generic programming

He is known for his work in generic programming, particularly as applied to C++.

Another way to solve the problems, in C++, is using generic programming (see below).

Its name is borrowed from the generic programming idea of a software concept.

For further discussion and comparison of generic programming paradigms, see.

At the time there was no real support in any programming language for generic programming.

Java containers also showed the limitations of an approach not based on generic programming.

New type classes for generic programming and common recursion patterns are supported.

Managed C++ includes no support for generic programming (aka templates).

It included support for generic programming as a significant extension not envisaged in the requirements.

By targeting a generic programming language, such as C, source code viruses can be very portable.

The language specification states that a future version will support generic programming based on type erasure.

In 1979 he began working out his initial ideas of generic programming and exploring their potential for revolutionizing software development.

Module systems were often wedded to generic programming constructs.

For this reason computer scientists sometimes call the use of certain forms of polymorphism generic programming.

Templates are a tool for static polymorphism (see below) and generic programming.

For a specific survey comparing suitability of mechanisms for generic programming, see.

Generics were introduced in Java 5.0 to allow type-safe generic programming.

A somewhat later invention is generic programming.

The toolkit is implemented using generic programming principles.

Generic programming (used by the C++ standard library)

C++ uses templates to enable generic programming techniques.

In generic programming, a concept is a description of supported operations on a type, including syntax and semantics.

It supports object-oriented and generic programming, and has a strong type system similar to Java.

Furthermore, generic programming allows the usage of arbitrary types as long as they provide the necessary operations.

Alexander Stepanov is an advocate of what is known as generic programming.
