Macro Processing in Object-Oriented Languages
نویسنده
چکیده
There are a number of programmable macro systems such as Lisp’s. While they can handle complex program transformation, they still have difficulty in handling some kinds of transformation typical in object-oriented programming. This paper examines this problem and, to address it, presents an advanced macro system based on ideas borrowed from reflection. Unlike other macro systems, our macro system provides metaobjects as the data structure used for the macro processing instead of an abstract syntax tree. This feature makes it easy to implement a range of transformations of object-oriented programs.

متن کاملObject-Oriented Method for Automatic Extraction of Road from High Resolution Satellite Images
As the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. This processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...
متن کاملDeclarative Semantics in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey
One of the modern paradigms to develop an application is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles in applications. In an application, we must distinguish between procedural semantics and declarative semantics for their implementation in a specific programming language. For the procedural semantics, we can write a ...
متن کاملA First Implementation of Modular Smalltalk
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 vehi...
متن کاملObject and Action Naming: A Study on Persian-Speaking Children
Objectives: Nouns and verbs are the central conceptual linguistic units of language acquisition in all human languages. While the noun-bias hypothesis claims that nouns have a privilege in children’s lexical development across languages, studies on Mandarin and Korean and other languages have challenged this view. More recent cross-linguistic naming studies on children in German, Turkish,...
