Hi, I think that there is consensus regarding the usefulness of overlapping instances. But it is a pitty that the -fallow-overlapping-instances declaration is so pervasive. I mean: - If I deal with several classes, only few of them require overlapping instances, then I would like to restrict -fallow to the relevant classes. - If I compile a module A with overlapping instances allowed, and I import A into B, then I don't want to be forced to allow overlapping instances in B unless B by itself wants to produce overlaps. Did I miss anything? If not, would that be difficult (formally, technically)? Ralf -- Ralf Laemmel VU & CWI, Amsterdam, The Netherlands http://www.cs.vu.nl/~ralf/ http://www.cwi.nl/~ralf/
