hallo Everyone,
following example produces a Compile time error in DJGPP:
The Compiler complains about the definit. of the pure virtual function
fn1 in class C0 as following:

ERROR: Cannot allocate an Object of type 'C0'
ERROR: since the following virtual functions are abstract:
ERROR: void C0::fn1()

//-----------------------
class C0
{
   public:
        virtual void fn1(void) = 0;
};

class C1
{
    public:
      virtual void fn1(){return 1}
}

main()
{
   C0 *c0 = new C1;
   c0->fn1();
}

Why does DJGPP dont like my Class to have a abstract virtual function ?
Thanks for any help
