Every programmer and software project manager must master the art
of creating reusable software modules; they are the building blocks
of large, reliable applications. Unlike some modern object-oriented
languages, C provides little linguistic support or motivation for
creating reusable application programming interfaces (APIs). While
most C programmers use APIs and the libraries that implement them
in almost every application they write, relatively few programmers
create and disseminate new, widely applicable APIs. C Interfaces
and Implementations shows how to create reusable APIs using
interface-based design, a language-independent methodology that
separates interfaces from their implementations. This methodology
is explained by example. The author describes in detail 24
interfaces and their implementations, providing the reader with a
thorough understanding of this design approach.
Features of C Interfaces and Implementations:
- Concise interface descriptions that comprise a reference manual
for programmers interested in using the interfaces.
- A guided tour of the code that implements each chapter's
interface tp help those modifying or extending an interface or
designing related interfaces.
- In-depth focus on "algorithm engineering: " how to package data
structures and related algorithms into reusable modules.
- Source code for 24 APIs and 8 sample applications is examined,
with each presented as a "literate program" in which a thorough
explanation is interleaved with the source code.
- Rarely documented C programming tricks-of-the-trade.
- Convenient access to all source code in the book via the World
Wide Web at http: //www.cs.princeton.edu/software/cii/
