Refactoring With Relations discusses
refactoring with support from the relational model
of computer programs. Code in all programming
languages needs refactoring, and a multi-language
refactoring engine is needed to refactor that
code. Refactoring is about structure, and the book
is about structure. The book proceeds to discuss the
structure of code, argues that it needs to be
identified, separated from language constructs, and
encapsulated into a container. The encapsulated
structure is preserved in a pristine state and
serves as an invariant point of reference for the
refactoring transformations.
The book defines "bad" code as one with a damaged
structure and "good" code as one with a properly
encapsulated and logically sound structure. The book
proposes the relational model as the container for
the structure of the program and to serve as a
language-independent, non-object-oriented repository
with sufficient information to support refactoring.
Relations are covered as a fundamental mathematical
tool used to describe structure. The model can be
created from existing code by a specialized parser,
and a sparse matrix partitioning algorithm can
create the refactored classes by recursively
encapsulating user types. The combination of the
model and the algorithm makes automatic polyglot
refactoring of computer code possible. The model
provides for integration of refactoring tools and
development tools into one platform.
The book also demonstrates that deep refactoring
converts "bad" code into Strong Ownership code, a
programming style described in the book, and
demonstrates that the need for refactoring may be
reduced by following the Strong Ownership
prescriptions during development. The book includes
many practical examples, presents experimental
evidence, discusses various applications and
possible implementations, and covers details of the
process of refactoring with relational support, as
well as the conversion from the model to final
object-oriented code.
Relational support for refactoring is a new concept.
The production of tools will take time, meanwhile,
developers are advised to mind Strong Ownership techniques. This
is an 83-page eBook in PDF format presenting refactoring in a new light and a much larger scale.
