Standard Generic Function |
- Syntax:
-
allocate-instance
class &rest initargs &key &allow-other-keys
 new-instance
- Method Signatures:
-
allocate-instance
(class standard-class) &rest initargs
allocate-instance
(class structure-class) &rest initargs
- Arguments and Values:
-
class - a class.
initargs - a list of keyword/value pairs
(initialization argument names and values).
new-instance - an object whose class is class.
- Description:
-
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.

This capability might be added by the Metaobject Protocol.
