[Dev-C++] A question about overloading

[Maya <Esc...@ne...>]

In the parent class
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
class Parent{
public:
    int a, b, c, d, e;
    .....
    template<class charT, class Traits>
    friend std::basic_istream<charT, Traits>&
    operator>> (std::basic_istream<charT, Traits>&, Parent&);

    template<class charT, class Traits>
    friend std::basic_ostream<charT, Traits>&
    operator<< (std::basic_ostream<charT, Traits>&, Parent& );
In the chile class
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
class Chile : virtual public Parent{
public:
    int f,g;
    ......
    template<class charT, class Traits>
    friend std::basic_istream<charT, Traits>&
    operator>> (std::basic_istream<charT, Traits>&,Chile&);

    template<class charT, class Traits>
    friend std::basic_ostream<charT, Traits>&
    operator<< (std::basic_ostream<charT, Traits>&, Chile& );

As you can see, the derived class also has a inserter and an extractor 
overloaded operator. However, in the driver program [main.cpp] I want to 
make a call to the overloaded inserter and extractor from the Parent 
class, but don't know how to go about it!
void main(){
    Chile obj;
    obj.a = 1; obj.b = 2; obj.c = 3;  obj.d = 4; obj.e = 5;    obj.f = 6;
    obj.g = 7;
    ...
    std::cout << obj << std::endl; // which inserter is called here?
}
