virtual from Base-of-Base?

guess you have ....

class Grandbase {
public:
virtual int foo();
};

class Base: public Grandbase {
/* no foo() specified here */
};

class Derived, public Base {
public:
virtual int foo();
};

my compiler gives no errors, ..but ... is it safe?

Close enough.

The McSame McKook dolls come in the color, ghost white with a yellow belly.
When you pull the string McSame says, "I surrender, Uncle Ho".
Then, "Get on your knees and suck it, Larry".
Finally, "100 years in Iraq doesn't bother me". Then it shits it's
flightsuit.

Define "safe".

does a...

void callfoo(Grandbase* b)
{
b->foo();
};

Derived d;
callfoo(d);

always call Derived::foo() ?

yes, and callfoo() can also be a member function of Grandbase
It'll call the appropriate virtual foo()
with respect of the type of the object calling it.
Thats still the case even if foo() is private.

#include <iostream>

class Grandbase
{
virtual int foo()
{
std::cout << "GrandBase::foo()\n";
return 0;
}
public:
int callfoo() { return foo(); }

};

class Base : public Grandbase {

};

class Derived : public Base
{
int foo()
{
std::cout << "Derived::foo()\n";
return 0;
}
};

int main()
{
Base b;
Derived d;

b.callfoo();
d.callfoo();
}

/*
GrandBase::foo()
Derived::foo()
*/

I see you passing pointers around, prefer references to constant.
Why?
If you allocate and deallocate using Grandbase* pointers, you'll get
memory leaks because your Grandbase class doesn't have a virtual
d~tor.
What you can't do is declare foo() in Grandbase pure virtual and then
attempt to create an instance of Grandbase or Base.

It won't compile. You probably meant

Derived d;
callfoo(&d);

(and BTW no semicolon after the body of 'callfoo' either), in which
case, yes, it does. And why do you ask here, why don't you just try it?
And what book are you reading that doesn't explain the concept of the
"final overrider", AFA virtual functions are concerned?

Same here, but if you remove the syntax error after class Derived, you
may have more luck.

Definitely it will not give any error because Base class has also int
foo() method derived from Grandbase and it will remain virtual inside
class Base. All the derived class of Base can override int foo(). To
clear these concepts study The C++ Programming Language by Stroustrup.
