All that is needed in order to implement this is a common base type. The delegator holds a pointer to an "untyped" object from the base class. Querying if the target implements the delegate interface is done using run-time type identification.

The code does not fully implement all requirements from above.
If you find which requirements have not been met that's great.
What is your proposal to solve that in the code?

Delegates in the C# or D style are available in C++ through std::tr1::function class template. These delegates don't exactly match this problem statement though, as they only support a single method call (which is operator()), and so don't support querying for support of particular methods.

Line 516 ⟶ 560:
In CLOS, methods exist apart from classes, and are specialized based on the types of their arguments. This example defines two classes (delegator and delegate), and a thing generic method which is specialized in three ways: (1) for 'any' argument, providing a default method; (2) for delegators, where thing is recursively applied to the delegator's delegate (if there is one); and (3) for delegates.

=={{header|Java}}==
This implementation uses an interface called Thingable to specify the type of delegates that respond to thing(). The downside is that any delegate you want to use has to explicitly declare to implement the interface. The upside is that the type system guarantees that when the delegate is non-null, it must implement the "thing" method.

Phix is not object orientated, instead I would just use a routine_id for this sort of thing.<br>
<lang perl6>class Non-Delegate { }
I will admit that the whole concept of "no delegate/with one that does not implement" makes no sense whatsoever to me.<br>
While I've shown this using a single rid, you could of course hold an entire sequence of them or even better a dictionary and use named lookups for rids in that.
<syntaxhighlight lang="phix">enum OTHER, OPERATION

Obviously, you can explictly test for rid=NULL as shown, or remove that test and catch exceptions, ie:
