<H2>Implementing C++ callbacks in Go</H2>
<p>
-This example illustrates how to use directors to implement C++
-callbacks in Go.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Because Go and C++ use inheritance differently, you must call a
-different function to create a class which uses callbacks. Instead of
-calling the usual constructor function whose name is <tt>New</tt>
-followed by the capitalized name of the class, you call a function
-named <tt>NewDirector</tt> followed by the capitalized name of the
-class.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-The first argument to the <tt>NewDirector</tt> function is an instance
-of a type. The <tt>NewDirector</tt> function will return an interface
-value as usual. However, when calling any method on the returned
-value, the program will first check whether the value passed
-to <tt>NewDirector</tt> implements that method. If it does, the
-method will be called in Go. This is true whether the method is
-called from Go code or C++ code.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Note that the Go code will be called with just the Go value, not the
-C++ value. If the Go code needs to call a C++ method on itself, you
-need to get a copy of the C++ object. This is typically done as
-follows:
-
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-type Child struct { abi Parent }
-func (p *Child) ChildMethod() {
- p.abi.ParentMethod()
-}
-func f() {
- p := &Child{nil}
- d := NewDirectorParent(p)
- p.abi = d
- ...
-}
-</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-In other words, we first create the Go value. We pass that to
-the <tt>NewDirector</tt> function to create the C++ value; this C++
-value will be created with an association to the Go value. We then
-store the C++ value in the Go value, giving us the reverse
-association. That permits us to call parent methods from the child.
-
-</p>
-
-<p>
-To delete a director object, use the function <tt>DeleteDirector</tt>
-followed by the capitalized name of the class.

+Classes</a> documentation subsection for an in-depth explanation how to use the
+director feature.
