The below code compiles with gcc v4.3.3 and the templated child class seems to be overriding a virtual function in the parent, but doesn't that break the rule that you cannot have a virtual template function? Or is something else happening that I don't understand?

class BaseClass
{
public:
  virtual void Func(int var)
  {
    std::cout<<"Base int "<<var<<std::endl;
  }

  virtual void Func(double var)
  {
    std::cout<<"Base double "<<var<<std::endl;
  }
};

template <class TT>
class TemplateClass : public BaseClass
{
public:
  using BaseClass::Func;
  virtual void Func(TT var)
  {
    std::cout<<"Child TT "<<var<<std::endl;
  }
};

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  BaseClass a;
  TemplateClass<int> b;
  BaseClass *c = new TemplateClass<int>;

  int intVar = 3;
  double doubleVar = 5.5;

  a.Func(intVar);
  a.Func(doubleVar);
  b.Func(intVar);
  b.Func(doubleVar);
  c->Func(intVar);
  c->Func(doubleVar);
  delete c;
}

This then outputs:

Base int 3
Base double 5.5
Child TT 3
Base double 5.5
Child TT 3
Base double 5.5

as I hoped, but I'm not sure why it works.
