This paper reports our experience with the use of the C++ language and Open C++ (a reflective version of C++) to implement reusable, dependable control structures that support the prevision of software-fault tolerance in the application layer. We first implement the support using an object library approach and then re-design it using a reflective one. We demonstrate through a realistic experiment why reflection and metaobject protocols are particularly suitable for the development of fault-tolerant programs. reflective one [10] based on metaobject protocols [6], we implement a set of control mechanisms for software-fault tolerance in C++ and Open C++ respectively. The reflective meta-level interface hides most implementation details of a fault-tolerant mechanism from the applicationlevel and enables the programmer to flexibly change the use of different fault tolerance schemes without having to change the code of application programs. Experiment-based analysis in this paper verifies the effectiveness of both
