[vtkusers] [-Winconsistent-missing-override] after new VTK build

[Shawn Waldon]

Hi BBerco,

VTK has started conditionally using override when C++11 is enabled with the
VTK_OVERRIDE macro.  But we haven't done a sweep that converts everything
to use it yet.  Some compilers (clang) have made the decision that if your
codebase uses override anywhere, then it should use it everywhere.  And it
warns when there is an override keyword missing.  So you could either not
build with C++11 or figure out how to get clang to ignore the VTK headers
in your project.  I think it may be as simple as including them with <>
rather than "" in your project, but I'm not sure.  Also, if you are
building your project with C++11, you will want to make sure that VTK is
built with C++11 too (and I think you should have seen these warnings in
VTK's build if you did but maybe that warning wasn't on).

HTH,
Shawn
