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. 1 Introduction Ada has recently undergone a major cycle of review and update. The result of this is the new programming language Ada95[12] which is, in the main, backward compatible with Ada83[18]. Two of the principle changes to Ada were the addition of constructs to make it a fully fledged object-oriented language and the use of annexes for defining specialist language capabilities. This paper examines the emerging technology of persistence, and considers how persistent programming can be supported in Ada. We start by introducing...
