Overriding non-virtual methods by virtual ones

2 Jun 2003


      I recently came about the issue of overriding non-virtual methods by
virtual ones. GPC currently allows this, but it may be slightly
confusing. BP allows it as well, so we shouldn't forbid it. But
should we warn? (Always or unless `--borland-pascal' was given?)

type
  a = object
    procedure p;
  end;

  b = object (a)
    procedure p; virtual;
  end;
