Hi,

recently I've asked a question about member templates and virtual functions.
Now, it seems to me that this question is part of larger problem: when does a
member function generated during the instantiation of a template override a
virtual function? Here are some examples ( I've done my best to complicate
the matters :-). Class Base is declared as:

class Base
{
 virtual void f(Base);
};


1)

template<class T> class Derived : Base
{
 void f(T);
};

2)

template<class T> class Derived : T
{
 void f(Base);
};

3)

template<class T> class Derived : T
{
 void f(T);
};


In which cases will Derived<Base>::f override Base::f and in which sections
of the DWP are these situations discussed? Is there a general rule? I'd
suggest one if not.

Bye

Roman
