Accessing protected members in a derived class

Question

I ran into an error yesterday and, while it\'s easy to get around, I wanted to make sure that I\'m understanding C++ right.

I have a base class with a protected memb

Answer 1

Use this pointer to access protected members

class Derived : public Base
{
  protected:
    int d;
  public:
    void DoSomething(const Base& that)
    {
      this->b+=that.b;
      d=0;
    }
};
