Corresponding source code
The existing versions of DDD are based on the venerable Unix GUI toolkit, X/Motif. Calls to the X/Motif libraries are scattered liberally throughout the source code. We wish to separate the GUI from the main program logic, so that development of DDD can proceed without requiring simultaneous updates to N separate platform-specific implementations. In order to do this we will introduce a “shim” or “wrapper” which will connect DDD to the underlying GUI toolkit. In order to implement DDD using another toolkit, the only necessary modification is the creation of a new wrapper. Modifications to the DDD core logic will automatically affect all implementations.
Each wrapper will thus have two interfaces:
The specification of the upper interface will be common to all wrappers. It will have the following properties:
The lower interface is the API of the underlying GUI toolkit, for example Motif, gtkmm or Qt. The bulk of the wrapper code will do two things:
