## # \file # To each interface a set of caller functions exist, that take an instance # of an object and then in turn call the implementation for the class of # this object. If there is none within the class it looks into its # parent class and so forth. # # This is somewhat similar to late binding in real OOP languages, but # by far not so elaborated. This is not a real object oriented language # and will surely never ever provide all features these have. # # That said it has proven very usefull for me to orgnize code and prevent # code duplication. # # \author Georg Hopp # # \copyright # Copyright © 2014 Georg Hopp # # This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by # the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or # (at your option) any later version. # # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, # but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
