Quote: resource acquisition is initialization. Resources, like objects, are released in the reverse order of their acquisition; works well with exception handling [»stroB_1991]

Quote: resource acquisition is initialization: resources released in reverse order of acquisition, and exceptions release allocated resources [»stroB_1994]

Quote: should disallow uninitialized variables and multiple names per declaration

Quote: it is hard for a program to guarantee uniqueness, data type consistency, and initialization [»stroB_1994]

Quote: creation of a record or data structure often needs additional computation

Quote: use a constructor to initialize an object instead of using a function; less error prone [»stroB_1991]

Quote: Java allows a superclass to call an overriding method before the object is initialized [»alexRT1_2000]

Quote: avoid Java initialization blocks; they can appear anywhere in a class; 'static' makes it a static initializer [»alexRT1_2000]

Quote: want guarantees that objects are properly initialized; but restrict data races to the low-level implementation of synchronization primitives [»pughW6_1999]

Quote: declare and initialize local variables at first use; minimizes their scope [»blocJ_2001]

Quote: use metadata to configure an application at runtime; e.g., tuning, preferences, installed directory [»huntA_2000]

Quote: the SunOS slab memory allocator retains the state of complex objects between uses; object-coloring for global cache utilization; space efficient and fast [»bonwJ6_1994]

Quote: object cache is up to 5x faster; preserves the invariant portion of an object's initial state [»bonwJ6_1994]

Quote: a constructor is not an ordinary function: not virtual, special access to memory management, no 'this' object, no pointer to function [»stroB_1991]

Quote: a C++ constructor has the same name as the class itself

Quote: can turn a constructor into an ordinary function that calls the constructor and returns a constructed object

Quote: a node class usually has a non-trivial constructor; unlike abstract types that rarely have constructors

Quote: 'new' creates an object from raw memory by allocating the memory and calling a constructor to initialize that memory [»stroB_1994]

Quote: use name-value pairs for object initialization; e.g., new Country(Name="Monaco", ...) [»bierGM10_2007]

Quote: Kevo's 'new' operator solves the problem of reserving a prototypical instance

QuoteRef: palmJ5_1973 ;;9 all data initialized- by allocation (eg New person ("john", 1936, male) by initialization routine, or zero for data and nil for pointers

QuoteRef: wulfWA4_1974 ;;7 every form has a create and destroy function for own and local instantiations

Quote: in SL5, create a record by creating an environment and then resuming once to initialize itself; uses self() [»hansDR3_1978a]

Quote: generate an object by evaluating an object designator; returns a reference [»dahlOJ_1967]

Quote: a copy constructor initializes an object by copying another object; used for initialization, argument passing, and function return [»stroB_1991]

Quote: C++ has copy constructors because it is inefficient to first initialize an object to a default value and then assigning an object [»stroB_1994]

Quote: a Kevo object defines a clone operation to duplicate the object, and a new operation to create an initialized object. The programmer selects which variables to duplicate or initialize [»taivA11_1993]

Quote: a copy constructor creates a copy; zapping a value does not change other initializations [»dehnJC4_1998]

Quote: provide implicit typing for initialized type declarations [»dorwSM1_1997]

Quote: a record is a list of field declarations that define a name, a type, and a default value; either the type or default may be omitted [»cardL_1991]

Quote: assignment and initialization are different operations; assignment only applies to properly constructed objects

Quote: constructing a type with an initial value is the same as assigning a value; both values equal afterwards [»dehnJC4_1998]

Quote: 'new' needs memory placement arguments for hardware-specific addresses, custom memory allocation, and general resource management [»stroB_1994]

Quote: with memory placement arguments, 'new' can assist with general resource management

Quote: allow declarations were needed. Used for initialize-only/single-assignment programming, references, initialized constants, and efficiency. [»stroB_1994]

Quote: typestate captures the degree of initialization of simple and composite objects [»stroRE5_1985]

Quote: can have a value 'unassigned' that makes a variable uninitialized [»winnRI10_1984]

Quote: Smalltalk sets 'isnew' true to initiate initialization

Quote: added 'init' predicate for guards; true only during the first execution of a loop [»parnDL8_1983]

Quote: avoid incompletely constructed objects by setting a "fully constructed" flag on each object [»spooD6_2006]

Quote: for initialization, compiled languages fastest and script languages slowest; Java in between [»precL10_2000]
