However, if the CUT has a virtual base class in its inheritance chain, the call to that class's constructor cannot be specified, because the fixture macros introduce another level of inheritance (sub-struct). This means that we have to jump through some hoops to get to protected members. It would be nice to have an argument to the FIXTURE macros that would allow the tester to specify some or all of the initialization list for the final class/struct in the inheritance chain."
