Bug 70627

Hmm.. is this a compile error you are reporting? If so, don't do it at b.k.o, do it on the mailinglist and please provide the error output.

(If you are trying to compile the KDevelop3 beta2 sources on KDE-3.1/3.0 I think there was some problems, since fixed in CVS.)

I'm building against the KDE_3_2_0_BETA_2 tree both of kdevelop and basic kde installation.  It still doesn't seem like a compiler bug to be calling a method that is virtual but not implemented.

Forgot the compile error:

Well.. I never meant to suggest that it was a "compiler bug" (but seeing how you're using "2.96" I can see how you must have run into that suggestion before..).

It is not an error not to reimplement a virtual method if the existing method is sufficient, and it sure isn't the cause for the compile error.

Actually, I have a hard time seeing how the compiler manages NOT to know of a method declared in the base class. Perhaps this is a compiler bug after all...

In either case, there is nothing we can do to retroactively fix the tagged sources, which is part of why it makes very little sense to report compile errors to the bug system. They should go to the mailinglist.

My only other suggestion is for you to try CVS HEAD instead of the beta tag, since you appear to be using CVS anyway. Good luck.

Closing.
