Where are baseX and BaseY defined? They are also included while building mem.so.But I got the mistake. I didnt define the virtual methods declared in X and Y out of pure ignorance :-) Doesnt it sound right if we have some error or warning thrown for such cases where definitions are not found while building a shared library? Since it didnt throw anything during build, I thought my lib is as good as any that of experts'!
