Re: [Dynapi-Dev] inheritance crusade / SuperClass stuff

[Dan S. <dy...@fu...>]

It is both mine and Pascal's opinion that no special inheritance system is needed for DynAPI.  Just make careful attention, and structure using basic prototypes and you can do everything (except doing multiple inheritance).  Don't overwrite variables, and you don't even necessarily need to overwrite methods, and everything works perfectly.  The most simplistic solution is often the best, and I believe that is the case here.
