They're accessible in the derived class just as in the base class,
unless they're declared 'private', and unless they're "shadowed" by
reuse of the names (but in that case the derived class code can access
them by qualifying the names).

Beware, however, that a compiler may or may not conform to the standard
in various respects -- that even goes for the Comeau compiler, although
results from that compiler are usually regarded as definitive.
