[aspectc-user] Defining an Aspect Instantiation Model with ac++1.0

Hi,

There are different classes like "Child" and "Child1" with various
functionalities.
To work transparently across all frameworks, an abstract base class called
"Parent_Impl" has been added that delegates to concreter subclasses via
virtual method calls.

I want to specialize my framework with a concrete subclass (i.e., a subclass
with no virtual methods) and thus eliminate the generality by using a
particular child instance directly.
For example I know child class Child1 is to be used, I want to define that
in my aspect and thus bypass parent.

Hope I have made things little clearer :)

Thanks,
Dimple

Hi,

sorry for the late answer.

I have to say that I don't understand what you want to achieve. 
Redirecting the execution of parent functions to child functions sounds 
like the normal late binding mechanism with virtual functions. Do you 
want to achieve the same without having to declare the functions as 
'virtual'?

Please describe your goal a bit more precise.

- Olaf
