I vote A, C. Only methods can be overloaded.

Poll: Given the following files:

A.pmod: void foo() { werror("A\n"); }

class B { void bar() { foo(); } }

C.pike:

inherit .A.B;

void baz() { foo(); }

void foo() { werror("C\n"); }

Should the following program:

int main() { object c = .C();

c->bar(); c->baz(); }

Output

A C

or

C C

? ie Should parent references be overloadable via inherit?

Can you give an example where one could reasonable expect or make reasonablec use of the "C C" behaviour?

You already know, but I vote C C too.
