>Description:

Another case where we call the derived-class version of a virtual function,
in the face of an explicit request to call the version in the
base class.

The example below goes into an infinite recursive loop:

$ g++ -o x x.cc
$ ./x
B::foo
B::foo
B::foo
B::foo
B::foo
...


>How-To-Repeat:

---------------------------------------------
extern "C" int printf(...);

class A
{
public:
  virtual ~A () {}
  virtual void foo () { printf ("A::foo\n"); }
};

template <class T>
class B
  : public A
{
public:
  virtual void foo () {
    printf ("B::foo\n");
    this->A::foo ();
  }
};

int main ()
{
  B<int> b;
  b.foo();
  return 0;
}
