The solution is to tell the compiler which version to use by using a
cast in front of the function :

// add operation with 'int' argument:
addOperation("NameService",(int
(MyComponent::*)(int))&MyComponent::DoSomething,this,OwnThread)...
// add operation with no arguments:
addOperation("NameService2",(int
(MyComponent::*)(void))&MyComponent::DoSomething,this,OwnThread)...

Scripting doesn't support overloading, so you need to rename it anyway
in scripting if you wish to expose both variants.
