260
261=head1 DESCRIPTION
262
263This is pragma to change Perl 5's standard method resolution order from depth-first left-to-right
264(a.k.a - pre-order) to the more sophisticated C3 method resolution order.
265
266=head2 What is C3?
267
268C3 is the name of an algorithm which aims to provide a sane method resolution order under multiple
269inheritence. It was first introduced in the langauge Dylan (see links in the L<SEE ALSO> section),
270and then later adopted as the prefered MRO (Method Resolution Order) for the new-style classes in
271Python 2.3. Most recently it has been adopted as the 'canonical' MRO for Perl 6 classes, and the
272default MRO for Parrot objects as well.
273
274=head2 How does C3 work.
275
276C3 works by always preserving local precendence ordering. This essentially means that no class will
277appear before any of it's subclasses. Take the classic diamond inheritence pattern for instance:
278
279 <A>
280 / \
281 <B> <C>
282 \ /
283 <D>
284
285The standard Perl 5 MRO would be (D, B, A, C). The result being that B<A> appears before B<C>, even
286though B<C> is the subclass of B<A>. The C3 MRO algorithm however, produces the following MRO
287(D, B, C, A), which does not have this same issue.
288
289This example is fairly trival, for more complex examples and a deeper explaination, see the links in
290the L<SEE ALSO> section.
291
292=head2 How does this module work?
293
294This module uses a technique similar to Perl 5's method caching. When C<Class::C3::initialize> is
295called, this module calculates the MRO of all the classes which called C<use Class::C3>. It then
296gathers information from the symbol tables of each of those classes, and builds a set of method
297aliases for the correct dispatch ordering. Once all these C3-based method tables are created, it
298then adds the method aliases into the local classes symbol table.
299
300The end result is actually classes with pre-cached method dispatch. However, this caching does not
301do well if you start changing your C<@ISA> or messing with class symbol tables, so you should consider
302your classes to be effectively closed. See the L<CAVEATS> section for more details.
303
304=head1 OPTIONAL LOWERCASE PRAGMA
305
306This release also includes an optional module B<c3> in the F<opt/> folder. I did not include this in
307the regular install since lowercase module names are considered I<"bad"> by some people. However I
308think that code looks much nicer like this:
309
310 package MyClass;
311 use c3;
312
313The the more clunky:
314
315 package MyClass;
316 use Class::C3;
317
318But hey, it's your choice, thats why it is optional.
319
320=head1 FUNCTIONS
321
322=over 4
323
324=item B<calculateMRO ($class)>
325
326Given a C<$class> this will return an array of class names in the proper C3 method resolution order.
327
328=item B<initialize>
329
330This B<must be called> to initalize the C3 method dispatch tables, this module B<will not work> if
331you do not do this. It is advised to do this as soon as possible B<after> loading any classes which
332use C3. Here is a quick code example:
333
334 package Foo;
335 use Class::C3;
336 # ... Foo methods here
337
338 package Bar;
339 use Class::C3;
340 use base 'Foo';
341 # ... Bar methods here
342
343 package main;
344
345 Class::C3::initialize(); # now it is safe to use Foo and Bar
346
347This function used to be called automatically for you in the INIT phase of the perl compiler, but
348that lead to warnings if this module was required at runtime. After discussion with my user base
349(the L<DBIx::Class> folks), we decided that calling this in INIT was more of an annoyance than a
350convience. I apologize to anyone this causes problems for (although i would very suprised if I had
351any other users other than the L<DBIx::Class> folks). The simplest solution of course is to define
352your own INIT method which calls this function.
353
354NOTE:
355
356If C<initialize> detects that C<initialize> has already been executed, it will L</uninitialize> and
357clear the MRO cache first.
358
359=item B<uninitialize>
360
361Calling this function results in the removal of all cached methods, and the restoration of the old Perl 5
362style dispatch order (depth-first, left-to-right).
363
364=item B<reinitialize>
365
366This is an alias for L</initialize> above.
367
368=back
369
370=head1 METHOD REDISPATCHING
371
372It is always useful to be able to re-dispatch your method call to the "next most applicable method". This
373module provides a pseudo package along the lines of C<SUPER::> or C<NEXT::> which will re-dispatch the
374method along the C3 linearization. This is best show with an examples.
375
376 # a classic diamond MI pattern ...
377 <A>
378 / \
379 <B> <C>
380 \ /
381 <D>
382
383 package A;
384 use c3;
385 sub foo { 'A::foo' }
386
387 package B;
388 use base 'A';
389 use c3;
390 sub foo { 'B::foo => ' . (shift)->next::method() }
391
392 package B;
393 use base 'A';
394 use c3;
395 sub foo { 'C::foo => ' . (shift)->next::method() }
396
397 package D;
398 use base ('B', 'C');
399 use c3;
400 sub foo { 'D::foo => ' . (shift)->next::method() }
401
402 print D->foo; # prints out "D::foo => B::foo => C::foo => A::foo"
403
404A few things to note. First, we do not require you to add on the method name to the C<next::method>
405call (this is unlike C<NEXT::> and C<SUPER::> which do require that). This helps to enforce the rule
406that you cannot dispatch to a method of a different name (this is how C<NEXT::> behaves as well).
407
408The next thing to keep in mind is that you will need to pass all arguments to C<next::method> it can
409not automatically use the current C<@_>.
410
411If C<next::method> cannot find a next method to re-dispatch the call to, it will throw an exception.
412You can use C<next::can> to see if C<next::method> will succeed before you call it like so:
413
414 $self->next::method(@_) if $self->next::can;
415
416Additionally, you can use C<maybe::next::method> as a shortcut to only call the next method if it exists.
417The previous example could be simply written as:
418
419 $self->maybe::next::method(@_);
420
421There are some caveats about using C<next::method>, see below for those.
422
423=head1 CAVEATS
424
425This module used to be labeled as I<experimental>, however it has now been pretty heavily tested by
426the good folks over at L<DBIx::Class> and I am confident this module is perfectly usable for
427whatever your needs might be.
428
429But there are still caveats, so here goes ...
430
431=over 4
432
433=item Use of C<SUPER::>.
434
435The idea of C<SUPER::> under multiple inheritence is ambigious, and generally not recomended anyway.
436However, it's use in conjuntion with this module is very much not recommended, and in fact very
437discouraged. The recommended approach is to instead use the supplied C<next::method> feature, see
438more details on it's usage above.
439
440=item Changing C<@ISA>.
441
442It is the author's opinion that changing C<@ISA> at runtime is pure insanity anyway. However, people
443do it, so I must caveat. Any changes to the C<@ISA> will not be reflected in the MRO calculated by this
444module, and therefor probably won't even show up. If you do this, you will need to call C<reinitialize>
445in order to recalulate B<all> method dispatch tables. See the C<reinitialize> documentation and an example
446in F<t/20_reinitialize.t> for more information.
447
448=item Adding/deleting methods from class symbol tables.
449
450This module calculates the MRO for each requested class by interogatting the symbol tables of said classes.
451So any symbol table manipulation which takes place after our INIT phase is run will not be reflected in
452the calculated MRO. Just as with changing the C<@ISA>, you will need to call C<reinitialize> for any
453changes you make to take effect.
454
455=item Calling C<next::method> from methods defined outside the class

457There is an edge case when using C<next::method> from within a subroutine which was created in a different
458module than the one it is called from. It sounds complicated, but it really isn't. Here is an example which
459will not work correctly:
460
461 *Foo::foo = sub { (shift)->next::method(@_) };
462
463The problem exists because the anonymous subroutine being assigned to the glob C<*Foo::foo> will show up
464in the call stack as being called C<__ANON__> and not C<foo> as you might expect. Since C<next::method>
465uses C<caller> to find the name of the method it was called in, it will fail in this case.
466
467But fear not, there is a simple solution. The module C<Sub::Name> will reach into the perl internals and
468assign a name to an anonymous subroutine for you. Simply do this:
469
470 use Sub::Name 'subname';
471 *Foo::foo = subname 'Foo::foo' => sub { (shift)->next::method(@_) };
472
473and things will Just Work. Of course this is not always possible to do, but to be honest, I just can't
474manage to find a workaround for it, so until someone gives me a working patch this will be a known
475limitation of this module.

479=head1 COMPATIBILITY
480
481If your software requires Perl 5.9.5 or higher, you do not need L<Class::C3>, you can simply C<use mro 'c3'>, and not worry about C<initialize()>, avoid some of the above caveats, and get the best possible performance. See L<mro> for more details.
482
483If your software is meant to work on earlier Perls, use L<Class::C3> as documented here. L<Class::C3> will detect Perl 5.9.5+ and take advantage of the core support when available.
484
485=head1 Class::C3::XS
486
487This module will load L<Class::C3::XS> if it's installed and you are running on a Perl version older than 5.9.5. Installing this is recommended when possible, as it results in significant performance improvements (but unlike the 5.9.5+ core support, it still has all of the same caveats as L<Class::C3>).
488
489=head1 CODE COVERAGE
490
491L<Devel::Cover> was reporting 94.4% overall test coverage earlier in this module's life. Currently, the test suite does things that break under coverage testing, but it is fair to assume the coverage is still close to that value.
