Re: More keyword abomination by C++0x

default


My 2p, I'd like to see an additional "label" along with public,protected &
private for delete. Stuff a fn/ctor declaration in there & it gets deleted
including deleting something inherited (but not virtuals).

e.g.

class foo {
public:
    void Fn() {stuff}
delete: // or somesuch
    foo& operator=(const foo&); // no assignment pls compiler
};

class bar : public foo {
delete:
    bar(const bar&); // whack copy ctor
    void Fn(); // whack foo's Fn
public:
    void barFn() {...}
};

This would be similar in use to the way of doing it now by declaring as
private. The compiler would then throw an error of non-existent fn rather
than a private misuse or link error because no body existed.

Regarding other language constructs, I wouldn't shed a tear if references
were completely erased as the abomination they are! && what?? Pass by value
or pointer suits me just fine :) Source reads better dereferencing with .
all the time but that's about the only benefit I see. What _problem_ do
references even solve?
