Diamond inheritance is when a class Derived inherits twice or more from a
class Base, and you want only one Base sub-object in each Derived object.
Virtual functions have nothing to do with that, and scope resolution
operators have nothing to do with that.
The C++ language support for this problem is virtual inheritance.

No. They won't help.

No. That won't help either.

There is only one way: Look up 'virtual inheritance'.

When inheriting from more than one base, make sure that the bases are
pure abstract. I.e., only do multiple _interface_ inheritance.

I will disagree with those who said diamond inheritence cannot be
solved using scope resolution operators.
Only thing is u need be careful and code become clumpsy.
Also this can be solved using class ptrs, But here it will restrict the
dereferencing of members
only via base ptrs.
Obviously the best way is virtual inheritence.

And yet, you replied to me, the only person who did not comment on them?

Well that would be reason enough to avoid it.
If by "scope resolution operators" you mean to describe the grandparent
base required by accessing it via a particular parent, you have not
solved the problem of multiple bases, merely specified which base you
are referring to.

I'm not following, care to post code?

In almost all cases you can avoid the diamond design problem completely
with careful planning. You really want to do your utmost to avoid it,
rather than working around it. Ideally, the bases you inherit from
should be orthogonal.
If you describe the problem you are trying to solve, we will be able to
help.

That depends on what you think the "diamond inheritance problem" is. If
you derive from the same base type multiple times because you want
multiple copies of that base type in the derived type then the usual
pattern of inheritance will work just fine. If that's not want you want
then you have to plan ahead, using virtual inheritance to insure that
only one copy of the base object exists, using scope resolution
operators to access only one of the copies of the base object, or using
a stateless base type so that it doesn't matter which copy you get.
