NAME

Clownfish::Dumpable - Auto-generate code for "dumpable" classes.

SYNOPSIS

my $dumpable = Clownfish::Dumpable->new;
for my $class ( grep { $_->has_attribute('dumpable') } @classes ) {
    $dumpable->add_dumpables($class);
}

DESCRIPTION

If a class declares that it has the attribute "dumpable", but does not declare either Dump or Load(), Clownfish::Dumpable will attempt to auto-generate those methods if methods inherited from the parent class do not suffice.

class Foo::Bar inherits Foo : dumpable {
    Thing *thing;

    public inert incremented Bar*
    new();

    void
    Destroy(Bar *self);
}

METHODS

new

my $dumpable = Clownfish::Dumpable->new;

Constructor. Takes no arguments.

add_dumpables

$dumpable->add_dumpables($dumpable_class);

Analyze a class with the attribute "dumpable" and add Dump() or Load() methods as necessary.
