Description Andreas Pietzowski 2007-08-20 13:07:25 UTC 
Hello,

I have the classes A and B where B is derived from A. The following methods are given:

bool A::method();
virtual bool A::method(int arg);

bool B::method(int);

Now when I want to call method() on an object of type B I get the compiler error that there is no method() in class B and the only candidate is method(int). Is this my fault with some GCC options or is this really a bug?

Thanks for looking into it.
Andreas

struct A
{
  virtual int method(int);
  int method();
};

struct B: A
{
  int method(int);
};

That is the example.  You need to add:
using A::method;

to get exposed in B, A::method.
