1 CLASS:: AbstractMessageMatcher
2 summary:: Matches incoming messages to Functions
3 categories:: OpenSoundControl, MIDI
4 related:: Classes/AbstractResponderFunc, Classes/AbstractWrappingDispatcher
7 Instances of subclasses of AbstractMessageMatcher are used by subclasses of link::Classes/AbstractWrappingDispatcher:: to match multiple parameters of incoming messages (i.e. OSC or MIDI) to instances of subclasses of link::Classes/AbstractResponderFunc::. This class and its subclasses are private and generally users should not need to address them directly.
16 Get or set this object's response link::Classes/Function::.
18 returns:: A link::Classes/Function:: or similar object.
21 Evaluate an incoming message to see if it matches. Subclasses should override this message to take appropriate arguments. If a match is found, this method should call value on this object's func, passing the message as appropriate arguments.
24 As link::#-value:: above, but with the arguments passed as a single link::Classes/Array::. This method is needed so that subclasses can work in FunctionLists.
27 An link::Classes/Array:: containing the message and appropriate arguments.
