[Bug c++/33121] New: Problem when deriving methods from a class with same name but different argments

[pietz at gmx dot de]

Hello,

I have the classes A and B where B is derived from A. The following methods are
given:

bool A::method();
virtual bool A::method(int arg);

bool B::method(int);

Now when I want to call method() on an object of type B I get the compiler
error that there is no method() in class B and the only candidate is
method(int). Is this my fault with some GCC options or is this really a bug?

Thanks for looking into it.
Andreas

------- Comment #1 from pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org  2007-08-20 13:54 -------
struct A
{
  virtual int method(int);
  int method();
};

struct B: A
{
  int method(int);
};

That is the example.  You need to add:
using A::method;

to get exposed in B, A::method.
