Greetings, Meanwhile I have figured out how do do it only to find out that I have more serious problems. Generally calling Base::f on the base class object is not what you want, instead you want to call Base::f on the full object for the following reasons:
If the base class is virtual, then Base::f might use virtual functions (not defined in Base but defined in derived classes). If you then call Base::f on an object of class "Base" the call will fail. Is it possible in R to call Base::f from within Derived (when there is also Derived::f) on the full object this? I suspect not, which would be a serious drawback to the R class mechanism.
