Abstract:
A new approach to program modularity is presented, based on three key ideas: (i) elevating data type, and (iii) representing modules as objects for programmed manipulation and retention. The result is an innovative system architecture for program construction, with flexible capabilities for name space management, inter-process sharing, and incremental loading and relinking. The necessary reflective powers are provided by a permanently running system process exporting a wide repertory of module manipulation and delivery services. This approach draws on insights from both programming languages and system architecture. From programming languages, we have taken inspiration from the power of inheritance in object-oriented programming languages, and the importance of types as a basis for secure, evolvable module interfaces. From system architecture, we have profited from the server process approach to system organization, and respect for the crucial role of module binding as a system flexibility governor. A case study applying this architecture to C++ is presented, as well as a brief assessment of its role in a more comprehensive architecture for persistent object management.
