static constant referencing to parent variable

Lets say you want to use the same memory that a parent class does but would like a more fitting name for its new function. This is achieved like this (for example SOCKADDR from winsock):

class Parent{
    int a;
};

#define myA a;
class Child: public Parent{
    void开发者_运维技巧 print(){
        cout<<myA;
    }
};

Much like static const instead of a define - is there a C++ specific alternative of creating this reference?

One possibility would be:

class Child: public Parent
{
     int& myA() { return a; }

     void print()
     {
        cout << myA(); 
     }
     void DoSomethingElse()
     {
        myA() = 10;
     }
};

Define a reference like this, and initialize it in the initializer-list!

class Child: public Parent
{
     int& myA;
     Child() : myA(Parent::a) //<-- note this!
     {
     }
     void print()
     {
        cout<<myA; //myA is just an alias of a!
     }
};
