OOP Lang C





C*

Thinking Machines, 1987. Superset of ANSI C, object-oriented, data-
parallel with synchronous semantics, for the Connection Machine. Adds a
data type, the 'domain', and a selection statement for parallel execution
in domains. J.R. Rose et al, "C*: An Extended C Language for Data Parallel
Programming", in Proc Second Intl Conf on Supercomputing, L.P. Kartashev et
al eds, May 1987, pp.2-16. "C* Programming Manual", Thinking Machines
Corp, 1986. Version: 6.x

C++

Stroustrup . An object-oriented superset of C. In
C++ a class is a user-defined type, syntactically a struct with member
functions. Constructors and destructors are member functions called to
create or destroy instances. A friend is a nonmember function that is
allowed to access the private portion of a class. C++ allows implicit type
conversion, function inlining, overloading of operators and function names,
default function arguments, and pass by reference. It has streams for I/O.

1991 (2nd edition).

NAME="C+@">C+@

(formerly Calico). Bell Labs. Object-oriented language, uniformly
represents all data as a pointer to a self-described object. Provides
multiple inheritance with delegation, with control over which methods come
>from which delegated object. Default methodologies. Simple syntax, with
emphasis on graphics. Originally used for prototyping of telecommunication
services. "A Dynamic C-Based Object-Oriented System for Unix", S.

Cecil

Object-oriented language combining multi-methods with a classless
object model, object-based encapsulation, and optional static type
checking. Distinguishes between subtyping and code inheritance. Includes
both explicit and implicit parameterization of objects, types, and methods.

CLU

CLUster. 1974-1975. CLU is an object-oriented language of the
Pascal family designed to support data abstraction, similar to Alphard.
Introduced the iterator: a coroutine yielding the elements of a data
object, to be used as the sequence of values in a 'for' loop.
A CLU program consists of separately compilable procedures, clusters
and iterators, no nesting. A cluster is a module naming an abstract type
and its operations, its internal representation and implementation.
Clusters and iterators may be generic. Supplying actual constant values
for the parameters instantiates the module.
There are no implicit type conversions. In a cluster, the explicit
type conversions 'up' and 'down' change between the abstract type and the
representation. There is a universal type 'any', and a procedure force[]
to check that an object is a certain type. Objects may be mutable or
immutable. Garbage collection is built in.
Exceptions are raised using 'signal' and handled with 'except'.
Assignment is by sharing, similar to the sharing of data objects in LISP.
Arguments are passed by call-by-sharing, similar to call by value, except
that the arguments are objects and can be changed only if they are mutable.
CLU has own variables and multiple assignment.
TED (a text editor), R (a document formatter), SWIFT (an operating
system), and lp (a proof tool used for formal specification) have been
written in CLU.
