Object-Oriented
Software Construction,
second edition:
USING INHERITANCE WELL
Bertrand Meyer, ISE
Note
This text is taken from chapter 25 of the book
Object-Oriented Software Construction,
second edition, Prentice Hall, 1997.
For this particular chapter the version used is in fact not the final one,
although it is close. It was made available as a draft in connection with a
shorter article on the same subject (how to use inheritance well) in the Object
Technology department of IEEE Computer. We apologize for the obvious
formatting deficiencies (margin notes appearing as improperly clipped inserts,
figures sometimes clipped too). This text is only intended to give an idea of
the actual book, which is of course
properly formatted, using two colors and many figures; the accompanying CD has
everything under the same format as the book, with all cross-references
transformed into clickable hyperlinks.
