The

...

previous

...

pages

...

of

...

this

...

tutorial

...

cover

...

how

...

most

...

programmers

...

use

...

re-motion

...

mixins

...

most

...

of

...

the

...

time.

...

This

...

page

...

gives

...

you

...

some

...

background

...

information

...

and

...

shows

...

how

...

to

...

use

...

re-motion

...

mixins

...

dynamically

...

,

...

i.e.

...

how

...

to

...

mix

...

classes

...

at

...

run-time

...

in

...

an

...

ad-hoc

...

fashion.

...

Attributes

...

like

...

Uses

...

and

...

Extends

...

are

...

compiled

...

together

...

with

...

their

...

respective

...

target-

...

and

...

mixin

...

classes

...

and

...

show

...

up

...

in

...

the

...

executable

...

containing

...


the

...

resulting

...

.NET

...

IL

...

code.

...

When

...

the

...

re-motion

...

mixins

...

framework

...

starts

...

up,

...

usually

...

upon

...

first

...

use

...

of

...

ObjectFactory

...

,

...

it

...

inspects

...

the

...

executable

...

of

...

your

...

application

...

(=

...

your

...

code,

...

can

...

also

...

be

...

your

...

library)

...

and

...

builds

...

a

...

mixin

...

configuration

...

based

...

on

...

what

...

it

...

finds

...

in

...

your

...

executable.

...

This

...

configuration

...

is

...

a

...

representation

...

of

...

which

...

class

...

mixes

...

with

...

whom

...

and

...

becomes

...

the

...

master

...

configuration

...

during

...

the

...

initialization

...

of

...

re-motion

...

mixins

...

in

...

your

...

application

...

(or

...

library).

...

From

...

this

...

point

...

on,

...

each

...

thread

...

in

...

your

...

executable

...

will

...

get

...

a

...

reference

...

to

...

that

...

master

...

configuration,

...

so

...

that

...

a

...

call

...

to

...

the

...

object

...

factory

...

can

...

instantiate

...

mixed

...

classes

...

based

...

on

...

your

...

programming.

Here

1.)

...

As

...

ParrotDemo.exe

...

starts

...

running,

...

it

...

initializes

...

re-motion

...

mixins

...

as

...

soon

...

as

...

the

...

ObjectFactory

...

is

...

used

...

for

...

the

...

first

...

time.

...

The

...

initialization

...

code

...

inspects

...

ParrotDemo.exe

...

and

...

builds

...

a

...

representation

...

of

...

all

...

the

...

target

...

classes,

...

mixin

...

classes

...

and

...

how

...

they

...

are

...

mixed.

...

This

...

representation

...

becomes

...

the

...

default

...

master

...

configuration

...

.

...

2.)

...

Each

...

thread

...

that

...

starts

...

up

...

gets

...

his

...

own

...

configuration

...

pointer

...

set

...

to

...

the

...

master

...

configuration

...

per

...

default.

...

This

...

configuration

...

is

...

the

...

thread's

...

active

...

configuration

...

.

...

Using

...

ObjectFactory

...

,

...

each

...

thread

...

can

...

now

...

instantiate

...

mixed

...

classes

...

to

...

its

...

heart's

...

content.

...

This

...

default

...

master

...

configuration

...

is

...

a

...

special

...

case

...

of

...

a

...

mixin

...

configuration.

...

Like

...

all

...

mixin

...

configurations,

...

it

...

is

...

an

...

instance

...

of

...

class

...

MixinConfiguration

...

.

...

However,

...

the

...

setup

...

illustrated

...

above

...

is

...

just

...

the

...

default

...

.

...

At

...

run-time

...

you

...

can

...

exert

...

much

...

more

...

control

...

over

...

mixin

...

configurations.

...

You

...

can

...

instantiate

...

and

...

construct

...

your

...

own

...

mixin

...

configurations

...

at

...

run-time,

...

even

...

give

...

each

...

thread

...

its

...

own

...

mixin

...

configuration

...

or

...

swap

...

in

...

and

...

out

...

particular

...

mixin

...

configurations

...

temporarily

...

in

...

a

...

thread.

...

Here

...

is

...

an

...

illustration

...

for

...

an

...

alternative

...

custom-setup

...

where

...

each

...

thread

...

points

...

to

...

its

...

own

...

mixin

...

configuration:

MixinConfiguration instances can't

...

be

...

modified

...

after

...

being

...

built.

...

In

...

order

...

to

...

create

...

another

...

mixin

...

configuration,

...

you

...

build

...

upon

...

an

...

existing

...

configuration,

...

add

...

configuration

...

items

...

to

...

it

...

(or

...

remove

...

configuration

...

items)

...

and

...

build

...

another

...

configuration

...

from

...

that.

...

If

...

you

...

want

...

to

...

go

...

all

...

the

...

way,

...

build

...

a

...

completely

...

new

...

configuration

...

and

...

add

...

configuration

...

items

...

to

...

that.
