• Ultrahead Justification for forcing 'virtual' for overridden virtual functions

  Since C++ does not force a programmer to specify the 'virtual' keyword when overriding a virtual function in a base class, what was the justification for forcing not only 'virtual' but also an after the parameter list 'override' when overriding virtual functions of a base ref class or interface class. For normal C++ programmers this bifurcation from C++ seems both a PITA and absolutely unnecessary. There must have been some practical reason for ...Show All

I have a problem though with the IAddrBook::Address method. The original code was as follows:- if(FAILED(hResult = lpAdrBook->Address(&hWnd, &adrparm, &lpadrlist))) {  // report error cleanup and exit } ...Show All
