#define DO_NOT_DERIVE(T) \
class NoDerive_##T { \
friend class T;
\
NoDerive_##T() {}
\
NoDerive_##T(const NoDerive_##T&) {} \
};
#define stopderiving(T) private virtual NoDerive_##T
when we derive from any class, the constructor needs to be
called, since here constructor of NoDerive calss is
private, it cannot be derived. And friendship cannot be
inherited.
usage
class finalclass : stopderiving (finalclass)
{
....
};
the other possible solution for this is making the default
constructor private.

Answer / bala
Final will do in Java. But not in C++.
I hope, bye creating all the constructor,copy constructor
in private will stop inherite the class.
Plz refer 'Singleton Pattern'

Answer / anant tiwari
There are three way to stop a class been derived (example in C#)
1) declare a class as static (Ex : static class Sample {....}
2) declare the class constructor as private (Ex class Sample{ private Sample(){}....}
3) declare a class as sealed class Ex : sealed class Sample {...}

What is friend function?
suppose A is a base class and B is the derved class. Both have a method foo which is defined as a virtual method in the base class. You have a pointer of classs B and you typecast it to A. Now when you call pointer->foo, which method gets called? The next part of the question is, how does the compiler know which method to call?
