Possible false positive for cpp:S1242 (Inherited functions should not be hidden)

[Ferris (Bueller)]

Hello,

I have issues relative to the rule cpp:S1242 I don’t understand.
Here is a minimal code sample I’ve tested with the issues appearing on the lines as indicated in the comments :

class A
{
public:
    A();
    virtual ~A();
    virtual void method1() const;
    virtual void method2() const;
    virtual void method3(int n) const;
};

A::A() {}
A::~A() {}
void A::method1() const { printf("A::method1\n"); };
void A::method2() const { printf("A::method2\n"); };
void A::method3(int n) const { printf("A::method3 with %d\n", n); };

class B : public A
{
public:
    B();
    virtual ~B();
    virtual void method1() const override; // Correct this function so that it no longer hides "A::method1"
    void method2() const override; // Correct this function so that it no longer hides "A::method2"
    void method3(int n) const override; // Correct this function so that it no longer hides "A::method3"
};

B::B() {}
B::~B() {}
void B::method1() const { printf("B::method1\n"); };
void B::method2() const { printf("B::method2\n"); };
void B::method3(int n) const { printf("B::method3 with %d\n", n); };

I don’t understand how these issues may appear since override is used for the three virtual methods.
Did I missed something ?

Hello @Ferris,

Welcome to the community!

This is an obvious false-positive. This ticket will fix it. It will be part of the next release planned at the end of the next week.
