Syntax:
add-direct-method specializer method => unspecified
Arguments and values:
specializer -- A specializer metaobject.
method -- A method metaobject.
Description:
This generic function is called to maintain a set of backpointers from a specializer to the set of methods specialized to it. If method is already in the set, it is not added again (no error is signaled).
This set can be accessed as a list by calling the generic function specializer-direct-methods. Methods are removed from the set by remove-direct-method.
The generic function add-direct-method is called by add-method whenever a method is added to a generic function. It is called once for each of the specializers of the method. Note that in cases where a specializer appears more than once in the specializers of a method, this generic function will be called more than once with the same specializer as argument.
The results are undefined if the specializer argument is not one of the specializers of the method argument.
Methods:
| add-direct-method (specializer class) (method method) |
| add-direct-method (specializer eql-specializer) (method method) |
