Assignment operator not available in derived class

Question

The assignment operator in base class does not seem to be available in derived class. Given this code:

#include 

class A{
    int value;
pub         


        

Answer 1

Every class has at least one assignment operator implicitly defined when we don't provide one ourselves.

And when a member function in a derived class is defined with the same name as a member in the base class, it hides all the base class definitions for that name.

You can use a using declaration, but be warned that it will pull all the members named operator= and allow code like this:

A a;
B b;
b = a;

Which is slightly dubious.
