I would like to have a method in a base class call a pure virtual method that will be implemented in a derived class. However, the base class parameterless method doesn't seem to be inherited by the derived class. What am I doing wrong? Compiler is MSVC12.
error C2660: 'Derived::load' : function does not take 0 arguments
Here is a complete example (that doesn't compile due to the error):
struct Base
{
void load() { load(42); }; // Making this virtual doesn't matter.
virtual void load(int i) = 0;
};
struct Derived : Base
{
virtual void load(int i) {};
};
int main()
{
Derived d;
d.load(); // error C2660: 'Derived::load' : function does not take 0 arguments
}
