Yes, I realize that.

Well, there is a degree of efficiency that can be had with C++ classes that simply cannot be had with Objective-C classes. It is a degree of efficiency that is not often required, but just as you can't "rewrite Cocoa in C++" as we've seen demanded by people who don't really understand Objective-C, there's levels of efficiency that in C++ can be combined with high-level abstractions, but in Objective-C would require raw C. -- Scott Ribe scott_r...@killerbytes.com http://www.killerbytes.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
