- Sorry - but I couldn't find this one in the FAQ (perhaps it should be
- there). I have seen 'mix-in' mentioned several times lately and I'm
- not really sure what they are. I've read Coplien's book and I
- understood that they are an implementation technique for achieving
- dynamic multiple inheritance, but I really didn't quite see "how to do
- it" from Coplien's example (it seemed too simple).
-
- Perhaps one or more of you C++ guru's out there would be willing to
- compose an appropriate document for the "uninitiated". Im sure we
- would appreciate it. Barring that, how about a bunch of C++ wizards
- sending me e-mail and I'll try to synthesize the responses into such a
- document and post it (and see about getting it included in the FAQ).
