Hi, I'm using Intel C++ compiler 9 to compiler a project. But, there are
a lot of warning saying like "virtual function override intended....". I
searched old messages in Google groups, someone already talk about this
issue. But I still confused..
This is the simple test code I copied from these messages
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
class Base {
virtual void foo(); //*position A*
};
class Derived1 : Base {
virtual void foo(int); //*position B*
};
class Derived2 : Derived1 {
void foo(int); //*position C*
};
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The compiler will report two warnings:
Warning one:
warning #1125: function "Base::foo( )" is hidden by "Derived1:: foo" --
virtual function override intended?
Warning Two:
warning #1125: function "Base::foo( )" is hidden by "Derived2:: foo" --
virtual function override intended?
In my opinion, *overriding* is only occurred between two functions which
have the same signature and parameter list. It seems that the function
prototype are different between class Base and class Derived1.
I will be very appreciated if you can give me some explanation. Thank
you for reading my post.

Unfortunately what you opionion is and what the facts are don't happen to
mesh on this. If you have the same function name, reguardless of signature,
you will hide a base function by the derived function. The best work around
is, name your function something different in your derived. Unless you
actually intended polymorphism, then fix the signatures and use the virtual
keyword in the base.

No, it's correct: a function in a derived class overrides a virtual
function in a base class with the same name and signature. A function
in a derived class with the same name as a function in a base class but
a different signature hides the one in the base class.
If you have the same function name, reguardless of signature, you
will hide a base function by the derived function. The best work
around is, name your function something different in your derived.
Unless you actually intended polymorphism, then fix the signatures and
use the virtual keyword in the base.
Agreed: hiding a function often reflects a design error.

To complement what you both said: any 'name' defined in the derived
class hides any member object or function having the same name in the
base; unless it's a virtual function and has a matching function
signature.
struct B
{
int object;
void func() {}
};
struct D : B
{
void object() {} // hides Base::object
int func; // hides Base::func
};
int main()
{
D d;

// d.func(); ERROR

Hi, Ali. Thanks for supply an example for us. As Pete said, "If you have
the same function name, regardless of signature,you will hide a base
function by the derived function." This is a important rule I would
remember. Unless a derived class have a "virtual function has a matching
function name and signature"
Thanks for helping.

Just remember the member function has to be declared virtual in the base
class.

Just remember the member function has to be declared virtual in the base
class.
Do you mean that this is the *precondition* to apply the rule?

What I mean is you can't change a non-virtual base class member function
into a virtual member function in a derived class.

To me, it also seems correct. Are you maybe mixing up overriding and hiding? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

A pure function is called in the base function constructor. It generate

Hi all,
Can someone tell me how virtual functions works.
Like how memory is getting allocated to virtual function. And how to
call base class function through derived class pointer.
And why virtual function can be access only through pointer.
Thanks in advance.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
