.hpp. Referenced by SReference::DynamicCastGetPtr(), SchReference::IsEql(), LReference::IsEql(), SReference::SimpleCastGetPtr(), SchReference::TextRepresentation(), and LReference::TextRepresentation().

bool SExpression::IsChangeable (   )  const [inherited]

Can it be changed during the lifetime of the object? Definition at line 198 of file sexpress.hpp. References IntelibTypeId::IsChangeable().

virtual SExpression* SExpression::Clone (   )  const [virtual, inherited]

Clone a changeable object. The method should return the pointer created with new Note: It can (and should) return null pointer for non-changeables Warning: This method will hang your program being called for a looped data structure, including looped lists, a hash table which references a list in which it is a member, etc. If you create a changeable S-expression, you MUST make sure this method duplicates your object in such a way that nothing is shared between the old and new objects, that is, changing the new object can not in any way change the old object. Reimplemented in SExpressionBacklink, SExpressionCons, SExpressionHashTable, SExpressionRawBuffer, and SExpressionVector. Definition at line 214 of file sexpress.hpp.

virtual bool SExpression::SpecificEql (  const SExpression *   )  const [virtual, inherited]

Are the two objects EQL (while not EQ). This function is overriden by those SExpressions able to be EQL while being not EQ. Warning: It is not demanded that this function return true if it's arguments are the same SExpression (that is, they're EQ). It is only called by the EQL predicate implementation when it has been checked that the operands are not the same object. Reimplemented in SExpressionInt, SExpressionFloat, SExpressionChar, and SExpressionString. Definition at line 235 of file sexpress.hpp. Referenced by SchReference::IsEql(), and LReference::IsEql().

bool GarbageSafe::CanDie (   )  [protected, inherited]

Is it OK to delete the object now? Our children have no access to the private attribute RefCount and should never need it except when checking if the destruction is not an error. This solves the problem. Definition at line 53 of file refcount.hpp.

Member Data Documentation

IntelibTypeId SExpressionForm::TypeId [static, inherited]

Identifier for the set of all possible S-expressions. Note: It never can be the value of term_type_id because SExpression is an abstract class. SExpression::TypeId is used for unification, to identify the whole world of S-expressions. IntelibTypeId::IsSubtypeOf(SExpression::TypeId) is true for all objects of IntelibTypeId class. Guess why. Reimplemented from SExpression. Reimplemented in LExpressionMacro. Referenced by SExpressionForm::SExpressionForm().
