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 ...
  $constructor->body->($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.

initialize_body

This creates the code reference for the constructor itself.

Method Generators

generate_constructor_method

generate_constructor_method_inline
