echinopsis posted:i have used c when i programmed arduino poo poo and it was fine but also having object orientated poo poo i can't even imagine using c to do some things you can make C that's kind of object-oriented if you want, structs full of function pointers everywhere. you can even inherit by casting a struct full of function pointers to another struct full of function pointers don't ever do this. cumulatively it probably wasted a month of developer time

The Management posted:you don't cast, you include the parent struct in the child. if you want to use the "super" you explicitly take a pointer to that member. this is easy to do and I'm not sure why it would waste more time than any other code. the time wasting came from that design pattern breaking the IDE's autocomplete, ability to look up function definitions, and often even the syntax checker. it was adept at wasting many 30 second to 2 minute increments, especially considering those functions were often called by macros that were 3-4 layers deep, generally defined in different files of course Also the way you describe inheritance sounds much more sane than how it was done by our ~~*software architect*~~
