Description

Compiling log4cxx 0.10.0 using Sun Studio 11 on OpenSolaris 2008.05 will generate a lot of warnings like:

Warning log4cxx::pattern::ThrowableInformationPatternConverter::format hides the virtual function log4cxx::pattern::LoggingEventPatternConverter::format(...)

Apparently the problem is that virtual format() methods are added in two different base classes (PatternConverter and LoggingEventPatternConverter). See http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/products/faqs/cpp.html#q28
