title: Virtual inheritance in C++ usages/tricks
body: <p>I've never used it in the professional software even though in our shop, and others I have worked for, we design large scale systems. The only time I messed with virtual inheritance was during my interview in a company. Nonetheless, I played with it during afterhours.  </p>
  
  <p>Do you guys use it? Do you understand how it works in depth (how most popular compiler vendors implement it)?  I would really like to know how it is used in professional software, if at all.  Tricks and tips would be appreciated, too.</p>
  
  <p>To me, virtual inheritance was just a solution to an infamous diamond problem.  Hence, it never found its way in our software, as we don't have in our architecture MI resulting in the diamond. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
