Thread: Decorator

Hi,

To clean up a class which contains too many fonctions and attributes, I want to implement decorators for that class.
However, the class contains many virtual functions.

If I understood well, I should re-implement all these virtual functions as (suppose I do not derive further from my decorator) :

Code:

class to_be_decorated {
 public:
  virtual bool foo();
};

class decorator : public to_be_decorated {
 public:
  decorator(class to_be_decorated&);
  bool foo() { return obj.foo(); }
 private:
  to_be_decorated& obj;
};

Am I right ?

This will cause my simple decorators to become quite cumbersome as well... any other solutions or ideas?

Thanks!!

Mark
