Function with same name but different signature in derived class
I'm trying to compile this and I can't figure out what is wrong with the code. I'm using MacOSX Snow Leopard with Xcode g++ version 4.2.1. Can someone tell me what the issue is? I think this should compile. And this is not my homework I'm a developer...at least I thought I was until I got stumped by this. I get the following error message:
error: no matching function for call to ‘Child::func(std::string&)’
note: candidates are: virtual void Child::func()
Here is the code:
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class Parent
{
public:
Parent(){}
virtual ~Parent(){}
void set(string s){this->str = s;}
virtual void func(){cout << "Parent::func(" << this->str << ")" << endl;}
virtual void func(string& s){this->str = s; this->func();}
protected:
string str;
};
class Child : public Parent
{
public:
Child():Parent(){}
virtual ~Child(){}
virtual void func(){cout << "Child::func(" << this->str << ")" << endl;}
};
class GrandChild : public Child
{
public:
GrandChild():Child(){}
virtual ~GrandChild(){}
virtual void func(){cout << "GrandChild::func(" << this->str << ")" << endl;}
};
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
string a = "a";
string b = "b";
Child o;
o.set(a);
o.func();
o.func(b);
return 0;
}
