Here's the scenario: I want define a base class that allocate some buffer once for all derived classes, while the size of the buffer varies among different derived classes. I could achieve it in this way:
class base { public: base():size(), p_array(0){} private: size_t size; boost::shared_array<unsigned char> p_array;
};
in the derived class:
class derived { public: derived(size_t array_size):size(array_size) { p_array.reset(new unsigned char[size]); } };
There are still many mistakes: - derived does not inherit from base - size is not a member of derived and thus cannot be initialized in its constructor Matthieu -- Information System Engineer, Ph.D. Website: http://matthieu-brucher.developpez.com/ Blogs: http://matt.eifelle.com and http://blog.developpez.com/?blog=92 LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/matthieubrucher
