- Sub: Re: Multiple Inheritance
-
- Would it make sense to restrict multiple inheritance so that the senario you
- outlined would not be possible? Suppose class A could inherit from both class
- B and C only if class B and C had no common ancestors (other than possibly
- TObject). I would be interested in knowing if anyone feels that this would be
- a serious restriction.
-
- I have not made use of multiple inheritance in any of my programming. I have
- not tried it with MPW C++ because MacApp will not support it. The only time I
- wished I could use multiple inheritance, this restriction would not have caused
- a problem.
-
- If anyone has an opinion on this issue or knows how various OOP systems handle
- this, I would be interested in hearing from you.
-
- Sincerely,
-
