Say I have the following class:
class MyAbs {
virtual ~MyAbs() {}
virtual void foo() = 0;
virtual void bar() {cout << "abs::bar"; }
}
class MyDer1: public MyAbs {
MyDer1() {counter = 0; }
foo() { cout << "der1::foo--" << counter++; }
int counter;
}
class MyDer2: public MyAbs {
MyDer1() {counter = 100; }
foo() { cout << "der1::foo--" << counter--; }
int counter;
}

Can I do something like this? Thanks
template <class Toy>
class MyTemplateClass{
Toy toy_;
Play() { toy_.foo(); }
}
Your code shows classes MyAbs, MyDer1 and MyDer2, yet your template shows
Toy. I'm presuming in my response that by
Toy toy_;
Play() ( toy_.foo(); )
you actually meant
MyAbs toy_;
Play() { toy_.foo(); }
No. Your template is attempting to instantize a class MyAbs which is a
virtual class. You couldn't do it in main so you couldn't do it in a
template. However, I believe you could do:
MyAbs* toy_ = new MyDer1;
Play() { toy_->foo(); }
