Re: C++ class inheritance

["IVAN DE JESUS DERAS TABORA" <i.deras@unitec.edu>]

Templates are like a C macros, but templates provide a more elegant form
to do things that normally you could do with C macros, in some way.
For example:

template <class T>
struct MyStruct
{ int x, y;
  T* ptr; 
}

Now you could define vars in C++:
MyStruct<int> myVar1OfTypeMyStruct;
MyStruct<float> myVar2OfTypeMyStruct;

You could do almot the same in C:
#define MyStructType(T)  typedef struct { \
                             int x, y; \
                             T* ptr;    \         
                         } MyStruct_##T \

MyStruct(int);
MyStruct(float);

Now you could define vars in C like this:
MyStruct_int myVar1OfTypeMyStruct;
MyStruct_float myVar1OfTypeMyStruct;

A i said before is more elegant the C++ form!!!!!!!!!!!
