False negative: duplInheritedMember

[CHR]

Apparently, cppcheck only looks for duplicate member names within the the immediate base class. Maybe a larger hierarchy could also be supported?

struct Base {
    int i{};
};

struct Derived : public Base {
    int j{}; // rename to i to get warnings about both Derived and Derived2
};

struct Derived2 : public Derived {
    int i{}; //no warning here
};

int main() {
    Derived2 d2;
    return d2.i;
}

Thanks! I have created ticket https://trac.cppcheck.net/ticket/9957

I have the feeling this is relatively simple to fix. Please feel free to investigate..
