Re^6: Class::InsideOut - yet another riff on inside out objects.

Darn. I hoped there was something obvious I was missing :-)

While scanning all coderefs & symbol table entries might work for a lot of cases, I don't think it is completely general. For example, consider:

{ 
  package Foo;
  use base qw(Class::InsideOut);
  sub new { return bless [], shift };
  { my %foo : Field };
};

There are no subroutines that have %foo in their scope so, without generating code with a source filter, I can see no way of getting access to the pad with "%foo" in it.

It's not on the Foo::new pad? Fun Fun Fun in the Fluffy Chair	[reply]

No. Foo::new is not in %foo's scope. It also doesn't reference %foo - which probably means it would be optimised out of the pad even if it was in scope (not 100% on the details of this sort of optimisation so I could be wrong about that).	[reply]
