Is it possible to forbid deriving from a class at compile time?

Question

I have a value class according to the description in \"C++ Coding Standards\", Item 32. In short, that means it provides value semantics and does not have any virtual method

Answer 1

Well, i had a similar problem. This is posted here on SO. The problem was other way around; i.e. only allow those classes to be derived that you permit. Check if it solves your problem.

This is done at compile-time.
