I would like to have a base class that does some work and can be
instantiated.
class a
{
public:
virtual int foo() { return 0; };
virtual int bar() { return 0; };
};
I would like to have a derived class that does some slightly different
work and can be instantiated.
class b : public a
{
public:
virtual int foo() { return 1; };
};
I would like to have another derived class that does some slightly
different work in a different area and can be instantiated.
class c : public a
{
public:
virtual int bar() { return 2; };
};
I would like to have another derived class that takes some
functionality from b and some from c:
class d : public b, public c
{
};
I would like the output of the following code
int main()
{
a theA;
printf("%i\n", theA.foo());
printf("%i\n", theA.bar());
b theB;
printf("%i\n", theB.foo());
printf("%i\n", theB.bar());
c theC;
printf("%i\n", theC.foo());
printf("%i\n", theC.bar());
d theD;
printf("%i\n", theD.foo());
printf("%i\n", theD.bar());
return 0;
}
to be:
0
0
1
0
0
2
1
2
Obviously, it isn't since theD doesn't know if it should use
foo()/bar() from the a->b->d inheritance tree or the a->c->d
inheritance tree.
What is the proper way to meet these requirements?
Thanks,

I don't think that will solve his problem, because virtual inheritance relates
to state, and he is trying to define behavior, correct?

Probably. I didn't spend enough time to understand the OP's problem.
Perhaps it can be solved with casting the 'theD' object to 'b' or 'c'
or 'a', explicitly.

Maybe you can try using the "using" directive to specify which foo and
bar you want class d to use.

This is virtual inheritance. How exactly does this solve the OP's problem?
Virtual inheritance exists to avoid making 2 copies of the base class. This
doesn't have anything to do with the fact that his D object doesn't know which
function to invoke.

What about
class d : public b, public c
{
public:
using b::foo;
using c::bar;
};
?

One question is: how should D behave when used in the context of a B (that
is, polymorphically )? That's one thing unclear from the OP. I don't think
the "using" strategy will affect polymorphic behavior. So the correct
approach is determined by the unstated needs... :)
