NAME

Class::MOP::Method::Constructor - Method Meta Object for constructors

SYNOPSIS

  use Class::MOP::Method::Constructor;

  my $constructor = Class::MOP::Method::Constructor->new(
      metaclass => $metaclass,
      options   => {
          debug => 1, # this is all for now
      },
  );

  # calling the constructor ...
  $constructor->body->execute($metaclass->name, %params);

DESCRIPTION

This is a subclass of Class::MOP::Method which deals with class constructors. This is used when making a class immutable to generate an optimized constructor.

METHODS

new (metaclass = $meta, options => \%options)>

options

This returns the options HASH which is passed into new.

associated_metaclass

This returns the metaclass which is passed into new.

attributes

This returns the list of attributes which are associated with the metaclass which is passed into new.

meta_instance

This returns the meta instance which is associated with the metaclass which is passed into new.

is_inline

This returns a boolean, but since constructors are very rarely not inlined, this always returns true for now.

can_be_inlined

This method always returns true in this class. It exists so that subclasses (like in Moose) can override and do some sort of checking to determine whether or not inlining the constructor is safe.

initialize_body

This creates the code reference for the constructor itself.
