  • Operator Overloading ______
    Chapter 10: Operator Overloading _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Consider the following C++ code snippet: vector<string> myVector(kNumStrings); for(vector<string>::iterator itr = myVector.begin(); itr != myVector.end(); ++itr) *itr += "Now longer!"; Here, we create a vector<string> of a certain size, then iterate over it concatenating “Now longer!” to each of the strings. Code like this is ubiquitous in C++, and initially does not appear all that exciting. However, let's take a closer look at how this code is structured. First, let's look at exactly what operations we're performing on the iterator: vector<string> myVector(kNumStrings); for(vector<string>::iterator itr = myVector.begin(); itr != myVector.end(); ++itr) *itr += "Now longer!"; In this simple piece of code, we're comparing the iterator against myVector.end() using the != operator, incrementing the iterator with the ++ operator, and dereferencing the iterator with the * operator. At a high level, this doesn't seem all that out of the ordinary, since STL iterators are designed to look like regular pointers and these operators are all well-defined on pointers. But the key thing to notice is that STL iterators aren't pointers, they're objects, and !=, *, and ++ aren't normally defined on objects. We can't write code like ++myVector or *myMap = 137, so why can these operations be applied to vector<string>::iterator? Similarly, notice how we're concatenating the string “Now longer!” onto the end of the string: vector<string> myVector(kNumStrings); for(vector<string>::iterator itr = myVector.begin(); itr != myVector.end(); ++itr) *itr += "Now longer!"; Despite the fact that string is an object, somehow C++ “knows” what it means to apply += to strings.

  • C++ Properties -- a Library Solution
    Document Number: SC22/WG21/N1615=04-0055 Date: 2004-04-09 Author: Lois Goldthwaite Email: [email protected] C++ Properties -- a Library Solution N1600 is a summary of the "property" language extension that is proposed for C++/CLI. I can't help feeling that this is an effort to impose an alien idiom on C++. There is too much of "the compiler will perform black magic behind your back" in it. There are too many ways in which the programmer must be aware that some [pseudo-]data members must be handled in different ways from [real] data members. The C++/CLI draft spec (N1608)says in 8.8.4 and 18.4 that "A property is a member that behaves as if it were a field." I think "behaves" is absolutely the wrong word to use here. A property is behavior that pretends to be state. From an OO design point of view, I think this is A Bad Idea. Behaviour should be visible; state should not. Further on, the document continues, "the X and Y properties can be read and written as though they were fields. In the example above, the properties are used to implement data hiding within the class itself." The subtle advantage of "hiding" a private data member by treating it as a public data member escapes me. Properties are just syntactic saccharine for getter and setter member functions for individual fields. C++ experts have spent years trying to educate people NOT to use public data, to use member functions instead, and now we propose to introduce something that looks just like public data? Do we really want to try to teach people that public fields are still bad, but properties are good, even though they look just the same from outside the class? Moreover, these public fields have side effects! There is a danger that too many novice programmers will prototype their designs using public fields, with the intent of changing them to properties later, if and when it proves necessary, and the general quality of code will suffer because of it.

  • The Zonnon Project: a .NET Language and Compiler Experiment
    The Zonnon Project: A .NET Language and Compiler Experiment Jürg Gutknecht Vladimir Romanov Eugene Zueff Swiss Fed Inst of Technology Moscow State University Swiss Fed Inst of Technology (ETH) Computer Science Department (ETH) Zürich, Switzerland Moscow, Russia Zürich, Switzerland [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Zonnon is a new programming language that combines the style and the virtues of the Pascal family with a number of novel programming concepts and constructs. It covers a wide range of programming models from algorithms and data structures to interoperating active objects in a distributed system. In contrast to popular object-oriented languages, Zonnon propagates a symmetric compositional inheritance model. In this paper, we first give a brief overview of the language and then focus on the implementation of the compiler and builder on top of .NET, with a particular emphasis on the use of the MS Common Compiler Infrastructure (CCI). The Zonnon compiler is an interesting showcase for the .NET interoperability platform because it implements a non-trivial but still “natural” mapping from the language’s intrinsic object model to the underlying CLR. Keywords Oberon, Zonnon, Compiler, Common Compiler Infrastructure (CCI), Integration. 1. INTRODUCTION: THE BRIEF CCI and b) to experiment with evolutionary language HISTORY OF THE PROJECT concepts. The notion of active object was taken from the Active Oberon language [Gut01]. In addition, two This is a technical paper presenting and describing new concurrency mechanisms have been added: an the current state of the Zonnon project. Zonnon is an accompanying communication mechanism based on evolution of the Pascal, Modula, Oberon language syntax-oriented protocols , borrowed from the Active line [Wir88].

  • Dealing with Properties
    Dealing with Properties Martin Fowler [email protected] lmost every object you create needs properties: some statement about the object. A person may have a height, a company may have a CEO, a flight may have a flight Anumber. There are a number of ways to model properties. In this article I will explore some of these ways and when you may want to use them. I’ve often seen patterns touch on this subject, but they usually only cover part of the picture. Here I want to cover the issue more broadly to give a better discussion of the options. The most common, and the simplest case is to use a Fixed Property, that is just declare the attribute on the class. In the vast majority of cases that is all you need to do. Fixed properties begin to fail when you have a large amount of them, or you need to change them frequently, possibly at run time. These forces lead you to the varieties of Dynamic Property. All dynamic properties have the quality of a parameterized attribute where to query a property you need to use a query method with a parameter. The simplest of these is the Flexible Dynamic Property where the parameter is just a string. This makes it easy to define and use properties, but is difficult to control. If you need that control you can use a Defined Dynamic Property where your parameters must be instances of some class. A further step of control allows you to strongly type your dynamic property with a Typed Dynamic Property.

  • Programming with Windows Forms
    A P P E N D I X A ■ ■ ■ Programming with Windows Forms Since the release of the .NET platform (circa 2001), the base class libraries have included a particular API named Windows Forms, represented primarily by the System.Windows.Forms.dll assembly. The Windows Forms toolkit provides the types necessary to build desktop graphical user interfaces (GUIs), create custom controls, manage resources (e.g., string tables and icons), and perform other desktop- centric programming tasks. In addition, a separate API named GDI+ (represented by the System.Drawing.dll assembly) provides additional types that allow programmers to generate 2D graphics, interact with networked printers, and manipulate image data. The Windows Forms (and GDI+) APIs remain alive and well within the .NET 4.0 platform, and they will exist within the base class library for quite some time (arguably forever). However, Microsoft has shipped a brand new GUI toolkit called Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) since the release of .NET 3.0. As you saw in Chapters 27-31, WPF provides a massive amount of horsepower that you can use to build bleeding-edge user interfaces, and it has become the preferred desktop API for today’s .NET graphical user interfaces. The point of this appendix, however, is to provide a tour of the traditional Windows Forms API. One reason it is helpful to understand the original programming model: you can find many existing Windows Forms applications out there that will need to be maintained for some time to come. Also, many desktop GUIs simply might not require the horsepower offered by WPF.
