In compiling a base class b with virtual function v, I declare
virtual int
b::v( b* bp )
{
return 0;
}
where the intent is that derived classes may have good use for bp, but
the base class represents a null case.
cfront naturally warns about the unused argument.
Is this excessive in the case of a virtual function? Is there
a syntax (such as omitting ``bp'') that will allow me to say ``I know
that an argument is passed, but I don't need it'' ? With virtuals, this
might be a common situation.
As usual, if this could better have been handled by private mail,
sill someone please let me know?
