Outputs overloads constructor to implement some sort of covariance. However, that doesn't qualify as a good argument because the right solution would be to add a helper function that could perform these conversions.</p>
<p>In many cases, inheriting from a vector type is a no-no. You should do that only if there's no any other way around.</p>

<p>I personally don't consider it to be a problem. That's C++ after all.</p>
<p>Templates are invariant and making conversions between Collection<Base> and Collection<Derived> explicit is a good thing because this way we have less magic in the code.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R108 KWin</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D23918">https://phabricator.kde.org/D23918</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>zzag, KWin<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>romangg, davidedmundson, alexeymin, kwin, LeGast00n, The-Feren-OS-Dev, sbergeron, jraleigh, fbampaloukas, GB_2, mkulinski, ragreen, jackyalcine, Pitel, iodelay, crozbo, bwowk, ZrenBot, ngraham, himcesjf, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, hardening, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol, mart<br /></div>
