Can element types be the base class?

[PengYu.UT]

Hi,

I'm wondering if there is any way to use element types as base
classes. Or it is not possible at all?

struct A : public int {
};

Thanks,
Peng

It's not possible.

You could provide a wrapper template

template < typename T >
class make_base {
...
};

and then do:

struct A : public make_base<int> {
};

But whatever you are trying to accomplish, this probably won't help.


On a related note: what are you trying to accomplish, anyway?
