| class REFLECT |
|---|
| **** | Avoid using this class. Use REFLECT_INCLUDE, instead, if possible. REFLECT is the most dangerous of the reflection classes, and permits arbitrary breakage of encapsulation and type-safety in any class. It allows you to create, inspect and modify (including private attributes) objects of any type.

| array_element(o:$OB,i:INT):$OB |
|---|
| array_size(o:$OB):INT |
|---|
| attrib(o:$OB,i:INT):$OB |
|---|
| **** | Return the "i" th attribute of object "o" |
| attrib_name(o:$OB,i:INT):STR |
|---|
| **** | Return the name of the "i"th attribute of object "o" |
| create_object(i:INT):$OB |
|---|
| **** | Create a new object whose type tag is "i" |
| create_object(i:INT,asize:INT):$OB |
|---|
| **** | Create a new array object of arbitrary type (i specifies the type tag) |
| n_attribs(o:$OB):INT |
|---|
| **** | Return the number of attributes of object"o" |
| set_array_element(o:$OB,i:INT,n:$OB) |
|---|
| set_attrib(o:$OB,i:INT,n:$OB) |
|---|
| **** | Set the "i"th attribute of object "o" to "n" |
| tp_for_str(class_name: STR): INT |
|---|
| **** | Returns the type tag associated with the class name "class_name" Returns 0 if no such tag exists (0 is never a valid tag) This function should be in SYS, but is only possible with the reflection information |
