Adapter es un patrón de diseño estructural que permite colaborar a objetos incompatibles.
El patrón Adapter actúa como envoltorio entre dos objetos. Atrapa las llamadas a un objeto y las transforma a un formato y una interfaz reconocible para el segundo objeto.
Ejemplos de uso: El patrón Adapter es muy común en el código C++. Se utiliza muy a menudo en sistemas basados en algún código heredado. En estos casos, los adaptadores crean código heredado con clases modernas.
Identificación: Adapter es reconocible por un constructor que toma una instancia de distinto tipo de clase abstracta/interfaz. Cuando el adaptador recibe una llamada a uno de sus métodos, convierte los parámetros al formato adecuado y después dirige la llamada a uno o varios métodos del objeto envuelto.
Ejemplo conceptual
Este ejemplo ilustra la estructura del patrón de diseño Adapter. Se centra en responder las siguientes preguntas:
¿De qué clases se compone?
¿Qué papeles juegan esas clases?
¿De qué forma se relacionan los elementos del patrón?

Client: The Adaptee class has a weird interface. See, I don't understand it:
Adaptee: .eetpadA eht fo roivaheb laicepS
Client: But I can work with it via the Adapter:
Adapter: (TRANSLATED) Special behavior of the Adaptee.
Herencia múltiple
En C++, el patrón Adapter puede implementarse utilizando la herencia múltiple.
