public final class MultiFnWithHierarchy
extends clojure.lang.AFn
implements MultiFn

An implementation of MultiFn that is (mostly) backwards compatible with clojure.lang.MultiFn.

Semantic changes:

1. Most API methods here throw IllegalArgumentException if the dispatch value(s) are not 'legal'. This is the most dubious of the changes I've made, and most likely to cause problems to anyone who wants to migrate from clojure.lang.MultiFn.
   I would very much appreciate feedback on this issue.
   The Clojure version permits defining methods with anything as the dispatch value, but only supports inheritance when the dispatch values are namespace-qualified instances of clojure.lang.Named, classes, or an IPersistentVector containing legal dispatch values.
2. Make MultiFn.preferMethod(Object,Object) transitive:
   I believe f.preferMethod(a,b) and f.preferMethod(b,c) should imply f.preferMethod(a,c), but that's not not true in clojure.lang.MultiFn.prefers(x,y).
3. The logic in clojure.lang.MultiFn.prefers(x,y) appears to imply that f.preferMethod(x,ancestorOfY) implies f.preferMethod(x,y). This is not what I would expect.
4. clojure.lang.MultFn.prefers() ignores the multimethod's hierarchy, so behavior is different between multimethods that use global-hierarchy vs local. Changed to explicitly use the local hierarchy in preference evaluation. See CLJ-2234.

Performance changes:

1. Replace persistent data structures with simple HashMaps, etc., requiring some discipline to use mutable objects as immutable. Eventually, should replace with minimal immutable version.
2. Permit Signature as a dispatch value.

Method Detail

isLegalDispatchValue

public final boolean isLegalDispatchValue(java.lang.Object x)

Description copied from interface: MultiFn

Is x a legal dispatch value for this MultiFn?

For performance reasons, some implementations of MultiFn may restrict kinds of dispatch values they support.

Note: 'Legal' means it is possible to define methods for x, not that one has already been defined.

Specified by:

isLegalDispatchValue in interface MultiFn

getMethodTable

public final clojure.lang.IPersistentMap getMethodTable()

Description copied from interface: MultiFn

Return the table of defined methods, a map from dispatch values to functions.

Specified by:

getMethodTable in interface MultiFn

Returns:

an instance of clojure.lang.IPersistentMap

getPreferTable

public final clojure.lang.IPersistentMap getPreferTable()

Description copied from interface: MultiFn

Return the table of explicit method preferences, a map from dispatch value to set of dispatch values, with the interpretation a method defined for the key dispatch value is preferred to methods defined for any of the dispatch values in the set.

Specified by:

getPreferTable in interface MultiFn

Returns:

an instance of clojure.lang.IPersistentMap

reset

public final MultiFn reset()

Description copied from interface: MultiFn

Clear the MultiFn, removing all defined methods and preferences, and emptying the cache.

Specified by:

                               java.lang.Object y)

Description copied from interface: MultiFn

Is a method defined for x preferred to a method defined for y?

Specified by:

dominates in interface MultiFn

getMethod

public final clojure.lang.IFn getMethod(java.lang.Object x)

Description copied from interface: MultiFn
