java重载疑惑

首先是Base代码

class Base {
        @Override
        public String toString() {
                return "Base";
        }
}

Child代码

class Child extends Base {
        @Override
        public String toString() {
                return "Child";
        }
}

Main代码

class Main {
        public void test(Base base) {
                System.out.print("Function for Base: ");
                System.out.println(base);
        }
        public void test(Child child) {
                System.out.print("Function for Child: ");
                System.out.println(child);
        }

        public static void main(String[] args) {
                Child child = new Child();
                Base base = new Base();
                Main ts = new Main();
                ts.test(child);
                ts.test(base);
                ts.test(child);
        }
}

编译运行没有问题。十分疑惑，javac或jvm是怎么判断该调用哪个方法。查看class文件，发现是由javac生成字节码是就指定了调用方法。

<pre name="code" class="plain">    

24: aload_3 25: aload_1 26: invokevirtual #13 // Method test:(LChild;)V 29: aload_3 30: aload_2 31: invokevirtual #14 // Method test:(LBase;)V 34: aload_3 35: aload_1 36: invokevirtual #13 // Method test:(LChild;)V

修改下代码，去掉public void test(Child child)方法。字节码为

<pre name="code" class="plain">      

24: aload_3 25: aload_1 26: invokevirtual #12 // Method test:(LBase;)V 29: aload_3 30: aload_2 31: invokevirtual #12 // Method test:(LBase;)V 34: aload_3 35: aload_1 36: invokevirtual #12 // Method test:(LBase;)V

是由javac来选择方法的，这部分等查阅了java语言规范，再研究下。
