Gem #42: Safe and Secure Software : Chapter 6, Safe Object Construction
Author: John Barnes
Abstract: Welcome to the final gem before we take a break for the summer, which is the sixth chapter of John Barnes’ new booklet:
Safe and Secure Software: An Introduction to Ada 2005.
Over the coming months, we will be publishing all thirteen chapters of the booklet. In the attachment at the bottom of Gem #30 you can access the contents and bibliography for the entire booklet.
The gems series will recommence in September. In the meantime, we hope you have a wonderful summer!
Let’s get started…
This chapter covers a number of aspects of the control of objects. By objects here we mean both small objects in the sense of simple constants and variables of an elementary type such as Integer and big objects in the sense of Object-Oriented Programming.
Ada provides good control and flexibility in this area. This control is in many cases optional but the good programmer will use the features wherever possible and the good manager will insist upon them being used wherever possible.
Read Chapter 6 in full
Note: All chapters of this booklet will, in time, be available on the Ada 2005 home page.

I’ll miss these Gems over the summer; they’ve been very informative. When will they be resuming?
I’ve been particularly appreciating the John Barnes series, such as this epistle.
