Curiosity: QAbstractFileEngine virtual methods
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
just out of curiosity a question.
Lately I have been pointed to the QAbstractFileEngine class. When I read the
docs I noticed several times the statement:
"This virtual function must be reimplemented by all subclasses."
So if all subclasses must reimplement this function, why not make it
pure virtual? The only reason I see not to do so would be to be able to
instantiate a QAbstractFileEngine object, but this cannot be the reason,
can it? Are there any circumstances, where this would make sense?
