With this code:

module test5;

interface I

class A : I {
    void foo() { }

class B : A, I
{
    alias A.foo foo;
}
    void main()
{
}

I get this error:

--------------------------------

class test5.B interface function I.foo is not implemented

--------------------------------

Does this make sense? I mean, shouldn't the explicit reuse of A.foo in B be sufficient indication to the compiler that B is satisfying the contract I? I'm hoping to make use of such subtleties in some code, but first I have to understand the reasoning behind this. :)

Note that this works if I remove the interface I from B's declaration -- ie "class B: A" -- since, in the D language, B is not required to fulfull A's interface contract even though it inherits from it. -JJR



It look like the real bug is re-allowing B to implement interface I but sometimes bug do get reported differently. Why don't you remove I from B's declaration like you said that works. It actually says here http://www.digitalmars.com/d/1.0/interface.html "Classes cannot derive from an interface multiple times."
