# = delegate -- Support for the Delegation Pattern
#
# Documentation by James Edward Gray II and Gavin Sinclair
#
# == Introduction
#
# This library provides three different ways to delegate method calls to an
# object.  The easiest to use is SimpleDelegator.  Pass an object to the
# constructor and all methods supported by the object will be delegated.  This
# object can be changed later.
#
# Going a step further, the top level DelegateClass method allows you to easily
# setup delegation through class inheritance.  This is considerably more
# flexible and thus probably the most common use for this library.
#
# Finally, if you need full control over the delegation scheme, you can inherit
# from the abstract class Delegator and customize as needed.  (If you find
# yourself needing this control, have a look at _forwardable_, also in the
# standard library.  It may suit your needs better.)
#
# == Notes
#
# Be advised, RDoc will not detect delegated methods.
#
# <b>delegate.rb provides full-class delegation via the
# DelegateClass() method.  For single-method delegation via
# def_delegator(), see forwardable.rb.</b>
#
# == Examples
#
# === SimpleDelegator
#
# Here's a simple example that takes advantage of the fact that
# SimpleDelegator's delegation object can be changed at any time.
#
#   class Stats
#     def initialize
#       @source = SimpleDelegator.new([])
#     end
#
#     def stats( records )
#       @source.__setobj__(records)
#
#       "Elements:  #{@source.size}\n" +
#       " Non-Nil:  #{@source.compact.size}\n" +
#       "  Unique:  #{@source.uniq.size}\n"
#     end
#   end
#
#   s = Stats.new
#   puts s.stats(%w{James Edward Gray II})
#   puts
#   puts s.stats([1, 2, 3, nil, 4, 5, 1, 2])
#
# <i>Prints:</i>
#
#   Elements:  4
#    Non-Nil:  4
#     Unique:  4
#
#   Elements:  8
#    Non-Nil:  7
#     Unique:  6
#
# === DelegateClass()
#
# Here's a sample of use from <i>tempfile.rb</i>.
#
# A _Tempfile_ object is really just a _File_ object with a few special rules
# about storage location and/or when the File should be deleted.  That makes for
# an almost textbook perfect example of how to use delegation.
#
#   class Tempfile < DelegateClass(File)
#     # constant and class member data initialization...
#
#     def initialize(basename, tmpdir=Dir::tmpdir)
#       # build up file path/name in var tmpname...
#
#       @tmpfile = File.open(tmpname, File::RDWR|File::CREAT|File::EXCL, 0600)
#
#       # ...
#
#       super(@tmpfile)
#
#       # below this point, all methods of File are supported...
#     end
#
#     # ...
#   end
#
# === Delegator
#
# SimpleDelegator's implementation serves as a nice example here.
#
#    class SimpleDelegator < Delegator
#      def initialize(obj)
#        super             # pass obj to Delegator constructor, required
#        @delegate_sd_obj = obj    # store obj for future use
#      end
#
#      def __getobj__
#        @delegate_sd_obj          # return object we are delegating to, required
#      end
#
#      def __setobj__(obj)
#        @delegate_sd_obj = obj    # change delegation object, a feature we're providing
#      end
#
#      # ...
#    end

#
# Delegator is an abstract class used to build delegator pattern objects from
# subclasses.  Subclasses should redefine \_\_getobj\_\_.  For a concrete
# implementation, see SimpleDelegator.
