<P><B>Description:</B><P>
<P>
The <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#function"><I>function</I></A> <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#make-instances-obsolete"><B>make-instances-obsolete</B></A> has the effect of initiating the process of updating the instances of the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_c.htm#class"><I>class</I></A>. During updating, the generic function <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="f_upda_1.htm#update-instance-for-redefined-class"><B>update-instance-for-redefined-class</B></A> will be invoked. <P>
The generic function <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#make-instances-obsolete"><B>make-instances-obsolete</B></A> is invoked automatically by the system when <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="m_defcla.htm#defclass"><B>defclass</B></A> has been used to redefine an existing standard class and the set of local <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#slot"><I>slots</I></A> <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_a.htm#accessible"><I>accessible</I></A> in an instance is changed or the order of <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#slot"><I>slots</I></A> in storage is changed. It can also be explicitly invoked by the user. <P>
If the second of the above <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_m.htm#method"><I>methods</I></A> is selected, that <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_m.htm#method"><I>method</I></A> invokes <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#make-instances-obsolete"><B>make-instances-obsolete</B></A> on <TT>(find-class </TT><I>class</I><TT>)</TT>. <P>
