Override Private

[Liguo Song]

I saw a trick to overrides the member function's private specification. It is as 
following:

class Base {
     private:
         virtual void fun(){ cout << "Base" << endl;};
};

class Derived:private Base {
     public:
         void fun() { cout << "Derived" << endl;};
};

int main() {
     Derived* bp = (Derived *) new Base;
     bp->fun();
     return 0;
}

And, this will give "Base" as the Base::fun() is run.

Is this an intentional behavior or just the compiler gets confused here?

If it is intentional, any justification for this?

Thanks for your comments.
