Defining shared class member functions only once

[marcvanriet]

Phlucious: I'm not a programmer by training, so I'm unfamiliar with some of the lingo.

Wysota, I think we've lost someone in the discussion here..

Maybe my example with the bike and chamber didn't really fit the OP's original problem. That's the danger of an OP asking a generic question without a real-life example. And that's also the danger for a replier of using a counter-example that is taken in other directions then intended.

Anyway, what I mean to say is that OOP techniques aren't necessarely ALWAYS the best techniques for handling a problem. Especially for a novice. Can we agree on that ?

Thanks for the pointer to the 'visitor' pattern. Didn't know that, will study it in more detail.

Regards,
Marc

I think multiple inheritance is a viable approach here.

OK, you win

[wysota]

You have the right to have your own opinion, as do I to have mine. Nobody wins or loses here.

I know. Notice the smiley in the last post

I just wanted to acknowledge your superiority in the matter. After all, I'm just an electronics guy that does some embedded and PC software programming too.

Notice the smiley again

Happy new year by the way !
