The generic function <tt>make-instance</tt> creates and returns a new
|
|
instance of a class. The Object System provides several mechanisms for
|
|
specifying how a new instance is to be initialized. For example, it
|
|
is possible to specify the initial values for slots in newly created
|
|
instances either by giving arguments to <tt>make-instance</tt> or by
|
|
providing default initial values.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Further initialization activities
|
|
can be performed by methods written for generic functions that are
|
|
part of the initialization protocol. The complete initialization
|
|
protocol is described in section <A HREF="node292.html#ObjectCreationandInitializationSECTION">28.1.9</A>.
