The pros and cons of multiple over single inheritance have been debated
long and hard. (Though I have not seen this subject raise its head for
a few months now). Many OOPLs are now going towards multiple inheritance;
my questions :-
i. Are there any standard refs (aka Wegner, Stefik etc), that detail
any strategies that have been attempted in resolving conflict in
multiple inheritance. (ie my superclasses, either immediate or
remote, have an identically named attribute or method, how does
my run-time system choose between them).
ii. What conflict resolution strategies are used within existing OOPLs?
I'll summarise if there is sufficient interest.
Regards
Brian
