Arguments: class-or-class-name
This function may be used to clear a cache that is used by class-grid
widgets and object-editor
dialogs if
programmatic changes may have made the cache out-of-date.
class-grid
s and object-editor
s cache a list of the
instances that they display, along with the pretty names that are used
to present the instances to the end user. This is done to avoid
consing the pretty names when the instances are sorted by the pretty
names or presented in menus and so on. As long as the instances are
modified only by the end user via class-grid
s and object-editor
s, the cached pretty names are kept
up-to-date. But if an application uses some other means to modify the
instances so that their pretty names may no longer be up-to-date, then
it can call this function to clear the cache for one or all classes.
For example, if the primary-name-slot of the "person" class is
last-name, and the application programmatically changes the value of
that slot for one or more person instances, then it should call this
function on the person class.
class-or-class-name may be either a class
object or the name of a class. It can also be the keyword
:all
to clear the entire cache of pretty names for
all classes.
