Abstract

Traditional object-oriented programming languages do not support user-level object structure definition, so it is impossible to treat external or low-level data structures (like an integer, an array and a pointer) as actual objects. To overcome this, we apply Predicate Dispatching to arbitrary data of C to create CCC. CCC is a simple language extension of C and features user-level object structure definitions, conditional-style dispatching, multi-methods, and class scoped macros.
