C++ Blues.

[Adrian Ratnapala <s369625@student.uq.edu.au>]

As much as I like it, sometimes C++ agravates me entirely.
OK suppose you have a class Mummy, and a class Kiddie which
is publicly derived from Mummy.

Now Mummy has a method TellMe(), as well as the method
TellMe(char* Secret).

Kiddie overrides TellMe(), but not TellMe(char* Secret),
(It is irrelevant whether TellMe() is virtual or not, I
tired both).


So now I try  something like
	Kiddie jane;
	jane.TellMe("Hello World")
So you would Mummy::TellMe(char* ) to get called, wouldn't
you.  g++ just complains that Kiddie::TellMe(char*) there
is no match for call to Kiddie::TellMe(char*), but
Kiddie::TellMe() is a candidate.


It all works if I disable or rename Kiddie::TellMe().

Is this 
	A)  Some stupid error I have made.
	B)  A compiler bug.
	C)  Something absolitulely mad in the C++ language.
        

Maybe someone can reproduce the problem.  Attached is a
test program.
#include <iostream.h>

class  Class1{
  public:

  void Meth(void){};
  void Meth(int i){
    cout << i << " Miles per Hour\n";
  }
};

class Class2 : public Class1{
  public:
  void Meth(void){cout << "Vrrroooom ";}
};



void main() {
Class2 o2;
	o2.Meth(23);
}
