I have an odd case with Visual Studio 2003. For somewhat legitimate reasons, I have the following hierarchy:
class A {};
class B : public A {
public:
class A {};
};
class C : public B::A {};
That is, I have an inner class with the same name as a parent of the outer class. When C
tries to inherit from B::A
, Visual Studio thinks I'm pointing to the parent class A
, not the nested class within B
. GCC seems to resolve to the inner class version as I expected
Is this a Visual Studio 2003 bug, or am I doing it wrong? Is there a workaround (other than upgrading Visual Studio)?
This looks like a bug in Visual C++ 2003. Using Visual C++ 2012, B::A
correctly names the nested class A
, not the base class A
.
