c++.stlsoft - stlsoft_sterile_class does not work?
Hi, The macro 'stlsoft_sterile_class' does not seem to work for me. E.g. this code (I carried out everything to a single file, just to have it in one piece): -----cut here----- #define sterile_class(_cls) \ }; \ sterile_class(sterile_c) { }; class BadClass : public sterile_c { }; int main(int argc, char **argv) { sterile_c ss; BadClass s; return 0; } -----cut here----- compiles and runs fine for me (I use mingw 3.2.3). In fact, I do not see why this macro *is supposed* to work. Pavel

Argh! This is one of those things that should have been removed. Actually it used to work about 10 years ago, when most compilers were that way inclined. I remember seeing it in the STLSoft header files last year and thinking I needed to remove it before someone discovered that it was useless. I will do so immediately. Sorry for the waste of time (although I'm sure you've had cause to think about some inheritance stuff and all that, so hopefully not a complete waste <g>).

"Matthew" <matthew.hat stlsoft.dot.org> They're now gone from the code that will be in 1.7.1 (or *another* beta; hopefully I'm pretty close to 1.7.1 release now). Once again, sorry for the hassle.

Thanks Matthew! No, it wasn't any waste. In fact, when I saw it first, I liked the idea of giving such "final classes in C++" and immediately decided to "beat it" with a template implementation -- only to find out that the template parameter could not be a friend (I wonder why though) and only then that the preprocessor implementation did not work either. This all took at most 30 minutes alltogether and amused me quite a bit. Thanks again for all your hard work and finding time to answer Pavel Matthew wrote:Argh!
