I'm new to C++ but have some programming experience in high-level languages (Java, etc.). The main problem I'm currently facing is to understand inheritance and interfaces in C++.
testsurface.h
#include <QSurface>
class TestSurface : public virtual QSurface
{
public:
TestSurface(SurfaceClass clazz) : QSurface(clazz) { }
~TestSurface() { }
virtual QSurfaceFormat format() = 0;
virtual QSize size() = 0;
virtual QPlatformSurface* surfaceHandle() = 0;
virtual SurfaceType surfaceType() = 0;
};
testwindow.h
#include <QWindow>
#include "testsurface.h"
class TestWindow : public QWindow, public TestSurface
{
public:
TestWindow() : QWindow(), TestSurface(QWindow::Window) { }
~TestWindow() { }
};
In my understanding, TestSurface passes all abstract methods from QSurface along. Because of TestWindow is inheriting QWindow which is inheriting QSurface I would expect that all needed methods of TestSurface::QSurface are implemented through TestWindow::QWindow but this isn't the case because I get following error messages upon building:
C2512: C:\...\Qt\Projects\Test2\testwindow.h:10: Erroe: C2512: 'QSurface::QSurface': no appropriate default constructor available
and
C:\...\Qt\Projects\Test2\main.cpp:12: Error: C2259: 'TestWindow': Instance of abstract class can't be created because of following members:
"QSurfaceFormat TestSurface::format(void)": is abstract

That won't work, QWindow is not using virtual inheritance when inheriting QSurface.
class Q_GUI_EXPORT QWindow : public QObject, public QSurface {...};
If you want multiple interfaces to "join a base interface", they all must use virtual inheritance.
