....no mechanism to support automatic clean up actions for instances of ADTs. Sch81] and [She82] described the importance of such finalization procedures for the implementation of ADTs with automatic resource management (e.g. recovering storage, closing files, finishing protocols, releasing locks) [Bak91] and [Bak93] showed how to emulate such automatic resource management in Ada 83, with limited private types and a clever use of generics. 1.2. The Software Engineer s Context In this situation, most C programmers would say: drop information hiding, and simply expose the internal structure and ....
