Overload?

[zb0S216C]

I'm reading a C++ reference manual written by Bjarne Stroustrup. He listed all the keywords as most books do. I recognised all the keywords except for one: overload. I've googled this keyword but it keeps pointing me towards operator overloading. I haven't mixed overload with operator because they are both next to each other.

Has anyone come across this keyword before?

Note that this is definitely a C++ book because it lists the new & delete operators along with class.

I've never seen an overload keyword anywhere...maybe you are misreading it? Or maybe it's just an index of terms?

See for yourself - See 2.3 - Keywords: http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/c_plus_plus/cfront/release_e/doc/ReferenceManual.pdf

Do you know when this was published? I just went into VC++ and tried putting in "overload" and it didn't turn blue, and it didn't complain when I used it for a variable name. Maybe the document was published before the 1998 standard revision came out or something.

The year was hidden; it was published in 1984 o_0 *Closes the PDF*
So, has overload been deprecated?
