Hi,

Can anyone tell me if there is a good way of simulating OOP-style inheritance, or other OOP features, in C?

Thanks,

hey,

It's straightforward to implement simple "methods" by placing function pointers in structures. You can make various clumsy, brute-force attempts at inheritance using the preprocessor or by having structures contain "base types" as initial subsets, but it won't be perfect. There's obviously no operator overloading, and overriding (i.e. of "methods" in "derived classes") would have to be done by hand. Obviously, if you need "real" OOP, you'll want to use a language that supports it, such as C++
