Abstract
Superclass is another third-later pattern defined in this paper. During consolidation abstractions common to two of more classes can be moved to a common abstract superclass. This pattern describes that can be done, and what forces must be resolved. Finally, there is the fourth layer of refactoring (ie behavior preserving program transformation) patterns [21] that resolve the forces of this (and similar) patterns. We have found this layered approach helpful in characterizing the program consolidation phase, in 1 While the refactoring examples described herein apply most clearly to C++ programs, we have also researched how these patterns apply to programs written in Smalltalk and CLOS. understanding how refactorings can be interleaved with additions, and in ensuring that refactorings can be safely applied to object-oriented programs [21]. 2 BACKGROUND: OBJECT EVOLUTION There are three distinct phases in the evolution of object-oriented abstract classes, frameworks and components: a ...
