------- Comment #9 from jens dot maurer at gmx dot net 2006-11-04 15:44 ------- I would like to point out that C++ std ore issue 257 "Abstract base constructors and virtual base initialization" (see http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_active.html#257) deals with this very issue. I have submitted a proposed resolution that (hopefully) unambiguously describes what James Kanze advocates.
