=head1 NAME
InsideOutClass - A set of example metaclasses which implement the Inside-Out technique
=head1 SYNOPSIS
package Foo;
use metaclass (
':attribute_metaclass' => 'InsideOutClass::Attribute',
':instance_metaclass' => 'InsideOutClass::Instance'
);
__PACKAGE__->meta->add_attribute('foo' => (
reader => 'get_foo',
writer => 'set_foo'
));
sub new {
my $class = shift;
$class->meta->new_object(@_);
}
# now you can just use the class as normal
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is a set of example metaclasses which implement the Inside-Out
class technique. What follows is a brief explaination of the code
found in this module.
We must create a subclass of B<Class::MOP::Instance> and override
the slot operations. This requires
overloading C<get_slot_value>, C<set_slot_value>, C<slot_initialized>, and
C<initialize_slot>, as well as their inline counterparts. Additionally we
overload C<add_slot> in order to initialize the global hash containing the
actual slot values.
And that is pretty much all. Of course I am ignoring need for
inside-out objects to be C<DESTROY>-ed, and some other details as
well (threading, etc), but this is an example. A real implementation is left as
an exercise to the reader.
