Subtopic: object as properties, identity 
| Quote: an object has an identity and a set of properties; an Aristotelian view of the world [»taivA4_1993]
| | Quote: since an object's state changes with time, an object exists 'in time'; unlike a value [»maclBJ12_1982]
| | Quote: a Kevo object shows all its properties; allows objects to be manipulated as individuals; use virtual copying to reduce memory consumption [»taivA11_1993]
|
Subtopic: attributes and properties
| Quote: a CLR property is a named value and its methods; typically a getter method and an optional setter method [»hamiJ2_2003]
| | Quote: use Ruby attributes to get and set instance variables; define explicitly or via 'attr_accessor', etc.
| | Quote: use properties for simple access to simple data with a simple computation [»cwalK_2006]
|
Subtopic: field as basic
| Note: the field concept is fundamental; name (the field), memory (its memory base), definition (the offset), and type (size of field); so long at an offset [»cbb_1990, OK]
| | Note: a field has no existence independent of an object or record; type is independent [»cbb_1990, OK]
|
Subtopic: events
| Quote: a CLR event includes methods for issuing, registering, and deregistering event notifications; like properties but with different, conventionally named methods [»hamiJ2_2003]
|
Subtopic: classes as globals
| Note: classes provide a way to program with global state that is localized to its use [»cbb_1990, OK]
|
Subtopic: object as state variables
| Quote: an object's methods interact indirectly through its state variables [»edwaSH2_1997]
| | Quote: an object is a phenomenon that changes over time, i.e., has a current state
|
Subtopic: fields defined by class
| Quote: a class definition defines names for temporaries, instance variables, and class variables [»goldA3_1976]
| | Quote: Smalltalk can define a class in the context of an object with given properties [»goldA3_1976]
| | Quote: in Simula, the attributes available depends on the object's class [»palmJ5_1973, OK]
| | Quote: a declared instance of a class is expanded into the variables recursively specified by the class's memory [»hendP9_1975]
| | Quote: in Smalltalk, objects as class instance, each object has a local state, each class has shared memory [»shocJF9_1979, OK]
| | Quote: two instances of a class respond differently to a message only if the values of their instance variables differ; they use the same method [»robsD8_1981]
| | Quote: all instances of a class have the same instance variables but different values [»robsD8_1981]
| | Quote: objects may have the same form, i.e., belong to the same class [»madsOL10_1986]
| | Quote: a Smalltalk record for a point contains fields for size, class pointer, and pointers to objects for x and y coordinate [»krasG8_1981]
| | Quote: a Self object consists of slots; a slot has a string name and any Self object) [»ungaD10_1992]
|
Subtopic: fields as interface type
| Quote: use interface types for parameters, return values, variables, and fields
|
Subtopic: polymorphic fields
| Quote: Remy's fast polymorphic record projection compresses sparse field indices using the mod operator [»wongL9_1995]
|
Subtopic: access to fields
| Quote: Ruby instance variables are always protected; accessible to subclasses only [»thomD1_2001]
|
Subtopic: problems with fields
| Quote: storage semantics in object-oriented languages leads to problems with copying, destruction, and comparison [»taivA4_1993]
| | Quote: to allocate an object, need to know its size [»stroB_1991]
| | Quote: C++ requires recompilation if the size of a class object is changed; for efficiency
