LANG.TYPE.ONVM : Override of Non-Virtual Method

JavaScript is not currently enabled, but is required for full CodeSonar manual search and browse functionality.

If you are viewing this file in your hub's Web GUI, enable JavaScript in your browser: you will also need it for GUI functionality.

If you opened this file directly from disk, your browser may be directly suppressing JavaScript functionality: certain browsers perform this suppression on local files (but not files delivered by web servers) for security reasons.

If you access the manual through the hub's Web GUI, the functionality will not be suppressed because the hub is a web server.
Alternatively, your browser may allow you to explicitly disable the security setting that suppresses functionality. See the CodeSonar FAQ for more information.

A method in a base class is not declared virtual, but it is overridden in a derived class.

Availability

Available for C++ only (not C).

Enabling

Checks for this warning class are disabled by default, and require the unnormalized C ASTs for the project. To enable them, add the following WARNING_FILTER rule and RETAIN_UNNORMALIZED_C_AST specification to the project configuration file.

RETAIN_UNNORMALIZED_C_AST = Yes
WARNING_FILTER += allow class="Override of Non-Virtual Method"

Note that retaining the unnormalized ASTs will increase the disk space used to store the project representation, and may make the analysis take longer.

class Base {
  public:
    void nonv_fn_A(void);
    void nonv_fn_B(void);
    virtual void virtual_fn(void);
};

class Derived : public Base {
  public:
    void nonv_fn_A(void);      /* 'Override of Non-Virtual Method' warning issued here */
    void nonv_fn_B(int);              /* ok: does not override nonv_fn_B(void) */
    void virtual_fn(void);            /* ok: virtual_fn(void) declared  virtual in Base */
    void only_in_derived(void);       /* ok: only_in_derived() not in Base */
};

The following configuration file parameters affect checks for this warning class.
