------- Comment #6 from gcc at eseidel dot com 2009-01-21 01:38 ------- We just hit this when hacking on Chromium code. We were calling a virtual function from a constructor (unintentionally) and the bug was that GCC was silently calling the base-class implementation. After consulting the web, it seems this is correct behavior. It would have ben nice if GCC had warned when compiling the constructor function that the virtual call would not have worked "as naively suspected".
