我有一个我定义的基类:
namespace yxs
{
class File
{
public:
File(std::string fileName);
virtual ~File();
bool isExists();
size_t size();
protected:
std::string fileName;
std::ifstream* inputStream;
std::ofstream* outputStream;
}
然后我创建了一个继承上述基类的子类:
namespace yxs
{
class InputFile : File
{
public:
InputFile(std::string fileName);
virtual ~InputFile();
};
}
在另一个不相关的类中,我实例化了子类并尝试调用该方法:isExists()
void yxs::Engine::checkFile()
{
bool isOK = this->inputFile->isExists(); // Error on compile in this line
if(!isOK)
{
printf("ERROR! File canot be opened! Please check whether the file exists or not.\n");
exit(1);
}
}
但是,该应用程序将无法编译。编译器给出了两条错误消息:
Engine.cpp:66:34: 'isExists' is a private member of 'yxs::File'
和
Engine.cpp:66:17: Cannot cast 'yxs::InputFile' to its private base class 'yxs::File'
当我尝试调用size()
方法时,也会发生这些错误。
为什么会发生此错误?在继承概念中,允许从其子进程调用父类方法不是吗?

您需要将其从私有继承更改为公共继承:
class InputFile: public File
如果没有public关键字,File的所有成员都将成为InputFile的私有成员。
