[Bug c++/18044] New: method signatures with argument overloading does not work across class boundaries

[oyvind dot harboe at zylin dot com]

This does not compile:

class Foo
{
public:
  void test(char *x)
  {
  }
};

class Bar : public Foo
{
public:
  void test(double t)
  {
    test("x");
  }
};


$ g++ -c test2.cc
test2.cc: In member function `void Bar::test(double)':
test2.cc:14: error: no matching function for call to `Bar::test(const char[2])'
test2.cc:13: error: candidates are: void Bar::test(double)

To make it compile, change to:

class Foo
{
public:
  void testy(char *x)
  {
  }
};

class Bar : public Foo
{
public:
  void test(double t)
  {
    testy("x");
  }
};

Invalid, test in Bar hides test in Foo.
Either use:
  using Foo::test;
in front of the declaration of test in Bar.
Or use the full name of test in Foo:
class Foo
{
public:
  void test(char *x)
  {
  }
};

class Bar : public Foo
{
public:
  void test(double t)
  {
    Foo::test("x");
  }
};
