I'm borrowing these words from the BeBook: "due to the peculiarities of C++, overriding any version of an overloaded function hides all versions of the function". So, in order to access the hidden function you can either explicitly call A::function1(x, y, z), or have function1(int, int, int) implemented in class B again.
