Hi,
I have the following header file (named test.h):
class Foo
{
public:
Foo(void) {}
virtual ~Foo(void) {}
};
class Bar : public Foo
{
public:
Bar(void) {}
virtual ~Bar(void) {}
};
with a very simple cpp file:
#include "test.h"
int main() {
Foo* f = new Bar();
}
This compiles with Visual Studio 2005, but with g++ 4.1.1 I get an
error:
bash-3.00$ test.cpp:4: error: Foo is an inaccessible base of Bar
Acutally, I know that this error message occurs when doing something
like "class Bar : private Foo" (i.e. inherit the code but withouth
polymorphism). But I obviously declared to use public inheritance.
Does anybody see the problem?
Thanks,
Stefan 9 18089

The only /potential/ problem is the name of the header file.
Put the code you posted in the same cpp file and compile it again
(comment out 'with a very...' and the '#include'). If it compiles,
the problem isn't in the code. If it doesn't, you're SOL. Get
a better compiler.

The only thing I see unusual is the use of void as a parameter type. In
C++, don't use "(void)" when there's no parameter, just use "()". I don't
know if it's an error, but it's certainly not the norm.

Unfortunately, it's not as unusual as it ought to be.

I agree, it's a better style IMO, but they are definitely the same
AFA function declarations are concerned.
I don't know if it's an error, but it's certainly not the norm.
It's perfectly fine from the syntactic point of view.

Are you sure this is the complete story? How exactly do you compile your
files with gcc 4.1.1?

Your code looks fine, are you sure there's no other test.h file in the
way ?
Acutally, I know that this error message occurs when doing something
like "class Bar : private Foo" (i.e. inherit the code but withouth
polymorphism).
Deriving a class with the keyword "private" doesn't imply anything
about polymorphism. It just means that private members of the base
class will not be visible from the derived class.

Thanks for the hint, this helped :) So the actual code obviously was
correct. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
