Trying to compile code that uses a co-variant return type gives the
following message:
sorry, not implemented: adjusting pointers
for covariant returns
and exits.
(Although you may be aware of this, I could find a problem report about
it anywhere in GNATS)
>How-To-Repeat:
Comple some code with a covariant return type.
[e.g. see C++ FAQ 20.5
class Shape {
public:
virtual ~Shape() { } // A virtual destructor[20.4]
virtual void draw() = 0; // A pure virtual function[22.4]
virtual void move() = 0;
// ...
virtual Shape* clone() const = 0; // Uses the copy constructor
virtual Shape* create() const = 0; // Uses the default constructor[10.4]
};
class Circle : public Shape {
public:
Circle* clone() const { return new Circle(*this); }
Circle* create() const { return new Circle(); }
// ...
}
]
