hi all,
i am currently wondering:
in sw, a bunch of classes define serial numbers, e.g. SwIndex, SwNode, etc.
in a DBG_UTIL build, there is a global counter, and the ctor increments
the counter and assigns its value to a member, so every instance has a
unique serial.
what is the point of this? how would this help in debugging, given that
the pointer values of the instances ought to be unique as long as they
live?
That is not the case with multiple inheritance, e.g. SwCntntNode does not
have SwNode as its first base class (and trying to change that goes horribly
wrong). But I myself wouldn't consider that a good reason for keeping the
serials.
