Object-Oriented Techniques with C51

 RE: Object-Oriented Techniques with C51

// Becuase of the limitations of a 8051,
//    most(if not all) of your 'classes' should singletons
//    with statically allocated storage, 
//
// I use the ClassName_Member notation on 'public' members
//    to mimic the ClassName.Member notation
//
// Here is one example of a singleton, statically allocated class:


//
// ClassName.h
//
extrn int  ClassName_property1;
extrn char ClassName_property2;

void ClassName_Ctor(void);
void ClassName_Dtor(void);

int  ClassName_Method1(char* p);
char ClassName_Method2(void);

//
// ClassName.c
//
#include "ClassName.h"

//public:
int  ClassName_property1;
char ClassName_property2;

//private:
static int property1;
static int property2;

//public:
void ClassName_Ctor(void)
{
  ClassName_property1 = 0;
  ClassName_property2 = '\0';
  property1 = 0;
  property2 = '\0';
};
//void ClassName_Dtor(void) //rarely used
//{};

int  ClassName_Method1(char* p)
{};
char ClassName_Method2(void)
{};

//private:
static int  Method1(char* p)
{};
static char Method2(void)
{};


//
// Main.h
//

static void Ctor(void)
{
  ClassName_Ctor();
  //.. other Ctors 
}

void main(void)
{
  Ctor();
  
  ClassName_property1 = 1;
  ClassName_Method1(1);
  
  while( 1 );
}
