However, this check still has a minor problem: if function declaration is definition, like here:

virtual f()
{
}

and patch modifies only first line

-virtual f()
+virtual f() override
{
}

error is not detected, because checker treats f as unfinished (inside patch borders). However, it should affect other checks as well.
