Take a look, for example, to COS (C Object System) which implements OOP on top of your C compiler. The object system itself is inspired by CLOS (Common Lisp Object System) and Objective-C (in turn inspired by Smalltalk). It also allows &amp;#x27;automatic&amp;#x27; allocation by reference counting. https://github.com/CObjectSystem/COS Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1003.2547&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1003.2547/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
