Creating classes during runtime

by Wietse Van Aerde · in Technical Issues · 01/31/2008 (4:55 am) · 2 replies

Not language specific question:

Is there a name for the technique where you create classes during run-time?
That way I know what to search for in the overabundance of information.

A technique that does something similair is also welcome.

I don't know if there's a name for it other than "run-time class definition" or "run-time class declaration". I think it's a technique limited to scripting languages. Of course it might be possible in Smalltalk, it seems anything and everything OO is available in Smalltalk.

You could call datablock in torquescript for classes(?). And they can be created during runtime. So there is at least one technique for this.
