Abstract
. Research into persistent programming languages and systems in recent years has shown that the technology is useful for developing complex software in many problem domains. This paper explores the issues and consequences of adding persistence to Ada95. The persistence extensions support transparent migration of objects between a program's address space and a persistent store in a way that preserves both type safety and encapsulation of abstract data types. Keywords and Phrases: Kinds of systems: persistent systems; Ada95; object-oriented technology. 1 Introduction Ada has recently undergone an intensive and major review and update. The result of this is the new programming language Ada95[23] which is, in the main, backward compatible with Ada83[36]. Two of the principle changes to Ada were the addition of new constructs to change it from an object-based language to a fully fledged object-oriented language and the provision of annexes defining additional language capabilities for spec...
