That would require some design change. For some reason approach that I used is seems to be as standart in new lld, for example there is such method:


```
template <class ELFT>
typename ELFFile<ELFT>::uintX_t
InputSectionBase<ELFT>::getOffset(uintX_t Offset) {
  switch (SectionKind) {
  case Regular:
    return cast<InputSection<ELFT>>(this)->OutSecOff + Offset;
  case EHFrame:
    return cast<EHInputSection<ELFT>>(this)->getOffset(Offset);
  case Merge:
    return cast<MergeInputSection<ELFT>>(this)->getOffset(Offset);
  case MipsReginfo:
    return cast<MipsReginfoInputSection<ELFT>>(this)->getOffset(Offset);
  }
  llvm_unreachable("Invalid section kind");
}
```

I can only guess why it was done in that way. But answering your question: to make it virtual all such places should be reimplemented first, there will be casting problem if I make it virtual only in SplitInputSection class (which is base for EHInputSection an MergeInputSection). 
To use cast<SplitInputSection<ELFT>> I would need to add something to next enum for classof() implementation to recognize the type of SplitInputSection:

```
enum Kind { Regular, EHFrame, Merge, MipsReginfo };
```
That looks very inconsistent with what we already have and if requires change then for all at once I think.
