>Description:
If class A defines a couple of overloaded methods (virtual or not), and one inherits
this class in another class, let's say B, that redefines one of these methods, the
other overloaded methods from A are not accessible anymore without prepending "A::".
>How-To-Repeat:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class A
{
public:
void f();
void f(int);
};
void A::f() { cout << "A::f()" << endl; }
void A::f(int) { cout << "A::f(int)" << endl; }
class B : public A
{
public:
void f(int);
};
void B::f(int) { cout << "B::f(int)" << endl; }
int
main(int argc, const char **argv)
{
A a;
B b;
b.f(); // <-- compilation fails here: no matching function for call to `B::f()
}
