>Description:

The method A.a() is not inherited by B.

Baloo: ~/tmp > c++ -c bug.cc
bug.cc: In function `int c()':
bug.cc:28: no matching function for call to `B::a()'
bug.cc:22: candidates are: void B::a(int)

>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the attached program:
--8<--
class A 
{
public:
   void a(int);
   void a();
};

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

int c() 
{
   B b;
   b.a();
}
--8<--
