             Bug #: 12155
           Summary: It would be useful to mark a virtual method as "must
                    be overridden"
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P
         Component: C++
        AssignedTo: unassignedclangbugs at nondot.org

It's often useful to have a virtual method on a class that's not pure virtual
but that all subclasses need to override.  A typical example would be a "how
much memory am I using?" method.

It would be nice to be able to annotate such methods so that clang warns when
they're not overridden by a subclass.
