I am assuming that you have something like:
class Base
{
virtual SInt32 ProcessKeyword(char* szKey,char* szParams);
virtual SInt32 ProcessKeyword(UInt32 nKeyCode,char* szParams);
};
class Derived : Base
{
//Only overloading one of them
virtual SInt32 ProcessKeyword(char* szKey,char* szParams);
};
If this is so, then the warning is correct, and it is an error if you
do something like:
Derived d;
d.ProcessKeyword(25,"asdf");
But this is still OK:
Base *b = new Derrived;
b->ProcessKeyword(25,"asdf");
You can fix this by either:
1) Adding "using Base::ProcessKeyword;" like so:
class Derived : Base
{
using Base::ProcessKeyword;
virtual SInt32 ProcessKeyword(char* szKey,char* szParams);
};
2) or making sure that you implement all overloads of ProcessKeyword
in the derrived class.
