However, it's almost impossible to use multiple-inheritance without super(). This includes common idioms like mixins, interfaces, abstract classes, etc.
In fact, multiple inheritance is the only case where super() is of any use. I would not recommend using it with classes using linear inheritance, where it's just useless overhead.
My style of coding includes the following idiom: class Derived : public Base { public : typedef Base super; // note that it could be hidden in // protected/private
