GOOPS is built in to guile 1.6 and higher; this package provides goops
|
|
for guile 1.4.
|
|
|
|
GOOPS is the object oriented extension to Guile. Its implementation is
|
|
derived from STk-3.99.3 by Erick Gallesio and version 1.3 of Gregor
|
|
Kiczales `Tiny-Clos'. It is very close in spirit to CLOS, the Common
|
|
Lisp Object System (`CLtL2') but is adapted for the Scheme language.
|
|
While GOOPS is not compatible with any of these systems, GOOPS
|
|
contains a compatibility module which allows for execution of STKlos
|
|
programs.
|
|
|
|
Briefly stated, the GOOPS extension gives the user a full object
|
|
oriented system with multiple inheritance and generic functions with
|
|
multi-method dispatch. Furthermore, the implementation relies on a
|
|
true meta object protocol, in the spirit of the one defined for CLOS
|
|
(Gregor Kiczales: A Metaobject Protocol).
