Abstract
Discusses the role of multiple inheritance in the OBJIX
microkernel design. Among the benefits of this approach, there is the
elimination of forwarding calls and a fairly clear and elegant class
structure being easy to understand and modify. As the relations among
the instances of joint classes tend to be trivial, the class inheritance
diagrams are almost sufficient to understand the system's structure and
implementation concepts. Moreover, multiple inheritance allows for
defining various different interfaces to the same kernel data structures
(joint classes)
