What is a class in Ada ?
Does Ada have a "Class" facility in the same sense that C++ or Java have
such ?
Tagged records appeared to me at first to be pretty close to the class
notion. There are problems though because there are no member functions
in records - they approximate to C/C++ structs (yes ?). As I understand
it,
these are Abstract Data Types - and not in themselves dynamic objects.
In C++, the definition
of a class appears fairly transparent and not much more difficult than
creating
an instance of a record in Ada. I have not found anything in my html
tutes or paper
books to tell me more about "Objects" in Ada. Yet.
So - are the packages of Ada the class definitions, maybe ?
I am still learning, excuse my simplicity.
