Constructors and destructors are the least of the problems ... C++ tries to impliment multiple inherritence but that is tragically flawed. What ever you do never, ever, inherit 2 objects that have function name within

ie

myclass1::calc

myclass2::calc

myclass3 in herits myclass1 and myclass2

call calc and it is going to fall in a big heap.

The tragety of it all is it Eiffel was launched before C++ we would all be programming in that and we wouldn't have the problem, it has an outstanding implimentation of multiple inheritance.

Essentially it is a hack that has gone out of control.
