Can I use multiple inheritance with templates?

Can I use multiple inheritance with templates in C++?

Yes, you can use multiple inheritance with templates in C++. It allows a class to inherit from multiple base classes.

Are there any specific rules or limitations I should be aware of?

Yes, you need to be cautious about the diamond problem, which can lead to ambiguity in method resolution.

Can you give me an example of how to implement this?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

template <typename T>
class Base1 {
public:
    void display() { std::cout << "Base1" << std::endl; }
};

template <typename T>
class Base2 {
public:
    void display() { std::cout << "Base2" << std::endl; }
};

template <typename T>
class Derived : public Base1<T>, public Base2<T> {
};

int main() {
    Derived<int> obj;
    obj.Base1<int>::display(); // Calls Base1's display
    obj.Base2<int>::display(); // Calls Base2's display
}

This demonstrates multiple inheritance with templates.

What are the advantages of using multiple inheritance?

Multiple inheritance can promote code reuse and allow for more flexible designs by combining functionalities from different classes.
