//
// Tweak to automatically generate stubs for pure virtual methods inherited from
// base classes.
//
// Purpose:
//   - Simplifies making a derived class concrete by automating the creation of
//     required method overrides from abstract bases.
//
// Tweak Summary:
//
// 1. Activation Conditions (prepare):
//    - The tweak activates when the cursor is over a C++ class definition.
//    - The class must be abstract (it, or its base classes, have unimplemented
//      pure virtual functions).
//    - It must also inherit from at least one other abstract class.
//
// 2. Identifying Missing Methods:
//    - The tweak scans the inheritance hierarchy of the current class.
//    - It identifies all unique pure virtual methods from base classes
//      that are not yet implemented or overridden.
//    - These missing methods are then grouped by their original access
//      specifier (e.g., public, protected).
//
// 3. Code Generation and Insertion:
//    - For each group of missing methods, stubs are inserted.
//    - If an access specifier section (like `public:`) exists, stubs are
//      inserted there; otherwise, a new section is created and appended.
//    - Each generated stub includes the `override` keyword, a `// TODO:`
//      comment, and a `static_assert(false, ...)` to force a compile-time
//      error if the method remains unimplemented.
//    - The base method's signature is adjusted (e.g., `virtual` and `= 0`
//      are removed for the override).
//
// 4. Code Action Provided:
//    - A single code action titled "Override pure virtual methods" is offered.
//    - Applying this action results in a single source file modification
//      containing all the generated method stubs.
//
// Example:
//
//  class Base {
//  public:
//    virtual void publicMethod() = 0;
//  protected:
//    virtual auto privateMethod() const -> int = 0;
//  };
//
// Before:
//                              // cursor here
//  class Derived : public Base {}^;
//
// After:
//
// class Derived : public Base {
//  public:
//   void publicMethod() override {
//     // TODO: Implement this pure virtual method.
//     static_assert(false, "Method `publicMethod` is not implemented.");
//   }
//
//  protected:
//   auto privateMethod() const -> int override {
//     // TODO: Implement this pure virtual method.
//     static_assert(false, "Method `privateMethod` is not implemented.");
//   }
// };
//
