A First Implementation of Modular Smalltalk
نویسندگان
چکیده
A "first" implementation of the Modular Smalltalk object-oriented programming language is presented. The implementation includes an object-oriented parser, object-oriented representation for code fragments and an object-oriented C-code generator, all implemented in Smalltalk-80. This implementation validates two of the five design principles of the Modular Smalltalk language and provides a vehicle for validating the other three design principles. The macro-based C-code generator is easily adaptable to generating production code in other languages like assembler. In addition, the generation technique applies to source languages other than Modular Smalltalk. The implementation includes an efficient method dispatch based on new extensions to incremental cache table coloring.

Modular approach for an ASIC integration of electrical drive controls
VLSI circuits design allows today to consider new modes of implementation for electrical controls. However, design techniques require an adaptation effort that few designers, too accustomed to the software approach, provide. The authors of this article propose to develop a methodology to guide the electrical designers towards optimal performances of control algorithms implementation. Thus, they...
متن کاملAdding Dynamic Interfaces to Smalltalk
The term Interface is central to object-oriented methodologies [Reen96] and object foundation [Abad96], and has been recently popularised by COM and Java. Smalltalk had interfaces implicitly from its beginning. However, since Smalltalk does not have interfaces as first-class objects, they cannot be conversed with, referred to, or reflected upon. Because interfaces has proven to be extremely use...
متن کاملThe Design and Implementation of Distributed Smalltalk the Design and Implementation of Distributed Smalltalk
Distributed Smalltalk (DS) is an implementation of Smalltalk that allows objects on diierent machines to send and respond to messages. It also provides some capability for sharing objects among users. The distributed aspects of the system are largely user transparent and preserve the reactive quality of Smalltalk objects. Distributed Smalltalk is currently operational on a network of Sun workst...
متن کاملImplementation of the GARF
This paper presents the design and implementation of the GARF system, an object-oriented platform that helps programming fault-tolerant distributed applications in a modular way. The originality of GARF is to separate a distributed object into several objects, the complexity of distribution and fault-tolerance being encapsulated in reusable classes. The use of those classes by the GARF system i...
متن کاملA Novel Hybrid-Excited Modular Variable Reluctance Motor for Electric Vehicle Applications: Analysis, Comparison, and Implementation
A variable reluctance machine (VRM) has been proven to be an outstanding candidate for electric vehicle (EV) applications. This paper introduces a new double-stator, 12/14/12-pole three-phase hybrid-excited modular variable reluctance machine (MVRM) for EV applications. In order to demonstrate the superiorities of the proposed structure, the static torque characteristics and dynamic performance...
