I think this would be really interesting to know! Simply replying will count you in. If you use them pretty extensively, please add a ### distinguishing mark (or something). Thanks much. ###

No, I think he's referring to D's "interface" keyword. How many people make use of interfaces in D in their normal OO programming practice?

Yes; the "interface" keyword is what I meant. Thanks John. "John Reimer" wrote..No, I think he's referring to D's "interface" keyword. How many people make use of interfaces in D in their normal OO programming practice?

Everyone has to use an interface to use D. Notepad is an interface. I guess your talking about an advanced interface. I use DIDE.

I think J was trying to make a joke ;-) Anyways, I use interfaces as much as I can get away with (which is not much yet, as I haven't written so much actual D code yet, I admit). As an aside, I'm with Kris on the interface/class inheritance issue. I think Vathix made a very good point a bit earlier about the whole thing being an issue that stems from C++-style multiple inheritance... but D doesn't have multiple inheritance, so it seems to me that the Java approach is the more appropriate way to go. Cheers, Jan

I don't have a normal "D" programming practice--I'm new to the language. However I make use of the interface concept regularly in OO programming. This is affectionately known as the "Bridge Pattern" in GoF speak. In C++ I have to resort to a pure virtual abstract class to represent the interface, but I wouldn't consider a language modern if it did not support it. So count me as a ######### Yes, I use interfaces all the time.

I do. If I'm going to build an inheritance tree then I'm likely to do so with interfaces and then build classes in where appropriate. The new stream stuff I've done that will be released someday works this way. Sean

i don't use them in D, simply because i don't do much D programming, and because i never used them in C++! though i really like the concept of them, but i'm not quite clear on just what situations i'd use them in. :)

### How can one not? Multiple inheritance is pretty much necessary, and interfaces are the only implementation of that in D. (I much prefer Eiffel's approach...but I'm not writing the compiler.)
Jul 25 2004
I certainly do. That is a big important aspect of OO programming. ### Jaap In article <cdv28j$1fbe$1 digitaldaemon.com>, Kris says...I think this

I've used them a little. E.g. in the clipboard stuff I was writing last week for SDWF 0.3. Stewart. -- My e-mail is valid but not my primary mailbox, aside from its being the unfortunate victim of intensive mail-bombing at the moment. Please keep replies on the 'group where everyone may benefit.

Then how does anyone get counted OUT? Or are you assuming that everyone who didn't reply doesn't use interfaces? But then, how do you know how many people didn't reply? Are you counting lurkers or just regular posters? What if they're on holiday? Why not stick a /real/ poll on a Yahoo group or something, and invite us all to vote in it. I agree with you that the answer would be "really interesting to know". I just don't think you're going to find that answer on this thread. Jill

That it's a petition. Except that most petitions request a course of action.... Stewart. -- My e-mail is valid but not my primary mailbox, aside from its being the unfortunate victim of intensive mail-bombing at the moment. Please keep replies on the 'group where everyone may benefit.
