6.1 Public Interface


6.1.1 Macros

Macro: define-structure-property-list (structure-type accessor)

Declares support for a property list slot in the given structure type. For this to work, the given ‘accessor’ must be a ‘setf’-able accessor for some slot of type ‘structure-type’, that should be declared to have type ‘t’ or ‘list’. E.g.:

(defstruct window
(plist nil)
(parent nil)
(title ’window))

(define-structure-property-list window window-plist)

A property list slot should usually never be assigned to directly, since that may break the atomic update feature. Always manipulate the contents of the property list slot via the functions provided by this library.

6.1.2 Ordinary functions

Function: add-observer-to-chain (observer chain &key test key identity)
Package

darts.lib.tools.observables.

Source

observable.lisp.

Function: delete-properties (object &optional which)

Removes all properties listed in ‘which’ from ‘object”s property list. If ‘which’ is omitted or ‘t’ (the default) removes all properties. Otherwise, it must be a list containing the indicators of all properties that should be removed.

This function returns a plist of all key/value pairs that have been removed by the call.

Package

darts.lib.tools.properties.

Source

properties.lisp.

Function: delete-properties-if (predicate object)

Deletes all properties from the property list of ‘object’ that satisfy the predictate function ‘predicate’. The predicate must be a function of two arguments returning a boolean value. The first argument is the property’s key, and the second argument is the property’s value.

This function returns a plist of all key/value pairs, that have been removed by the call.

Package

darts.lib.tools.properties.

Source

properties.lisp.

Function: delete-properties-if-not (predicate object)

Deletes all properties from the property list of ‘object’ that
fail to satisfy the predictate function ‘predicate’. The predicate must be a function of two arguments returning a boolean value. The
first argument is the property’s key, and the second argument
is the property’s value.

This function returns a plist of all key/value pairs, that have been removed by the call.

Package

darts.lib.tools.properties.

Source

properties.lisp.

Function: delete-property (object indicator)

Delete the property named by ‘indicator’ from ‘object”s property list. Answers the value of the removed property as primary result. The secondary value is a boolean flag that indicates, whether the property has been found (and hence removed, ‘t’) or not (‘nil’).

Package

darts.lib.tools.properties.

Source

properties.lisp.

Function: ensure-property (object indicator constructor)

Makes sure, that ‘object’ has a property named ‘indicator’. If
such a property already exists, this function does nothing. Otherwise, the function calls the ‘constructor’ function to generate a value, and stores it as ‘indicator”s value in ‘object”s property list.

Note, that ‘constructor’ may be called multiple times, and should not have side-effects. Also, even if it is called, there are no guarantees, that any value returned by it gets actually installed in ‘object”s property list, since the call may lose the race with another thread.

This function returns the value found (or constructed) as primary result. The secondary result is ‘t’ if the property already existed, and ‘nil’ if it has been installed by the call.

Package

darts.lib.tools.properties.

Source

properties.lisp.

Function: make-observer-chain (&optional next)
Package

darts.lib.tools.observables.

Source

observable.lisp.

Function: map-over-properties (function object)

Applies ‘function’ to each property of ‘object’. The function receives the property indicator as first, and the associated values as second argument. The return value of the function is ignored. This function always returns ‘object’.

Package

darts.lib.tools.properties.

properties.lisp.

Function: notify-observers-in-chain (chain object event)

Function: observer-chain-p (object)
Package

darts.lib.tools.observables.

Source

observable.lisp.

Function: property-value (object indicator &optional default)

Answers the value of the property named by ‘indicator’ of the given ‘object’. If no matching property is found, answers ‘default’ instead. This function returns as secondary value a boolean flag, which indicates, whether the property was found or not.

Package

darts.lib.tools.properties.

Source

properties.lisp.

Function: (setf property-value) (object indicator &optional default)

Sets the value of the property named by ‘indicator’ of the given ‘object’ to ‘value’. The optional ‘default’ is ignored and taken only for compatibility with ‘object-property’.

Package

darts.lib.tools.properties.

Source

properties.lisp.

Function: remove-observer-from-chain (observer chain &key test key)
Package

darts.lib.tools.observables.

Source

6.1.3 Generic functions

Generic Function: add-observer (observer object &key test key identity)

Adds the given ‘observer‘ to the set of registered
event observers of ‘object‘, unless it is already present.

Package

darts.lib.tools.observables.

Source

observable.lisp.

Methods
Method: add-observer (observer (object observable) &key test key identity)
Generic Function: notify-observers (object event)

Notifies all registered event observers of ‘object‘ about the occurence of ‘event‘.

Package

darts.lib.tools.observables.

Source

observable.lisp.

Methods
Method: notify-observers ((object observable) event)
Generic Function: observe-event (observer object event)

Invoked in order to notify ‘observer‘, that the event described by ‘event‘ has happened with respect to ‘object‘.

Package

darts.lib.tools.observables.

Source

observable.lisp.

Methods
Method: observe-event ((observer function) object event)
Generic Function: parent-observer-chain (object)
Package

darts.lib.tools.observables.

Source

observable.lisp.

Methods
Method: parent-observer-chain (object)
Generic Function: property-list (object)

Answers the property list of ‘object’. The
result is a property list of th form

(indicator1 value1 indicator2 value2 ...)

i.e., a list, whose elements are pairs of keys and their associated values. The keys are always compared using ‘eql’. The caller must never modify the return value of this function.

Package

darts.lib.tools.properties.

Source

properties.lisp.

Methods
Method: property-list ((object property-support))
Generic Function: remove-observer (observer object &key test key)

Removes the given ‘observer‘ from the set of registered event observers of ‘object‘

Package

darts.lib.tools.observables.

Source

observable.lisp.

Methods
Method: remove-observer (observer (object observable) &key test key)
Generic Function: update-property-list (object modifier)

Modifies the property list of ‘object’ by applying
the function ‘modifier’ to the current property list, and storing the result as the new property list. On implementations, which support it, this should be an atomic update.

The ‘modifier’ function is not allowed to modify the list destructively.

The modifier function returns two values: the new property list as first, and some other value as second one. This function returns the value returned by the modifier as second result.

Package

darts.lib.tools.properties.

Source

properties.lisp.

Methods
Method: update-property-list ((object property-support) modifier)

6.1.4 Standalone methods

Method: print-object ((object observer-chain) stream)
Source

observable.lisp.

Method: shared-initialize :after ((object observable) slots &key)
Source

observable.lisp.

Method: shared-initialize :after ((object property-support) slots &key property-list)
Source

properties.lisp.


6.1.5 Classes

Class: observable
Package

darts.lib.tools.observables.

Source

observable.lisp.

Direct methods
Direct slots
Slot: observer-list-chain
Package

darts.lib.tools.

Class: property-support

Minimal mix-in class, which supports the object
annotation protocol. By mixing this class into a class hierarchy, all instances gain support for function ‘property’ and
all related functions. The property list is (re-) initializable; note, however, that the initarg is named ‘property-list’
as exported from this package, *not* by a keyword symbol.
The property lists of instances of this class are upated atomically.
