According to 11.4.7 [class.dtor] paragraph 5,
A destructor is trivial if it is not user-provided and if:
the destructor is not virtual,
...
It is not clear why this restriction is needed, and it should be removed if it is not needed.
Rationale (February, 2014):
A trivial destructor is known to perform no actions and thus need not be invoked. A virtual destructor, however, might be member of a base class of an unknown derived class; it must therefore be called virtually in case an overriding virtual function performs some actions.
