------- Comment #1 from gcc at magfr dot user dot lysator dot liu dot se 2009-11-21 12:24 ------- Created an attachment (id=19074) --> (http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=19074&action=view) Test case - g++ -Wignored-qualifiers test.C gives confusing results
In C++ it becomes even worse since the types are used more. As it stands right now it becomes ridiculous: $ g++ -Wignored-qualifiers test.C test.C:12: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type test.C:12: error: conflicting return type specified for virtual const int D1::F() test.C:5: error: overriding virtual int B1::F() test.C:20: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function return type test.C:27: error: conflicting return type specified for virtual int D2::F() test.C:20: error: overriding virtual const int B2::F() Are the type qualifiers ignored or are they not? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39985
