overload & and inheritance problem

[Vincent ROGER]

I have a maybe a "noob" question to ask but I'd like to why that code does
not compile and why more precisely it does not search for 'print()' method
in 'Model'.
Of course I could replace 'print()' by 'write()' but I'm stubborn.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

struct Model {
virtual void print(ostream &o)=0;
void print() { print(cout); }
};

struct Subclass : public Model {
void print(ostream& o)
{
o << "Subclass";
}

};

int main()
{
Subclass c;

c.print();
}

Thanks for any help.

Subclass:rint(ostream&) hides Model:rint(). See below.

Add

using Model:rint;

Thanks for any help.

Anytime.

Thank you for both the explanation and the solution.
Seems like C++ will always be able to surprise me.
