How do I override protected members?

Postby gauthier » Sun Dec 07, 2008 11:17 am

How do you declare protected override members?
class Base
get a as String is protected
return "a"

class Inherited
inherits Base
get a as String is override
return "b"


gives
Code: Select all
error: "Sub.A": cannot change access modifiers when overriding "protected" inherited member "Base.A"
warning: (Location of symbol related to previous error)
Compilation failed - 1 error, 1 warning


class Base
get a as String is protected
return "a"

class Inherited
inherits Base
get a as String is protected override
return "b"


gives

Code: Select all
error: Expecting EOL, but got "override" instead.
Compilation failed - 1 error, 0 warnings


Thanks for your help

Put commas in between like it's a list.
...is protected, override

Thanks. I also added a ticket so that in the future, the Cobra compiler will tell you.

Thanks, indicative error messages are a major feature for the compiler, and cobra is already quite helpfull at this :)
