[Ndless/C++] Problems with inheritance
« on: November 16, 2013, 06:09:32 pm »
I am trying to make a C++ class for Nspire I/O that works like the standard iostream class.
For this purpose, I have the class console, which is just a simple C++ wrapper for Nspire I/O, and the class nio_base, that provides stuff from the standard ios_base class.
The class iostream inherits from both console and nio_base, so we can use the <<, >> operators and more for Nspire I/O consoles.

My problem is, when I am trying to set the field width with the function width() from nio_base to 10, it stays 0 when I read it from inside the iostream class.
Also, using setf() crashes the emulator.

This is the code I'm trying to run.
Basically everything works, except the field width change and the unsetf/setf stuff.

The code works fine on the other branch where the nio_base stuff is integrated into iostream, but I wanted to separate it so I don't have to duplicate the code for RS232 communcication.

Download the code
To build, make lib install in the root dir
make lib install demo in niostream
Make sure there are no old versions of Nspire I/O in your Ndless SDK.

I'm not a C++ master, but multiple inheritance has been a problem since beginning of POO, hasn't it ?

I know Java makes it different with interfaces, but what I learnt in C++ always made me feel this was impossible to achieve cleverly.

I do not get mad at people, I just want them to learn the way I learnt.

compu, were you able to fix that one?

Isn't this fixable with virtual inheritance? (I don't C++ much, so I'm not sure.)

I would check myself, but github gives me "500 internal server error"...
- bFLT? (Needed)
- Compile flags? (At least -fpic -mlong-calls)
- If you run elf2flt manually, what's the output?
