=head1 NAME

Clownfish::Type - A variable's type.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

    my $type = MyType->new(
        specifier   => 'char',    # default undef
        indirection => undef,     # default 0
        const       => 1,         # default undef
        parcel      => undef,     # default undef
        c_string    => undef,     # default undef
    );

Generic constructor.

=over

=item *

B<specifier> - The C name for the type, not including any indirection or array
subscripts.  

=item *

B<indirection> - integer indicating level of indirection. Example: the C type
"float**" has a specifier of "float" and indirection 2.

=item *

B<const> - should be true if the type is const.

=item *

B<parcel> - A Clownfish::Parcel or a parcel name.

=item *

B<c_string> - The C representation of the type.

=back

=head2 new_integer

    my $type = Clownfish::Type->new_integer(
        const     => 1,       # default: undef
        specifier => 'char',  # required
    );

Return a Type representing an integer primitive.

Support is limited to a subset of the standard C integer types:

    int8_t
    int16_t
    int32_t
    int64_t
    uint8_t
    uint16_t
    uint32_t
    uint64_t
    char
    short
    int
    long
    size_t

Many others are not supported: "signed" or "unsigned" anything, "long long",
"ptrdiff_t", "off_t", etc.  

The following Charmonizer typedefs are supported:

    bool_t

=over

=item * B<const> - Should be true if the type is const.

=item * B<specifier> - Must match one of the supported types.

=back

=head2 new_float

    my $type = Clownfish::Type->new_float(
        const     => 1,           # default: undef
        specifier => 'double',    # required
    );

Return a Type representing a floating point primitive.

Two specifiers are supported:

    float
    double

=over

=item * B<const> - Should be true if the type is const.

=item * B<specifier> - Must match one of the supported types.

=back

=cut

=head2 new_composite

    my $type = Clownfish::Type->new_composite(
        child       => $char_type,    # required
        indirection => undef,         # default 0
        array       => '[]',          # default undef,
        const       => 1,             # default undef
    );

Constructor for a composite type which is made up of repetitions of a single,
uniform subtype.

=over

=item *

B<child> - The Type which the composite is comprised of.

=item *

B<indirection> - integer indicating level of indirection. Example: the C type
"float**" has indirection 2.

=item *

B<array> - A string describing an array postfix.  

=item *

B<const> - should be 1 if the type is const.

=back

=head2 new_object

    my $type = Clownfish::Type->new_object(
        specifier   => "Lobster",       # required
        parcel      => "Crustacean",    # default: the default Parcel.
        const       => undef,           # default undef
        indirection => 1,               # default 1
        incremented => 1,               # default 0
        decremented => 0,               # default 0
        nullable    => 1,               # default 0
    );

Create a Type representing an object.  The Type's C<specifier> must match the
last component of the class name -- i.e. for the class "Crustacean::Lobster"
it must be "Lobster".

=over

=item * B<specifier> - Required.  Must follow the rules for
L<Clownfish::Class> class name components.

=item * B<parcel> - A L<Clownfish::Parcel> or a parcel name.

=item * B<const> - Should be true if the Type is const.  Note that this refers
to the object itself and not the pointer.

=item * B<indirection> - Level of indirection.  Must be 1 if supplied.

=item * B<incremented> - Indicate whether the caller must take responsibility
for an added refcount.

=item * B<decremented> - Indicate whether the caller must account for
for a refcount decrement.

=item * B<nullable> - Indicate whether the object specified by this type may
be NULL.

=back

The Parcel's prefix will be prepended to the specifier by new_object().

=head2 new_void

    my $type = Clownfish::Type->new_void(
        specifier => 'void',    # default: void
        const     => 1,         # default: undef
    );

Return a Type representing a the 'void' keyword in C.  It can be used either
for a void return type, or in conjuction with with new_composite() to support
the C<void*> opaque pointer type.

=over

=item * B<specifier> - Must be "void" if supplied.

=item * B<const> - Should be true if the type is const.  (Useful in the
context of C<const void*>).

=back

=head2 new_va_list

    my $type = Clownfish::Type->new_va_list(
        specifier => 'va_list',    # default: va_list
    );

Create a Type representing C's va_list, from stdarg.h.

=over

=item * B<specifier>.  Must be "va_list" if supplied.

=back

=head2 new_arbitrary

    my $type = Clownfish::Type->new_arbitrary(
        specifier => 'floatint_t',    # required
        parcel    => 'Crustacean',    # default: undef
    );

"Arbitrary" types are a hack that spares us from having to support C types
with complex declaration syntaxes -- such as unions, structs, enums, or
function pointers -- from within Clownfish itself.

The only constraint is that the C<specifier> must end in "_t".  This allows us
to create complex types in a C header file...

    typedef union { float f; int i; } floatint_t;

... pound-include the C header, then use the resulting typedef in a Clownfish
header file and have it parse as an "arbitrary" type.

    floatint_t floatint;

=over

=item * B<specifier> - The name of the type, which must end in "_t".

=item * B<parcel> - A L<Clownfish::Parcel> or a parcel name.

=back

If C<parcel> is supplied and C<specifier> begins with a capital letter, the
Parcel's prefix will be prepended to the specifier:

    foo_t         -> foo_t                # no prefix prepending
    Lobster_foo_t -> crust_Lobster_foo_t  # prefix prepended

=cut

=head2 equals

    do_stuff() if $type->equals($other);

Returns true if two Clownfish::Type objects are equivalent.

=head2 similar

    do_stuff() if $type->similar($other_type);

Weak checking of type which allows for covariant return types.  Calling this
method on anything other than an object type is an error.

=head2 to_c

    # Declare variable "foo".
    print $type->to_c . " foo;\n";

Return the C representation of the type.

=head2 set_c_string

Set the C representation of the type.

=head2 get_specifier get_parcel get_indirection get_array const nullable set_specifier set_nullable

Accessors.

=head2 is_object is_primitive is_integer is_floating is_composite is_void

    do_stuff() if $type->is_object;

Identify the flavor of Type, which is determined by the constructor which was
used to create it.

=over

=item * is_object: Clownfish::Type->new_object

=item * is_primitive: Either Clownfish::Type->new_integer or
Clownfish::Type->new_float

=item * is_integer: Clownfish::Type->new_integer

=item * is_floating: Clownfish::Type->new_float

=item * is_void: Clownfish::Type->new_void

=item * is_composite: Clownfish::Type->new_composite

=back

=head2 is_string_type

Returns true if $type represents a Clownfish type which holds unicode
strings.

=head2 incremented

Returns true if the Type is incremented.  Only applicable to object Types.

=head2 decremented

Returns true if the Type is decremented.  Only applicable to object Types.
