>Environment:
Linux/Intel RedHat 7.0; glibc 2.2, gcc was compiled with patch from gcc home page; no flags to 'configure'
>Description:
Assume there are class A and class B : public A;
in class A there are several methods with the same name but different parameters. Class B overloads one of the methods mentioned above.

Now, when one calls for object of class B method inherited from class A, error message is generated.
Since there is no preprocessor code and .ii file is identical to the .cpp one, I attached .cpp only
Compiler output:
[vkondra-l@vkondra-mobl gcc-bug]$ gcc -c test.cpp
test.cpp: In function `int main(int, char **)':
test.cpp:14: no matching function for call to `B::f (int, int)'
test.cpp:9: candidates are: void B::f(int)

>How-To-Repeat:
gcc -c test.cpp
>Fix:
