inheritance
(foldoc) | inheritance
In {object-oriented
programming}, the ability to derive new classes from
existing classes. A derived class (or "subclass") inherits
the instance variables and methods of the "base class"
(or "superclass"), and may add new instance variables and
methods. New methods may be defined with the same names as
those in the base class, in which case they override the
original one.
For example, bytes might belong to the class of integers for
which an add method might be defined. The byte class would
inherit the add method from the integer class.
See also Liskov substitution principle, {multiple
inheritance}.

multiple inheritance
(foldoc) | multiple inheritance
In object-oriented programming, the possibility
that a class may have more than one direct superclass in the
class hierarchy.
The opposite is single inheritance.
(2014-09-06)
|
priority inheritance
(foldoc) | priority inheritance
A technique for avoiding priority inversion by
temporarily raising the prioriry of all processes that want to
access a shared resource to the highest priority level of any
of them. Priority inversion occurs where a low priority
process, L is holding a resource required by a high priority
process, H, but L is not running because a medium priority
process, M is running. Under priority inheritance, L
temporarily inherits H's priority, allowing L to run and
release the resource H is waiting for.
For example, an ambulance (H) is stuck behind a lorry (L)
waiting at a junction (the shared resource) for a gap in a
line of cars (M) using the junction. Applying priority
inheritance, the cars give way to the lorry as they would to
the ambulance, thus allowing the lorry and then the ambulance
to use the junction.

single inheritance
(foldoc) | single inheritance
In object-oriented programming, the restriction
that a class can have only one superclass in the {class
hierarchy}.
The opposite is multiple inheritance.

5. Among the civilians, by inheritance is understood the succession to
all the rights of the deceased. It is of two kinds, 1 . That which arises by
testament, when the testator gives his succession to a particular person;
and, 2. That which arises by operation of law, which is called succession ab
intestat. Hein. Lec. El. Sec. 484, 485.

TERM ATTENDANT ON THE INHERITANC
(bouvier) | TERM ATTENDANT ON THE INHERITANCE. This phrase is used in the English courts
of equity, to signify that when a term has been created for a particular
purpose, which is satisfied, and the instrument by which it is created does
not provide for a cesser of the term, on the happening of the event, the
benefit in it becomes subject to the rules of equity, and must be moulded
and disposed of according to the equitable interests of all persons having
claims upon the inheritance; and, when the purposes of the trust fire
satisfied, the ownership of the term belongs in equity, to the owner of the
inheritance, whether declared by the original conveyance to attend it or
not.
2. Terms attendant on the inheritance are but little known in the
United States. 1 Hill. Ab. 243.
