[Chicken-users] coops / override initialize-instance

[John J Foerch]

Hello,

What is the recommended way to perform complex initialization of object
instances in coops?  Say I need to initialize a certain slot based on
the values of other slots in the object.  Is the initialize-instance
generic designed in a way that it is safe to do something like this:

  (define-method (initialize-instance (o <myobject))
    ;; initialization code here
    )

or is it recommended to write a wrapper function like this:

  (define (make-myobject a b c)
    (let ((o (make <myobject> 'a a 'b b 'c c)))
      ;; initialization code here
      o))

Or is there a better approaches?
