No, this is not a matter of allowing an invalid situation, the OP's code
is perfectly viable and legal. Here is a simpler example:
abstract class Parent
{
abstract void foo();
}
class Child : Parent
{
override void foo() {}
}
void main()
{
Parent parent;
parent = new Child();
}
why should it be disallowed to declare a variable of abstract type? You
aren't instantiating it. It's the act of instantiation which is not and
should not be allowed.
