Dear all,
Such a coincidence: just today I tried to get a set of classes into CINT and
stumbled on the same problem: I use quite a lot of multiple virtual inheritance,
because it is a nice way to seperate interface and implementation. However, when
compiling the dictionairy I get errors which indeed seem to have something to do
with the virtual inheritance. Is there any chance that this mechanism gets
supported in the (really) near future ?
Thanks, regards,
Wouter
