The following program compiles and runs - is it correct behavior? I
read §11.5 in the January 2012 working draft but couldn't reach a
conclusion.
class B
{
virtual int f() { return 42; };
};
class D : public B
{
public:
int f() { return 43; };
};
int main()
{
D d;
B * pb = &d;
D * pd = &d;
//pb->f(); // error: B::f() is private
pd->f(); // OK: D::f() is public
}
