A class is derived from a virtual base class.
The MISRA C++:2008 guidelines discourage use of virtual base classes because they are associated with undefined behaviors and can be confusing for human readers.
This class is a strict superset of Virtual Base Class not In Diamond and of Implicit Inheritance from Stateful Virtual Base.
