That is, of course, if you would ever delete the object through its base class pointer. You may also consider private inheritance as well, which is not dangerous with non-virtual base class dtors. > If you feel the need, stop and use aggregation instead. Also keep private inheritance in mind, which may be more (syntactically) convenient than aggregation in some cases. ------------- Ehsan Akhgari Farda Technology (http://www.farda-tech.com/) List Owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] [ WWW: http://www.beginthread.com/Ehsan ] And if great things have been a failure with you, have you yourselves therefore- been a failure?
