Thanks for your bug report. This is not a bug in g++, but in your
code. It is not mentioned in the FAQ, because it is a basic aspect of
C++; I recommend to read a book on C++. Methods in the derived class
hide methods in the base class. In standard C++, you could write

class B : public A {
public:
        using A::f;
	void f(int);
	void g();
};

which is currently not supported by g++; instead you can write

class B : public A {
public:
        void f(){A::f();}
	void f(int);
	void g();
};
