Hello.

I've been playing with following example:

#include <stdlib.h>

class Base
{
public:
    virtual ~Base() {}
};

class Derived: public Base
{
};

#define N 1000

int main()
{
    Base **b = (Base **)malloc (sizeof(Base *) * N);
    for (unsigned i = 0; i < N; i++)
      b[i] = new Derived();

    for (unsigned i = 0; i < N; i++)
      delete b[i];

    return 0;
}

Where I would like to somehow give an advice to devirtualize
machinery. My motivation is to inline destruction in 'delete b[i]'.
'final' keyword does not solve my problem:

a.c:9:7: error: virtual function ‘virtual Derived::~Derived()’
   class Derived: public Base
         ^
a.c:6:11: error: overriding final function ‘virtual Base::~Base()’
     virtual ~Base() final {}

What about:

class Derived final: public Base {};


Yes, that works, but it allows one to have a different class that inherits from 
the Base class.
