makes things simpler for the C code generator, which creates one C module
for all the methods in Interpreter and its superclasses. I think this was
probably a case of doing the simplest thing that could possibly work.
Thanks Dave. I am trying to understand, that's all. So...suppose I want to have an instance of ObjectMemory as an instance variable of Interpreter and delegate to it instead of inherit, this won't work with SLANG? I image that inter.c has both Interpreter and ObjectMemory because of the inheritance. Then, if I do what I said, SLANG, or the translator, or the someone I don't who, cannot correctly put everything together in a inter.c in the same way it is done right now ?
Thanks!
