Yes, I read the ARM, but would like to hear your opinion.
I want to interface to a binary C library from C++. The C library
creates "objects" of the following structure:
struct part1 {
atype1 a;
atype2 b;
};
struct object1 {
struct part1 A;
};
struct part2 {
atype c;
};
struct object2 {
struct part1 A;
struct part2 B;
};
Assume the types atype{n} are primitive.
Can I access those "objects" from C++ using the following class definitions:
class object1 {
atype1 a;
atype2 b;
};
class object2 : public object1 {
atype c;
};
It works fine in g++ and cfront 2.0, but a comment in ARM got me confused.
I am not using virtual functions.
Thanks.
