Hi there, In
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#patch,unified,35581,1,/COMMIT_MSG we have a discussion about whether to reimplement a virtual method (the obvious way to fix this bug, as was done in the Qt 5 patch), or to avoid doing so. In this case, code which gets recompiled will get the bug fix, and code that does not get recompiled will not get the bug fix. Do we care about cases like that? Existing compiled code will continue to work as before. From the point of view of the dynamic linker, it is BC as there is no change to the virtual table size etc (AFAIK). Do we have a hard policy for this? 'It's fine to add virtual method overrides as long as the existing compiled code continues to work without new bugs' makes sense, but do we have it written down anywhere authoritive?
