api independent...
hi folks,
i finally get an api independent texture class to work (multiple inheritance), my brain was some kind of dizzy during the implementation, well now i try to get it to run with the handlemanager from "Games Gems I" and now the problem,
the handlemanager tries to create a template object through the std. constr., well not a problem but if i pass as template parameter the texture interface class the compiler hangs, (well not surprising) but how can i get it to run without implementing one handlemanager for each texture (2D, 3D, 1D...),
because it works without a problem when i pass as template not the interface class but the specialized class,
thanks in advance for your time (for reading this as well as participate),
greets

I don't know this particular handlemanager class, but if it is/has a collection of your objects, then the simple answer is you need to store pointers to the interface class, not the interface class itself.
Example:
Without seeing handlemanager, I'm guessing it's a similar situation as the vector in my example.
Example:
class A { int a;public: virtual int value() const { return a; }};class B : public A { int b;public: virtual int value() const { return b; }};std::vector<A> as; // bad!std::vector<B> bs; // okstd::vector<A*> pas; // also okpas.push_back(new B);
