The rumour went around Georgia Tech that the newest GNU g++ handled multiple inheritance. Where did that rumour come from? I got "g++-1.34.1.tar.Z" from "prep.ai.mit.edu". I use a sun3. Is there even a schetchy list of what is supposed to work in this distribution? Am I overlooking some documentation file? g++.texinfo documents many things well, but seems out of date. For instance, people on the net are discussing special return variables, which are not in g++.texinfo. How did they find out about these? Multiple inheritance isn't mentioned either. What I can intuit from testing and looking at the sources, multiple inheritance works only in the following special case: -- nothing is virtual. -- variables of superclasses are not accessed directly. (i.e., you use member functions only to access your supers). Is this right? Supposed to work? TIA, Henry Strickland <strick@gatech.edu>
