Yup - it's been a long time since I measured it, and I dare say modern C++ implementations are more efficient, but back then, virtual methods were measureably slow - all the indirection and so forth... That said, I think this sounds like a good idea, if we can show that it works and is not too slow... Does anyone have a feel for just how often the type stuff actually gets called? If it is not so often, then the impact of using the virtual methods would be similarly small... Still, +1 in principle... _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list fltk-dev@easysw.com http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
