/*
  Classes and objects in C

  This file makes it easy to implement classes and objects in C. To
  define a class we need to perform three steps:

  Define the class prototype. This is suitable to go in a .h file for
  general use by other code.

  Note all classes extend Object.

  Example::

CLASS(Foo, Object)
    int x;
    int y;

    //This declares a method of a class Foo, called Con returning a
    //Foo object. In other words it is a constructor.
    Foo METHOD(Foo, Con, int x, int y);
    int METHOD(Foo, add);

END_CLASS

Now we need to define some functions for the constructor and
methods. Note that the constuctor is using ALLOCATE_CLASS to allocate
space for the class structures. Callers may call with self==NULL to
force allocation of a new class. Note that we do not call the
constructor of our superclass implicitly here. (Calling the sperclass
constructor is optional, but ALLOCATE_CLASS is not.).

Foo Foo_Con(Foo self,int x,int y) {
  self->x = x;
  self->y = y;

  return self;
};

int Foo_add(Foo this) {
  return (this->x   this->y);
};

Now we need to define the Virtual function table - These are those
functions and attributes which are defined in this class (over its
superclass). Basically these are all those things in the class
definition above, with real function names binding them. (Note that by
convention we preceed the name of the method with the name of the
class):

VIRTUAL(Foo,Object)
   VMETHOD(Con) = Foo_Con;
   VMETHOD(add) = Foo_add;
END_VIRTUAL

We can use inheritance too:

CLASS(Bar, Foo)
   Bar METHOD(Bar, Con, char *something)
END_CLASS

Here Bar extends Foo and defines a new constructor with a different prototype:

VIRTUAL(Bar,Foo)
   VMETHOD(Con) = Bar_Con
END_VIRTUAL

If there is a function which expects a Foo, we will need to over ride
the Foo constructor in the Bar, so the function will not see the
difference between the Foo and Bar:

CLASS(Bar,Foo)
  int bar_attr;
END_CLASS

Foo Bar_Con(Foo self, int x, int y) {
...
}

VIRTUAL(Bar, Foo)
  VMETHOD(super.Con) = Bar_Con
END_VIRTUAL

Note that in this case we are over riding the Con method defined in
Foo while creating derived Bar classes. The notation in the VIRTUAL
table is to use super.Con, because Foo's Con method (the one we are
over riding), can be located by using super.Con inside a Bar object.

Imagine now that in Bar_Con we wish to use methods and attributes
defined in Bar. Since Bar_Con over rides Bar's base class (Foo) it
must have the prototype described above. Since self is of type Foo its
impossible to use self->bar_attr (There is no bar_attr in Foo - its in
Bar).

In this case, we need to make a type cast to convice C that self is
actually a Bar not a Foo:

Foo Bar_Con(Foo self, int x, int y) {
   Bar this = (Bar)self;

   this->bar_attr=1
};

This allows us to access bars attributes.

This is a general oddity with C style classes, which C   and Java
hide. In C we must always know which class defines which method and
attribute and reference the right class's method. So for example if we
want to call a Bar's add method:

Bar a;

a->super.add()

because add is defined in Bar's super class (Foo). Constract this with
C   or Java which hide where methods are defined and simply make all
methods appear like they were defined inside the derived class. This
takes a while to get used to but the compiler will ensure that the
references are correct - otherwise things will generally not compile
properly.

This difference can be used for good and bad. It is possible in C to
call the base class's version of the method at any time (despite the
fact it was over ridden).

For example:

CLASS(Derived, Foo)
      int METHOD(Derived, add);
END_CLASS

VIRTUAL(Derived, Foo)
   VMETHOD(add) = Derived_add
END_VIRTUAL

If d is a Derived object, we can call Foo's version like this:
d->super.add()

But Derived's version is accessed by:
d->add()

Sometimes a derived class may want to over ride the base class's
methods as well, in this case the VIRTUAL section should over ride
super.add as well.
