Parameter Transmission Abstractions

M. O. Jokinen *

Department of Computer Science, University of Turku, SF-20500 Turku, Finland

In many programming languages parameter transmission involves implicit actions like copying, type conversions or assigning default values to optional parameters. We propose a linguistic mechanism that allows such actions to be defined within the language. The same mechanism can also be used to define most conventional parameter transmission mechanisms and pattern-matching based parameter binding.
