[PATCH] D44295: [clang-tidy] Detects and fixes calls to grand-...parent virtual methods instead of calls to parent's virtual methods

[Zinovy Nis via Phabricator via cfe-commits]

zinovy.nis added inline comments.


================
Comment at: test/clang-tidy/bugprone-parent-virtual-call.cpp:113
+  int virt_1() override { return A::virt_1(); }
+  // CHECK-MESSAGES: :[[@LINE-1]]:34: warning: qualified function name A::virt_1 refers to a function not from a direct base class; did you mean 'BI'? [bugprone-parent-virtual-call]
+  // CHECK-FIXES:  int virt_1() override { return BI::virt_1(); }

Correct, but anyway I don't think it's a problem.
