Re: [chirp_devel] [PATCH 1 of 3] [id31] Backport ID-51 mode logic to ID-31. Related to #553

In other words, because the code is interpreted at run time, and the association occurs at execution time? This would not work in Java or C++.

process_mmap() is where MEM_FORMAT is used to interpret the radio image. Since that is overridden in the subclass but uses the same symbol names, the object that each driver builds will have the same interface, but point to different regions in the actual data. The behavior of the overridden method in the subclass is the same in Java or C++, of course.
