Why do you believe it’s a false-positive/false-negative?
The rule has an exemption: “This rule ignores protected functions in a final class that are overrides of a base class protected function.”, but it does not seem to be applied. As far as I can see, the code follows all prerequisites of the exemption, but the rule is flagged anyway.
Are you using
SonarQube - which version?
Enterprise Edition Version 9.9 (build 65466)
How can we reproduce the problem? Give us a self-contained snippet of code (formatted text, no screenshots)
class X {
protected:
virtual void a() = 0;
};
class Y final : public X {
protected:
void a() override {}
};
For what it’s worth, it looks like the false positive is attributed to the protected specifier running off to the end of the class, and not that the function isn’t being exempted from the rule.
