Dependency Maintenance Protocol Functions
The dependency maintenance protocol provides a way to register an object that is notified whenever a class or generic function on which it is set is modified. The registered object is called a dependent of the class or generic function metaobject. SKILL uses the addDependent and removeDependent methods to maintain the dependents of a class or a generic function metaobject. The dependents can be accessed using the getDependents method. The dependents are notified about a modified class or generic function by calling the updateDependent method.
This topic provides a list of dependency maintenance protocol functions.
