There are some tricky bits to doing contract inheritance, I hope gdc
and ldc don't have trouble with it.
What tricky bits are those?
It's outlined in the code comments, but it's implemented by making the
contract code a nested function. The overriding function calls those
nested functions of the overridden function(s). In order for this to
work successfully, the 'this' pointer and the stack parameters must wind
up in the same relative position on the stack.
I'm still none the wiser about why it absolutely has to be done like
this instead of the simpler solution I proposed years ago. But in any
case, thank you for finally getting round to it!
