OMNET++ How to retain all functions in AODVRouting

Question

I'm writting a simple module to simulate a misbehaved node that inherits all functions from AODRouting, and overriding sendAODVPacket function by dropping the AODV packet once it has received it. The .h file as follows:

#ifndef __PROJECT1_SELFISHBASENODE_H_
#define __PROJECT1_SELFISHBASENODE_H_

#include <omnetpp.h>
#include "AODVRouting.h"

using namespace inet;

class SelfishBaseNode : public AODVRouting
{

protected:
virtual void initialize();
virtual void sendAODVPacket(AODVControlPacket *packet, const L3Address&     destAddr, unsigned int timeToLive, double delay) override;

};

#endif

The CC file as follows:

#include "SelfishBaseNode.h"
#include <string.h>
#include <omnetpp.h>

Define_Module(SelfishBaseNode);

void SelfishBaseNode::initialize()
{
}


void SelfishBaseNode::sendAODVPacket(AODVControlPacket *packet, const L3Address& destAddr, unsigned int timeToLive, double delay)
{
    EV << "Received message, dropping message now\n";
    delete packet;
}

.NED file as follows:

package project1;


import inet.node.aodv.AODVRouter;

module snode extends AODVRouter
{
    parameters:
    //@networkNode;
    @display("i=device/wifilaptop");
    @labels(wireless-node);
    @class(SelfishBaseNode);

       submodules:
        bad: SelfishBaseNode {
        @display("p=273,350");
    }
}

When I rebuild my project, i got these error:

SelfishBaseNode.h:35:18: error: 'sendAODVPacket' marked 'override' but does not override any member functions.

Any ideas how to fix this?

The method sendAODVPacket() is declared in AODVRouting.h without virtual. You should add virtual before declaration of sendAODVPacket() in AODVRouting class in AODVRouting.h
