But the latest snapshot rightfully complains:

/home/lsd/oliva/t.cc: In function `void g (C &)':
/home/lsd/oliva/t.cc:19: cannot allocate an object of type `C'
/home/lsd/oliva/t.cc:19:   since the following virtual functions are
/home/lsd/oliva/t.cc:19: abstract:
/home/lsd/oliva/t.cc:3:         void C::v ()

It seems that the error message could be improved, so as to point to
the erroneous function declaration and the template instantiation, but
it's technically correct.
