Then you can just do class Foo { final: // methods... } or class Foo { final { // methods... } } And even if you couldn't do that, you could always mark each function with final individually. Yes I know that and use it. Not often because I use struct and templates so I need to marks methods as final occasionally ;-)

Then you can just do class Foo { final: // methods... } yes only if I want all methods be virtual and without any other members: class C { final: string field; } does not work. or class Foo { final { // methods... } } Not usefull, I rarely have more than a few final function following one by one. And even if you couldn't do that, you could always mark each function with final individually. Definitely the best way (in my cases).

Yes. final should probably be the default, but unfortunately, that's not the choice that was made early on, and it was decided later that the change wasn't worth the breakage. But it can be worked around easily enough. - Jonathan M Davis
