Given a .webidl file like

interface Foo {
  void bar();
};

The generated example .h file will have a function that marks virtual and override at the same time.

virtual JSObject* WrapObject(JSContext* aCx, JS::Handle<JSObject*> aGivenProto) override;

The virtual can be omitted if the function has override.

The virtual can be omitted if the function has override.

Not only can, but should: see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Coding_Style#Methods where is says:

Method declarations must use, at most, one of the following keywords: virtual, override, or final.

Priority: -- → P1

Should we clear this wrong pattern in the codebase either in this bug? For example, I see

virtual JSObject* WrapObject(JSContext* aCx,
                             JS::Handle<JSObject*> aGivenProto) override;

in DOMMediaStream.h

Stop emitting 'virtual' in codegen if we're already emitting 'override'.  r=edgar
