defclass-std - Standard class writing macro

Most times, when sketching out a new class, I often commit lots of typos and forget to add an :initform.

Also, the throw away class designed in the beginning may thrive and stay the same. If only there was a way to overcome these problems... There is!

This simple macro atempts to give a very DRY and succint interface to the common DEFCLASS form. The goal is to offer most of the capabilities of a normal DEFCLASS, only in a more compact way.

Everything compiles down to DEFCLASS.

Usage

* (ql:quickload :defclass-std)
; => (:DEFCLASS-STD)
* (import 'defclass-std:defclass/std)
; => T

A simple class defined with DEFCLASS/STD looks like this:

(defclass/std example ()
  ((slot1 slot2 slot3)))

; which expands to:

(DEFCLASS EXAMPLE ()
  ((SLOT1 :ACCESSOR SLOT1 :INITARG :SLOT1 :INITFORM NIL)
   (SLOT2 :ACCESSOR SLOT2 :INITARG :SLOT2 :INITFORM NIL)
   (SLOT3 :ACCESSOR SLOT3 :INITARG :SLOT3 :INITFORM NIL)))

As you can see, by default, the macro adds three options:

:accessor + the name of the slot
:initarg + the name of the slot
:initform nil

If you want to change the :initform value, you can use the :std option:

(defclass std-test ()
  ((slot :std 1)))

; expands to:

(DEFCLASS STD-TEST ()
  ((SLOT :ACCESSOR SLOT :INITARG :SLOT :INITFORM 1)))

If you want to omit the :initform option, you have two ways:

Use :std :unbound explicitly
Change the value of *default-std*. By default it is set to T, so, when the :std option is omitted, :initform is set to nil. When *default-std* is set to nil, :initform is omitted when :std is omitted.

(defclass/std omit-std ()
  ((slot :std :unbound)))

; which is (semantically) equivalent to:
(eval-when (:compile-toplevel :load-toplevel :execute)
  (setf *default-std* nil))
(defclass/std omit-std ()
  ((slot)))

; which (both) expands to:

(DEFCLASS OMIT-STD ()
  ((SLOT :ACCESSOR SLOT :INITARG :SLOT)))

:a, :i, :r and :w are connected: when all of them are omitted, :a and :i are inserted by default.

:a stands for :accessor, :i stands for :initarg, :r stands for :reader and :w stands for :writer.

If any of those is present, the default (:a and :i) is omitted.

(defclass/std airw ()
  ((slot1 slot2)
   (slot3 slot4 :r)
   (slot5 :w)
   (slot6 :a)
   (slot7 :ri)))

; which expands to:

(DEFCLASS AIRW ()
  ((SLOT1 :ACCESSOR SLOT1 :INITARG :SLOT1 :INITFORM NIL)
   (SLOT2 :ACCESSOR SLOT2 :INITARG :SLOT2 :INITFORM NIL)
   (SLOT3 :READER SLOT3 :INITFORM NIL)
   (SLOT4 :READER SLOT4 :INITFORM NIL)
   (SLOT5 :WRITER SLOT5 :INITFORM NIL)
   (SLOT6 :ACCESSOR SLOT6 :INITFORM NIL)
   (SLOT7 :READER SLOT7 :INITARG :SLOT7 :INITFORM NIL)))

Note that slot7 has an :ri option. That's just :r and :i together.

If you want to use :r and :w together, use :a instead, or you'll get an error. The same stands for :a + :r and :a + :w.

You can choose to add the class name as a prefix for the acessor/reader/writer function. Just put :with or :with-prefix option.

(defclass/std example ()
  ((slot1 :with)
   (slot2)))

; which expands to:

(DEFCLASS WITH ()
  ((SLOT1 :ACCESSOR EXAMPLE-SLOT1 :INITARG :SLOT1 :INITFORM NIL)
   (SLOT2 :ACCESSOR SLOT2 :INITARG :SLOT2 :INITFORM NIL)))

To make a slot static (class-allocated), use :@@ or :static.

To declare the type of a slot or to add documentation to a slot, use :type and :doc, respectively.

For real quick, concise, dense and standard class definitions, use CLASS/STD:

(class/std example slot1 slot2 slot3)

; which expands to:

(DEFCLASS/STD EXAMPLE ()
  ((SLOT1 SLOT2 SLOT3)))

; which expands to:

(DEFCLASS EXAMPLE ()
  ((SLOT1 :ACCESSOR SLOT1 :INITARG :SLOT1 :INITFORM NIL)
   (SLOT2 :ACCESSOR SLOT2 :INITARG :SLOT2 :INITFORM NIL)
   (SLOT3 :ACCESSOR SLOT3 :INITARG :SLOT3 :INITFORM NIL)))

You can also add the prefix by default by changing the value of the *with-prefix* special variable (defaults to nil):

(eval-when (:compile-toplevel :load-toplevel :execute)
  (setf *with-prefix* t))
(defclass/std pre ()
  ((fix)))

; which expands to:

(DEFCLASS PRE ()
  ((FIX :ACCESSOR PRE-FIX :INITARG :FIX)))

Unknown keywords are left intact:

(defclass/std unknown ()
  ((slot :unknown :keywords)))

; which expands to:

(DEFCLASS UNKNOWN ()
  ((SLOT :ACCESSOR SLOT :INITARG :SLOT :INITFORM NIL :KEYWORDS :UNKNOWN)))


; Or, even using custom accessors:

(defclass/std unknown ()
  ((slot :unknown :wi :keywords)))

; which expands to:

(DEFCLASS UNKNOWN ()
  ((SLOT :WRITER SLOT :INITARG :SLOT :INITFORM NIL :KEYWORDS :UNKNOWN)))

Examples

(defclass/std computer (gadget)
  ((screen mouse keyboard :a :type string :with-prefix)
   (bluetooth touchpad :wi)
   (speaker microphone :r)
   (place :@@ :with :doc "Where it is" :r)
   (owner :static :std "Me" :w)))

  ; expands to:

(DEFCLASS COMPUTER (GADGET)
  ((SCREEN :ACCESSOR COMPUTER-SCREEN :INITFORM NIL :TYPE STRING)
   (MOUSE :ACCESSOR COMPUTER-MOUSE :INITFORM NIL :TYPE STRING)
   (KEYBOARD :ACCESSOR COMPUTER-KEYBOARD :INITFORM NIL :TYPE STRING)
   (BLUETOOTH :WRITER BLUETOOTH :INITARG :BLUETOOTH :INITFORM NIL)
   (TOUCHPAD :WRITER TOUCHPAD :INITARG :TOUCHPAD :INITFORM NIL)
   (SPEAKER :READER SPEAKER :INITFORM NIL)
   (MICROPHONE :READER MICROPHONE :INITFORM NIL)
   (PLACE :READER COMPUTER-PLACE :INITFORM NIL :ALLOCATION :CLASS
          :DOCUMENTATION "Where it is")
   (OWNER :WRITER OWNER :INITFORM "Me" :ALLOCATION :CLASS)))

Real life examples:

From cl-inflector:

(defclass language ()
  ((name :accessor name :initarg :name :initform nil)
   (plurals :accessor plurals :initarg :plurals :initform nil)

   (uncountables :accessor uncountables :initarg :uncountables :initform nil)
   (irregulars :accessor irregulars :initarg :irregulars :initform nil)))

; could be written:

(defclass/std language ()
  ((name plurals singulars uncountables irregulars)))

; or, using CLASS/STD:

(class/std language name plurals singulars uncountables irregulars)

      (acceptor :initarg :acceptor
                :accessor acceptor)))

; could be written (with *default-std* set to nil)
(defclass/std language ()
  ((server-name :type keyword)
   (acceptor)))

   (headers :initarg :headers :initform nil :reader route-headers)
   (variables :initarg :variables :initform nil)

From cl-hue:

   (effect :initarg :effect :accessor light-effect)
   (colormode :initarg :colormode :accessor light-colormode)

; could be written:
(defclass/std light ()
  ((bridge number type name modelid uniqueid swversion pointsymbol on brightness
           hue saturation xy ct alert effect colormode reachable
           :with-prefix :std :unbound)))

; or, using class/std:

(class/std light
  bridge number type name modelid uniqueid swversion pointsymbol on brightness
  hue saturation xy ct alert effect colormode reachable
  :std :unbound :with)

; or, with *default-std* set to nil and *with-prefix* set to t:

(class/std light
  bridge number type name modelid uniqueid swversion pointsymbol on brightness
  hue saturation xy ct alert effect colormode reachable)

There's a shortcut to setup a basic printing behaviour of a class, using printing-unreadably:

(printing-unreadably (field2 field3) (class/std myclass field1 field2 field3))

; which expands to:

(PROGN
  (CLASS/STD MYCLASS FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3)
  (DEFMETHOD PRINT-OBJECT ((MYCLASS MYCLASS) #:STREAM1722)
    (PRINT-UNREADABLE-OBJECT (MYCLASS #:STREAM1722 :TYPE T :IDENTITY T)
      (FORMAT #:STREAM1722 "FIELD2: ~s, FIELD3: ~s"
              (FIELD2 MYCLASS) (FIELD3 MYCLASS)))))

Most times, when sketching out a new class, I often commit lots of typos and forget to add an ‘:initform‘.

Also, the throw away class designed in the beginning may thrive and stay the same. If only there was a way to overcome these problems... There is!

This simple macro atempts to give a very DRY and succint interface to the common ‘DEFCLASS‘ form. The goal is to offer most of the capabilities of a normal ‘DEFCLASS‘, only in a more compact way.

Everything compiles down to ‘DEFCLASS‘.

## Usage
“‘lisp
* (ql:quickload :defclass-std)
; => (:DEFCLASS-STD)
* (import ’defclass-std:defclass/std)
; => T
“‘

A simple class defined with ‘DEFCLASS/STD‘ looks like this:
“‘lisp
(defclass/std example ()
((slot1 slot2 slot3)))

; which expands to:

(DEFCLASS EXAMPLE ()
((SLOT1 :ACCESSOR SLOT1 :INITARG :SLOT1 :INITFORM NIL)
(SLOT2 :ACCESSOR SLOT2 :INITARG :SLOT2 :INITFORM NIL)
(SLOT3 :ACCESSOR SLOT3 :INITARG :SLOT3 :INITFORM NIL)))
“‘
As you can see, by default, the macro adds three options:
1. ‘:accessor‘ + the name of the slot
2. ‘:initarg‘ + the name of the slot
3. ‘:initform nil‘

If you want to change the ‘:initform‘ value, you can use the ‘:std‘ option:
“‘lisp
(defclass std-test ()
((slot :std 1)))

; expands to:

(DEFCLASS STD-TEST ()
((SLOT :ACCESSOR SLOT :INITARG :SLOT :INITFORM 1)))
“‘

If you want to omit the ‘:initform‘ option, you have two ways:
1. Use ‘:std :unbound‘ explicitly
2. Change the value of ‘*default-std*‘. By default it is set to ‘T‘, so, when the ‘:std‘ option is omitted, ‘:initform‘ is set to nil. When ‘*default-std*‘ is set to nil, ‘:initform‘ is omitted when ‘:std‘ is omitted.
“‘lisp
(defclass/std omit-std ()
((slot :std :unbound)))

; which is (semantically) equivalent to:
(eval-when (:compile-toplevel :load-toplevel :execute)
(setf *default-std* nil))
(defclass/std omit-std ()
((slot)))

; which (both) expands to:

(DEFCLASS OMIT-STD ()
((SLOT :ACCESSOR SLOT :INITARG :SLOT)))
“‘

‘:a‘, ‘:i‘, ‘:r‘ and ‘:w‘ are connected: when all of them are omitted, ‘:a‘ and ‘:i‘ are inserted by default.

‘:a‘ stands for ‘:accessor‘, ‘:i‘ stands for ‘:initarg‘, ‘:r‘ stands for ‘:reader‘ and ‘:w‘ stands for ‘:writer‘.

If any of those is present, the default (‘:a‘ and ‘:i‘) is omitted.
“‘lisp
(defclass/std airw ()
((slot1 slot2)
(slot3 slot4 :r)
(slot5 :w)
(slot6 :a)
(slot7 :ri)))

; which expands to:

(DEFCLASS AIRW ()
((SLOT1 :ACCESSOR SLOT1 :INITARG :SLOT1 :INITFORM NIL)
(SLOT2 :ACCESSOR SLOT2 :INITARG :SLOT2 :INITFORM NIL)
(SLOT3 :READER SLOT3 :INITFORM NIL)
(SLOT4 :READER SLOT4 :INITFORM NIL)
(SLOT5 :WRITER SLOT5 :INITFORM NIL)
(SLOT6 :ACCESSOR SLOT6 :INITFORM NIL)
(SLOT7 :READER SLOT7 :INITARG :SLOT7 :INITFORM NIL)))
“‘
Note that slot7 has an ‘:ri‘ option. That’s just ‘:r‘ and ‘:i‘ together.

If you want to use ‘:r‘ and ‘:w‘ together, use ‘:a‘ instead, or you’ll get an error. The same stands for ‘:a‘ + ‘:r‘ and ‘:a‘ + ‘:w‘.

You can choose to add the class name as a prefix for the acessor/reader/writer function. Just put ‘:with‘ or ‘:with-prefix‘ option.

“‘lisp
(defclass/std example ()
((slot1 :with)
(slot2)))

; which expands to:

(DEFCLASS WITH ()
((SLOT1 :ACCESSOR EXAMPLE-SLOT1 :INITARG :SLOT1 :INITFORM NIL)
(SLOT2 :ACCESSOR SLOT2 :INITARG :SLOT2 :INITFORM NIL)))
“‘

To make a slot static (class-allocated), use ‘:@@‘ or ‘:static‘.

To declare the type of a slot or to add documentation to a slot, use ‘:type‘ and ‘:doc‘, respectively.

For real quick, concise, dense and standard class definitions, use ‘CLASS/STD‘:
“‘lisp
(class/std example slot1 slot2 slot3)

; which expands to:

(DEFCLASS/STD EXAMPLE ()
((SLOT1 SLOT2 SLOT3)))

; which expands to:

(DEFCLASS EXAMPLE ()
((SLOT1 :ACCESSOR SLOT1 :INITARG :SLOT1 :INITFORM NIL)
(SLOT2 :ACCESSOR SLOT2 :INITARG :SLOT2 :INITFORM NIL)
(SLOT3 :ACCESSOR SLOT3 :INITARG :SLOT3 :INITFORM NIL)))
“‘

You can also add the prefix by default by changing the value of the ‘*with-prefix*‘ special variable (defaults to ‘nil‘):
“‘lisp
(eval-when (:compile-toplevel :load-toplevel :execute)
(setf *with-prefix* t))
(defclass/std pre ()
((fix)))

; which expands to:

(DEFCLASS PRE ()
((FIX :ACCESSOR PRE-FIX :INITARG :FIX)))
“‘

Unknown keywords are left intact:
“‘lisp
(defclass/std unknown ()
((slot :unknown :keywords)))

; which expands to:

(DEFCLASS UNKNOWN ()
((SLOT :ACCESSOR SLOT :INITARG :SLOT :INITFORM NIL :KEYWORDS :UNKNOWN)))

; Or, even using custom accessors:

(defclass/std unknown ()
((slot :unknown :wi :keywords)))

; which expands to:

(DEFCLASS UNKNOWN ()
((SLOT :WRITER SLOT :INITARG :SLOT :INITFORM NIL :KEYWORDS :UNKNOWN)))
“‘
## Examples

“‘lisp
(defclass/std computer (gadget)
((screen mouse keyboard :a :type string :with-prefix)
(bluetooth touchpad :wi)
(speaker microphone :r)
(place :@@ :with :doc "Where it is" :r)
(owner :static :std "Me" :w)))

; expands to:

(DEFCLASS COMPUTER (GADGET)
((SCREEN :ACCESSOR COMPUTER-SCREEN :INITFORM NIL :TYPE STRING)
(MOUSE :ACCESSOR COMPUTER-MOUSE :INITFORM NIL :TYPE STRING)
(KEYBOARD :ACCESSOR COMPUTER-KEYBOARD :INITFORM NIL :TYPE STRING)

There’s a shortcut to setup a basic printing behaviour of a class, using ‘printing-unreadably‘:
“‘lisp
(printing-unreadably (field2 field3) (class/std myclass field1 field2 field3))

; which expands to:

(PROGN
(CLASS/STD MYCLASS FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3)
(DEFMETHOD PRINT-OBJECT ((MYCLASS MYCLASS) #:STREAM1722)
(PRINT-UNREADABLE-OBJECT (MYCLASS #:STREAM1722 :TYPE T :IDENTITY T)
(FORMAT #:STREAM1722 "FIELD2: ~s, FIELD3: ~s"
(FIELD2 MYCLASS) (FIELD3 MYCLASS)))))

6 Definitions

Definitions are sorted by export status, category, package, and then by lexicographic order.

6.1 Exported definitions

6.1.1 Special variables

Special Variable: *default-std*

Special var that changes the behaviour of the DEFCLASS/STD macro. If true, adds a :initform nil by default to every field, when unespecified. If false, adds nothing.

Package: defclass-std
Source: defclass-std.lisp (file)

Special Variable: *with-prefix*

Special var that changes the behaviour of the DEFCLASS/STD macro. If tru, adds the class name as a prefix to every accessor/reader/writer function. If false, without the :with/:with-prefix slot option, adds nothing.

Package: defclass-std
Source: defclass-std.lisp (file)

6.1.2 Macros

Macro: class/std NAME &body DEFAULTED-SLOTS

Shortcut macro to the DEFCLASS/STD macro.

Package: defclass-std
Source: defclass-std.lisp (file)

Macro: defclass/std NAME DIRECT-SUPERCLASSES DIRECT-SLOTS &rest OPTIONS

Shortcut macro to the DEFCLASS macro. See README for syntax and usage.

Package: defclass-std
Source: defclass-std.lisp (file)

Macro: printing-unreadably FIELDS-LIST CLASS-STD-FORM &key TYPE IDENTITY

Automatically generates the unreadable printing boiler plate to print classes and its fields (from FIELDS-LIST).

Package: defclass-std
Source: defclass-std.lisp (file)

6.2 Internal definitions

6.2.1 Special variables

Special Variable: *default-added-keywords*

Default abbreviated keywords added when none is found.

All possible combinations of :a, :i, :r and :w.

Package: defclass-std
Source: defclass-std.lisp (file)

Special Variable: *paired-keywords*

Package: defclass-std
Source: defclass-std.lisp (file)

Special Variable: *standalone-keywords*

Package: defclass-std
Source: defclass-std.lisp (file)

6.2.2 Functions

Function: check-for-repeated-keywords LINE

Verifies if keyword options were repeated. Mainly useful for avoiding things like (:A :AI) together, or (:R :W) instead of (:A).

Package: defclass-std
Source: defclass-std.lisp (file)

Function: replace-keywords LINE PREFIX

Receives a list of slots with keywords and returns a list of lists. Each sublist is a single slot, with all the options appended at the end.

Package: defclass-std
Source: defclass-std.lisp (file)
