The declaration of top_c is missing the following statement:

using middle_c::func;

so it would look like

class top_c: public middle_c
{
public:
  using middle_c::func;
  void func() { cout << "top_c::func()" << endl; };
  /* void func(char);
   * use function inherited from middle_c
   */
};

I don't have access to GCC on the machine I'm on, so I don't know if this is 
implemented yet, but it is in the standard.
