I had an idea for something the other day, but it now appears that it will not work. Nevertheless, I thought that I might as well post the question on the off-chance this is possible. What I want to do is have a parent class with a bunch of non-pure virtual methods. There will be one method for each of standard signals (SIGINT,SIGHUP,SIGUSR1,...). I then want an initialization method (not the constructor) to check which of these methods have been overridden. For those methods, my parent class will declare that method as the signal handler. This would allow the child class to simply override the appropriate method and everything would be appropriately set-up.
My thought was that I would just check the address of the member method against the value of &TheParentClass::TheVirtualMethod. But that does not work because there is apparently no way to access the address of a virtual method. I thought about checking the vtable, but I haven't found any way of accessing the vtable that is in the least bit safe. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I think this would be a very cool feature if possible. _______________________________________________ help-gplusplus mailing list help-gplusplus@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gplusplus
