class/dynamic_creation
EL_CLASS_SET_FACTORY
Factory to create class instances conforming to parameter G and contained in set of types defined by TYPE_SET parameter, and also including the default type DEFAULT.
Further Information
Click on class link to see notes.
EL_MAKEABLE_CELL
A factory cell to create objects conforming to EL_MAKEABLE
EL_MAKEABLE_OBJECT_FACTORY
Factory to create objects conforming to EL_MAKEABLE
Further Information
Click on class link to see notes and client examples.
EL_OBJECT_FACTORY
Factory for instances of Eiffel classes conforming to parameter G
Tuple arguments act as type manifests with each type A, B, C.. conforming to G. A contract ensures all types conform. Typically you would create the tuple like this:
Types: TUPLE [A, B, C ..]
once
create Result
end

EL_COMMAND
Command
Further Information
Click on class link to see client examples.
EL_DEFAULT_COMMAND
Default do nothing command
event
EL_AGENT_EVENT_LISTENER
Agent event listener
EL_DEFAULT_EVENT_LISTENER
Default event listener
EL_EVENT_BROADCASTER
Object that can broadcast event notifications to one or more listeners
EL_EVENT_CHECKER
Object to periodically process events in some other context whilst in the midst of a computation. Useful especially to check for UI events.
EL_EVENT_LISTENER
Event notification abstraction
Further Information
Click on class link to see descendants.
EL_EVENT_LISTENER_LIST
Object for managing a list of event listeners. It can all be used to make a one-many event listener, as the list itself conforms to EL_EVENT_LISTENER.
Due to limitations of Eiffel ARRAY [G] manifest conformance checking, the automatic conversion is not useable as intended with compiler version 16.05, but perhaps in a future version it will be useable.
EL_EVENT_LISTENER_PAIR
Event listener pair
EL_EVENT_PROCESSOR
Event processor

EL_LAZY_ATTRIBUTE
Detachable object attribute that is created only when needed
Further Information
Click on class link to see notes.
EL_LAZY_ATTRIBUTE_2
A second object attribute that is created only if it is needed. This is a duplicate of EL_LAZY_ATTRIBUTE to solve any inheritance conflict.

EL_PRECURSOR_MAP_64
Tracks whether a routine has been called already or not during make precursor calls. This is a variation of class EL_PRECURSOR_MAP but with the done_bitmap defined as NATURAL_64 instead of NATURAL_32.
