The C++ mapping doesn't have anything to say about the matter, so
either is permitted. omniORB doesn't use virtual functions by default,
since they are slightly slower than non-virtual ones, and most people
have no reason to need them.

As luck would have it, omniidl can output the functions as virtual.
Just use the (undocumented) -Wbvirtual_objref switch after -bcxx.

Cheers,

Duncan.
