c++ Multiple parents with same variable name

Question

class A{
    protected:
    int var;
};

class B{
    protected:
    int var;
};

class C : public A, public B {};

What happens here? Do the variab

Answer 1

If you only refer to var inside of C, the compiler does not know whether you mean A::var or B::var and the compiler will tell you that var is ambiguous. Therefore, you have to fully qualify the name when using var.

No merging happens, any instance of C will contain both variables.
