swarm.defobj.sgml.reference.html

set for Swarm2.1是圣菲研究院的开发人员对Swarm的特性及其使用描述的最为完备的指南性文档。从这里可以获得最细致的平台说明。

        following sections discuss aspects of Swarm Objective C style that
        depend on specific software support.</P

>The defobj library currently includes the CreateDrop and
      Object_s superclasses used by other libraries. For user objects in
      Swarm simulations the SwarmObject superclass in the objectbase library
      packages all required behavior of these superclasses into a single,
      simpler superclass.</P
><P
>The defobj library also provides support for custom-generated classes,
      such as those which implement separate phases of the standard create
      protocol. (See generated phase classes in the Advanced Usage Guide.)
      Subclassing from custom-generated classes is still not officially
      supported, because the framework for custom class generation is still
      being finalized. Custom-generated classes are currently used only in
      the defobj, collections, and activity libraries; these libraries
      document the specific classes that provide subclassing support.</P
><P
>In general, classes that implement a library are not
      automatically available for use as superclasses. Any library must
      document those specific superclasses that are valid for user classes
      to subclass from, along all the rules that a user subclass must follow
      when implementing new behavior.</P

>The current interfaces defined in defobj are expected to remain
stable, with the exception of those relating to package structure and
custom-generated classes. Those facilities are in process of being
totally replaced, and will not be documented further until that
replacement is complete. Details of support for defining a customized
type will also be provided later.</P
><P
>All the interfaces defined in the header file are currently
implemented, except for the various types of zones that would hold all
allocated storage in a collection of local pages, and that would
provide automatic reclaim of unused storage. The current zone
implementation supports all defined allocation messages, and also
maintains the population of the zone that consists of all objects
created directly within it.</P
><P
>The Usage Guide section is only a start, but it does include
subsections that discuss the style of Objective C programming adopted
for use throughout Swarm. There is a full set of Interface Reference
sections, though some details remain to be filled in.

Throughout the documentation, a parenthesized comment that starts with
(.. indicates an editorial comment on the current status of
implementation or documentation.</P
