METHOD OF IMPLEMENTING INTER-CLASS ASSOCIATION IN OBJECT- ORIENTED DESIGN, AND AUTOMATIC SOURCE-CODE GENERATION SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent possibility of external, wrong use of means for initializing data members and bug generation due to forgetting of initialization, etc., in development of object-oriented software.;SOLUTION: An exclusive function for initializing data members holding inter-classes association is provided outside the classes so that the data members can be initialized collectively within the function after all instances have been generated. Furthermore, in each class, the data members are made to be members undisclosed to the outside of the class, and the exclusive function is declared to be a friend function accessible by the undisclosed members.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2002,JPO
