    Study Notes

    Chapter 12 Topics

    • OOP Languages support procedural and data-oriented programming (e.g., C++) or functional programming (e.g., CLOS).
    • Newer languages may not support other paradigms (e.g., Java, C#).
    • Some languages are purely object-oriented (e.g., Smalltalk, Ruby).
    • Functional languages may support OOP, but aren't discussed here.

    Object-Oriented Programming

    • Three major language features are:
      • Abstract data types (Chapter 11)
      • Inheritance
      • Polymorphism
    • Inheritance is central to OOP and supporting languages.

    Inheritance

    • Productivity increases come from code reuse.
    • ADTs (Abstract Data Types) are reusable but often require changes.
    • Inheritance defines new classes in terms of existing ones, letting them inherit common parts.
    • Inheritance addresses code reuse after minor changes and the definition of classes in a hierarchy.

    Object-Oriented Concepts

    • ADTs are called classes.
    • Class instances are objects.
    • A class that inherits is a derived class or subclass.
    • Classes from which another class inherits are parent classes or superclasses.
    • Subprograms defining operations on objects are called methods.
    • Calls to methods are messages.
    • An object's complete set of methods is its message protocol or message interface.
    • Messages have a method name and destination object.
    • A class often inherits all entities of its parent class.
    • Inheritance can be complex due to access controls to encapsulated entities– a class can hide entities from subclasses or clients.
    • A class can modify an inherited method by overriding it.

    Object-Oriented Concepts (continued)

    • Several ways classes differ from their parent: Adding variables/methods, modifying inherited method behavior, and defining private variables/methods.

    Object-Oriented Concepts (continued)

    • Two kinds of variables in a class: Class variables (one per class); Instance variables (one per object).
    • Methods in a class include: Class methods (accept messages to the class); Instance methods (accept messages to objects).
    • Disadvantages of inheritance: creates dependencies amongst classes that increase maintenance efforts.

    Dynamic Binding

    • A polymorphic variable can reference objects of the class and any descendants.
    • Dynamic binding occurs when methods are called through polymorphic variables in a class hierarchy.
    • This allows for more easily extended software systems during development and maintenance.

    Dynamic Binding Concepts

    • An abstract method only defines a protocol (without implementation).
    • An abstract class contains at least one virtual method.
    • An abstract class cannot be instantiated.

    Design Issues for OOP Languages

    • Topics of discussion in OOP languages: Exclusivity of objects, relationship between subclasses and subtypes, single/multiple inheritance, object allocation/deallocation, dynamic/static binding, nested classes, object initialization.

    The Exclusivity of Objects

    • The advantage of everything being an object is elegance and purity.
    • The disadvantage of these systems is the relatively slow operations on simple objects
    • Adding objects to an imperative-style typing system provides fast operations on simple objects but results in a confusing type system.

    Are Subclasses Subtypes?

    • The relationship between a parent class and a subclass object is an "is-a" relationship.
    • If a derived class is "is-a" parent class, subclass objects should behave similarly to parent class objects.
    • A derived class is a subtype if it has an "is-a" relationship with its parent.
    • Subclasses can add variables/methods but must override parent methods "compatibly."
    • Subclasses inherit implementation, but subtypes inherit both interface and behavior.

    Single and Multiple Inheritance

    • Multiple inheritance allows new classes to inherit from two or more classes.
    • Disadvantages of multiple inheritance: Increased complexity, potential inefficiency, dynamic binding.
    • In general, in cases where appropriate, multiple inheritance may be useful in cases where such relationships benefit it.

    Allocation and Deallocation of Objects

    • Objects can be allocated from the runtime stack following the ADT paradigm, from heap storage or explicitly.
    • If objects are stack-based, a problem exists with subtypes (object slicing).
    • Deallocation can be explicit or implicit.

    Dynamic and Static Binding

    • Should binding of messages to methods be dynamic?
    • If none are dynamic, the advantages of dynamic binding are lost; if all are dynamic, it's inefficient.
    • Design should allow the user to specify.

    Nested Classes

    • Define a new class that's needed only by one class.
    • Can the new class be nested inside the class that needs it?
    • Issues: visibility facilities of the nesting class to the nested class or vice versa.

    Initialization of Objects

    • Are objects initialized to values on creation?
    • Implicit or explicit initialization of objects.
    • Issues with parent class member initialization when creating a subclass object.

    Support for OOP in Smalltalk

    • Smalltalk is a pure OOP language.
    • Everything is an object.
    • Objects use local memory to store data.
    • Computing occurs through objects sending messages to other objects.
    • Uses a heap to allocate objects.
    • Deallocation is implicit.
    • Classes cannot be nested in other classes.

    Support for OOP in Smalltalk (continued)

    • A Smalltalk subclass inherits all instance variables, methods (instance and class), and parent class superclass.
    • All subclasses are subtypes.
    • Inheritance is implemented.
    • Doesn't support multiple inheritance.
    • Dynamic binding is fundamental, looking for a method in an object, its superclass, etc.
    • Evaluation: Simple syntax and high power, but slower compared to compiled imperative languages.

    Support for OOP in C++

    • Evolved from C and SIMULA 67.
    • Widely used OOP language.
    • Mixed type system.
    • Constructors/destructors present.
    • Access controls (private, public, protected) for class entities.
    • Class doesn't need to inherit from another class.

    Support for OOP in C++ (continued)

    • Access controls for members: Private (visible to members and friends); Public (visible to subclasses and clients); Protected (visible to class and subclasses; not clients).
    • Inheritance can be "private."
    • Public derivation passes public and protected members to subclasses as public/protected.
    • Reexportation using the scope resolution operator permits accessing a private member in a child class.

    Support for OOP in C++ (continued)

    • Multiple inheritance is available.
    • Dynamic binding by defining methods to be virtual.
    • Pure virtual functions have no definition, and have no default behavior.
    • A class with a pure virtual function is abstract.
    • If objects are allocated from the stack, operations differ.
    • Evaluation: extensive access controls, multiple inheritance, and dynamic binding make it a very useful language.

    Support for OOP in Java

    • Close relationship to C++.
    • Data (except primitives) are objects.
    • Primitive types have wrapper classes.
    • Objects are heap-dynamic.
    • Finalize method called when garbage collection reclaims storage.
    • Interfaces include only method declarations.
    • Methods can be final.
    • All subclasses are subtypes.

    Support for OOP in Java (continued)

    • Dynamic binding is used unless a method is declared final.
    • Methods are static or private to avoid overriding.
    • Nested classes (inner, static, or local are hidden in package) are supported.
    • Evaluation: OOP design decisions similar to C++ but with no procedural programming support, parentless classes, and dynamic method binding (uses interfaces to support multiple inheritance).

    Support for OOP in C#

    • Supports OOP mechanisms similar to Java.
    • Includes both classes and structs.
    • Classes similar to Java's; structs are less powerful, stack-dynamic constructs without inheritance.

    Support for OOP in C# (continued)

    • Syntax for defining classes similar to C++.
    • Inherited methods in derived classes may be marked 'new' for replacement- otherwise, the original parent method can be invoked using "base.Draw()."
    • Subclasses are subtypes if no members are private on the parent class.
    • Only single inheritance is supported.

    Support for OOP in C# (continued)

    • Dynamic binding is possible by marking methods virtual.
    • Derived class methods can override virtual parent methods (override keyword).
    • Abstract classes have abstract methods.
    • All C# classes are ultimately derived from a single class: Object.

    Support for OOP in C# (continued)

    • Nested classes resemble Java's static nested classes.
    • C# nested classes cannot behave like Java's non-static nested classes.

    Support for OOP in C# (continued)

    • Evaluation:
    • Newer C-based OO language.
    • Differences between it and Java are minor.

    Support for OOP in Ruby

    • Everything is an object in Ruby.
    • Computations occur via message passing.
    • Class definitions are executable and allow secondary definitions to expand existing classes; method definitions are executable.
    • All variables are type-less references.
    • Access control is different for data and methods.
    • Methods can be public, private, or protected.
    • Access is checked at runtime.
    • Getters and setters declared using shortcuts.

    Support for OOP in Ruby (continued)

    • Access to inherited methods can differ from parent classes.
    • Subclasses aren't necessarily subtypes.
    • All variables are typeless and polymorphic.
    • Doesn't support abstract classes and does not support multiple inheritance.
    • Access controls are weaker than in other languages.

    Implementing OO Constructs

    • Interesting issues include storage structures for instance variables and dynamic binding of messages to methods.

    Instance Data Storage

    • Class instance records (CIRs) store an object's state.
    • CIRs are static (built at compile time).
    • Subclass CIRs inherit parent variables.
    • Accessing instance variables from CIRs is efficient because access is done as in records.

    Dynamic Binding of Methods Calls

    • Statically bound methods in a class aren't contained in the CIR.
    • Methods dynamically bound to CIRs are connected to the code using a pointer.
    • CIR storage structures are sometimes called virtual method tables (vtable).
    • Method calls can be offsets from the beginning of the vtable.

    Reflection

    • Programming languages with reflection permit runtime access to object types and structure and ability to modify behavior.
    • Types/structure of programs are called metadata.
    • Examining program metadata is introspection.
    • Interceding program execution is intercession.

    Reflection (continued)

    • Programs use reflection for software tools (e.g., class browsers).
    • Visual IDEs use type information.
    • Debuggers examine private fields and methods.
    • Test systems use reflection to know class methods.

    Reflection in Java

    • Java provides limited reflection support from java.lang.Class.
    • Java runtime instantiates a Class object for each program object.
    • Class methods, getMethods, getDeclaredMethods/Method find public/all methods.

    Reflection in C#

    • .NET languages place intermediate code in assemblies along with program metadata.
    • System.Type is the reflection namespace; getType() is used instead of getClass().

    Downsides of Reflection

    • Reflection has performance implications.
    • Reflection exposes private fields and methods.
    • Reflection can negate early type checking.
    • Some code might not run under a security manager (making it non-portable).

    Summary

    • OOP involves ADTs, inheritance, and dynamic binding.
    • Design issues include exclusivity of objects and subclasses.
    • Smalltalk is purely object-oriented, and C++ has a mixed type system.
    • Java and C# are primarily object-oriented, and Ruby is purely object-oriented.
