c++ - Curiously Recurring Template Pattern and statics in the base class -

so this answer i'm looking @ implementing problem crtp. have problem. in static base class have 2 sets of functions. 1 takes std::vectors , 1 takes standard c-style array. in base class define static function calls non-std::vector function.

however when derive base class seem no longer able access public static function in base class (which thought could).

template< class derived > class base { public:     static void func( std::vector< float >& buffer )     {        func( &buffer.front(), buffer.size() );     }      static void func( float* pbuffer, int size )     {         derived::func( pbuffer, size );     } }; 

i define derived class follows:

class derived : public base< derived > { public:     static void func( float* pbuffer, int size )     {         // stuff     } }; 

however when try call static function in base class:

derived::func( stlvec ); 

from derived class throws compilation error:

error c2665: 'main' : none of 2 overloads convert argument types 1>          c:\development\base.h(706): 'void func( float*, int ) 

i assumed able call public static defined in base class derived class. appears not case, ... can suggest workaround doesn't mean having implement std::vector function in every 1 of derived classes?

func in derived class hides base members same name. use using declarative bring names base class derived class.

class derived : public base< derived > { public:      using base<derived>::func;       //rest.. };
