A quick question about returning this from virtual functions. A virtual function was defined to return a pointer to the base class. Instead I return this. I have gotten it to compile with no errors in g++, but it gives me a warning in cfront. Could some net.guru++ tell me if this is an acceptable thing to do? If not, how would I return a pointer to the derived class in a virtual function, without casting to a void pointer? Many thanks in advance.
