Abstract

Polymorphism, based on inheritance and dynamic binding in standard object-oriented languages allows designers to customize the behavior of functions defined in particular base classes by suitably redefining, in derived classes, other functions that they invoke But at the same time, polymorphism, especially when used in conjunction with the super mechanism that most OO languages provide, can result in complex control-flow among methods defined in various classes We develop an approach that can be used by the designer to automatically trace this control-flow; we also present results from a prototype implementation.
