=head1 NAME

Class::C3 - A pragma to use the C3 method resolution order algortihm

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    # NOTE - DO NOT USE Class::C3 directly as a user, use MRO::Compat instead!
    package A;
    use Class::C3;
    sub hello { 'A::hello' }

    package B;
    use base 'A';
    use Class::C3;

    package C;
    use base 'A';
    use Class::C3;

    sub hello { 'C::hello' }

    package D;
    use base ('B', 'C');
    use Class::C3;

    # Classic Diamond MI pattern
    #    <A>
    #   /   \
    # <B>   <C>
    #   \   /
    #    <D>

    package main;

    # initializez the C3 module
    # (formerly called in INIT)
    Class::C3::initialize();

    print join ', ' => Class::C3::calculateMRO('Diamond_D') # prints D, B, C, A

    print D->hello() # prints 'C::hello' instead of the standard p5 'A::hello'

    D->can('hello')->();          # can() also works correctly
    UNIVERSAL::can('D', 'hello'); # as does UNIVERSAL::can()

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is pragma to change Perl 5's standard method resolution order from depth-first left-to-right
(a.k.a - pre-order) to the more sophisticated C3 method resolution order.

B<NOTE:> YOU SHOULD NOT USE THIS MODULE DIRECTLY - The feature provided
is integrated into perl version >= 5.9.5, and you should use L<MRO::Compat>
instead, which will use the core implementation in newer perls, but fallback
to using this implementation on older perls.

=head2 What is C3?

C3 is the name of an algorithm which aims to provide a sane method resolution order under multiple
inheritance. It was first introduced in the langauge Dylan (see links in the L<SEE ALSO> section),
and then later adopted as the preferred MRO (Method Resolution Order) for the new-style classes in
Python 2.3. Most recently it has been adopted as the 'canonical' MRO for Perl 6 classes, and the
default MRO for Parrot objects as well.

=head2 How does C3 work.

C3 works by always preserving local precedence ordering. This essentially means that no class will
appear before any of its subclasses. Take the classic diamond inheritance pattern for instance:

     <A>
    /   \
  <B>   <C>
    \   /
     <D>

The standard Perl 5 MRO would be (D, B, A, C). The result being that B<A> appears before B<C>, even
though B<C> is the subclass of B<A>. The C3 MRO algorithm however, produces the following MRO
(D, B, C, A), which does not have this same issue.

This example is fairly trival, for more complex examples and a deeper explaination, see the links in
the L<SEE ALSO> section.

=head2 How does this module work?

This module uses a technique similar to Perl 5's method caching. When C<Class::C3::initialize> is
called, this module calculates the MRO of all the classes which called C<use Class::C3>. It then
gathers information from the symbol tables of each of those classes, and builds a set of method
aliases for the correct dispatch ordering. Once all these C3-based method tables are created, it
then adds the method aliases into the local classes symbol table.

The end result is actually classes with pre-cached method dispatch. However, this caching does not
do well if you start changing your C<@ISA> or messing with class symbol tables, so you should consider
your classes to be effectively closed. See the L<CAVEATS> section for more details.

=head1 OPTIONAL LOWERCASE PRAGMA

This release also includes an optional module B<c3> in the F<opt/> folder. I did not include this in
the regular install since lowercase module names are considered I<"bad"> by some people. However I
think that code looks much nicer like this:

  package MyClass;
  use c3;

The the more clunky:

  package MyClass;
  use Class::C3;

But hey, it's your choice, thats why it is optional.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=over 4

=item B<calculateMRO ($class)>

Given a C<$class> this will return an array of class names in the proper C3 method resolution order.

=item B<initialize>

This B<must be called> to initialize the C3 method dispatch tables, this module B<will not work> if
you do not do this. It is advised to do this as soon as possible B<after> loading any classes which
use C3. Here is a quick code example:

  package Foo;
  use Class::C3;
  # ... Foo methods here

  package Bar;
  use Class::C3;
  use base 'Foo';
  # ... Bar methods here

  package main;

  Class::C3::initialize(); # now it is safe to use Foo and Bar

This function used to be called automatically for you in the INIT phase of the perl compiler, but
that lead to warnings if this module was required at runtime. After discussion with my user base
(the L<DBIx::Class> folks), we decided that calling this in INIT was more of an annoyance than a
convience. I apologize to anyone this causes problems for (although i would very suprised if I had
any other users other than the L<DBIx::Class> folks). The simplest solution of course is to define
your own INIT method which calls this function.

NOTE:

If C<initialize> detects that C<initialize> has already been executed, it will L</uninitialize> and
clear the MRO cache first.

=item B<uninitialize>

Calling this function results in the removal of all cached methods, and the restoration of the old Perl 5
style dispatch order (depth-first, left-to-right).

=item B<reinitialize>

This is an alias for L</initialize> above.

=back

=head1 METHOD REDISPATCHING

It is always useful to be able to re-dispatch your method call to the "next most applicable method". This
module provides a pseudo package along the lines of C<SUPER::> or C<NEXT::> which will re-dispatch the
method along the C3 linearization. This is best shown with an example.

  # a classic diamond MI pattern ...
  #    <A>
  #   /   \
  # <B>   <C>
  #   \   /
  #    <D>

  package A;
  use c3;
  sub foo { 'A::foo' }

  package B;
  use base 'A';
  use c3;
  sub foo { 'B::foo => ' . (shift)->next::method() }

  package C;
  use base 'A';
  use c3;
  sub foo { 'C::foo => ' . (shift)->next::method() }

  package D;
  use base ('B', 'C');
  use c3;
  sub foo { 'D::foo => ' . (shift)->next::method() }

  print D->foo; # prints out "D::foo => B::foo => C::foo => A::foo"

A few things to note. First, we do not require you to add on the method name to the C<next::method>
call (this is unlike C<NEXT::> and C<SUPER::> which do require that). This helps to enforce the rule
that you cannot dispatch to a method of a different name (this is how C<NEXT::> behaves as well).

The next thing to keep in mind is that you will need to pass all arguments to C<next::method>.  It can
not automatically use the current C<@_>.

If C<next::method> cannot find a next method to re-dispatch the call to, it will throw an exception.
You can use C<next::can> to see if C<next::method> will succeed before you call it like so:

  $self->next::method(@_) if $self->next::can;

Additionally, you can use C<maybe::next::method> as a shortcut to only call the next method if it exists.
The previous example could be simply written as:

  $self->maybe::next::method(@_);

There are some caveats about using C<next::method>, see below for those.

=head1 CAVEATS

This module used to be labeled as I<experimental>, however it has now been pretty heavily tested by
the good folks over at L<DBIx::Class> and I am confident this module is perfectly usable for
whatever your needs might be.

But there are still caveats, so here goes ...

=over 4

=item Use of C<SUPER::>.

The idea of C<SUPER::> under multiple inheritance is ambiguous, and generally not recomended anyway.
However, its use in conjuntion with this module is very much not recommended, and in fact very
discouraged. The recommended approach is to instead use the supplied C<next::method> feature, see
more details on its usage above.

=item Changing C<@ISA>.

It is the author's opinion that changing C<@ISA> at runtime is pure insanity anyway. However, people
do it, so I must caveat. Any changes to the C<@ISA> will not be reflected in the MRO calculated by this
module, and therefore probably won't even show up. If you do this, you will need to call C<reinitialize>
in order to recalulate B<all> method dispatch tables. See the C<reinitialize> documentation and an example
in F<t/20_reinitialize.t> for more information.

=item Adding/deleting methods from class symbol tables.

This module calculates the MRO for each requested class by interogating the symbol tables of said classes.
So any symbol table manipulation which takes place after our INIT phase is run will not be reflected in
the calculated MRO. Just as with changing the C<@ISA>, you will need to call C<reinitialize> for any
changes you make to take effect.

=item Calling C<next::method> from methods defined outside the class

There is an edge case when using C<next::method> from within a subroutine which was created in a different
module than the one it is called from. It sounds complicated, but it really isn't. Here is an example which
will not work correctly:

  *Foo::foo = sub { (shift)->next::method(@_) };

The problem exists because the anonymous subroutine being assigned to the glob C<*Foo::foo> will show up
in the call stack as being called C<__ANON__> and not C<foo> as you might expect. Since C<next::method>
uses C<caller> to find the name of the method it was called in, it will fail in this case.

But fear not, there is a simple solution. The module C<Sub::Name> will reach into the perl internals and
assign a name to an anonymous subroutine for you. Simply do this:

  use Sub::Name 'subname';
  *Foo::foo = subname 'Foo::foo' => sub { (shift)->next::method(@_) };

and things will Just Work. Of course this is not always possible to do, but to be honest, I just can't
manage to find a workaround for it, so until someone gives me a working patch this will be a known
limitation of this module.

=head1 COMPATIBILITY

If your software requires Perl 5.9.5 or higher, you do not need L<Class::C3>, you can simply C<use mro 'c3'>, and not worry about C<initialize()>, avoid some of the above caveats, and get the best possible performance.  See L<mro> for more details.

If your software is meant to work on earlier Perls, use L<Class::C3> as documented here.  L<Class::C3> will detect Perl 5.9.5+ and take advantage of the core support when available.

=head1 Class::C3::XS

This module will load L<Class::C3::XS> if it's installed and you are running on a Perl version older than 5.9.5.  Installing this is recommended when possible, as it results in significant performance improvements (but unlike the 5.9.5+ core support, it still has all of the same caveats as L<Class::C3>).

=head1 CODE COVERAGE

L<Devel::Cover> was reporting 94.4% overall test coverage earlier in this module's life.  Currently, the test suite does things that break under coverage testing, but it is fair to assume the coverage is still close to that value.
