[REBOL] Re: Run Time Object Type Identification
From: dankelg8:cs:man:ac at: 3-Oct-2001 15:21
Here's a function that checks if an object spec implements an interface...
It's very simple but it can be useful.
This replaces make object!
I've just called the function 'implements, but Gregg's ideas are probably
better.

implement: func [
"Returns a new object after checking that it conforms to an interface"
[catch]
interface [object!] "All fields in this object must be implemented"
impl [block!] "A block that would normally be passed to make object!"
/local result args-rule args args' f1 f2
][
result: make object! impl
args-rule: [copy args [[to /local] | [to end]] to end]
foreach word first interface [
if not find first result word [
throw make error! join "Object must implement " word
]
if function? f1: get in interface word [
if not function? f2: get in result word [
throw make error! reform [
word "is of type" type? :f2 newline
"Should be:" type? :f1
]
]
parse filter copy third :f1 func [x] [not string? x] args-rule
args': args
parse filter copy third :f2 func [x] [not string? x] args-rule
if not-equal? args' args [
throw make error! reform [
"Object implements function" word "with arguments"
mold args newline
"Should be:" mold args'
]
]
if not find third :f2 string! [
args: copy/deep third :f1
foreach item args [
if all [block? item datatype? item/1][
map item func [x] [to-word mold x]
]
]
set in result word func args second :f2
]
]
]
result
]
map: func [series [series!] ff [any-function!]][
forall series [change/only series ff first series]
head series
]
filter: func [series [series!] pred [any-function!]] [
while [not tail? series][
either pred first series [series: next series] [remove
series]
]
head series
