Subject: RE: pure virtual w/implementation bug in GCC 3.3?
Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2003 19:46:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <363801FFD7B74240A329CEC3F7FE4CC4A2760A@ntxboimbx07.micron.com> (raw)
Without actually looking at the standard, isn't a pure virtual function with an implementation simply a contradiction? The fact that there is no implementation is what makes it "pure". Otherwise, it's just a regular virtual function. It doesn't make sense to try to say something is both pure virtual and that it has a definition. That's just self contradictory...
Thanks,

Subject: pure virtual w/implementation bug in GCC 3.3?
Hi everyone,
Using GCC 3.3 or GCC 3.2, it appears unable to digest this code:
--------8<--------
class Foo
{
public:
virtual ~Foo() = 0 { }
};
--------8<--------
> g++33 -c foo.cpp
foo.cpp:4: error: parse error before `{' token
foo.cpp:4: error: missing ';' before right brace
Pure virtual functions can have implementations. Pure virtual destructors (if I recall correctly) MUST have implementations.
And if the implementation is defined later with GCC 3.2 or 3.3 -- either as inline or not as inline ("out of line"?) -- it digests it with out an issue.
As per Stroustrup's C++PL, the EBNF grammar looks like it should and does support the syntax given above. (The "implicit inline" of a method given in the class declaration.)
Is this a known bug in GCC?
Or is this a new bug in GCC?
Or am I misinformed?
Thanks,
--Eljay
