On the role of language constructs for framework design

Hedin, Görel LU orcid and Knudsen, Jørgen Lindskov (2000) In ACM Computing Surveys 32(1es).
Abstract
The relationship between framework design and

language constructs are discussed for two reasons:

firstly, designing frameworks requires the ability to

give the framework designer precise control over

aspects of the framework extensions; secondly, the

framework constraints should be specified such that

they are statically checkable. Four existing language

constructs are discussed: generalized block structure,

generalized inheritance, generalized virtuality, and

singular objects. It is discussed how these language

constructs give precise means for controlling the

framework extensions in statically checkable ways.
