Public virtual function derived private in C++

Question

I was trying to figure out what happens when a derived class declares a virtual function as private. The following is the program that I wrote

#include 

        

Answer 1

Well, you are calling A::func() which is public though in a B object it is overridden by B::func(). This is a common pattern with the following implications:

• func is not intended to be called on derived B objects

• func cannot be overridden in classes derived from B
