struct A
{
	void foo();
	void operator[](int) const { }
};

struct B : public A
{
	using A::foo;
	using A::operator[]; // #1
};

The keyword 'operator' in #1 shows with a red underline for some reason. Using the using declaration with regular functions works fine.

For the record ;) :

Well in my example it is pointless of course, but it's used to unhide base members if you're implementing the same function with a different signature in a derived class.

struct Base
{
    void operator() (int);
};

struct Derived : public Base
{
    using Base::operator();         // #1
    void operator() (const char *); // #2
};

void foo()
{
    Derived d;
    d(123);  // isn't possible without #1 as #2 hides all base members with the same name.
}
