How do I override protected members?

[gauthier]

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

Thank you, I just added a page on the wiki if of any use:

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
