default override of virtual destructor

Question

Everyone knows that the desructor of base class usually has to be virtual. But what is about the destructor of derived class? In C++11 we have keyword \"override\" and ability t

Answer 1

Though destructors are not inherited there is clear written in the Standard that virtual destructors of derived classes override destructors of base classes.

From the C++ Standard (10.3 Virtual functions)

6 Even though destructors are not inherited, a destructor in a derived class overrides a base class destructor declared virtual; see 12.4 and 12.5.

On the other hand there is also written (9.2 Class member)

8 A virt-specifier-seq shall contain at most one of each virt-specifier. A virt-specifier-seq shall appear only in the declaration of a virtual member function (10.3).

Though destructors are called like special member functions nevertheless they are also member functions.

I am sure the C++ Standard should be edited such a way that it was unambiguous whether a destructor may have virt-specifier override. At present it is not clear.
