If I execute this code, to my understanding foo::bug should never be
called, since it is a virtual function.

Felix



#include <stdio.h>

class foo {
public:
  foo() { }
  virtual void bug() {
    puts("why am I being called?");
  }
  ~foo() {
    puts("start of foo::~foo");
    bug();
  }
};

class bar : public foo {
public:
  bar() : foo() { }
  virtual void bug() {
    puts("bug not there");
  }
  ~bar() {
    bug();	// should not be calling bar::bug
    puts("end of bar::~bar");
  }
};

main() {
  class bar temp;
}
