I agree... > It's not rewriting C++ either, as long as it makes sense in Cython as a > language. > But them someone will ask for polimorphism, and then the struct instances could have a pointer to a struct-specific vtable, and then you are more or less rewriting C++. And that would not bother me, currently cdef methods do work as a sort C++, right?. -- Lisandro Dalcín --------------- Centro Internacional de Métodos Computacionales en Ingeniería (CIMEC) Instituto de Desarrollo Tecnológico para la Industria Química (INTEC) Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET) PTLC - Güemes 3450, (3000) Santa Fe, Argentina Tel/Fax: +54-(0)342-451.1594 _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
