Free class file software for linux

Asm2class is a java assembly to class file compiler.

Asm2class is release under the terms of the GPL License. The current version of asm2class (0.1.2) is a beta version and allow generating class file from java assembly file that contains class definition, field definition, method definition and constructor definition.

This release support also abstract class, abstract method and native method definition.

Asm2class know more thatn 90% of the java assembly language. Asm2class can do dead code detection, uninitialized register detection.

EXAMPLE

# This is a really long synopsis, but hopefully it will give you an idea...

package MyPackage;

Class::Meta is a Perl class automation, introspection, and data validation.

SYNOPSIS

Generate a class:
package MyApp::Thingy;
use strict;
use Class::Meta;
use Class::Meta::Types::String;
use Class::Meta::Types::Numeric;

BEGIN {

# Create a Class::Meta object for this class.
my $cm = Class::Meta->new( key => thingy );

# Add a constructor.
$cm->add_constructor(
name => new,
create => 1,
);

# Add a couple of attributes with generated methods.
$cm->add_attribute(
name => uuid,
authz => Class::Meta::READ,
type => string,
required => 1,
default => sub { Data::UUID->new->create_str },
);
$cm->add_attribute(
name => name,
is => string,
required => 1,
default => undef,
);
$cm->add_attribute(
name => age,
is => integer,
default => undef,
);

# Add a custom method.
$cm->add_method(
name => chk_pass,
view => Class::Meta::PUBLIC,
);
$cm->build;
}
Then use the class:
use MyApp::Thingy;

my $thingy = MyApp::Thingy->new;
print "ID: ", $thingy->id, $/;
$thingy->name(Larry);
print "Name: ", $thingy->name, $/;
$thingy->age(42);
print "Age: ", $thingy->age, $/;
Or make use of the introspection API:
use MyApp::Thingy;

my $class = MyApp::Thingy->my_class;
my $thingy;

print "Examining object of class ", $class->package, $/;

print "nConstructors:n";
for my $ctor ($class->constructors) {
print " o ", $ctor->name, $/;
$thingy = $ctor->call($class->package);
}

print "nAttributes:n";
for my $attr ($class->attributes) {
print " o ", $attr->name, " => ", $attr->get($thingy), $/;
if ($attr->authz >= Class::Meta::SET && $attr->type eq string) {
$attr->get($thingy, hey there!);
print " Changed to: ", $attr->get($thingy), $/;
}
}

print "nMethods:n";
for my $meth ($class->methods) {
print " o ", $meth->name, $/;
$meth->call($thingy);
}

Class::Meta provides an interface for automating the creation of Perl classes with attribute data type validation. It differs from other such modules in that it includes an introspection API that can be used as a unified interface for all Class::Meta-generated classes. In this sense, it is an implementation of the "Facade" design pattern.

Class::Bits is a Perl module with class wrappers around bit vectors.

SYNOPSIS

package MyClass;
use Class::Bits;

make_bits( a => 4, # 0..15
b => 1, # 0..1
c => 1, # 0..1
d => 2, # 0..3
e => s4 # -8..7
f => s1 # -1..0
);

package;

$o=MyClass->new(a=>12, d=>2);
print "o->b is ", $o->b, "n";

print "bit vector is ", unpack("h*", $$o), "n";

$o2=$o->new();
$o3=MyClass->new($string);

ABSTRACT

Class::Bits creates class wrappers around bit vectors.

Class::Bits defines classes using bit vectors as storage.
Object attributes are stored in bit fields inside the bit vector. Bit field sizes have to be powers of 2 (1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32).

There is a class constructor subroutine:

make_bits( field1 => size1, field2 => size2, ...)

exports in the calling package a ctor, accessor methods, some utility methods and some constants:

Sizes can be prefixed by s or u to define signedness of the field. Default is unsigned.

$class->new()

creates a new object with all zeros.

$class->new($bitvector)

creates a new object over $bitvector.

$class->new(%fields)

creates a new object and initializes its fields with the values in %fields.

$obj->new()

clones an object.

$obj->$field()
$obj->$field($value)

gets or sets the value of the bit field $field inside the bit vector.

$class->length
$obj->lenght

returns the size in bits of the bit vector used for storage.

$class->keys
$obj->keys

returns an array with the names of the object attributes

$obj->as_hash

returns a flatten hash with the object attributes, i.e.:
my %values=$obj->as_hash;

%INDEX

hash with offsets as used by vec perl operator (to get an offset in bits, the value has to be multiplied by the corresponding bit field size).

%SIZES

hash with bit field sizes in bits.

%SIGNED

hash with signedness of the fields

Bit fields are packed in the bit vector in the order specified as arguments to make_bits.

Bit fields are padded inside the bit vector, i.e. a class created like

make_bits(A=>1, B=>2, C=>1, D=>4, E=>8, F=>16);

will have the layout

Class::Struct::FIELDS module combine Class::Struct, base and fields.

SYNOPSIS

(This page documents Class::Struct::FIELDS v.1.1.)
use Class::Struct::FIELDS;
# declare struct, based on fields, explicit class name:
struct (CLASS_NAME => { ELEMENT_NAME => ELEMENT_TYPE, ... });

use Class::Struct::FIELDS;
# declare struct, based on fields, explicit class name
# with inheritance:
struct (CLASS_NAME => [qw(BASE_CLASSES ...)],
{ ELEMENT_NAME => ELEMENT_TYPE, ... });

package CLASS_NAME;
use Class::Struct::FIELDS;
# declare struct, based on fields, implicit class name:
struct (ELEMENT_NAME => ELEMENT_TYPE, ...);

package CLASS_NAME;
use Class::Struct::FIELDS;
# declare struct, based on fields, implicit class name
# with inheritance:
struct ([qw(BASE_CLASSES ...)], ELEMENT_NAME => ELEMENT_TYPE, ...);

package MyObj;
use Class::Struct::FIELDS;
# declare struct with four types of elements:
struct (s => $, a => @, h => %, x => &, c => My_Other_Class);

$obj = new MyObj; # constructor

# scalar type accessor:
$element_value = $obj->s; # element value
$obj->s (new value); # assign to element

# array type accessor:
$ary_ref = $obj->a; # reference to whole array
$ary_element_value = $obj->a->[2]; # array element value
$ary_element_value = $obj->a (2); # same thing
$obj->a->[2] = new value; # assign to array element
$obj->a (2, newer value); # same thing

# hash type accessor:
$hash_ref = $obj->h; # reference to whole hash
$hash_element_value = $obj->h->{x}; # hash element value
$hash_element_value = $obj->h (x); # same thing
$obj->h->{x} = new value; # assign to hash element
$obj->h (x, newer value); # same thing

# code type accessor:
$code_ref = $obj->x; # reference to code
$obj->x->(...); # call code
$obj->x (sub {...}); # assign to element

# regexp type accessor:
$regexp = $obj->r; # reference to code
$string =~ m/$obj->r/; # match regexp
$obj->r (qr/ ... /); # assign to element

# class type accessor:
$element_value = $obj->c; # object reference
$obj->c->method (...); # call method of object
$obj->c (My_Other_Class::->new); # assign a new object

Class::Struct::FIELDS exports a single function, struct. Given a list of element names and types, and optionally a class name and/or an array reference of base classes, struct creates a Perl 5 class that implements a "struct-like" data structure with inheritance.

The new class is given a constructor method, new, for creating struct objects.
Each element in the struct data has an accessor method, which is used to assign to the element and to fetch its value. The default accessor can be overridden by declaring a sub of the same name in the package. (See Example 2.)

Each elements type can be scalar, array, hash, code or class.

Class::InsideOut is a Perl module with a safe, simple inside-out object construction kit.
SYNOPSIS
package My::Class;
use Class::InsideOut qw( public private register id );
public name => my %name; # accessor: name()
private age => my %age; # no accessor
sub new { register( shift ) }
sub greeting {
my $self = shift;
return "Hello, my name is $name{ id $self }";
}
This is a simple, safe and streamlined toolkit for building inside-out objects. Unlike most other inside-out object building modules already on CPAN, this module aims for minimalism and robustness:
- Does not require derived classes to subclass it
- Uses no source filters, attributes or CHECK blocks
- Supports any underlying object type including black-box inheritance
- Does not leak memory on object destruction
- Overloading-safe
- Thread-safe for Perl 5.8 or better
- mod_perl compatible
- Makes no assumption about inheritance or initializer needs
It provides the minimal support necessary for creating safe inside-out objects and generating flexible accessors.

Class::Classless is a Perl framework for classless OOP.

SYNOPSIS

use strict;
use Class::Classless;
my $ob1 = $Class::Classless::ROOT->clone;
$ob1->{NAME} = Ob1;
$ob1->{stuff} = 123;
$ob1->{Thing} = 789;

my $ob2 = $ob1->clone;
$ob2->{NAME} = Ob2;

printf "ob1 stuff: n", $ob1->{stuff};
printf "ob2 stuff: n", $ob2->{stuff};
printf "ob1 Thing: n", $ob1->{Thing};
printf "ob2 Thing: n", $ob2->{Thing};

$ob1->{METHODS}{zaz} = sub {
print "Zaz! on ", $_[0]{NAME}, "n";
};

$ob1->zaz;
$ob2->zaz;
$ob1->EXAMINE;
$ob2->EXAMINE;
This prints the following:
ob1 stuff: < 123 >
ob2 stuff: < 123 >
ob1 Thing: < 789 >
ob2 Thing: < >
Zaz! on Ob1
Zaz! on Ob2
< Class::Classless::X=HASH(0x200236f4) >
stuff, 123,
NAME, Ob1,
Thing, 789,
METHODS, { zaz, CODE(0x20068360) },
PARENTS, [ ROOT ],
< Class::Classless::X=HASH(0x2002cb48) >
stuff, 123,
NAME, Ob2,
METHODS, { },
PARENTS, [ Ob1 ],

In class-based OOP frameworks, methods are applicable to objects by virtue of objects belonging to classes that either provide those methods, or inherit them from classes that do.

In classless OOP frameworks (AKA delegation-and-prototypes frameworks), what methods an object is capable of is basically an attribute of that object. That is, in Perl terms: instead of methods being entries in the symbol table of the package/class the object belongs to, they are entries in a hash table inside the object. Inheritance is implemented not by having classes inheriting from other classes (via ISA lists), but by having objects inherit from other objects (via PARENTS lists).

In class-based OOP frameworks, you get new objects by calling constructors. In a classless framework, you get new objects by copying ("cloning") an existing object -- and the new clone becomes a child (inheritor) of the original object. (Where do you get the one original object? The language provides one, which has no parents, and which contains some general purpose methods like "clone".)
