Martin Sebor commented on STDCXX-1055:
--------------------------------------
For (3), the standard allows implementations to add non-virtual member
functions to library classes (see 17.4.4.4 Member functions), but not virtual
ones.
For (2), only declarations that are detectable by a conforming program matter
for conformance. I agree that exposing additional declarations is detrimental
to portability but it isn't a conformance defect.
The facet dtors were declared protected because facets weren't intended or
envisioned to be used on their own. They were intended to be used only with the
locale class they are installed in. Having a public dtor makes it possible to
easily define an automatic object of the class without having to derive from
it. Some of the stdcxx faces can be used on their own as an extension. I think
there may be tests and perhaps even examples that take advantage of this
feature.
If we don't think the feature is useful I'm not opposed to declaring the
derived facet dtors protected, but it has to be done without breaking
compatibility. It can be done in 4.3 provided it was protected by a macro. It
can be made the default (without a macro) in 5.0 which is expected to break
compatibility.

> Key: STDCXX-1055
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-1055
> Project: C++ Standard Library
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: 22. Localization
> Affects Versions: 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.x, 4.3.x, 5.0.0
> Environment: Solaris 10 and 11, Linux (RedHat and OpenSUSE), Sun C++
> Compiler 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, GCC4.
> The defect is independent of platform or compiler.
> Reporter: Stefan Teleman
> Labels: conformance, standards
> Fix For: 4.2.x, 4.3.x, 5.0.0
>
> Attachments: stdcxx-1055.patch
>
>
> For the following classes:
> std::codecvt<> and its specializations
> std::collate<> and its specializations
> std::ctype<> and its specializations
> std::ctype_byname<> and its specializations
> std::messages<> and its specializations
> std::messages_byname<> and its specializations
> std::money_get<> and its specializations
> std::moneypunct<> and is specializations
> std::moneypunct_byname<> and its specializations
> std::money_put<> and its specializations
> std::num_get<> and its specializations
> std::numpunct<> and its specializations
> std::numpunct_byname<> and its specializations
> std::num_put<> and its specializations
> std::time_get<> and its specializations
> std::time_get_byname<> and its specializations
> std::time_put<> and its specializations
> 1. all these type declarations must be of class type (and not of struct type)
> 2. all these classes must have protected virtual destructors
> 3. all the corresponding *_base (time_base, money_base, etc), must have
> virtual destructors
> The current implementation of these types as structs (with default public
> access
> specifier on their non-virtual destructors) causes failures in Perennial
> CPPVS V8.1.
> Changing the access specifier for these destructors requires some changes in
> the
> stdcxx tests for localization.
> Patch based on 4.2.1 to follow shortly.
