PCL doesn't currently support CLOS's method combination. However, I'd
like to use another method combination type besides the standard one.
Questions :
- Will PCL support method combination anytime soon ? When ?
- Has anyone tried to implement this in PCL already ?
Since those are probably both NO, I'm willing to dive in and try to
implement it but I'd like a little info/help.
My strategy is to add a method-combination slot to the
standard-generic-function class (in defs.lisp) and then modify the
appropriate function(s) in combin.lisp to generate the appropriate code.
A cursory reading of combin.lisp suggests the only function I need modify
is COMPUTE-EFFECTIVE-METHOD-BODY. Is this reasonable ? What is likely to
lose ? [Of course if this wins, there will be free code for all. :-)]
Thanks,
jim
