C++ doesn't have multiple dispatch. I think the OP was referring to multiple inheritance, which is not the same thing.

  I was thinking of runtime single dispatch with compile-time type of the arguments to that function.

    So virtual function overloading? Can you give a small bit of sample code to demonstrate what you mean?
    • ZephyrP 9y ago
      just ordinary virtual function that discriminates upon arguments (at compile-time).

        Yeah, multiple dispatch implies more than one argument involved in the dispatch decision at runtime. So that's not the same thing.
