A scheme for single-inheritance object-oriented programming in Ada83 is presented in which man y methods are determined at compile time using "generic" subprogram overloading. Unlike previous schemes for object-oriented programming in Ada83, which rely exclusively on derived types fo r inheritance, our scheme utilizes both derived types and generic units, and hence is more powerful. In particular, inheritance schemes based on derived types cannot handle the C++ concept o f "virtual function", while our scheme determines many of these methods at compile time. Our results call into question Bertrand Meyer's conclusions regarding the weakness of generic units.
