Overloads of inherited member functions

Question

Can a class overload methods that also exist in the publicly inherited interface? It seems like this is unambiguous and useful, but compilers (VC, Intel, GCC) all complain,

Answer 1

This is called hiding the parent member function. You can explicitly call it (by Bound::rebound(left, right) as @Ates Goral said) or you can add a using Bound::rebound in your Node class definition.
