I also found myself needing to override `virtual` C++ methods, but eventually I
gave up on the library (the MEGA API).
Thanks for clarifying. Up to now I have had to manually patch C++ vTables to be
able to override some C++ class method with a nim-generated proc. What I keep
wondering is if nim is going to add some kind of support for that ... i.e.
implementing or overriding virtual C++ class methods. In my cas
That was something that was in the manual as coming soon for about eight months
before being removed:

This should still be happening
@mratsim Since I have already written my own custom vTable mechanism with nim
macros and some emitted C++ code (in order to interop i.e. inherit with C++
base classes) ... I'm wondering what you meant by saying:

Thanks everyone for the insight and the suggestions! Guess I'll design with
this constraint in mind then. Just one little thing, I'm not sure how I can get
"any" to work as recommended since I've tried it and it refused to work. Can
someone share some code please?
@cdome Plus it's not that handy when using with objects, as far as I know?
> type Any is the closest to what you want. It is also unsafe to use.
It seems like you want dynamic typing in a statically typed language.
The proper way for heterogeneous collection of objects currently is:
* with ref objects inheriting from the same base class.
* with object variants
In the future you will also be able to use concepts and VTables.
* ref \--- there is no such a thing. Reference always points at an entity of
a specific type.
* auto \--- it's not a type per se, it can just appear in several contexts a
type may appear.
* object \--- it's a kind of a type (as in: "this is an object type"), not
type per se
* any \--- we
How do I instantiate a hashtable in Nim that maps strings to objects of any
type? None of these seem to work:
import tables
var t = newTable[string, any]()
var t = newTable[string, ref]()
var t = newTable[string, auto]()
var t = newTable[string, object]()
