C++ Tutorial => ODR violation via overload resolution

Example

Even with identical tokens for inline functions, ODR can be violated if lookup of names doesn't refer to the same entity. let's consider func in following:

header.h

void overloaded(int);
inline void func() { overloaded('*'); }

foo.cpp

#include "header.h"

void foo()
{
    func(); // `overloaded` refers to `void overloaded(int)`
}

bar.cpp

void overloaded(char); // can come from other include
#include "header.h"

void bar()
{
    func(); // `overloaded` refers to `void overloaded(char)`
}

We have an ODR violation as overloaded refers to different entities depending of the translation unit.
