Temp shim until we break backward compatibility
Return a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer if this object is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object:
this < that => <0
this == that => 0
this > that => >0
This method may also be accessed via the <
<=
<=>
>=
and >
shortcut operators. If not overridden the default
implementation compares the toStr
representations. Also see docLang.
Examples:
3.compare(8) => -1
8.compare(3) => 1
8.compare(8) => 0
3 <=> 8 => -1 // shortcut for 3.compare(8)
Get display string for dict or the given tag. If name
is
null, then return display text for the entire dict using Etc.dictToDis.
If name
is non-null then format the tag value using its
appropiate toLocale
method. If name
is not defined by this
dict, then return def
.
Optional
name: stringOptional
def: stringCompare this object to the specified for equality. This
method may be accessed via the == and != shortcut operators.
If not overridden the default implementation compares for
reference equality using the === operator. If this method
is overridden, then hash() must also be overridden such that
any two objects which return true for equals() must return
the same value for hash(). This method must accept null
and
return false.
Return true if the given name is mapped to a non-null value.
Return a unique hashcode for this object. If a class overrides hash() then it must ensure if equals() returns true for any two objects then they have same hash code.
Get the id
tag as a Ref or raise CastErr/UnknownNameErr
Return if the there are no name/value pairs
Return true if the given name is not mapped to a non-null value.
Get an immutable representation of this instance or throw NotImmutableErr if this object cannot be represented as an immutable:
Return string for debugging only
Trap a dynamic call for handling. Dynamic calls are invoked with the -> shortcut operator:
a->x a.trap("x", null)
a->x() a.trap("x", null)
a->x = b a.trap("x", [b])
a->x(b) a.trap("x", [b])
a->x(b, c) a.trap("x", [b, c])
The default implementation provided by Obj attempts to use reflection. If name maps to a method, it is invoked with the specified arguments. If name maps to a field and args.size is zero, get the field. If name maps to a field and args.size is one, set the field and return args[0]. Otherwise throw UnknownSlotErr.
This method called whenever an it-block is applied to an
object. The default implementation calls the function with this
,
and then returns this
.

echoWrite x.toStr
to standard output followed by newline. If x
is null then print "null". If no argument is provided then
print an empty line.

MNameDict is used to wrap a NameDict so it can be a haystack::Dict. Eventually once we get rid of haystack::Dict this class can go away.
