C-methods

A library to add a very simple Object Orienting to C. Yet limited tools.
Just #include "methods.h"

Usage:

```C #include #include "methods.h"

// class declaration with the class keyword class (SomeClass){ // attributes before methods int attr1; double attr2; // Method declaration like function pointer. // Highly advised to put the first arg, // it will pass the self pointer int (method1)(SomeClass, int, int); };

// it is heavily advised to declare // a macro like this. // it will help setting up the // instances a lot faster. // surround with do-while(0) to avoid bugs #define SomeClass_set(var)
do{
var.method1 = _SomeClass_method1;
}while(0)

// method keyword to define methods outside the class // this will declare a function called _SomeClass_method1 int method (SomeClass, method1, int num1, int num2){ // self pointer self->attr1 += num1 * num2; return num1; }

int main(){ // fast initializer to the values SomeClass somevar = {35, 12}; SomeClass_set(somevar); // without this, the methods won't work // different kind of method call $(somevar, method1, 9, 11); // is exactly the same as somevar.method1(&somevar, 9, 11);

printf("%d\n", $(somevar, method1, 0, 3)); return 0; }

// if( problems || sugestions ){ // send_email( [email protected] ); // }
