--- Comment #6 from loose at astron dot nl 2010-11-01 12:54:25 UTC --- OK, fair enough. However, I reported this "bug", because I would like GCC to produce a warning when hiding a non-virtual method in *existing* code; an option similar to -Woverloaded-virtual. New code could of course be written, using either C0x attributes or GCC attributes. But that won't solve the issue for C98-compliant code. I agree that it's preferable to remove duplicate bugs. However, I'm not sure the bugs you mention are real duplicates, because at least some of them explicitly refer to overriding (virtual) functions, whereas I'm referring to overloading (non-virtual) functions.
