CS 330 Lecture 29 – Garbage Collection

Agenda how does polymorphism work? Jim Blinn’s terrible approach the elegant vtable approach garbage collection programmers don’t get explicit reclamation right OS does reclaim memory when program stops what happens when… … we don’t call free? … we call free twice? … we call free once but leave pointer untouched? some approaches: mark-and-sweep stop-and-copy reference […]

CS 330 Lecture 28 – Inheritance and polymorphism

Agenda fixing our stack? oop: encapsulation polymorphism inheritance is-a vs. has-a inheritance tightly couples, destroys encapsulation modern thinking: limit inheritance, favor shallow hierarchies and has-a composition when inheritance is a good idea when refactoring a library you maintain when writing a GUI widget polymorphism: lets you write conductor code easy in dynamically-typed languages in statically-typed, […]

CS 330 Lecture 27 – Inheritance and polymorphism

Agenda constructors and destructors a destructor’s job: release dynamically-allocated members a linked list in C++ a Stack using inheritance in C++ implementation inheritance vs. interface inheritance the enlightened stance: favor composition, shallow hierarchies, interfaces how polymorphism works TODO Why extends is evil: http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-08-2003/jw-0801-toolbox.html?page=1 What OOP isn’t: http://hacksoflife.blogspot.com/2010/12/what-oop-isnt.html Program This Given the List<T> implementation discussed in class, write […]
