All generated proxy classes inherit directory or indirectly from the Ice::ObjectPrx proxy class, reflecting the fact that all Ice interfaces implicitly inherit from Ice::Object.

Interface Inheritance

Inheritance relationships among Slice interfaces are maintained in the generated C++ classes. For example:

module M
{
    interface A { ... }
    interface B { ... }
    interface C extends A, B { ... }
}

The generated code for CPrx reflects the inheritance hierarchy:

namespace M
{
    class CPrx : public virtual APrx, public virtual BPrx
    {
        ...
    };
}

Given a proxy for C, a client can invoke any operation defined for interface C, as well as any operation inherited from C's base interfaces.

Receiving Proxies

Client-side application code never manipulates proxy class instances directly. In fact, you are not allowed to instantiate a proxy class directly. The following code will not compile because the base proxy class for Object has no public constructor:
