I think that is inaccurate, unless you have a different definition of
"re-dispatch" from what I remember of discussions re this topic.
Consider:
type Parent is tagged record .... end record;
procedure Foo (P : Parent);
procedure Bar (P : Parent);
type Child is new Parent with record ... end record;
-- Child inherits Foo from Parent.
overriding procedure Bar (C : Child);
followed by
C : Child;
Foo (C);
That call is not dispatching, so it does not go through the "virtual
table". It calls the inherited Foo for Child.
Now suppose Foo (P : Parent) does a (re-) dispatching call to Bar, which
in this example calls the overriding Bar (C : Child):
procedure Foo (P : Parent)
is
begin
Bar (Parent'Class (P));
end Foo;
I believe this call of Bar is considered "re-dispatching", because there
is a conversion from Parent to Parent'Class (effectively, Child). But
there is only one use of the "virtual table".

As you have often said. I still disagree. Just to let the OP know that
opinions differ on this topic.
