allocate-instance (class standard-class
) &rest initargs
allocate-instance (class structure-class
) &rest initargs
class—a class.
initargs—a list of keyword/value pairs (initialization argument names and values).
new-instance—an object whose class is class.
The generic function allocate-instance
creates and returns
a new instance of the class, without initializing it.
When the class is a standard class, this means that
the slots are unbound; when the class is a
structure class, this means the slots' values
are unspecified.
The caller of allocate-instance
is expected to have
already checked the initialization arguments.
The generic function allocate-instance
is called by
make-instance
, as described in
Section 7.1 (Object Creation and Initialization).
defclass, make-instance, class-of, Section 7.1 (Object Creation and Initialization)
The consequences of adding methods to allocate-instance
is unspecified.
This capability might be added by the Metaobject Protocol.
