#2042: Deprecate VTABLE_can
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: whiteknight | Owner: cotto
Type: deprecation | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 3.6
Component: core | Version: 3.1.0
Severity: medium | Keywords:
Lang: | Patch:
Platform: all |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
VTABLE_can is defined in two places: object.pmc and default.pmc. In both
cases, it performs exactly this operation:
{{{
return !PMC_IS_NULL(VTABLE_find_method(interp, self, name));
}}}
Also, VTABLE_can is not able (yet) to be overridden from PIR code, which
means that the vast majority of classes written by users will always have
this same exact default behavior.
I suggest we deprecate and remove VTABLE_can. The "can" PIR op can remain,
but should call VTABLE_find_method directly.
