// Written in the D programming language.

/++
 This module implements fast open multi-_methods.

 Open _methods are like virtual functions, except that they are free functions,
 living outside of any class. Multi-_methods can take into account the dynamic
 types of more than one argument to select the most specialized variant of the
 function.

 This implementation uses compressed dispatch tables to deliver a performance
 similar to ordinary virtual function calls, while minimizing the size of the
 dispatch tables in presence of multiple virtual arguments.

 Synopsis of openmethods:
---

import openmethods; // import lib
mixin(registerMethods); // once per module - don't forget!

interface  Animal {}
class Dog : Animal {}
class Pitbull : Dog {}
class Cat : Animal {}
class Dolphin : Animal {}

// open method with single argument <=> virtual function "from outside"
string kick(virtual!Animal);

@method // implement 'kick' for dogs
string _kick(Dog x) // note the underscore
{
  return "bark";
}

@method("kick") // use a different name for specialization
string notGoodIdea(Pitbull x)
{
  return next!kick(x) ~ " and bite"; // aka call 'super'
}

// multi-method
string meet(virtual!Animal, virtual!Animal);

// 'meet' implementations
@method
string _meet(Animal, Animal)
{
  return "ignore";
}

@method
string _meet(Dog, Dog)
{
  return "wag tail";
}

@method
string _meet(Dog, Cat)
{
  return "chase";
}

void main()
{
  updateMethods(); // once per process - don't forget!

  import std.stdio;

  Animal hector = new Pitbull, snoopy = new Dog;
  writeln("kick snoopy: ", kick(snoopy)); // bark
  writeln("kick hector: ", kick(hector)); // bark and bite

  Animal felix = new Cat, flipper = new Dolphin;
  writeln("hector meets felix: ", meet(hector, felix)); // chase
  writeln("hector meets snoopy: ", meet(hector, snoopy)); // wag tail
  writeln("hector meets flipper: ", meet(hector, flipper)); // ignore
}

/++
 Mark a parameter as virtual, and declare a method.

 A new function is introduced in the current scope. It has the same name as the
 declared method; its parameter consists in the declared parameters, stripped
 from the `virtual!` qualifier. Calls to this function resolve to the most
 specific method that matches the arguments.

 The rules for determining the most specific function are exactly the same as
 those that guide the resolution of function calls in presence of overloads -
 only the resolution happens at run time, taking into account the argument's
 $(I dynamic) type. In contrast, the normal function overload resolution is a
 compile time mechanism that takes into account the $(I static) type of the
 arguments.

 Examples:
 ---
 Matrix times(double, virtual!Matrix);
 string fight(virtual!Character, virtual!Creature, virtual!Device);

 Matrix a = new DiagonalMatrix(...);
 auto result = times(2, a);

 fight(player, room.guardian, bag[item]);
 ---
 +/

class virtual(T)
{
}

/++
 Used as an attribute: add an override to a method.

 If called without argument, the function name must consist in a method name,
 prefixed with an underscore. The function is added to the method as a
 specialization.

 If called with a string argument, it is interpreted as the name of the method
 to specialize. The function name can then be any valid identifier. This is
 useful to allow one override to call a specific override without going through
 the dynamic dispatch mechanism.

 Examples:
 ---
 @method
 string _fight(Character x, Creature y, Axe z)
 {
   ...
 }

 @method("times")
 Matrix doubleTimesDiagonal(double a, immutable(DiagonalMatrix) b)
 {
   ...
 }
 ---

+/

struct method
{
  string id;
}

/++ Call the _next most specialized override if it exists. In other words, call
 the override that would have been called if this one had not been defined.

 Examples:
 ---
void inspect(virtual!Vehicle, virtual!Inspector);

@method
void _inspect(Vehicle v, Inspector i)
{
  writeln("Inspect vehicle.");
}

@method
void _inspect(Car v, Inspector i)
{
  next!inspect(v, i);
  writeln("Inspect seat belts.");
}

@method
void _inspect(Car v, StateInspector i)
{
  next!inspect(v, i);
  writeln("Check insurance.");
}

...

Vehicle car = new Car;
Inspector inspector = new StateInspector;
inspect(car, inspector); // Inspect vehicle. Inspect seat belts. Check insurance.
 ---
+/

auto next(alias F, T...)(T args)
{
  alias M = typeof(F(MethodTag.init, T.init));
  return M.nextPtr!(T)(args);
}

/++ Used as a string mixin: register the methods declaration and definitions in
 the current module.

 Examples:
 ---
import openmethods;
mixin(registerMethods);
 ---
 +/

auto registerMethods(string moduleName = __MODULE__)
{
  return format("mixin(_registerMethods!%s);\nmixin _registerSpecs!%s;\n",
                moduleName, moduleName);
}

/++
 Update the runtime dispatch tables. Must be called once before calling any method. Typically this is done at the beginning of `main`.

/++
 Set the function that is called if a method cannot be called with the
