Dynamic Plug-In Linking, Loading, & Dispatching with Ada 2005
This brief DDJ article shows how to build "dynamic" plugins in a statically type-checked language, so this is somewhat related to other ongoing threads. This is also a chance to take a glimpse at the new version of Ada, which I already mentioned a copule of times. It is interesting to see the convergence of programming languages (e.g., Ada will support the distinguished receiver syntax found in CC+, Java and ilk, provide an interface construct as found in Java, and will ship with a standard container library). On the other hand, each language must carry its own past into the future. Comparing the direction taken by the C++ community to the Ada effort can be somewhat enlightening. |
