Hi,

   I believe the following is a rather benign error on the part of g++
1.27.  AT&T cfront flags the redeclaration of the parameter types for
member Print as an error, whereas g++ doesn't complain:

----------------------------------------
class Foo {
private:
   int Y;
public:
   Foo ( int X ) {
      Y = X;
   }   
   int Print ( void ) { // declare Print as taking no parameters
      cout << "Y = " << Y << "\n";
   }
};

class Bar : Foo {
public:
   Foo::Print ( int ); // should not be accepted
};

class Foo_Bar : Bar {
public:
   Bar::Print ( double ); // ditto
};

main () {
   Foo_Bar X ( 10 ); 
   X.Print (); 
}
----------------------------------------

thanks,

Doug
