In my view, the compilation unit will produce exactly the same object file, whether attribute(reimpl) is implemented or not, used or not. The only difference is that with attribute(reimpl) we might emit a warning iff the method does not override another virtual method in the base class. Why do you think there is a semantics part? Maybe I do not get it. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17920
