How to prevent class from inheritance in c++?

Question

Can anyone tell me how to restrict inheritance in c++ with example? is their any possibility of doing it by using private mode of inheritance?

make class final.yes you can simulate that – Ankur Jan 19 '15 at 13:15 — Ankur, Jan 19 '15 at 13:15

You can declare a class to be final and therefore no other classes can derive from it. You can also specify that individual functions are final.

only for c++11 i guess not for older versions – Ankur Jan 19 '15 at 13:17
I think OP wants to know if it can be done without using the `final` keyword (since it is part of C++11) – CinCout Jan 19 '15 at 13:18
@binaryBaBa What makes you think that they aren't using C++11? I don't see any mention of that in their question. – Cory Kramer Jan 19 '15 at 13:20
Exactly my point! C++11 is not mentioned. The tag simply says C++ – CinCout Jan 19 '15 at 13:21

@binaryBaBa It is the year 2015, I hope it is safe to assume that most people are using C++11 compilers, especially considering that C++14 has been finalized. – Cory Kramer Jan 19 '15 at 13:22
In programming, assumptions lead to doom! I so wish all the corporate projects start using C++11. – CinCout Jan 19 '15 at 13:23

Questions specifically about older versions of the language should be tagged c++98, not c++. – Ferruccio Jan 19 '15 at 13:27
