Question on derived class?

[Ishwar Rattan <ishwar at pali dot cps dot cmich dot edu>]

Assume that A is pure virtual class with some public
methods.

B is derived from A

Class B : virtual A {
public:
     // all methods of A are defined here +
     A new method is also defined (here only)
     -- call it reset()
protected:
     // ...
};

Now B is initiated as

static B b;
A *a = b;

Is it possible to access b.reset() using a->reset()?
