hello,
I need to develop a mechanism to selectively inherit member variables
and functions from Base into Derived.
class Base {int a;};
class A: public Base {int b;};
class B: public C {int c;};
class D: public D {int d;};
...
class Derived-X: public X; //include all members til class X
I also posed myself this problem when I learned C++ and it IS the C++
problem. Most classes show the same concern as to reduce size for it
and its possible derivations. Some solutions can be quite complex and
are not worth the while when you consider pointers vs architecture
complexity. I think that was the reason for virtual inheritance and
templates to make it into the language... but it only makes sense for
functionality bundles, not to bundle together data types, for this
last case it is much better to make as many structs suitably named as
data type combinations are relevant...
the invariant. As such, it makes little sense to have a class with only
