NAME 
pmc/luabase.pmc - Lua abstract base class
DESCRIPTION
LuaBase provides an abstract base class for some Lua types.
Methods
void morph(INTVAL type)- Morphs the scalar to the specified type.
PMC *clone()- Creates and returns a clone of the scalar.
INTVAL get_bool()- Returns
true. PMC *get_pmc_keyed (PMC *key)- Throws an exception.
void set_bool(INTVAL value)void set_pmc_keyed (PMC *key, PMC *value)- Throws an exception.
PMC *neg (PMC *dest)void i_neg()- Throws an exception.
PMC *logical_not(PMC *dest)- Common implementation (use
get_bool&set_bool) INTVAL defined()- Always returns true.
void *invoke(void *next)- Throws an exception.
non-Vtable Methods
void add(PMC *value, PMC *dest)void i_add (PMC *value)void subtract(PMC *value, PMC *dest)void i_substract (PMC *value)void multiply(PMC *value, PMC *dest)void i_multiply (PMC *value)void divide(PMC *value, PMC *dest)void i_divide (PMC *value)PMC *modulus (PMC *value, PMC *dest)void i_modulus (PMC *value)PMC *pow (PMC *value, PMC *dest)void i_pow (PMC *value)PMC *concatenate (PMC *value, PMC *dest)void i_concatenate (PMC *value)- Throws an exception.
Specific Methods
PMC *len()PMC *tonumber()- Returns
nil. PMC *tostring()- Return a Lua
string. - Common implementation (use
__tostringorget_string). PMC *find_metamethod(STRING *method_name)- Looks up the method for
*method_name. PMC *get_metatable()
