Hi all, This question came up in a code review where I annotated subclass's destructor with 'override': class SuperClass { public: virtual ~SuperClass() {} }; class Subclass : public SuperClass { public: ~Subclass() *override*; }; The style guide recommends <https://webkit.org/code-style-guidelines/#overriding-virtual-methods> annotating overriden methods with either 'override' or 'final'. At the same time with a very few exceptions, the vast majority of the subclasses in WebKit annotate their destructors with 'virtual' keyword. It might be because some of the code predates c++11 and virtual was the default choice back then. In any case it prevents the compiler from generating errors when super destructor is accidentally not made virtual. So my question is if there is a reason to exempt destructors from the above rule and mark them virtual in subclasses or they should be annotated with override/final similar to other virtual methods? In the latter case we could update existing code once by automatically generating fix with clang-tidy. -- Thanks, Yury
