There's not really a good reason to allow it. As much as it first looks like mixing A[] and B[] when B : A should work, it's a _really_ bad idea. Just because a container holds a type which is the base type of another type does not mean that a container which holds the derived type should be assignable/castable/convertable to one which holds the base type. Really, the only question is whether you can get away with it with some form of const, and I believe that the consensus on it in the newsgroup last time that this was discussed was that you couldn't. I'd have to go digging through the archives though to find the exact thread. This can and should be disallowed at compile time. It's a definite bug. It just hasn't been fixed yet. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
