Message-ID: <#7vnafk.feustel@netcom.com> Date: Sat, 12 Sep 92 00:09:34 GMT Organization: DAFCO: OS/2 Software Support & Consulting Lines: 11 Coplien's book "Advanced C++" makes the point that very little overhead would be incurred in most programe even if all functions were declared virtual and that some programs might even run faster than equivalent C programs using switch constructs to achieve the same effects. Why not define a pragma that would make all class functions virtual by default? -- Dave Feustel N9MYI RE Drug Warriors who enjoy making a "good" bust: I'm sure the Salem Witch Hunters enjoyed their law enforcement achievements too.
