This question is about C++, not the development of GCC, so would be better suited somewhere like comp.lang.c++ Basically, G++ does what the standard requires. The assignment operator is special, if you don't declare one the compiler does so implicitly and the implicit operator= hides the inherited one. See a good C++ reference for "name hiding". jon
