Crate sim_lib_dispatch 

Generic functions and method dispatch for the SIM runtime.

The kernel defines the callable and operation contracts; this crate supplies the concrete dispatch organ (generic functions, multimethods, method specificity ordering).

Structs

DispatchMethod

A single method belonging to a GenericFunction.

GenericFunction

A named generic function: a set of DispatchMethods sharing one name.

MethodSpecificity

How specifically a method matched a particular call.

Enums

MethodRole

Role of a method within a generic function’s combination.

Statics

RECIPES

Cookbook recipes for the dispatch organ, embedded at build time.

Traits

MetaObjectProtocol

Language-neutral slot lookup for values with metadata-driven behavior.

Functions

compare_specificity

Orders two specificities from least to most specific.

dispatch_combine_op_key

Operation key for method combination (around/before/primary/after).

dispatch_generic_op_key

Operation key for defining a generic function.

dispatch_inspect_op_key

Operation key for inspecting the applicable methods of a call.

dispatch_multimethod_op_key

Operation key for adding a method to a generic function (multimethod).

dispatch_op_keys

All operation keys contributed by the dispatch organ, in claim order.

dispatch_organ_symbol

Symbol identifying the dispatch organ in the claim store.

dispatch_specificity_op_key

Operation key for reporting method specificity for a call.

generic_function_value

Wraps generic as a runtime callable value that dispatches most-specific.

meta_index

Performs an indexed read with a caller-selected metaobject fallback slot.

publish_dispatch_organ_claims

Publishes the dispatch organ’s claims and operation keys into a Cx.

publish_dispatch_organ_claims_for_lib

Publishes dispatch organ claims as part of a loaded lib receipt.

Type Aliases

MethodBody

The executable body of a DispatchMethod.

Multimethod

A generic function under its multimethod alias.
