But...back to static binding if...

nIf the signature of the overridden function is not the same as the declaration of the virtual function, overriding does not occur and the virtual function is simply hidden.

nIn such cases, the virtual function invoked will be an inherited function from a direct or indirect base class determined at compile time.

nOr, if the function is invoked through an object rather than a pointer or a reference, static binding will take place instead!
