Title
Constraints and Object Identity
Abstract
Constraint imperative programming is an integration of declarative constraints and imperative object-oriented programming. The primary goal of this integration is to use constraints to express relations among objects explicitly— relations that were implicit in the code in previous languages. However, one of the fundamental concepts of object-orient ed programming, object identity, can result in implicit relations, even when explicit identity constraints are supported. We analyze the problem and propose a solution—identity constraints—which we have implemented in our Kaleidoscope'93 language. This solution is understandabl e, efficiently implementable, and compatible with the Kaleidoscope constraint model.
