- Sub: C++ VMTs again
-
- Ahhh, yes. But you haven't answered my question exactly.
-
- So, MPW C++ has been extended to support Object Pascal-style VMTs. Is it also
- true, though, that C++ classes that *don't* inherit from PascalObject use the
- standard C++ 2.0 flat lookup table dispatching mechanism, as defined by
- Stroustrup and implemented in the AT&T CFront 2.0? Or does MPW C++ always use
- Object Pascal VMTs, whatever the situation?
-
- What happens if an object is derived from both a PascalObject *and* from a
- standard C++ 2.0 style class? Can one class mix both despatching mechanisms?
- How is this resolved?
-
- Regards, Paul
