Re: Accessing in a child class the attribute of a parent class

[Luciano de Souza <luchyanus@...>]

I really get angry with myself when the problem is the lack of 
attention. Sometimes, reading rapidly with the screen reader, some 
information were ignored by brain, especially because the hurry. Your 
are right. the problem is the bad usage of classlib.

The correct code is:


require('classlib')

class.parent()
function parent:__init()
self.a = 15
end

class.child(shared(parent))
function child:__init()
parent:__init()
self.b = 22
end

function child:display()
print(parent.a)
print(self.b)
end

x = child()
x:display()

    I noticed the mistake and changed the code as you mentioned above.
Then I renamed the __init methods to __user_init, but in both versions
the problem still occurs.  I can't understand why, but classlib is
calling child:__init (or __user_init) before calling parent:__init (or
__user_init).  Worst, it is calling the functions with different values
of self, thus the attributes are initialized in different objects :-(
    I think you have to study classlib to understand how it should
be used.
