Class Derivation and Emulation of Virtual Constructors
01 January 1989
C++ and other object-oriented languages provide software packaging mechanisms called classes that permit developers to build reusable components called objects. The marketplace will begin to see libraries of objects sold as tools for application developers as object-oriented techniques become standard practice in software development projects. These libraries will be organized as collections of interrelated classes (data types) and they will permit application developers to write and integrate software much more quickly.
