NAME

DESCRIPTION
Implements an instance of a class.
Functions
void init()- Raises an exception; you can only instantiate objects from a class.
void init_pmc(PMC *class)- Raises an exception; you can only instantiate objects from a class.
void destroy()- Free the object's underlying struct.
STRING *name()- Returns the fully qualified name of the object's class.
void mark()- Mark any referenced strings and PMCs.
PMC *get_attr_str(STRING *name)- Gets the value of an attribute for this object. Will find the first attribute of the given name walking up the inheritance tree.
PMC *get_attr_keyed(PMC *key, STRING *name)- Gets the value of an attribute for this object. Will only look for attributes defined in the parent identified by the given key.
void set_attr_str(STRING *name, PMC *value)- Sets the value of an attribute for this object. Will set the first attribute of the given name walking up the inheritance tree.
void set_attr_keyed(PMC *key, STRING *name, PMC *value)- Sets the value of an attribute for this object. Will only set attributes defined in the parent identified by the given key.
PMC *find_method(STRING *name)- Queries this object's class to find the method with the given name.
PMC *get_class()- Get the class PMC representing the class that this object is an instance of.
INTVAL can(STRING *method_name)- Returns 0 if the class does not have a method with the given name and a non-zero value if it does.
INTVAL isa_pmc(PMC *classname)- Returns whether the object's class is or inherits from
*classname. INTVAL isa(STRING *classname)- Returns whether the class is or inherits from
*classname. INTVAL does(STRING *role_name)- Returns whether the object's class does the role with name
*role_name. INTVAL does_pmc(PMC *role)- Returns whether the object's class does
*role. opcode_t *invoke(void *next)- Invokes the object (if this vtable function is overridden).
INTVAL type()- Returns the integer type of the object's class.
PMC *clone()- Creates a clone of the object.
void visit(visit_info *info)- This is used by freeze/thaw to visit the contents of the object.
*infois the visit info, (see include/parrot/pmc_freeze.h).void thaw(visit_info *info)- Used to unarchive the object.
void thawfinish(visit_info *info)- Called after the object has been thawed.
PMC *share_ro()- Used to mark a PMC as read-only shared.
void morph(INTVAL type)- Changes the PMC to a PMC of a new type
