| Subject: | Simpler way to specify :ATTR |
Hi,
Maybe I don't fully understand how to use Class::Std, but it seems verbose trying to build a class with many attributes. Since the init_arg, set, and get are all going to be using the same <tag>, why have to duplicate the effort? Seems like a recipe for a typo.
Instead of:
{
%name_of :ATTR(:init_arg<name> :get<name> :set<name>);
}
Do:
{
%name_of :ATTR(:as<name> :init_arg :get :set);
}
For example, below I have a simple class I'm creating, all the attributes are read and write, one has a default. Building with Class::Std the definition gets hairy (especially trying to keep the linesize < 80)
I would have supplied a patch, but didn't know where to begin once I started looking at the source to Class::Std
thanks
Jay
