Abstract

This paper presents the design of a minimal set of instruction for a class system embedded in Lisp: ObjVLisp. We re-use the set of postulates describing the operational behaviour of ObjVLisp to discuss and derive a new implementation based on a reduced set of functions and a more self-contained description. Then we develop the ObjVLisp experience in building metaclass architecture to propose a layered and incremental metaobject protocol for CLOS.

This research was partly funded by the GRECO de programmation du CNRS.
