OK, here is the piece of code which illustrates the concept
=======================================================
class Base
{
private :
char _id;
~Base() {};
public :
Base(char id='0') : _id(id) {};
static Base* CreateBase(char id) { return new Base(id); }
static void DestroyBase(Base* ptr) { delete ptr; }
};

/**/
class Derived : public Base
{
public :
Derived(char id='1') : Base(id) {};
~Derived() {};
};
/**/

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{

Base* pb = Base::CreateBase('B');
Base::DestroyBase(pb);
return 0;
}
=================================================

I should have added that since Base class declares
destructor private, it cannot be instantiated directly
either, but I though it is kinda self-evident. My apologies
- just typed quick answer, describing a concept.

So here you go : you need static create/destroy functions,
declared within the scope of the Base class (or friend
functions, declared globally).

Now the major point : no matter how you try, declaration of
class Derived will not pass compilation - unless you define
similar create/destroy methods for class Derived within
Base class scope - which you, as a designer, choose not to
do. Here is the compiler error, produced at line with "void
Derived::~Derived()" declaration (compiled in .NET) :
==========================================
1>.\Test.cpp(46) : error C2248: 'Base::~Base' : cannot
access private member declared in class 'Base'
1> .\Test.cpp(35) : see declaration of 'Base::~Base'
1> .\Test.cpp(32) : see declaration of 'Base'
======================================

If you still in doubt - try this piece of code for yourself.
If you comment out declaration of class Derived, code
compiles just fine.

Now a bit of personal advise for Mms Zubeir : in the future,
before calling other's people opinion a "junk", try to give
it a little thought...and by extension, benefit of doubt to
your own self-assured opinion. This attitude may look good
on interview for some junior/mid-level position - for some
dumb hiring manager, grown on Scott Meyers/C++ in 21 day
type of books :-) But, it will not earn you much respect
amongst professionals. Arrogance is usually sure sign of
ignorance and lack of confidence...never convincing, and
rather good cause for laughter instead. Please remember that
next time before opening your mouth in attempt to discredit
other people's views.
