Allocating objects

make type args ... Function
Constructs a new object instance of the specified type, which must be either a java.lang.Class or a <gnu.bytecode.ClassType>.

The args ... are passed to the constructor of the class type. If there is no applicable constructor, and the args ... consist of a set of (keyword,value)-pairs, then the default constructor is called, and each (keyword,value)-pair is used to set the correspdong slot of the result, as if by: (slot-set! result keyword value).

For example, the following are all equivalent:

          (set! p (make <java.awt.Point> 3 4))
          
          (set! p (make <java.awt.Point> y: 4 x: 3))
          
          (set! p (make <java.awt.Point>))
          (slot-set! p 'x 3)
          (set! (slot-ref p 'y) 4)
