Package edu.neu.ccs.demeterf.dispatch Description

DemeterF method dispatch functions and classes. We separate this out to be able to implement our own selection function. Ideally we could do without reflection all together, but we still need to get the types of functions and objects.

For each function object we create a MethodDB that holds the applicable (correctly named) methods and their signatures. We use functional lists to implement the filter/sort selection of the actual dispatch when needed.

See the individual class definitions for more information.
