% \section{Introduction}
% First to all notice that \thpkg\ means ``raw object(s)'', indeed \thpkg\ introduces a new mechanism to create objects like the well known C structures. The functions exported by this package are quite low level, and many important mechanisms like member protection and name resolution aren't already defined and should be introduced by intermediate packages. Higher level libraries built on top of \thpkg\ could also implement an improved and simplified syntax since the main focus of \thpkg\ is versatility and expandability rather than common usage.
%
% This packages follows the \href{https://semver.org/}{SemVer} specification (\texttt{https://semver.org/}). In particular any major version update (for example from \texttt{1.2} to \texttt{2.0}) may introduce imcompatible changes and so it's not advisable to work with different packages that require different major versions of \thpkg. Instead changes introduced in minor and patch version updates are always backward compatible, and any withdrawn function is declared deprecated instead of being removed.
%
% \section{Objects and proxies}
% Usually an object in programming languages can be seen as a collection of variables (organized in different ways depending on the chosen language) treated as part of a single entity. In \thpkg\ objects are collections of
% \begin{itemize}
%   \item \LaTeX3 variables, called \emph{members};
%   \item \LaTeX3 functions, called \emph{methods};
%   \item generic control sequences, calles simply \emph{macros};
%   \item other \emph{embedded objects}.
% \end{itemize}
% Both members and methods can be retrieved from a string representing the container object, that is the \emph{address} of the object and act like the address of a structure in C.
%
% An address is composed of two parts: the \emph{module} in which variables are created and an \emph{identifier} that identify uniquely the object inside its module. It's up to the caller that two different objects have different identifiers. The address of an object can be obtained with the \cs{object_address} function. Identifiers and module names should not contain numbers, |#|, |:| and |_| characters in order to avoid conflicts with hidden auxiliary commands. However you can use non letter characters like |-| in order to organize your members and methods.
%
% Moreover normal control sequences have an address too, but it's simply any token list for which a |c| expansion retrieves the original control sequence. We impose also that any |x| or |e| fully expansion will be a string representing the control sequence's name, for this reason inside an address |#| characters and \cs{exp_not} functions aren't allowed.
%
% In \thpkg\ objects are created from an existing object that have a suitable inner structure. These objects that can be used to create other objects are called \emph{proxy}. Every object is generated from a particular proxy object, called \emph{generator}, and new objects can be created from a specified proxy with the \cs{object_create} functions.
%
% Since proxies are themself objects we need a proxy to instantiate user defined proxies, you can use the |proxy| object in the |rawobjects| module to create you own proxy, which address is held by the \cs{c_proxy_address_str} variable. Proxies must be created from the |proxy| object otherwise they won't be recognized as proxies. Instead of using \cs{object_create} to create proxies you can directly use the function \cs{proxy_create}.
%
% Each member or method inside an object belongs to one of these categories:
% \begin{enumerate}
%   \item \emph{mutables};
%   \item \emph{near constants};
%   \item \emph{remote constants}.
% \end{enumerate}
% \textbf{Warning}: Currently only members (variables) can be mutables, not methods. Mutable members can be added in future releases if they'll be needed.
%
% Members declared as mutables works as normal variables: you can modify their value and retrieve it at any time. Instead members and methods declared as near constant works as constants: when you create them you must specify their initial value (or function body for methods) and you won't be allowed to modify it later. Remote constants for an object are simply near constants defined in its generator: all near constants defined inside a proxy are automatically visible as remote constants to every object generated from that proxy. Usually functions involving near constants have |nc| inside their name, and |rc| if instead they use remote constants.
%
% Instead of creating embedded objects or mutable members in each of your objects you can push their specifications inside the generating proxy via \cs{proxy_push_embedded}, \cs{proxy_push_member}. In this way either object created from such proxy will have the specified members and embedded objects. Specify mutable members in this way allows you to omit that member type in some functions as \cs{object_member_adr} for example, their member type will be deduced automatically from its specification inside generating proxy.
%
% Objects can be declared public, private and local, global. In a public/private object every nonconstant member and method is declared public/private, but inside local/global object only assignation to mutable members is performed locally/globally since allocation is always performed globally via \cs{\meta{type}_new:Nn} functions (nevertheless members will be accordingly declared |g_| or |l_|). This is intentional in order to follow the \LaTeX3 guidelines about variables managment, for additional motivations you can see \href{https://github.com/latex3/latex3/issues/410}{this thread} in the \LaTeX3 repository.
%
% Address of members/methods can be obtained with functions in the form \cs{object_\meta{item}\meta{category}_adr} where \meta{item} is |member|, |method|, |macro| or |embedded| and \meta{category} is |nc| for near constants, |rc| for remote ones and empty for others. For example \cs{object_rcmethod_adr} retrieves the address of specified remote constant method.
%
% \section{Put objects inside objects}
% Sometimes it's necessary to include other objects inside an object, and since objects are structured data types you can't put them directly inside a variable. However \thpkg\ provides some workarounds that allows you to include objects inside other objects, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
%
% In the following examples we're in module |mymod| and we want to put inside object |A| another object created with proxy |prx|.  
%
% \subsection{Put a pointer variable} 
% A simple solution is creating that object outside |A| with \cs{object_create}
% \begin{verbatim}
%  \object_create:nnnNN 
%    { \object_address:nn{ mymod }{ prx } }{ mymod }{ B } ....
% \end{verbatim} 
% and then creating a pointer variable inside |A| (usually of type |tl| or |str|) holding the newly created address:
% \begin{verbatim}
%  \object_new_member:nnn
%    {
%      \object_address:nn{ mymod }{ A }
%    }{ pointer }{ tl }
%
%  \tl_(g)set:cn
%    {
%      \object_new_member:nnn
%        {
%          \object_address:nn{ mymod }{ A }
%        }{ pointer }{ tl }
%    }
%    {
%      \object_address:nn{ mymod }{ B }
%    }
%
% \end{verbatim}
% you can the access the pointed object by calling \cs{object_member_use} on |pointer| member.
%
% \subsubsection*{Advantages}
% \begin{itemize}
%   \item Simple and no additional function needed to create and manage included objects;
%   \item you can share the same object between different containers;
%   \item included objects are objects too, you can use address stored in pointer member just like any object address.
% \end{itemize}
% 
% \subsubsection*{Disadvantages}
% \begin{itemize}
%  \item You must manually create both the objects and link them;
%  \item creating objects also creates additional hidden variables, taking so (little) additional space.
% \end{itemize}
%
% \subsection{Clone the inner structure}
% Instead of referring a complete object you can just clone the inner structure of |prx| and put inside |A|. For example if |prx| declares member |x| of type |str| and member |y| of type |int| then you can do
% \begin{verbatim}
%  \object_new_member:nnn
%    {
%      \object_address:nn{ mymod }{ A }
%    }{ prx-x }{ str }
%  \object_new_member:nnn
%    {
%      \object_address:nn{ mymod }{ A }
%    }{ prx-y }{ int } 
% \end{verbatim} 
% and then use |prx-x|, |prx-y| as normal members of |A|.
%
% \subsubsection*{Advantages}
% \begin{itemize}
%  \item Simple and no additional function needed to create and manage included objects;
%  \item you can put these specifications inside a proxy so that every object created with it will  have the required members/methods;
%  \item no hidden variable created, lowest overhead among the proposed solutions.
% \end{itemize}
% 
% \subsubsection*{Disadvantages}
% \begin{itemize}
%  \item Cloning the inner structure doesn't create any object, so you don't have any object address nor you can share the included ``object'' unless you share the container object too.
% \end{itemize}
%
% \subsection{Embedded objects}
% From \thpkg\ \texttt{2.2} you can put \emph{embedded objects} inside objects. Embedded objects are created with \cs{embedded_create} function 
% \begin{verbatim}
%  \embedded_create:nnn 
%    { 
%      \object_address:nn{  mymod }{ A } 
%    }{ prx }{ B }
% \end{verbatim}
% and addresses of emmbedded objects can be retrieved with function \cs{object_embedded_adr}. You can also put the definition of embedded objects in a proxy by using \cs{proxy_push_embedded} just like \cs{proxy_push_member}.
%
% \subsubsection*{Advantages}
% \begin{itemize}
%   \item You can put a declaration inside a proxy so that embedded objects are automatically created during creation of parent object;
%   \item included objects are objects too, you can use address stored in pointer member just like any object address.
% \end{itemize}
% 
% \subsubsection*{Disadvantages}
% \begin{itemize}
%  \item Needs additional functions available for version \texttt{2.2} or later;
%  \item embedded objects must have the same scope and visibility of parent one; 
%  \item creating objects also creates additional hidden variables, taking so (little) additional space.
% \end{itemize}
%
% \section{Library functions}
% \label{sec:lib}
%  \subsection{Base object functions}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\object_address:nn}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   \cs{object_address:nn} \Arg{module} \Arg{id}
%  \end{syntax}
%  Composes the address of object in module \meta{module} with identifier \meta{id} and places it in the input stream. Notice that \meta{module} and \meta{id} are converted to strings before composing them in the address, so they shouldn't contain any command inside. If you want to execute its content you should use a new variant, for example |V|, |f| or |e| variants.
%
% \fromV{1.0}
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\object_address_set:Nnn, \object_address_gset:Nnn}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   \cs{object_address_set:nn} \meta{str var} \Arg{module} \Arg{id}
%  \end{syntax}

% \section{Templated proxies}
% At the current time there isn't a standardized approach to templated proxies. One problem of standardized templated proxies is how to define struct addresses for every kind of argument (token lists, strings, integer expressions, non expandable arguments, ...).
%
% Even if there isn't currently a function to define every kind of templated proxy you can anyway define your templated proxy with your custom parameters. You simply need to define at least two functions:
% \begin{itemize}
%   \item an expandable macro that, given all the needed arguments, fully expands to the address of your templated proxy. This address can be obtained by calling \cs{object_address} \marg{module} \marg{id} where \meta{id} starts with the name of your templated proxy and is followed by a composition of specified arguments;
%   \item a not expandable macro that tests if the templated proxy with specified arguments is instantiated and, if not, instantiate it with different calls to \cs{proxy_create} and \cs{proxy_push_member}.
% \end{itemize}
%
% In order to apply these concepts we'll provide a simple implementation of a linked list with a template parameter representing the type of variable that holds our data. A linked list is simply a sequence of nodes where each node contains your data and a pointer to the next node. For the moment we 'll show a possiple implementation of a template proxy class for such |node| objects. 
%
% First to all we define an expandable macro that fully expands to our node name:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \cs_new:Nn \node_address:n
%   {
%     \object_address:nn { linklist }{ node - #1 }
%   }
% \end{verbatim}
% where the |#1| argument is simply a string representing the type of data held by our linked list (for example |tl|, |str|, |int|, ...). Next we need a functions that instantiate our proxy address if it doesn't exist:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \cs_new_protected:Nn \node_instantiate:n 
%   {
%     \object_if_exist:nF {\node_address:n { #1 } }
%       {
%         \proxy_create:nnN { linklist }{ node - #1 }
%           \c_object_public_str
%         \proxy_push_member:nnn {\node_address:n { #1 } }
%           { next }{ str }
%         \proxy_push_member:nnn {\node_address:n { #1 } }
%           { data }{ #1 } 
%       }  
%   }
% \end{verbatim}  
% As you can see when \cs{node_instantiate} is called it first test if the proxy object exists. If not then it creates a new proxy with that name and populates it with the specifications of two members: a |next| member variable of type |str| that points to the next node, and a |data| member of the specified type that holds your data.
%
% Clearly you can define new functions to work with such nodes, for example to test if the next node exists or not, to add and remove a node, search inside a linked list, ...
