accessing parent class method
 

In my program I am using two classes foo1, the parent class, and foo2
the child class!
foo2 has overloaded inserter and extractor operator, but so does foo1!
How can I access foo1 inserter or extractor?


Thanks

I would call it bad style to explicitly call a parent's implemenetation
of a function (and bad design if you have to), unless it is done in the
child's implementation of the same function:

#include<iostream>

struct foo1 {
virtual void foobar() {
std::cout << "foo1\n";
}
};

struct foo2 : public foo1 {
virtual void foobar() {
std::cout << "foo2\n";
foo1::foobar(); // Call foo1's foobar()
}
};

int main() {
foo1* f = new foo1();
f->foobar();
delete f;
f = new foo2();
f->foobar();
}

I got it now!
Thanks.
