Consider an example:
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
template <class, class T>
using alias = T;
template <template <class...> class>
struct tt_wrapper{};
template <class...>
struct t_wrapper{};
struct A {
template <template <class...> class TT, class T>
void foo(alias<tt_wrapper<TT>, T>) { std::cout << "A::foo invoked" << std::endl; }
};
struct B: A {
using A::foo;
template <class U, class T>
void foo(alias<t_wrapper<U>, T>) { std::cout << "B::foo invoked" << std::endl; }
};
int main() {
B b;
b.foo<std::vector>(int{});
}
According to [namespace.udecl] / 15 :
When a using declaration brings names from a base class to a derived class, the member functions and member function templates in the class overrides the class and / or hides member functions and member function templates with the same name, parameter list, cv-qualification and ref-qualifier (if any) in the base class (rather than conflicting) .
