RE: Overloading method in derived class

Hi,

It's neither a C++ spec problem, nor a MSVC compiler problem.
It's a wanted C++ spec. for method overriding:

Overriding part of overloaded methods hides all other signatures.
It allows function call restriction (since class inheritance IS a
restriction).

You have two choices:

Best choice: Add an "inline void Add(int x) { Toto::Add(x); }" line to
your Titi definition (overloading the Add operator).
Worst choice: Cast your titi in Toto, and call the Add function.

Hope this helps.
Nicolas

I have the following code :
struct Toto { void Add(int x){} };
struct Titi : public Toto { void Add(int x, int y){} };
int main () 
{ 
Titi titi;
titi.Add(1);
}
And both MSVC 7 and gcc give me 
error : 'Titi::Add' : function does not take 1 parameters
sure i could write titi.Toto::Add(1); and this will work but 
i want to avoid such a pain.
is it a C++ specification problem or a compiler problem ?
Thanks
