Private inheritance VS composition. I'm having a little confusion when to use each. Since private inheritance seals, in a way, the chain on inheritance, given: class A { private: int z; protected: int y; public: int x; }; class B : private A { /* B's data members and methods */ /* B has access only to A's public and protected */ }; class C : public B { /* can access no fields of B */ }; C won't be able to use any of B 's fields. When would I use private inheritance, and when would I use composition? thanks!
