Subject: Proposal: virtualify KConfigBase::parseConfigFiles()
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-core-devel&m=96291836011134


I'm using KSimpleConfig to create a stupid rediculous file format, and I want
it to support KIO-files.  Well, rather than breaking modularity, I just derive
from KSimpleConfig, and override the destructor and parseConfigFiles so that it
will save and open via the NetAccess class.

Problem: it won't work, parseConfigFiles is non-virtual, and there would be no
other way to read the file off the network.

So, I propose that we make that method virtual to allow this. (Since it's
already protected, it seems illogical for it to not be virtual in the first
place :)
