RE: Is this a bug for gcc (2.95 and 3.1)?


Hi,

Your two programs are invalid WRT the C++ standard: ONLY virtual functions
can be declared as "pure" by the provided "=0" syntax. However destructors
are NOT functions as, even if they are declared "virtual" they cannot be
inherited but are ratger sythesized by the compiler if they are not defined.

Note that in fact this indeed reveal a bug in GCC (and that's the reason I
do not qualify your post as off-topic): the compiler should flag your
programs with an error message, reporting that it's illegal to declare a
destructor as pure; I do not check the output of gcc for the first program
to see what diagnostic was provided, but the second one should definitely be
rejected with the same error message.
