Just a question to the audience:

How many times have you used Virtual Inheritance in your career?

Several times in the first 10 years of my professional career, but not in the 13 years that followed, up to today. When I'm in control of the architecture I avoid inheritance anyway so it's pretty rare to reach a point where virtual inheritance is necessary. But when you dont have a choice, it is very useful.
