"Overloaded " method vanished

Hi,

I stumbled across the following error

foo.cc: In function `int main()':
foo.cc:15: error: no matching function for call to `Bar::foo(int)'
foo.cc:9: error: candidates are: void Bar::foo(int, int)

where foo.cc is

struct Foo
{
int i ;
void foo(int i) { this->i = i ; }
} ;

struct Bar : public Foo
{
void foo(int j, int k) { this->i = j * k ; }
} ;

int main()
{
Bar bar ;
bar.foo(2) ;
bar.foo(3, 4) ;
return 0 ;
}

So Foo::foo(int) is no longer accessible in the derived class Bar. --
Though it is accessible if Bar has no foo(int, int) method. -- Is this
covered by the standard, and if so why?

thx & rgds, Steffen

Yes. It is called 'function hiding'.
Please serach the groups archive at www.google.com for 'function hiding'.

What would be the "relevant portion"? The two timestamps from the
original post and the reply? Try limit your requests about quoting
of relevant portions to something that actually makes sense, will you?

At the very least, the attribution, so that we know which "quick
answer" the person is talking about.

It's then a good thing that this is one of those cases.
With the spreading use of Google, people need to be trained to use the

Perhaps you should start another forum, like comp.google.how to and give
your advice there? Here it looks more and more like the noise we want to
avoid. I'll happily redirect people to such newsgroup (and we can add
a mention of it in the FAQ) if it existed... Or maybe you could appeal to
Google so that they fix their reply mechanism... In any case, posting
here about any _particular_ news reading software and how to use it is
just like posting about any particular compiler and its command-line
switches, don't you think?

In our applications, we use the special value of DateTime.MinValue to represent "null dates" throughout all our code. We recently ran into an issue where we wanted an optional date parameter for a procedure. We weren't able to declare it with DateTime.MinValue as its default value, as MinValue is a read-only property rather than a constant. To work around, we had to use a "magic date" that we checked for later on. I was never very happy...
