Even if most projects don't need more than depth 16, there might be some very large projects (like Bruce's) that need it. Even well-designed projects can have a large class tree.
And it is relatively easy to make that algorithm max depth-independent. First see at what depth the current class is at, then declare a variable-size array (directly on the stack, not with malloc) with the depth as size, then fill it with all parents. /Emil 2012/6/18 Benoît Minisini <gam...@users.sourceforge.net> > Le 18/06/2012 13:24, Emil Lenngren a écrit : > > What is the real reason for limiting inheritance to max 16 levels?
