Actually 'virtual'ness is inherited so you can omit it when declaring the
same function in derived classes. The 'hidden virtual function' problem
happens when a subclass declares a non-virtual function with the same name
but different parameters. The compiler emits a warning for this (but make
sure to enable it).

Huh? You mean when you try to call a virtual function that has an
implementation in a derived class, then the base version gets called instead
of the derived one? That would be major compiler breakage which I've never
seen. Are you sure you got the 'virtual' in the right place (in the base
class) and don't have the hiding problem mentioned above?
