Cobra needs support 'implements' and overloads on properties

Reported by: hopscc Owned by: Chuck
Priority: major Milestone:
Component: Cobra Compiler Version: 0.8.0
Keywords: Cc:

Description

Currently cobra supports overloads and specifying 'implements'
(for describing that a method provides an implementation of an interface method) on methods but it is not yet provided on properties.

It needs to be because this lack of implementation makes providing a manual 'raw' implementation of an IEnumerator<of T> (for a generic) impossible(*)

since that interface requires properties defining both
.current as <T>
and .current as Object

Heres a minimal impl for a simple generic range enumerator showing the issue.

# very simple Generic Enumerable implementation
class Ranger<of T> implements  IEnumerable<of T> 
	var _start as T
	var _stop as T

	cue init(start as T, endSent as T)
		base.init
		_start = start
		_stop = endSent
	
	def getEnumerator as IEnumerator<of T>
		return RangeEnumerator<of T>(_start, _stop)
			
	def getEnumerator as System.Collections.IEnumerator
		implements System.Collections.IEnumerable
		return .getEnumerator
			
class RangeEnumerator<of T> implements IEnumerator<of T>
			
	var _first = false
	var _start as T
	var _stop  as T
	var _currVal as T
	
	cue init(start as T, stopVal as T)
		base.init
		_start = start
		_stop = stopVal
		_first = true
		
	def hasMoreElements as bool
		return _currVal <> _stop
			
	def nextElement
		_currVal += 1
		
		#
		# For IEnumerator 
		#
		
	def dispose
		pass
	
	def reset
		_currVal = _start
		_first = true
				
	def moveNext as bool
		if not _first
			.nextElement
		_first = false	
		if .hasMoreElements
			return true
		return false

	get current as T
		return _currVal
		
	#get current as Object
	#	return _currVal
	#	# return .current
			
class Test
	def main is shared
		for i in Ranger<of int>(1,10)
			print i

As is it emits a diagnostic (as expected/desired)

c:\home\hops\src\cobra\Tst\simpleGenericEnum.cobra(18): error: "RangeEnumerator<T>" does not implement interface member "System.Collections.IEnumerator.Current". "RangeEnumerator<T>.Current" is either static, not public, or has the wrong return type. (C#)
warning: c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\mscorlib.dll: (Location of symbol related to previous error) (C#)
c:\home\hops\src\cobra\Tst\simpleEnum.cobra(56): warning: (Location of symbol related to previous error) (C#)
Compilation failed - 1 error, 2 warnings

If the second 'get current as Object' is uncommented it still emits a diagnostic regarding duplicated property names

simpleGenericEnum.cobra(59,6): error: There is already another class member with the name "current".
Compilation failed - 1 error, 0 warnings

(*)
A 'raw' implementation provides the interface itself rather than deferring it to a embedded class or using a generator.

This defect only marked as major rather than critical or higher since most Enumerators can be provided as a generator (using yield).
This is not immediately obvious if someone attempts an implementation in the above fashion...
