Hi all, We just found a bug while compiling the following code. The derived template class doens't know the pure virtual method from its parent class when this template class has a method with the same name, but with different arguments:
class A { public: virtual void doit() = 0 ; } ; template <typename T> class B: public A { public: virtual void doit(double) {} } ; class C: public B<double> { public: virtual void doit() {} } ; int main() { A* a = new C ; B<double>* b = new C ; a->doit() ; // ok // Compile error with gcc-3.4.3: // error: no matching function for call to `B<double>::doit()' // note: candidates are: void B<T>::doit(double) [with T = double] b->doit() ; } -- Summary: inherited polymorphic template class Product: gcc Version: 3.4.3 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: critical Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: fmaerten at igeoss dot com http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24893
