c++ - Problems inheriting operator* -

i've been having troubles trying inherit operators in c++, using vs2013. have class implements several methods , class b inherits a. class implements operator * interacts class c, like:

class {     ...     c operator*(const c &_objectc) {...} }  class b: public {     ... } 

since changes between , b don't change implementation of operator *, nice inherit instead of re-implement it. i've been trying that, compiler can't find operator implemented a.

in following code:

b foo = ...; c bar = ...; c result = foo * bar; 

i'm having error:

error c2679: binary '*' : no operator found takes right-hand operand of type 'class c' (or there no acceptable conversion) 

i know operator= has overloaded because compiler generates version of each class, can't inherit directly.

¿can other operators inherited? understanding possible, compiler doesn't agree. ¿is there i'm doing wrong or have re-implement operator call parent class's operator?

thanks in advance.

the following code, equivalent have presented (at time of writing answer), semicolons added , main function filled out, works:

class c {};  class { public:     auto operator*( c const &_objectc ) const         -> c     { return c(); } };  class b: public { };  auto main()     -> int {     b foo = b();     c bar = c();     c result = foo * bar; } 

hence have not provided code problem is.
