Could someone take another look at this? I don't mean to waste your time, but I
don't understand the explanation given. I know of another compiler that handles
the example code without any problems.
I agree that 'A is inaccessible' from C, but the code doesn't try to access it.
Consider this one word change to class C:
class C : B {
public:
int c(void *a) { return 7; }
};
Now it compiles fine. Before this is closed again I'd like to understand why it
should matter what type an unreferenced parameter is. Why shouldn't I be able to
pass a pointer to an object of type A (completely unrelated to C) to one of C's
methods? Thanks in advance.
