Summary:
Currently code base of kwin can be viewed as two pieces. One is very
ancient, and the other one is more modern, which uses new C++ features.
The main problem with the ancient code is that it was written before
C++11 era. So, no override or final keywords, lambdas, etc.
Quite recently, KDE compiler settings were changed to show a warning if
a virtual method has missing override keyword. As you might have already
guessed, this fired back at us because of that ancient code. We had
about 500 new compiler warnings.
A "solution" was proposed to that problem - disable -Wno-suggest-override
and the other similar warning for clang. It's hard to call a solution
because those warnings are disabled not only for the old code, but also
for new. This is not what we want!
The main argument for not actually fixing the problem was that git
history will be screwed as well because of human factor. While good git
history is a very important thing, we should not go crazy about it and
block every change that somehow alters git history. git blame allows to
specify starting revision for a reason.
The other argument (human factor) can be easily solved by using tools
such as clang-tidy. clang-tidy is a clang-based linter for C++. It can
be used for various things, e.g. fixing coding style(e.g. add missing
braces to if statements, readability-braces-around-statements check),
or in our case add missing override keywords.

Summary:
The OverlayWindowX11 also inherits from X11EventFilter and performs
the filtering itself.

Summary:
The overlay window is only needed for the X11 based compositors. Given
that it is better suited in the X11 platform. Unfortunately it is not
possible to completely move it into the platform plugin as it is still
referenced in KWin core (e.g. SceneXRender). Due to that the
OverlayWindow in KWin core is turned into a pure virtual class with the
implementation being moved into the plugin.
The platform API gains a new virtual factory method which is only
implemented in the X11 platform.
