           Summary: Annoying warning message
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.2.3
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: emild@collectivestudios.com
                CC: gcc-bugs@gcc.gnu.org

The following example produces this inappropriate warning:

warning: `class Base' has virtual functions but non-virtual 
   destructor

The example:

class Base
{
protected:
	~Base() {}
	virtual void foo()=0;
};

Since the destructor is protected, it is OK for it not to be public. In fact, 
it is a clear indication of the indended use of the base class.

Thanks,
Emil
