Inheriting from class with no public constructor

There is a class (over which I have no control) that has no public
constructors - new instances are created via a Static function.

I would like to modify the behavior of one of the methods of this
class, but I can't inherit from it because it has no public
constructors.

Is there any other way to modify the behavior of one of the class's
methods?

Hi, My objective is to add enable & disable functionality to the ofstream class. I want to have a log file where I can disable and enable output to it.

How do you make a member of a class mandatory to override with a _new_ definition? For example, when inheriting from System.Collections.CollectionBase, you are required to implement certain methods, such as public void Add(MyClass c). How can I enforce the same behavior (of requiring to implement a member with a new return type in an inherited class) in the master class (similar to the CollectionBase)? I have a class called...

I have tried for two days to solve this problem with no luck. I have a singleton class which has some events declared. When I inherit from this class the events don't seem to come along with it. The event in the singleton class always evaluates to null even when I cleary subscribe to it. Does anyone have some sample code of how to do this, or is this not possible.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
