Description

The function verify-lisp-proxy verifies a single proxy definition.

The function verify-lisp-proxies verifies all the proxy definitions that were defined by define-lisp-proxy (but not those created by setup-lisp-proxy).

Verify means two things:

• Check that all symbols in the definition which are not keywords have function definitions, and
• Check that the methods that are declared in the interfaces that the definition uses have method-specs. This check is performed only if do-undefined-method is non-nil, and requires running Java. The default value of do-undefined-method is nil.

verify-lisp-proxy returns two values:

unbounds reports symbols lacking function definitions. For each list in unbounds, its first element is the method name, and its second element is the symbol that is not fbound. If the default function is not fbound, there is a list where the first element is "Default function".

undefined-methods (if do-undefined-method is non-nil) can be either a string if one of the interfaces cannot be found (the string says that it cannot find an interface and gives its names), or a list. Each element in the list corresponds to an interface. The first element is the interface name, and the rest of the elements are strings specifying methods for which there is no matching method-descs.

verify-lisp-proxies maps through the proxy definitions that were defined by define-lisp-proxy, and verifies each one of them. It returns two values, a list for definitions with symbols are not fbound, and a list for definitions with methods that are undefined. Each item of defs-with-unbounds is a list corresponding to a definition with symbol not fbound, where the cl:car is the definition name and the cl:cdr is the unbounds list as returned by verify-lisp-proxy. Each item in defs-with-undefined-methods is a cons corresponding to a definition where a method is undefined, where the cl:car is the definition name and the cl:cdr is a string or a list of undefined methods as described above.

Notes

Failure to find an interface is a real error, and will cause make-lisp-proxy to signal error when trying to make a proxy. Symbols which are not fbound and missing methods would cause the default function to be called, which may or may not be the intention. Symbols that are not fbound are useful when they are intended to be always overridden, in which case they should be keywords, so verification ignores them.
