Jon, don't know why you say this. I have some vague recollection of you
talking about Sather's separate interface and implementation *inheritance*.
But Ada doesn't even support that, so I'm not sure what you're thinking
of. Please explain why you make this association.
:The spec/impl is to separate the way that clients see the class
:(interface) from actual code/structure. This is done in Eiffel by the
:short tool. The short tool generates the interface to an eiffel class
:with more spec. than is done in Ada.
:
:There is no need to write the interface if it could be stracted from the
:source code. I should know that Ada was based on Modula-2 that used this
:way of separating. Oberon, the sucessor of Modula-2, uses automatic
:interface generating tool.
I'm with you on this. Your point was raised in the "Real OO" thread Jon
refers to.
This is how I would 'match' these facilities in Ada and Eiffel:
Ada Eiffel
--- ------
abstract tagged type deferred class
abstract operation deferred routine
package interface (output of short tool)
package body class
