Just don't derive from it then.

no - I do not think that you can do it in C++.
"I have a class, i don't want any other class to be derived from that"
- it is a JAVA thing:

final public class A {

}

can not be "extended"/inherited from.

class FinalizeMyClass {
friend class MyClass;
FinalizeMyClass (); // Private constructor
};

class MyClass : virtual private FinalizeMyClass {
};

That way you can't instantiate any class derived from MyClass.

Regards.
