------- Additional Comments From zilla at kayari dot org 2010-07-07 14:57 ------- I'll just repeat my claim that outputting anything like "did you forget to make it pure?" is probably worse than the status quo.
Forgetting to define a virtual function (or not linking to the object that defines it) is far more common in my experience, and searching the web for this error confirms that. I didn't find any instances of this error on the web where someone meant to declare a function as pure virtual but omitted the pue-specifier. The most common reason for this error is declaring a virtual function and not defining it, which is also the problem in this bug report (the fact that the non-pure declaration was accidental is largely irrelevant; it was declared and not defined.) If any suggestion is made to the user, it should be to ensure that all non-pure virtual functions are defined. Which is what the GCC FAQ already says: http://gcc.gnu.org/faq.html#vtables -- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11793 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
