Erroneous declaration of functions in the class SoundData

[Commondor]

This is an incorrect function declaration:

    class SoundData
    {
    public:
        virtual bool init(const std::string& filename);
        virtual bool init(const std::vector<uint8_t>& newData);
    };

    class SoundDataWave: public SoundData
    {
    public:
        virtual bool init(const std::vector<uint8_t>& newData) override;
    };

Because some compilers accept std::string for std::vector<uint8_t>. As a result, "virtual bool init (const std::string& filename);" not visible in the classes of the heirs. I suggest changing the name of the function "virtual bool init(const std::vector<uint8_t>& newData);" on "virtual bool initData(const std::vector <uint8_t>& newData);".

For example:

string path = "24-bit.wav";

    // compile error:
SoundDataWave* pSoundDataWave = new SoundDataWave();
pSoundDataWave->init( path );

    // compile ok:
SoundData* pSoundDataWave = new SoundDataWave();
pSoundDataWave->init( path );

Can you specify compiler?

Visual Studio 2017 with last upgrade.

It is called function hiding.

Should be fixed to:

class SoundDataWave: public SoundData
{
public:
    using SoundData::init;
    bool init(const std::vector<uint8_t>& newData) override;
};

It is called function hiding.
Why? Both functions in the base class are public.
