Hello, The way to declare a inline virtual destructor within the class declaration seems to unvirtualize it. Trying the following code :
#include <iostream> struct A { virtual ~A() = default; }; struct B : A { virtual ~B() { std::cout << "B destructor" << std::endl; } }; int main() { B* b = new B; A * ptrA = *b; delete ptrA; return 0; } Nothing appear on standard output. -- Summary: [c++0x] Unvirtualzation of virtual destructor Product: gcc Version: 4.4.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: lavock at gmail dot com GCC build triplet: -486-linux-gnu GCC host triplet: -486-linux-gnu GCC target triplet: -i486-linux-gnu http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42983
