In this case: class A { public: int f() {return 2;} };
class B : public A { public: int f(int e) {return e;} }; int main (void) { B test; test.f(); } I got an error while the A::f() method should be accessible without any problem: test.cc: In function ‘int main()’: test.cc:16: error: no matching function for call to ‘B::f()’ test.cc:10: note: candidates are: int B::f(int) However if the A::f() function have at least one parameter and B::f() more than one, i don't have any errors.
