683049 - Make NS_OVERRIDE and NS_FINAL more useful

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Developer Infrastructure :: Source Code Analysis, defect)

Description

[Joshua Cranmer [:jcranmer]]

To be useful, NS_OVERRIDE and NS_FINAL should be catchable in a lot more situations, i.e., most people's build systems.

Notes:
* C++11 has override and final keywords, which g++ lists as being supported as of 4.7
* If we detect plugin headers for 4.4 <= gcc < 4.7, we could automatically build a simple compiler plugin that just checks for these two things
* A bit of google indicates that MSVC++ may already support at least C++11

Note that the C++11 syntax puts it after the function decl, so it looks like:
 void f() override {}
