Oh no. My mentor JonCruz told me that adding virtual functions in c++ way might break things as c has fixed addresses and all, and so making virtual functions(dynamic allocation) might infict a blow on the those current functionalities.

I don't understand what you mean. I think that C++ virtual functions work exactly like the way they are done C-style in Inkscape; the great advantage of C++ virtual functions is less typing less errors imho. But, then again, it is very rare that I am right and Jon is wrong, so... Jon, enlighten me! ;)

Thanks, Johan
