NAME

       Class::MethodMaker::OptExt - Constants for C::MM's option extension mechanism

SYNOPSIS

       This class is internal to Class::MethodMaker and should not be used by any clients.  It is
       not part of the public API.

DESCRIPTION

       This class contains the constants used by Class::MethodMaker to determine the names of its
       methods dependent upon options invoked.

CLASS CONSTANTS

   OPTEXT
       OPTEXT is a map from options that are implemented as method extensions to the option
       parameters.

       Parameter keys are:

       encode
           code number (to allow the option combination to be encoded whilst keeping the length
           of the subr name no more than 8 chars).  encode is required for all opts (for
           determining method extension), and must be a power of two.

       refer
           Code for referring to storage (default: '$_[0]->{$name}').

       decl
           Code for declaring storage.

       postac
           Code to execute immediately after any assignment check --- for example, to initialize
           storage if necessary

       asgnchk
           Code for checking assignments.

       defchk
           Code for default checking.

       reset
           Code to execute when resetting an element

       read
           Code to execute each time an value is read

       store
           Code to execute each time a value is stored

CLASS COMPONENTS

CLASS HIGHER-LEVEL FUNCTIONS

   encode
       Take a set of options, return a two-letter code being the extension to add to the method
       to incorporate the extensions, and a list (arrayref) of the extensions represented.

       SYNOPSIS
             my ($ext, $opt) =
               Class::MethodMaker::OptExt->encode([qw( static type foobar )]);

       ARGUMENTS
           options
               The options to encode, as an arrayref of option names

       RETURNS
           ext A code (string) to append to a methodname to represent the options used.

           opts
               The options represented by the ext .  This is generally a subset of the of those
               provided in options, for not all general options are handled by an encoded
               methodname.
