Constinator Wrongly Suggests Adding 'const' to virtual method

[tcorbat]

This issue is reported by the analysis with a lower level of confidence. It has a blue marker instead of a green. Such cases that might not be determined for sure whether the declaration should be const can be turned of separately. In the workspace preferences/project properties -> C/C++ -> Code Analysis -> Constificator Problems -> Uncheck "Possibly missing const-qualification"

We'll look into the specific case and see whether we can eliminate this false positive.
However, the duplicate override keyword must not occur. It might be a CDT issue though.

There are a lot of false positives adding 'const' to methods.
Thanks for mentioning the marker color, I hadn't picked up on it. I think these appear as 'info' rather than 'warning'?

[tcorbat]

Yes that's right. Those are "info" markers.
If you have specifc cases with false positives (or negatives) we're interested in knowing about them.

Fixed in the latest version of the Beta Plug-ins. Constificator should not have reported a "low-confidence" problem in the first place, since the quick-fix resolution results in code that does not compile. Thanks for your report and happy coding!
