Comment (by ramey):

 Replying to [comment:2 robtoth@…]:

 I made this program compile by adding

 {{{
   friend class Derived;   // make Derived a friend
 ...
   virtual void print() const { // add "const" here
       cout << "Derived" << endl;
   }
 ...
   const Derived d;  // add "const" here
 }}}

 The addition of "const" is pretty obvious.

 The addition of "friend" is not obvious and wouldn't seem necessary.  On
 the other hand, I looked at the code and don't see an easy way to fix
 this.
