Subject: RE:  Annoying warning message

Is it possible to report the warning when an actual attempt to destroy the
object through a Base* is made?

I still think the warning is inappropriate. A virtual function or destructor
is an invitation to the user to call it through a Base*. A non-virtual
protected destructor is an indication that it is not intended for a Base
object to be destroyed through a Base*.

Sure you can.  Anything with protected access can.
