If takes advantage of the following behavior related to // function resolution. Say, both, foo and base, declare a method with the same name "func": // // struct foo { int func (int, int) { return 0; } }; // struct base { void func () {} }; // struct mixin : public foo, public base {}; // // Now, if we inherit from both -- foo and base -- classes, then the following calls will fail // mixin_ptr(0)->func(); // mixin_ptr(0)->func(5, 5); // with the error message (gcc): request for member func is ambiguous // regardless if we provide any arguments or not even though one might expect that // arg-based signature resolution might kick in. The only way to deploy those methods is: // // mixin_ptr(0)->foo::func(); // mixin_ptr(0)->base::func(5, 5); // // C2. The actual signature of __member_name__ is not taken into account. If // __T__::__member_name__(any-signature) exists, then the introduced base::__member_name__ // will cause mixin->__member_name__() call to fail to compile (due to ambiguity). // C3. &U::__member_name__ (a.k.a. &mixin::__member_name__) // has the type of func_type only if __T__::__member_name__ does not exist. // If __T__::member_name does exist, then mixin::__member_name__ is ambiguous // and "yes_type test (...)" kicks in instead. // C4.
