Abstract: 

Extensibility leads to better designed and more reusable software. Traditionally, implementors have built extensible C++ software using ad hoc mechanisms built from scratch. This paper identifies specific characteristics that constitute extensible software. A framework for building extensible C++ libraries has been defined and constructed on AIX 3.2. Finally, the paper gives guidelines for implementors of extensible software through a dis- cussion of an on-going application of the framework.
