[Consmgr-tech] Incompletely constructed objects

[Chris R. <cr...@di...>]

   This is the bane of my existence right now, and making it very hard  
for me to get anything working.  Even though I've thrown that kludge  
into Connection::manager() so that it can survive without blowing  
itself to smithereens, all of the debugging statements are reporting  
being part of an FDConnector, rather than the SocketConnector they  
really are, because the methods are being called in the wrong order (I  
think).  I guess I'm not 100% sure that it's the problem in that one  
case, but it's definitely a problem we need to solve.
   You are the one who suggested the "Make an object do everything  
it's supposed to do upon construction" methodology, which I agree has  
advantages, but looks impractical given the virtual inheritance issues  
we're seeing.  We need to figure out some other methodology, I fear.

   Thoughts?
