Basically, inheritance and composition both make one object contain another object.
Then when do we need to use inheritance not composition?
1. Need use polymorphism mechanism by upcasting. For c++, it's done by virtual function.
2. Need to access a class's some functions or member variables, but don't want to expose those to be public accessible.
3. Need to reuse code in an apparent inheritance relationship tree.
