CPP1116 — Why not map bitset inheritance to struct inheritance

Open Closed All
  • Key: CPP1116-9
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Remedy IT ( Johnny Willemsen)
  • Summary:

    Why is bitset inheritance not mapped to struct inheritance, that would simplify the code for BitSet2 in this example.

  • Disposition Summary:

    No change needed

    Using struct inheritance would mean that the last member of the base couldn't share the same byte with the first member of the derived. Essentially this is a difference between what C++ inheritance of structs means when structs have bitfields and the semantics defined by IDL.
