I'm confused as i'm dealing with a case where A, B and C are provided
by different vendors. B knows that it has to inherit from A but is not
aware about anything else, so is the case with C.
B and C must inherit virtually from A. If they don't and you can't
modify them, then unfortunately there's no way to do it. (This is
because existing compiled code for B and C assume non-virtual
inheritance. This compiled code would be different if the inheritance
was virtual. Thus changing it to virtual would require recompiling that
code.)
