- Sub: RE: Pure base again
-
- An operator from a private base is seen by derivated classes because "The check
- for ambiguity takes place before access control and before type checking."(AT&T
- C++ Product Reference Manual 10.1.1 p.65).
-
- This meens that CFront always starts every classes from scratch. CFront
- considers that access control is only an "user feature".
- So, an established rule like an access control can be internally transgressed
- by CFront. With such lacks, I have the feeling that C++ allows to build very
- complex constructions but that every brick could decay on anytime.
-
- Any comments about the highest precedence of ambiguity checking, masking access
- control?
