Flexible C++ #9: Succinct Options Validation with Expression Templates
Matthew Wilson
One of C++'s greatest strengths is its support for powerful and succinct expression. (It can, of course, be a weakness if abused, but we're going to be optimistic in this installment.) This support includes facilities such as function/method overloading, operator overloading, templates, and exceptions to name but a few.
The CORBA Component Model Part 4: Implementing Components with CCM
Steve Vinoski, Bala Natarajan, Douglas C. Schmidt
Our previous columns presented the design of our stock quoter example using the CORBA Component Model (CCM) and described how the CCM container architecture and Component Implementation Framework (CIF) are designed. This column deepens our coverage of CCM by showing how the CIF can be used to implement the components in our stock quoter application using C++ and CCM and interact with component containers, which provide the runtime environment for one or more component implementations called executors, which in turn are where components are actually implemented by CCM server application developers.
