I am making modifications to the gnu g++
compiler to include automatic conflict resolution of multiple inheritance
using a linearization algorithm.  I have the algorithm implemented but I
need to interface it with the compiler.  I am hoping that someone could 
explain a few things to me.
 
(1) I need to construct a table of direct parents of a class.  Whereas this
could easily be done at parse time, it is presenting me with problems and I
was wondering if you could direct me to how this information could be
extracted from the parse tree.
 
(2) I am adding the algorithm within the function lookup_fnfields
(cp/search.c) where
        errstr = "request for method %D' is ambiguous"; 
 
    Once I locate the method in a class, what is the format of the return
value I give to the calling function.  I need a way of telling the calling
function the particular method within a specific class to use.
 
 
If anyone could answer these questions I would really appreciate it.  Thanks
for your time.
