Notes about C++ Abstraction Mechanisms, Part 2 Inheritance in C++ Inheritance: Constructors and destructors Inheritance: Copying and slicing Member access control: private, public and protected Virtual Functions Destructors and Inheritance - Virtual Destructors Hiding inherited names Abstract Classes What about interfaces in C++? What about nested classes in C++? What about prevention of derivation in C++ Pointer to members Multiple inheritance - issues and C++ solutions Multiple inheritance - issues and C++ solutions Multiple inheritance: Ambiguities Replicated base class Is repeated inheritance possible? Is repeated inheritance possible? No! Shared base class: Virtual base Base class access Base class access Base class access - the C++ rules Base class access - Examples Discussion: No single most general class in C++

The class B is a specialization of class A

Virtual versus non-virtual functions in an AB class hierarchy.
