💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is the Class::...:OptExt(3) page from User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the class here is Class::MethodMaker::OptExt — literally the Constants for C::MM's option extension mechanism. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bestie, vibe check: this class is internal to Class::MethodMaker and should not be used by any clients. It is not part of the public API. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This class contains the constants that Class::MethodMaker uses to determine the names of its methods, depending on which options are invoked. iykyk periodt ✨

👑 CLASS CONSTANTS 👑

🎀 OPTEXT 🎀

OPTEXT is a map from options that are implemented as method extensions to the option parameters. 🗺️

Parameter keys are:

encode — code number (to allow the option combination to be encoded whilst keeping the length of the subr name no more than 8 chars). encode is required for all opts (for determining method extension), and must be a power of two. 🔥
refer — Code for referring to storage (default: '$_[0]->{$name}'). 💾
decl — Code for declaring storage. 📦
postac — Code to execute immediately after any assignment check — for example, to initialize storage if necessary. 🛠️
asgnchk — Code for checking assignments. ✅
defchk — Code for default checking. 🔍
reset — Code to execute when resetting an element. 🔄
read — Code to execute each time a value is read. 👀
store — Code to execute each time a value is stored. 📥

💅 CLASS COMPONENTS 💅

literally nothing is listed here in the original, bestie — empty section, no cap. 🫥
