C++ inheritance and function overriding

In C++, will a member function of a base class be overridden by its derived class function of the same name, even if its prototype (parameters' count, type and constness) is different? I guess this a silly question, since many websites says that the function prototype should be the same for that to happen; but why doesn't the below code compile? It's a very simple case of inheritance, I believe.

#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;

class A {};
class B {};

class X
{
public:
    void spray(A&)
    {
        cout << "Class A" << endl;
    }
};

class Y : public X
{
public:
    void spray(B&)
    {
        cout << "Class B" << endl;
    }
};

int main()
{
    A a;
    B b;
    Y y;

    y.spray(a);
    y.spray(b);

    return 0;
}

GCC throws

error: no matching function for call to `Y::spray(A&)'
note: candidates are: void Y::spray(B&)
