Hi there,
I was wondering, whether I
can access members of a
derived class from within
it, if I accessed it from a
virtual function on the base
classpointer ^^ Example:
class A {
virtual void oskar(void);
};
class B : A {
void emil(){};
void oskar(void)
{emil();};};
A* peter = new B;
B->oskar();
Is this allowed? I know it
is not possible to call emil
directly, but thiswould be a
fine workaround.
Regards,
Jonas

This is allowed. Not only is it allowed, it is the intention for
virtual functions to have access to the class it is defined in.
Don't call it from "A"'s constructor though, you'll get surprises.

Is there a typo here? This does not demonstrate what you're asking, I
guess.

As D. Susman pointed out, this does not look like what you asked for,
perhaps you meant something like this:
class A {
virtual void foo();
};
class B : public A {
void foo() { bar(); }; // Call B::bar() in B::foo()
void bar();
};
int main() {
A* a = new B;
a->foo(); // This will call B::bar();
}

not "not needed", but even wrong, but I'm sure the standard allow extra
';' in class definition or not; AFAIK, some library like /CppUnit/ even
borrows some technique to avoid "extra ';' error" for some compilers,
what compile(s)? I don't know.

This is allowed. Not only is it allowed, it is the intention for
the code is even illformed
if /A/ makes /oskar/ public and /B/ uses public inheritance
then we can write
peter->oskar();
I think this is the OP's intent
virtual functions to have access to the class it is defined in.
Don't call it from "A"'s constructor though, you'll get surprises.

Oh yeah, thanks :) It should
have been peter->oskar() :)

You need to make A::foo public.

This would be allowed;
class A
{
public:
virtual void oskar(); // style issue: do not put void parameter in
but technically allowed
// A should also have a virtual destructor the way you use it thus:
virtual ~A() {}
};
class B : public A // note it must inherit public to use the
inheritance outside of class B itself
{
void emil(){};
void oskar() // it is allowed to be private here and will still
work
{
emil();
}
};
int main() // or any other function
{
A * peter = new B;
peter->oskar(); // allowed as long as oskar is public in A or this
function is a friend
delete peter; // and hope oskar() didn't throw, so preferably use
auto_ptr or scoped_ptr
// but we are illustrating access here
}
Another popular "style" issue is to make the virtual method protected
in A and have a public non-virtual method call it. (It is better to
make it protected rather than private, not because the derived class
can't override the private virtual, it can, and not because it "looks
confusing" (like the FAQ says) but because it cannot implement in
terms of its base class implementation). This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
