Structs

Muq MUF offers the ability to define and use structs, but in the Muq context they make less sense than they do in the C context: Usually it makes more sense to use MUF classes than MUF structs: Muq structs essentially just offet a subset of the class functionality.

Here is a very sketchy overview. As always, see the MUF reference manual for more details. The ultimate reference is the 140-C-defstruct.t source implementing all this. It is less than 8K long and a good example of extending the MUF compiler without touching the core code.

root:
defstruct: Grunt 'name 'rank 'serialNumber ;
root:
[ :name "tom" :rank "private" :serialNumber 1 | ]makeGrunt
root: #<a Grunt 4d499a1b>
--> _tom
root:
_tom ls
:name	"tom"
:rank	"private"
:serialNumber	1
root: 
"dick" --> _tom.name
root:
_tom ls
:name	"dick"
:rank	"private"
:serialNumber	1
root:
_tom.name 
root: "dick"
