So I gather from the following message that
interfaces on a class are not inherited?

err.d(28): cannot implicitly convert Fred to Foo

interface Foo
{
  void doTheThing();
}

class Bar : Foo
{
  void doTheThing()
  {
    printf("one\n");
  }
}

class Fred : Bar
{
  void doTheThing()
  {
    printf("two\n");
  }
}

int main(char[][] args)
{
  Fred f = new Fred();

  Foo fi = f;

  fi.doTheThing();

  return 0;
}

Interfaces are broken in a couple ways--this being one side effect.  See my earlier bug reports about this in the newsgroup.  I don't know when Walter plans a fix.

Yes, the following prints "One" which isn't right
any way you look at it.

interface Foo
{
  void doTheThing();
}


class Alpha : Foo
{
  void doTheThing()
  {
    printf("One\n");
  }
}


class Beta : Alpha, Foo
{
  void doTheThing()
  {
    printf("Two\n");
  }
}


void func(Foo theFoo)
{
  theFoo.doTheThing();
}


int main(char[][] argv)
{
  Beta b = new Beta();

  func(b);

  return 0;
}

Disregaurd my post this seems to work.  There does
seem to be something odd about the way interfaces
are working but I haven't pinned it down yet.

Again, save yourself some time--read my thread on this in the group from a couple weeks ago.

I haven't forgotten about it. I intend to focus on it after implementing raii. It's not a trivial problem and I want to clear the table of distractions <g>.
