The code:
struct base {
protected:
virtual void foo() {}
};
struct der : public base {
virtual void foo() { p->foo(); }
base* p;
};
gets you:
~/ootbc/sim/test$ g++ foo.cc
foo.cc: In member function 'virtual void der::foo()':
foo.cc:3: error: 'virtual void base::foo()' is protected
foo.cc:7: error: within this context
