We present a design of a module system for C++, along with rationale for the design
choices. The document focuses on programmer's view of modules (both production and …

The past three decades have seen a plethora of language features for large-scale software
composition. Some of these are fairly simple, others quite sophisticated. Each embodies an …

The component-based design of software projects is a desired property both for
development and ease of code comprehension. Programming languages have long allowed …

We propose an extension to the C standard called Modular C. It consists in the addition of a
handful of directives and a naming scheme transforming traditional translation units into …

Component software sets out to address some of the fundamental problems separating
software construction as executed today from a long-held vision of reuse, extensibility, and …

Combinations of C++ features, like inheritance, templates, and class nesting, allow for the
expression of powerful component patterns. In particular, research has demonstrated that …

Component programming techniques help programmers manage the intrinsic complexity of
large software systems by supporting their modular construction from collections of smaller …

Components and Modules can be written in Python or in C/C++. A client of a module is not
aware whether it is written in Python or in a system programming language. On systems with …

Unlike ADA or Modula-2, the programming language C is not inherently modular. But by
exploiting certain features of the language it is possible to build modular design into C …
