You cannot call a non-static member function without specifying
an object.  The way you've written this, there is no way for B::L::f()
to set its "this" pointer.  Of course, if this is really what you want

to do, the declaration of B::L::f() is unnecessary, since B::L
 inherits the A::L::f() virtual method from its base class.
