[orbitcpp-list] to hell with inheritance ;)

[Andreas K. <ak...@ix...>]

Hi Phil,

something came to my mind just this moment. we cannot use inheritance on
the stubs, right? We may single-inherit them from CORBA::Object, but
that's about it. If we use virtual inheritance, the compiler will add
some thunking data, which will be broken (i.e. non-existent) the very
moment we reinterpret_cast a CORBA_Object_struct to be a stub. yet, the
spec demands implicit widening, so we need to add cast operators for
each and every base class. correct? is there any way around this?

bye,

andy

PS: If any of my recent rather technical question-answer-style posts to
this list seemed rude or too demanding to you, I'd like to say sorry for
this. I didn't mean to be offensive in any way, just in case you felt it
to be like this. :)
